Alright! A real AS3.0 compiler would be great.  Right now Gnash uses
Haxe for testing AVM2, which is OK, but not nearly as good for testing
as a real compiler.  How much progress have you made on the AS3.0
compiler?

Most of the AVM2 work on Gnash is being done in the AVM2 branch.  The
implementation is not really complete at this point, but it can run
some simple swf9 files and print out traces, but no graphics yet.  If
you want you can take a look at the current code here using bzr:
bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnash/avm2
It is currently under heavy development and any advice or suggestions
you might have are always welcome.
