One of the major challenges for any developer is to cope with shift in development paradigms; and it happens quite frequently. Just take the example of HTML5 gaining the momentum to become major development environment for content-rich websites, games and web applications loaded with multimedia. With this single shift, a lot of stuff that was once done with Flash and Action Script is rapidly moving to HTML5.

Fortunately, coping with this change is quite simple and easy with FlashJS. Based on JavaScript, FlashJS provides a smart graphics and game development engine with API similar to Flash one. FlashJS allows you to write your Action Script 3 code inside of actionscript HTML5 tag.

FlashJS comes complete with example games code and syntax sugar for game developers and supports keyboard and mouse events, Loader, Tweens, alpha properties and much more.
