ActionScript is a language. It is really only the dozen classes or so in the
“top-level” in the ASDoc. String, int, RegEx, Array
for the end of term.
It's a great thing that Adobe have continued to keep you involved with
the project.

Things get lost in translation, but one goal of the parallel
frameworks is to not leverage things that get lost in translation.
Otherwise, since JS and AS are ECMA-based, the translation works
pretty well.

Adobe’s focus for FlashBuilder is on building ActionScript gaming and
premium video projects that run on the Flash player.
I think many people assumed that the driver was legacy in-browser flex
apps, plus AIR apps for mobile devices. That the older, legacy support had
been farmed out to

Hello
I recently found an interesting product : http://cappuccino.org which
seems to be technically a good alternative for flex (if needed). I have
not investigated at all, just had a look.
Of course, if even Adobe's flex is not reliable from the perennity point
of view, there is no reason why

I'll use what I've always used. Visual SlickEdit and Apache ant. And from what
I've heard, FlashDevelop (http://www.flashdevelop.org), which is mature,
robust, free and open source, is also pretty good.

I have said this before, look at google closure. you code in javascript,
annotate your types a compiler which gives you real errors, it has a

it is really really good.

Michael,
In my deliberations as to whether to stick with Flex or not, I weighed the
likelihood of a successful open-source Flex community. And, I must say I am
not as hopeful as you.
The fact that there is this discussion at all tells me something is up. I've
been burned by Adobe before as an Authorware user, and again now as a Flash /
Flex user, and that's twice too many times for this little black duck.

You bring up some good points. I have been on a few calls between our company
and with Adobe on this exact subject right after the announcements were made.
We grilled them with questions, and though I won't fully disclose many of their
answers here, our development teams were confident enough
I very much enjoyed my time as a Flex developer, and wish the Apache
project well. Some of the criticism of Adobe seems misplaced. The writing
was on the wall when the most popular mobile platform (iOS) didn't allow
browser plug-ins. I'm not painting Apple as a villain either. It's just
business.
I meant to say prospect of a cross-platform mobile app framework that
doesn't depend on a proprietary runtime

I can’t think of anything the FlashPlayer could unload from its footprint that
wouldn’t just “break the web” for lots of other non-Flex swfs. Adobe has no
interest in “breaking the web” and thus it will continue to invest in not doing
so.

I’ve never used COBOL, but I haven’t heard anyone say they really liked working

it always remains locked to ActionScript and FlashPlayer, it may not be the

Flex and FlashBuilder are not part of Adobe’s HTML strategy per-se.
FlashBuilder is being directed towards Gaming in Flash, Flex is being donated
to the community. It is the community that has lots of investment in the
