A re-write of the framework that does not leverage the innovations in Flash Player and AIR meant to enhance performance on devices (especially IOS devices), will IMHO, be probably a waste of effort. Interesting you mentioned education. I know of at least one company in the education space, that has turned to native IOS apps (hugely expensive), even though they have a huge code base of Flex and Flash based apps. Main reason was unacceptable performance when using Flex apps converted to AIR on IOS app.
A rewrite of Flex leveraging Stage3D, if that proves to be as good as native apps performance-wise, I can see how such decisions could be re-thought. -superabe On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 12:31 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > This is all true, and a re-write of the framework may not target this > scenario in the first go, but on the other hand, a re-write of the > framework > may make its renderering on the displaylist acceptable, and then you will > have the ability to sell it into places where the new players will not > penetrate right away (education, for example). > > > On 10/22/12 4:41 AM, "Michael Schmalle" <apa...@teotigraphix.com> wrote: > > > I'm working on an audio framework that is Android native based where I > > call OSC string messages through a AIR native extension. > > > > Having a high performance ui framework based on the stage3D API is > > exactly what I am looking for.
