Is there a Java to Flash compiler?

Question

GWT is pretty cool: write in Java, we build an Ajax app.

Is there something similar for Flash? Code in Java, we convert it to Actionscript?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I haven't use any myself but found these from osflash.org

This seems to be doing something of the sort. http://www.flagstonesoftware.com/transform/. Then there is haxe which doesn't do Java as far as I know but might be worth looking into.

UPDATE: I just found out that ANTLR will also talks ActionScript. You'll have to define a formal grammar that translates other languages into ActionScript (http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Antlr3ActionScriptTarget)

Answer 2

I'm not sure is available yet, but Joa Ebert showed a Java to SWF compiler at last Flash on the Beach. You can read about it in Compiling Java and C# to SWF.

Cheers,
