  But they dont seem to match up.  Can you please respond with how

  There are two possible answers to this question.  One is for the
  question:
  what would the generated AS for the MXML file look like?   It
 would look
  somewhat like the FlexJSTest.as that you found, but it is a bit
  different
  because when I finally got the compiler working it was easier to
 change
  some
  of the 'generated' code a bit.  If you are really interested, I
 will
  try to
  hand-code it.
 
 
  This would be good.  I played my hand around hand-coding based on
 this
  wiki
  note [1]
  But I would rather see your version.
  I'm not sure why you want to be hand-coding AS versions of MXML
 files.
 
 
 
  The other answer is for the question: How would you write this app
 in
  ActionScript?  If I were to do it, it would not use the data array
 at
  all,
  it would call new Button and new Label and set properties and add
 event
  handlers.

  I am curious how this would work behind the scenes.  But I am not
 in a
  hurry to look at the implementation details.
 
  A couple other questions while I have your attention:
 
  Will the FlexJSTest_again app compile with the current mxmlc?  I
 saw your
  note in the wiki that says that it wont.  Is there any way to make
 it
  work?
  The status page supercedes the original wiki page.
  FalconJS converts FlexJSTest.mxml to FlexJSTest.js.  Falcon
 (assuming you
  set the mxml.children-as-data flag) will convert FlexJSTest.mxml to a
  running SWF.
 
  I have hooked up the falcon compiler to my flash builder (4.6) as an
  external run tool.  The app compiles fine, but the IDE keeps showing
  errors.  Any way I can jerry rig Flash Builder to use the Falcon
 mxmlc?
  I haven't tried.  I assume you can swap out the original MXMLC
 compiler for
  the Falcon JARs.
 
 
  I do have Flash Builder 4.7 installed.  I am willing to switch if
 that
  would make this process any simpler.
 
  Sorry for so many

[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33367) flash.display.Loader intermitently causing children of loaded swf to loose type

Tim Leslie commented on FLEX-33367:

Hi Alex,

I'm afraid that's not the issue. They're all single frame movieclips and it's
been reproduced by someone else on Stack Overflow without sharing my FLA. The
weirdest thing is it only seems to happen over a network. I'm pretty sure this
is a genuine bug. Where is the correct place to post it?

Cheers,
Tim

flash.display.Loader intermitently causing children of loaded swf to loose
type
---

Key: FLEX-33367
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33367
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: .Unspecified - Framework
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
Environment: Seen on windows, mac and linux, various OS.
Reporter: Tim Leslie
Labels: loader

Have a look at this stack overflow for a complete explaination and
instruction on how to reproduce:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14464898/flash-display-loader-intermitently-causing-children-of-loaded-swf-to-loose-type
When two movieclips are loaded into an application using a
flash.display.Loader and Event.COMPLETE is dispatched from both loaders on
different frames, some instances in the first movieclip to be loaded loose
their type when the second movieclip becomes available. For example, a
recursive search for all decendents of type MC_Circle fails when normally it
works. I have been recomended to report this issue by users of Stack Overflow
who were able to reproduce it. I'm not sure of the full list of affected SDKs
or Flash Player versions but I have been using 4.6. I have only tried hosting
the swfs to be loaded on linux machine though the problem is reproducing with
the loader swf on various OS. It's possible the problem only occurs when
loading over a network.

Re: A code name for Apache Flex 5?

2013-01-29 Thread Igor Costa

I think Frederic as a most comon sense for Apache Flex.

Apache foundation doesn't have internal moves for codenames like we had
previous at inc. company.

This isn't the right spot to start working a major release with flag Apache
Flex 5

We need to focus on the following things before:


   - Fix the current open-bugs
   - Adapt the Falcon to the SDK
   - Integrate other dependencies from Adobe donations like Squiggly and
   TLF.


Than on the begin release of Apache Flex 5 we can add the support of output
for HTML/JS.

 So it seems the  GzipCompressorInputStream is not available in the 
 flex-sdk-generator-1.0.jar.
 That's easily overcome by using the maven shade plugin.
 The problem occurs when running any command using the flex-sdk-generator jar, 
 and is caused by the mavenizer.jar not including the 
 org.apache.commons.compress dependency - you can test this, by opening up the 
 flex-sdk-generator.jar and see there are no classes from the 
 org.apache.commons.compress dependency.
 The maven shade plugin ensures dependencie's classes are packaged in final 
 flex-sdk-generator.jar.
 - or maybe you could use the standard integrated java zip api's:
 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/zip/package-summary.html

Re: [ASJS] debugging output JS?

