Since you mentioned you don't know much about Flash yet:
>From your usage of flasm I take it that you're targeting the old VM,
so just to make sure you know, there has been a new one introduced in
Flashplayer 9. Adobe donated it to Mozilla, the Tamarin project [1].

There's Adobe's AS3 compiler (which will be Open Source as part of the
Flex 3 SDK [2]), haXe [3] of course, and it seems like we'll be
getting IronRuby and IronPython soon, too [4].
Opcodes are supported by hxASM [5] and Swfmill (on svn [6]).

HTH,
Mark
