Are there any options for compiling Flex / Flash projects in Javascript / JQuery? I think I remember this feature, perhaps part of Adobe's latest development tools?

Adobe is currently working on Falcon (JS). which will cross Flex projects with JS.

Adobe introduced FalconJS source code or prototype source code into Apache Flex. This is not a finished product, but some simple applications can be compiled for JavaScript. The source code can be checked here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/falcon/trunk/compiler.js/
FalconJS depends on the Falcon compiler, which was also included in the Apache Flex project, here is the wiki page with the assembly instructions for Falcon:

OpenLaszlo is an open source development platform that can compile applications in Flash SWF or HTML5 / DHTML (i.e.: HTML + JavaScrtipt). The language syntax consists of XML mixed with ActionScript / JavaScript:

Note:
ActionScript and JavaScript are implementations of ECMAScript ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript ) and are thus almost identical. Anyone familiar with ActionScript or JavaScript programming should feel at home with the OpenLaszlo script.