  We have 2 camps now, performance vs debugging features.
 

 I believe you are incorrect. The debugging features are only relevant when
 compiling in debug mode.
 Every camp here agrees that release mode should output the most optimized
 JS possible.


Totally agree with Alex and Roland.
Daniel, did you have a look at Erik's demo?
http://people.apache.org/~erikdebruin/vanillasdk/
It is not a performance demo, but what you can see is that, from the same
AS sources, the compiler produces a debuggable version (intermediate JS
version) and a minified version (release JS version) which packs the
whole application into merely 11.5 kb. While this is only a small demo
application, it shows that there is no bloat or large overhead. So the
solution to first create debuggable code, then minify for production, seems
to work well.
We'll do performance tests later, when we have a larger example working.

AW: A code name for Apache Flex 5?

2013-01-29 Thread christofer.d...@c-ware.de

I wouldn't recommend using the name Excalibur as I remember Apache Cocoon and 
quite a lot of other projects used to use the IoC Container Excalibur, which 
seems to be a retired Apache project ... and whenever I think of Excalibur in 
the context of IT-Stuff, the second thought thank god we don't have to use 
that anymore :-)

Just my 50tc ;-)

Re: [ASJS] debugging output JS?

To give an impression of how you could switch between different debug
levels and also to see how the AMD approach compares to the goog
approach, I re-compiled Erik's VanillaSDK demo with Jangaroo 3 to
AMD-style JavaScript output. This is the output format Mike Schmalle will
be implementing as an alternative emitter for FalconJx. (Sorry I had to use
Jangaroo to build this demo now; Mike is working hard on the FalconJx AMD
emitter and eventually, the result will be much better than Jangaroo, since
Falcon is the better AS3 compiler.)

Here is the result:
http://www.jangaron.net/vanilla-sdk-poc/

In total, there are four variants.
The first and last version correspond to Erik's intermediate JS and
release JS versions.
To show the full bandwidth of debug levels, I added linked and linked
and minified ... (bootstrapped). The former is a build where all AMD
modules are merged into a single file, but not minified. The latter is a
build where all AMD modules are merged and minified, but this one file is
still loaded via RequireJS. So if you really want only one big JS file
loaded with one request, you have to use the release JS version.

The resulting release version (9.5 kb) is quite similar in size to the
goog version (11.5 kb), although it has only been minified with
SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS, while the goog version uses ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS.
I think this underpins my point that starting from standard JavaScript code
respecting rules like avoid accessing global variables, you can do
without Google Closure Compiler's ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS. But of course, we
need a larger example before I'd dare to generalize this conclusion.

All three debuggable versions actually load the same HTML page
debug.html, the difference is coded into the URL hash joo.debug and
evaluated by the bootstrap script new.js:

   - #joo.debug=true or #joo.debug -- load each class by a single request,
   so that you can easily find them in any (good) JavaScript debugger. Each
   file contains full white-space, comments, and non-minified JavaScript code.
   - #joo.debug=linked -- load all classes by one single request, but still
   with full white-space, comments, and non-minified.
   - #joo.debug=false or no hash -- load all classes by one single request,
   minified.

All corresponding artifacts are automatically created as part of the build
process. Of course, you can choose to only build the ones you actually need.

*Source Maps*

For the #joo.debug=true
versionhttp://www.jangaron.net/vanilla-sdk-poc/debug.html#joo.debug,
Jangaroo's experimental JavaScript source map support has been used. As far
as I know, the only browser that currently supports source maps is Chrome.
So if you want to see it in action, please use Chrome. And you might have
to enable it first:

   1. In the developer tools (F12), click on the button with the gear icon
   on the bottom right
   2. In the settings dialog that appears, set the check mark in section
   *Sources*, labelled Enable source maps
   3. Reload the page

Now, in the Sources tab, when you open the navigator (arrow button top
left), you'll find an *.as file next to each *.js file that has been
generated from AS.
Try and set a breakpoint e.g. in Example.as, line 66, inside the first
click handler method. Then click on the demo button labelled Click me.
The debugger should stop at your breakpoint and show the corresponding Call
Stack, Scope Variables, and so on. You can now step through your
ActionScript code, and the corresponding JavaScript code gets executed.
Magic, isn't it? And it can be done for FalconJx, too!

