About
Melomel was designed to be lightweight and simple. Only basic object-oriented tasks such as object creation, property mutation and method invocation are allowed.
The implementation of external languages should be done so that the ActionScript objects can be manipulated seamlessly. For example, in the Ruby implementation of Melomel, the method_missing feature is used so that objects in the Flash virtual machine look and feel exactly like Ruby objects
To set a property, you type:
myFlashObj.myProp = 'foo'To call a method, you type:
result = myFlashObj.sum(1, 2)Melomel is not a data transport protocol. Primitive data types are passed back and forth but objects are sent as references. The objects only exist within the Flash virtual machine and only a pointer is sent to the external language to reference it. This makes it so that there are no syncing issues between the external language and the Flash virtual machine.
Melomel follows the rules of Semantic Versioning and uses asdoc for inline documentation.
