Same as MTASC. There are a few incompatibilites, most of them in order 
to improve code quality. If you find others, you might fill some bug and 
it will be fixed.

FYI, haXe has privates classes, and they work like a charm for Flash9 as 
well.

Ok, that's fine with me this way. Next time instead of saying that you 
don't like the language because it doesn't have a specification, please 
explain which aspect of the haXe features you don't like and how you 
would suggest improving it.
