Still, now i have an excuse to take a second look. :) Many thanks for the suggestions, Nicholas! :)

The 115 Array Size is entirely arbitrary, it's just a temporary bugfix for a current Neko compiler issue that will be addressed in next version. 31 bit integers are part of the Neko specification (see <a href="http://nekovm.org)." rel="nofollow">http://nekovm.org).</a> It's true that there is no crossplatform Int32 API right now, but that can easily be defined in haXe using inline methods. For imports, you can do the following

// Common.hx

#if flash9
typedef Bitmap = flash.display.Bitmap;
typedef BitmapData = flash.display.BitmapData;
….
#else neko
typedef Bitmap = noflash.Bitmap;
typedef BitmapData = flash.display.BitmapData;
…
#end

Then from your code you only need to “import Common”.
