AS3 was very powerful in terms of prototyping games and sound design. A long time ago I worked on lots of "music games" that combined game mechanics (like top down space shooters or "flappy bird" style stuff) with synthesizer code that made music.

I have no idea how to go about recreating my projects today in JS at all...

As an old AS3 hand, if I were going to do it now I'd go with HaXe and OpenFL, building the asset files with whatever the last existing version of Flash was. I've been meaning to try this route but I've been feeling too defeated for the last few years to work on anything creative in this vein again.