The vision is to combine the minified or at least the linked version with
source maps, so that actually only one JS file is loaded, but is appears in
the debugger as many AS files. To achieve this, we will have to combine the
source map generated by our compiler and the source map generated by the JS
minifier into a direct mapping. Using the source maps API that GCC
provides, this should be quite straight-forward.

Have fun!

Re: ASJS question - MXML vs. AS

Not really, mostly just to see what happens if you use widgets that are not
based on UIBase.  As of right now, buttons are based on SimpleButton to save
writing a bunch of code and are not a UIBase, but yesterday I started
leaning towards making an IUIBase and making Button implement that.  Feel
free to make that change if it is getting in your way.

 But they dont seem to match up.  Can you please respond with how

 There are two possible answers to this question.  One is for the
 question:
 what would the generated AS for the MXML file look like?   It
 would look
 somewhat like the FlexJSTest.as that you found, but it is a bit
 different
 because when I finally got the compiler working it was easier to
 change
 some
 of the 'generated' code a bit.  If you are really interested, I
 will
 try to
 hand-code it.
 
 
 This would be good.  I played my hand around hand-coding based on
 this
 wiki
 note [1]
 But I would rather see your version.
 I'm not sure why you want to be hand-coding AS versions of MXML
 files.
 
 
 
 The other answer is for the question: How would you write this app
 in
 ActionScript?  If I were to do it, it would not use the data array
 at
 all,
 it would call new Button and new Label and set properties and add
 event
 handlers.
 
 --
 
 
 I am curious how this would work behind the scenes.  But I am not
 in a
 hurry to look at the implementation details.
 
 A couple other questions while I have your attention:
 
 Will the FlexJSTest_again app compile with the current mxmlc?  I
 saw your
 note in the wiki that says that it wont.  Is there any way to make
 it
 work?
 The status page supercedes the original wiki page.
 FalconJS converts FlexJSTest.mxml to FlexJSTest.js.  Falcon
 (assuming you
 set the mxml.children-as-data flag) will convert FlexJSTest.mxml to a
 running SWF.
 
 I have hooked up the falcon compiler to my flash builder (4.6) as an
 external run tool.  The app compiles fine, but the IDE keeps showing
 errors.

 Project: Apache Flex
  Issue Type: Bug
  Components: .Unspecified - Framework
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
 Environment: Seen on windows, mac and linux, various OS.
Reporter: Tim Leslie
  Labels: loader

 Have a look at this stack overflow for a complete explaination and 
 instruction on how to reproduce: 
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14464898/flash-display-loader-intermitently-causing-children-of-loaded-swf-to-loose-type
 When two movieclips are loaded into an application using a 
 flash.display.Loader and Event.COMPLETE is dispatched from both loaders on 
 different frames, some instances in the first movieclip to be loaded loose 
 their type when the second movieclip becomes available. For example, a 
 recursive search for all decendents of type MC_Circle fails when normally it 
 works. I have been recomended to report this issue by users of Stack Overflow 
 who were able to reproduce it. I'm not sure of the full list of affected SDKs 
 or Flash Player versions but I have been using 4.6. I have only tried hosting 
 the swfs to be loaded on linux machine though the problem is reproducing with 
 the loader swf on various OS. It's possible the problem only occurs when 
 loading over a network.

Re: Should the compiler also fix up the HTML wrapper?

2013-01-29 Thread Erik de Bruin

I agree that building everything in one command should be the goal. I
do not think that HTML should be part of the compiler. Isn't there a
way to wrap both the compile step and the HTML generation into one
script, like I did in ant with the publisher, but maybe in an extended
version of MXMLC?

 Any objections to adding a feature to Falcon/FalconJS/FalconJX to take 
 additional arguments and fix up the HTML wrapper (or –app.xml for AIR)?  I 
 know compilers really should just compile, but the compiler knows much of the 
 information that needs to be substituted into those files.

 For Falcon, I would add an option like –html.template=path to html template 
 and –air.template=path to –app.xml template

 FalconJS/FalconJX would also support –js.source-path=path to more JS source 
 to point to the framework (and goog if we use that) files.

  what would the generated AS for the MXML file look like?   It

  The other answer is for the question: How would you write this

I was unable to follow that thread.   I don't think we have three compilers

 It seems you needed to make changes to VanillaSDK to make it work with
 Jangaroo. What alternative for the 'goog' UI framework will you be
 using on the AMD side?


