Hi Folks, I've been making progress on migrating Tour De Flex. The latest JS debug version is here: http://apacheroyaleci.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/job/TourDeFlexMigration/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/examples/mxroyale/tourdeflexmodules/bin/js-debug/index.html
You can compare it to the Tour De Flex on the Apache Flex site: http://flex.apache.org/tourdeflex/index.html It is not a goal to achieve pixel-for-pixel replication of Tour De Flex, and we may never quite get there. The way fonts are rendered in the SWF version may be specific to Flash. But I think you can see that it is a reasonable replication of the app. I'm on vacation for a week then I will be continuing the migration, adding more of the examples. It would be great to have others help out. There have been very few changes to the original source code. Almost all of the work has been in the framework, emulation components and compiler. One thing to note in the JS version. I commented out the Copy and Copy Link buttons because they really aren't needed in the JS version. You can just select the text you want and use the browser menus to copy the source code. That's something you could not do in the SWF version.

It occurred to me that a more complex use case would be helpful, so I decided to try migrating the Tour De Flex application. The released Tour De Flex uses SWFLoader and sub-applications which are not used in the two API Reports we've received, so I made a copy of Tour De Flex and replaced SWFLoader and sub-Applications with ModuleLoader and Modules. The working Flex version (built by the Flex SDK) is in the flex-examples repo. I took that code and copied it into the feature/MXRoyale branch. It exposed several compiler issues which I've fixed, and some missing APIs and other minor cleanup which I've just pushed to that branch. But now, the main shell (3 MXML files) and the Welcome example compile. Next step is to get them to run, then start working on other examples. Volunteers would be helpful to try to provide better written documentation of the steps I've taken in the migration. If you run "git log -- examples/mxroyale/tourdeflexmodules" you will see the changes I've had to make to the app (and skip changes to the framework). I've tried to leave useful comments on those commits. It would save me much time if someone would try to turn that into written doc so I can focus on getting the code to actually run. And later, to look reasonable. Other volunteers would be helpful to try to migrate other examples in Tour De Flex and get them to run. Because Tour De Flex doesn't really use any 3rd party libraries, I was able to get the first four MXML files to compile cleanly in relatively few commits and if it weren't for me having to stop and fix compiler and framework issues, that milestone would have been reached in a matter of an hour or two. Anyway, please help if you can. Later, -Alex
