 the AS 3.0 implementation is entirely missing declarative style of
programming: it is purely event-driven.  i.e. you cannot get an AS 3.0
"command prompt" and start executing code, you can _only_ do "stuff"
as fired off and in reaction to user-driven events [in an adobe flash/
AIR application].

 except by pyjamas developers.  http://pyjs.org

 as does pyjamas. http://pyjs.org
 this also compiles into javascript.
 the source language: python.