The only change to VanillaSDK is that I removed the dependency on the goog
library. I didn't need to make that change to make it work with Jangaroo,
it just didn't seem to make much sense to remove goog for the class setup,
but keep it just to create a DOM element and attach an event listener
(VanillaJS can do that quite well). And since your prototype didn't work in
IE8 (mode) anyway, nothing was lost.

As discussed in the thread [ASJS] Integration with existing JS libraries
and components, the AMD solution integrates well with *any* JavaScript
library. So if you wanted to use AMD plus goog UI, that would be possible,
too. The other thread contains some details on what possibilities you have
to shim an existing library that does not natively support AMD, and
discusses proposals for a [Native] annotation. I also mentioned on that
thread that we (= CoreMedia) use Ext JS as the UI component library (and
DOM abstraction). It is possible to instantiate Ext JS components (or any
other Ext JS objects) from ActionScript and MXML, as well as to subclass
existing components. You virtually do not notice that Ext's components are
implemented in JavaScript, not in ActionScript.

One thing I asked myself when I looked at your VanillaSDK code is why you
checked in the JavaScript code of the framework classes (everything but
Example.as). Aren't they written in AS3 and cross-compiled, too? At least
that's how I thought you'd do it, even if this code is never compiled to
run in the FlashPlayer or AIR. Take into account that you are intending to
implement a complete UI component framework, you wouldn't want to do that
in JavaScript directly, would you?

No, I don't. I will use the Closure Library on the JS side. I am not
even going to implement a framework on the AS side. I use the Flex
SDK. The VanillaSDK JS framework is just a very thin wrapper around
these frameworks. It have the same API on the JS side as on the AS
side: the only thing I need to compile to JS is the project AS and
MXML. All development takes place on the AS/MXML side (e.g. in Flash
Builder), no need for current Flex developers to learn anything new.
JS is a release format, for when your project is ready to be deployed.
The idea is: low learning curve, easy acceptance, high impact, good
marketability.

If you accept that developers will be using Apache Flex to develop

[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33371) On Android, changing orientation fires Event.DEACTIVATE and FlexEvent.VIEW_DEACTIVATE events

Erik,

I dont have my USB cable with me, so I am not able to test your project. Have
you tried listening to Event.EXITING and Event.DEACTIVATE events thrown by
NativeApplication.nativeApplication to do your cleanup? That way, you can
bypass the spurious viewDeactivate events by not listening to them. The docs
[1] seems to suggest that this is the correct way.

I apologize if this is not related to your problem. I will get a chance to
look at this later tonight if you havent solved your issue by then.

Thanks,

On Android, changing orientation fires Event.DEACTIVATE and
FlexEvent.VIEW_DEACTIVATE events

Key: FLEX-33371
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33371
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Mobile: MobileApplication
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
Environment: Samsung Galaxy Express and Galaxy S III Android Phones,
FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium on Windows 7, debugging through USB as well as
deployed release builds, iPhone and iPad, but the problem doesn't exist on
iOS devices, only Android
Reporter: Erik Thomas
Priority: Critical
Fix For: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)

Attachments: AndroidDeactivateOnOrientationChangeDefect.zip

Orientation changes on Android devices always fire the following events in
this order:
ViewNavigatorEvent.VIEW_DEACTIVATE
Event.DEACTIVATE
StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE
The first two events are a defect. They must not fire simply because the user
changed the orientation of the phone.
The result of this defect is that we cannot do two very important things:
1. Use view state changes to hide/show layouts, using includeIn property on
containers and components. On Android, components that are not included for a
given state are destroyed yet they have state we want to maintain which is
why we don't change Views.
2. We cannot know when the user navigates away from our application, for
example to press the Home key. We have certain cleanup we must do in our
complex connected app that streams FMS data, etc., and cannot keep sockets
open for hours or days.
On iOS, this is not a problem. Only Android has this bug and it's blocking us
from releasing our product on Android. iOS does not have this defect.

Re: Performance expectations for Flex JS

2013-01-29 Thread Erik de Bruin

 How would AS3 and JS versions of a typical app perform? If the AS3 version
 is running 100% at 30fps, could the JS version keep up? Or do you expect the
 JS version to out-perform?

