Sure, I understand that, but in my world, elearning, I don’t have resources to develop more than one codebase, and I cannot have a strategy that doesn’t embrace the iPad, so HTML5 and JS is the answer.
It’s a great shame as I miss a proper OO language, and really liked working with Flex but it simply does not fly for us. I’m also very leery about getting caught in proprietary formats as an ex-authorware developer, and dependent on proprietary technology (i.e. the flash player) is a risk I no longer want to take.

Obviously different approaches for mobile development (gaming or non) which are better but as far as the desktop goes Flex is still "the solution of choice" for my needs. Yeah, obviously the lists died and we are never going to see Flash adopted on mobile devices or tablets through the player, but there is still definitely a niche for Flex and native applications developed in it.

Is didn’t, and the flash and flex lists died. Just my experience. Now we have browser automagically preventing flash, facebook asking for it to be removed etc etc. Most people have moved away from it.

I have an iOS Flex app in the Apple App Store. And the Flash player is probably still installed in about 97% of desktop browsers. ________________________________ From: "Julian Tenney julian.ten...@nottingham.ac.uk<mailto:julian.ten...@nottingham.ac.uk> [flexcoders]" <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com>> To: "flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com>" <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com>> Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 9:33 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: uploading files in flex using coldfusion 11 One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen is the speed with which all the flash and flex developers abandoned the tools once it was clear that Apple had won the battle of the Flash player.
