For me the question is 'why do you'd like to proscribe flashplayer or AIR'. If it's only because of the 'You have to change to HTML5 these days'-feeling I'd say: Update to 4.15.0 and stick with our most efficient Flex as long as you can or it makes sense to you. Maybe I'm naive but I still cannot recognise that flashplayer will disappear soon and if so... there's still AIR. (Of course that said makes only sense if you be able to make sure that your users have installed flashplayer or AIR) Flashplayer will disappear one day and you have to prepare yourself and your apps. But this fact applies to all technologies. I end up to stricktly separate the business logic from the UI and implement the business logic by using pure AS3 without any dependencies on flash or flex. Going this way I'm hopefull to have a fair chance to port my apps to FlexJS or any other technology if it's needed. But don't understand me wrong, of course it is crucial for us developers to always keep an eye of upcomig technologies and get familar with it. With FlexJS you get the chance to benefit from your Flex/AS3 skills and also get in touch with JS/HTML5. You could go the Flex way using the FlexJS framework or you could use AS3 with HTML which is described here [1]. >Communication with the backend is still done via BlazeDS? AFAIK AMF is currently not supported by FlexJS but some guys will try to implement it. I prefer using REST with JSON. >Our users are accustomed to Windows Mdi type container styles and for this we use the FlexLib. >The utilization of this library is accepted in FlexJs? I think you have to port it to FlexJS which might be not trivial. BTW: Do you know the Ardisia Flex component lib?

I notice that a lot of developers have much fun with it, so give it a try! For AS3 Josh Tynjala has developed a Visual Studio Code extension, might be also interesting!
