flash

Hi Guys,

A local sports clothing company has hired me to make them a flash based jersey colour picker sort of thing. They are wanting it so users can check out what particular designs would look like with certain colours.

Now, I'm by no means a great developer (I'm 16, but I know my way around javascript, flash and a bit of AS2) but I've taken notice of haXe recently and think it might be a good project to write in it and compile to a swf. I'm not sure if I should just use flash, or if I should use haXe.

Is anybody able to iterate on the strengths and weaknesses of using haXe or flash please?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I do have a copy of flash (supplied by school), so that doesn't concern me.