 I guess its too early to answer these questions with any degree of
 certainty, but what are the expectations?

I think the current state of JS VMs will ensure at least comparable performance.

Hi OmPrakash:

The NativeApplication DEACTIVATE event also fires on orientation change events.

Event.DEACTIVATE event was fired!
NativeApplication.Event.DEACTIVATE event was fired!
StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE event was fired!

Also, NativeApplication.EXITING never fires when the user presses the Home
button or switches applications. This event seems useless and never fires for
any reason.

Thanks for taking a look!

BTW, I plan to look into joining as a contributor after my current contract is
finished, but I don't have time to do that now or I might look into this issue.

Erik Thomas commented on FLEX-33371:

Hi OmPrakash:

This is almost a perfect workaround. Unfortunately, listening for the
NativeApplication.DEACTIVATE event to unload is not reliable. It seems to fire
randomly and not related to orientation changes. I've only tried a couple
times, but as I work through my app workflows, everything is working great on
Android now, just like iOS, but something is triggering the DEACTIVATE event
during a workflow and the app is unloading because I'm calling exit().

So I'm not out of the woods yet, but this is a huge improvement.

Flash Platform Whitepaper

Hi Folks,

Adobe published an update to the Flash Platform Whitepaper today.  Most of
it doesn¹t directly affect us, but one item does: Adobe has decided to focus
its future runtime development on top of the existing architecture, as
opposed to a completely new architecture (Flash ³Next²) and language
(ActionScript ³Next²).  So Apache Flex doesn¹t have to worry about porting
to a new VM/language.  That should save us lots of time and distraction.

TextInput
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
Environment: Windows 8 Metro
Internet Explorer (IE) 10.0.1
Flash Player 11,3,378,5
Reporter: Stepan Hilbert

On-screen touch keyboard is not being displayed for spark text input
components. It should get displayed just as it gets displayed for TextField
based components.
Additionally, it would be desirable to control the keyboard using:
- needsSoftKeyboard property
- requestSoftKeyboard() function
These currently have no effect.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Flex application that features s:TextInput and mx:TextInput
2. Open this application in the Metro Internet Explorer on a touch-enabled
Windows 8 PC/Tablet. You might need to edit the DebugDomain variable (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
3. Tap the mx:TextInput - on-screen keyboard shows
4. Tap the s:TextInput - on-screen keyboard doesn't show
Note:
This bug has been discussed on the web
(i.e. here:

Actually, I see what is going on. I noticed a picture of Ryan Stewart on the

[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33372) Windows 8 on-screen touch keyboard not displaying

2013-01-29 Thread Stepan Hilbert (JIRA)

]

Stepan Hilbert commented on FLEX-33372:

Hi Alex,
Thanks for looking into this.
I cannot try 11.5 or 11.6 beta as they refuse to install on Windows 8 (I think
they're not compatible). I have tried 11,3,378,5 debugger - same behavior as
the non-debug version.

Windows 8 on-screen touch keyboard not displaying
-

Key: FLEX-33372
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33372
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Spark: RichEditableText, Spark: TextArea, Spark:
TextInput
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release), Apache Flex 4.9.0
Environment: Windows 8 Metro
Internet Explorer (IE) 10.0.1
Flash Player 11,3,378,5
Reporter: Stepan Hilbert

On-screen touch keyboard is not being displayed for spark RichEditableText
based text input components. It does get displayed when displayAsPassword
property is set to true. It does get displayed for TextField based components.
Additionally, it would be desirable to control the keyboard using:
- needsSoftKeyboard property
- requestSoftKeyboard() function
These currently have no effect.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Flex application that features s:TextInput, s:TextInput with
displayAsPassword=true and mx:TextInput
mx:TextInput text=mx:TextInput /
s:TextInput text=s:TextInput /
s:TextInput text=s:TextInput password displayAsPassword=true /
2. Open this application in the Metro Internet Explorer on a touch-enabled
Windows 8 PC/Tablet. You might need to edit the DebugDomain variable (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
3. Tap the mx:TextInput - on-screen keyboard shows
4. Tap the s:TextInput with displayAsPassword=true - on-screen keyboard
shows
5. Tap the s:TextInput - on-screen keyboard doesn't show
Note:
This bug has been discussed on the web
(i.e. here:
http://flexcoders.10928.n7.nabble.com/windows-8-store-app-onscreen-keyboard-invoking-td111950.html)
but no resolution has been reached, so that is why I'm logging this issue.

