Create a Node.js module with Apache Royale
Write modules with ActionScript that can be loaded with require() in Node.js
One of the reasons why the Node.js ecosystem is so vibrant is the massive number of open source modules available to install from npm. Those modules are all deployed as JavaScript, but they can be written in a variety of languages that can compile to JavaScript, including ActionScript.
Compile with asnodec
Using Apache Royale's asnodec compiler, compile our project into JavaScript that can be run with Node.js.
asnodec -targets=JSNodeModule src/MyModule.as
Use the -targets compiler option to specify that the output should be a module instead of a standalone script.
