Interesting article and I have read quite a bit of what you have done
in the past.
I don't know if this is a translation thing but;
"
While I am willing to advise the Open Flex developers, and participate
in discussions (time and other-commitments permitting), I am not
willing to write the new Flex framework for them. I would expect the
Open Flex group to put in the development work for this ? not me.
"
the above paragraph made me feel like I wanted to hit the back button
when I got to it.
BTW, I'm not married to the "Flex legacy" either and I am in this
project because of the ActionScript language. Yes, I have read your
thoughts about that as well.
If your idea of a component framework was embraced by an abstract open
source community, I don't think anybody would expect you to do
anything, it seems like you are offering "consulting" services correct?
If you were honest about adding advice it would be right on this list
like we all do.

Quoting Daniel Freeman <madcompone...@gmail.com>:
I've done some experiments with Stage3D accelerated Flex components,
derived from MadComponents classes.
http://madskool.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/madcomponents3d-part5-stage3d-accelerated-flex/
It is my intention to port MadComponents to AS"next". I propose that these
ported MadComponents/MC3D classes might form the basis of a new Flex mobile
framework that utilises hardware GPU rendering.
I'm aware that Thibault Imbert has proposed that a new Flex framework
should be based on Starling and Feathers. But I believe that the MC3D
approach is better suited to the next Flex mobile framework.
MadComponents is a fully fledged framework, not just a UI framework. It
allows for versatile styling of components (without having to design
texture skins), server communication, and memory management.
However, until we know more about AS"next", which framework approach to
choose is mostly speculation.
So I'd like the members of this group to read my blog post, and let me know
what they think.