Re: [ASJS] VanillaSDK as part of the SDK

2013-01-29 Thread Avi Kessner

Something isn't clear to me.

Are you proposing that the AS3 code for Flex contains 3 groups of
components?  (mx or it's equivilent, spark, and goog)
Or are you proposing that there are 2 groups of AS3 components, mx and
spark, and one set of JS components (goog) which have different levels
of compatibility with the first 2 groups?

 Hi,

 One of the goals behind the vanilla SDK is to create a JS compatible
 framework that closely resembles the Flex SDK. The idea is that the
 coding and workflow in the AS IDE (likely Flash Builder) closely
 matches working with Flex as we know it. This way ASJS has no learning
 curve at all: it's just another release build option. JS output that
 just works :-)

 In order to do accomplish this, I'm working on integrating the
 VanillaSDK into the SDK proper. Don't worry, it's all happening in my
 whiteboard for now.

 But I'd like your feedback on some of my ideas, while the
 implementation is still in it's early stages:

 1) create a new namespace in the SDK: http://flex.apache.org/js/goog
 2) add only the components to this namespace that are compatible with JS
 output
 3) create JS compatible versions of spark (and other?) components,
 using composition
 4) create JS versions of these components: the VanillaSDK

 This way hope to achieve the following:
 1) isolate the new components from the rest of the SDK, to avoid
 confusion for developers
 2) allow for incremental development, since only properly prepared
 components will be available
 3) by using composition instead of inheritance we keep control over
 what we expose to the developer, allowing for API compatibility on the
 JS and AS side, while still use Flex components on the AS side

 There's (much) more to it, but for now I'd like to ask: does this make
 any sense, and if it does, how might we improve on this idea to make
 it work better?

Re: Flash Platform Whitepaper

2013-01-29 Thread Kevin Newman

I read the whole thing as Flash entering sunset mode. Basically, Adobe 
doesn't want to make their AIR package competitive, so they are throwing 
in the towel, while allowing Flash Player in the browser to coast to 
it's inevitable demise. That's my read anyway.

The right play in my opinion would be to do exactly that - focus on 
gaming - then expand out to other types of apps like they did when Flash 
moved from animation, to video, to RIAs. They have a strong 
multi-platform app-store middleware product. But if you read closely, 
Adobe's narrative was never about a real focus on gaming, and was always 
more about leveraging their installed base, and desktop/laptop browser 
ubiquity. That failed when they couldn't sell premium features, and so 
they've cancelled the plans they had to advance Flash and AIR further, 
and have instead entered Flash into its end of life.


It's really a shame they'll put stage3d and AGAL to sleep with Flash. 
Any hope they'll mix those APIs with a new language, and create a 
preplacement middleware product (I'm voting for GoLang as the core 
language!)? A new brand couldn't hurt at this point.

Re: Mustella News

The way I see it, when someone downloads the source package, it means that
they will be messing around with the code.  All the more reason to have a
testing suite packaged with the source kit.

I agree with Nick that we should lower the barrier for folks to fix bugs
and run tests.  The utilities like I worked on a while ago -
OneClickMustella [1] will make it easy to run the whole test suite or just
the ones relevant to the files that got modified.

This could increase more drive by patches.  The more patches someone
contributes, the better are our chances to get new committers into the
project.

Thanks,
Om

  I think the question then begs -- do we expect people (non-committers) to
  run bug fixes / new features against Mustella, or do we only do it when
 we
  commit them to SVN, or do we only run Mustella against the source tree
 when
  we package up a release?  I think that will have the most baring if it
 will
  be worth making a release that includes testing suite
 I wouldn't expect non-committers to run mustella unless they have a desire
 to become a committer, in which case they should have the full SVN tree.

 Committers reviewing patches before submitting should definitely run
 mustella regardless if the patch author said they did nor not.  We've made
 some utilities that select the fewest tests to run to ensure that nothing
 in
 mustella breaks.

 I would like to see PMC members run mustella before voting on a release
 candidate.

The installer badge on this page [1] is broken.  I guess it is because of a
crossdomain issue and we dont have a policy file.  I wouldnt worry about it
because it seems to be working fine here [2]

When you make it go live, please sure you test this page first, though!
