In my tour through Falcon to get BasicTests to run, I saw there were several things that MXMLC could do that were un-implemented. OTOH the list was:
-Function data-binding -XML data-binding -Repeaters There may be more. I got enough of function data-binding to work to get BasicTests to run, but it won't work in the general case yet. But I think it should be somewhat straightforward to do. I haven't looked into getting XML data-binding to work. I do know that XML data-binding is very Flash-specific. Flash XML nodes support some sort of change notification. I don't see any way for us to support this in FlexJS, so for FlexJS, I'm thinking we'll simply say you can't use XML data-binding and maybe add a compiler option to warn where you use it. Repeaters generate some pretty complicated code, IIRC. I think Adobe would have deprecated it if we could. So the question is: Can we make Falcon releases without full implementation of these features? Can we get away with never supporting Repeater? -Alex
