[haxe] Re: Haxe vs. OpenLaszlo vs. Flex2?

[Aaron Fay]

Hi Vincent,

There was a discussion about components/widgets for haXe back a bit in 
the list (can't find it now) but I don't believe there are libraries.  
The whole idea is that you have access to the Flash 8/9 libraries (and 
thus controls) in haXe, and with flex you use the flex components (using 
the sdk).  I'm not sure how laszlo compiles, so I don't know how it 
would integrate, although I'm sure a custom wrapper/interface wouldn't 
be too hard.

Cheers,
Aaron
