I don't think ActionScript <> JavaScript is as important here as everything else about Haxe (full / safer static types, speed, multi-backend, pattern matching, etc.) and Typescript (gradual typing to support idiomatic JS code at the cost of being unsound by design).

If you applied Typescript's philosophy and design to AS instead of JS, you'd get something much closer to Typescript than to Haxe, is what I'm saying.
