Using Flash Runtime as Platform (similar to JVM / CLR)

Does anyone know whether any compilers exist to produce programs that will run on the Flash runtime from source code other than Flex?

i.e. similar to how Groovy, Scala, etc compilers generate bytecode for the JVM.

You can look at OpenLaszlo, a flex alternative, which compiles down to the flash runtime:

Actionscript is a strict superset of javascript, so that's an obvious one to mention first. So the AS compiler can consume javascript directly.

This provides you with access to such "languages" as jQuery, extJS, etc.

You mean "other than ActionScript 3". Flex is an AS3 framework for building RIAs.

Adobe has a project called Adobe Alchemy which provides tools to compile C/C++ code and run it in the AVM (ActionScript Virtual Machine).

There may be others, but I can't remember off of the top of my head.
