Hopefully I've not killed this thread or something.

Now, what are the capabilities of making a more module-based games with haxe?
Like, more specifically, loading codebases and files quite possibly from other compiled projects.

I have been talking with my friend Josh about the possibility of us just porting Crystalien Conflict., maybe even breaking free of Flash in any shape or form.

Now, I would guess when compiling an .swf, I can easily do different component/module .swf's and external assets (which is really what we want, flexibility, not re-programming/re-compiling the entire game just to add a new unit or level)

But, let's say I 'compiled'/exported to html5. Is there any way to compile the game and then embed or install other scripts, or throw other assets in the assets folder and be able to use those? (Without doing some really ugly hacks to the 'compiled' .js file. I observed that the asset library is still ultimately hard-coded into the .js file)

I'm currently messing with and learning how to use openfl and spritesheet.

I wouldn't expect an html5 version to be mod-friendly, anyways, but I would expect to easily add new assets and configs (like stat sets) WITHOUT having to re-export the entire thing. I do know that if I were to do this entirely from scratch, I could, and in fact, my game library already has that capability, I'm just not exploiting it.\

Hopefully my question makes sense?

I'm gonna take a shower, and then I'm gonna try to get to sleep.
