Two weeks is pretty short given where we are now, depending on what they are
looking for to convince them to fund migrating to Royale.
What is the total time they expect to have a working app without Flex? If you
port your Flex app to some other JS framework, that could take several
person-years. So saying 2 weeks is not wise, IMO. The reason folks should
choose migrating with Royale instead of porting to some other JS framework is
because AS and MXML are structured, and giving up on that and porting all of
that code to unstructured source is like building a large building without any
forms or braces that enforce structure. More mistakes will be made, and many
will be hard to find and some will have a huge impact. By investing in Royale,
your company gets to leverage the same structured source code it has been
using. They get additional engineering talent by leveraging the other
committers and contributors on this project. IOW, if you need some Flex API
emulated, someone other than you in the Royale community might already be
working on it. By migrating to some other JS framework, you have to replace or
emulate that API yourself.
If you have a dialog box or some UI that contains only DG, List, TextInput,
Button, ComboBox, RadioButton, CheckBox, we should be able to make that appear
on screen in two weeks, but it may not look that nice. So it depends a bit on
whether your management wants to see if Royale is ready now, or has a chance of
being ready sooner than going to some other JS framework.

The management has asked me to do a POC and demo it to them before they can
fund the migration project. Can I just convert couple of screens in the
existing Flex web app to Apache Royale JS? Do you think it is doable in 2
weeks? What are the step that I should take to make this happen? Please
share your thoughts. This is going to be the critical 2 weeks for this
migration project.
Thank you
