Recently, I came across the AS3 to JS compiler known as Jangaroo. It caught my attention because it seems like a valuable tool that aligns well with my preferences in AS3.
Haxe
Exploring Haxe:
Haxe (pronounced as hex) stands as an open source programming language.
Unlike other languages tied to specific platforms (Java to the JVM, C# to .Net, ActionScript to the Flash Player), Haxe emerges as a versatile multiplatform language.
This means that with Haxe you can target various platforms :
Javascript : Compile Haxe programs into a single .js file, accessing typed browser DOM APIs with autocompletion support, and resolving all dependencies at compilation time.
Flash : Compile Haxe programs into a .swf file for Flash Players 6 to 10, supporting both "old" Flash<8 API or newest AS3/Flash9+ API, delivering high performance and cutting-edge features for Flash content development.
NekoVM : Transform Haxe programs into NekoVM bytecode, perfect for server-side programming like dynamic webpages (using mod_neko for Apache), commandline, desktop applications, embedding and extending the NekoVM with additional DLLs.
PHP : Compile Haxe programs into .php files, allowing you to utilize a sophisticated strictly-typed language like Haxe while maintaining full compatibility with your existing server platform and libraries.
C++ : Generate C++ code from Haxe source code including necessary Makefiles, ideal for developing native applications such as in iPhone development.
You may also find interest in: Haxer, a Java project designed to aid in converting AS3 code to Haxe code. While not fully finished, it provides a solid foundation for code conversion.
Tadster created a clever solution for converting AS3 to JavaScript with his com.actiontadJS.converter package.
It does require a strong understanding of AS3 to use effectively.
The package has been around for some time and functions well, generating object-oriented JavaScript code. However, it does not handle imports or inheritance conversion. Despite this limitation, it simplifies the process of writing OOP JavaScript by allowing users to write JavaScript Classes in AS3 first.

From my perspective, TypeScript bears a striking resemblance to AS3 in terms of language structure and is currently gaining momentum. It seems unlikely that it will be disregarded any time soon. I recommend giving it a shot.
