MTASC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MTASC (Motion-Twin ActionScript 2 Compiler) is an open-source ActionScript 2.0 compiler written in OCaml by the company Motion-Twin. It is either used standalone, or in combination with other open-source tools like swfmill to produce SWF files that can be used to publish interactive, multimedia content playable with the Flash Player. MTASC is also much faster than the Macromedia Flash ActionScript compiler.

MTASC is based on the best compiler technology available with the OCaml programming language and thus provides a great speed improvement over the Macromedia Compiler (MMC). MTASC corrects several safety problems that occur when using MMC. The MTASC compiler is stricter than MMC and can detect more errors than MMC. Because of this strictness, there are some differences between MMC and MTASC.
