Why nme and haxe is assume
1. Actionscript is lot alike Java+Javascript therefore if know these
languages then you can pick it very easily and more importantly    there
are lot of resources available for it ( I struggle a lot with MOAI ).
2. NME api are lot similar to actionscript API to such extent that I am
able to use same actionscript code for it with some minor changes.
3. Build process is very very simple. Even a 10 year old child can build
for multiple platform very easily with sdk and path set.
