Let s see where this take us, Flex 5 vs Flex JS? or Flex 5 will be Flex JS?
We can enter in a some conspiracy theories that that was always the plan of
Adobe :)
But with some new fresh blood in the web maybe will be also good for the flex
project...
Christopher, I think that is a topic that needs much more coverage. Great
idea!

Hi,
maybe this was discussed at some time, but I'd want to know what's the

Since new experimental components are based on Spark arquitecture, I'd
expect they use the spark prefix (i.e: s:Accordion, s:ColorPicker,
s:MaskedTextInput,...and so

Actually, experimental component have their own namespace:

design.xml file)
But this is not documented very well , if at all.

I think it's the other way: IMO, it was decided to use a different namespace
so that developers immediately know that these are special components, and
don't have the same expectations.
this was supposed to outweigh the inconvenience of changing namespaces.

Also, because most (if not all) components in the 'experimental'
namespace don't have the same exhaustive set of Mustella tests, we
have no way of guaranteeing their continued quality when changes are
made to other parts of the SDK... So, until a component gets a
comprehensive Mustella test suite,

Hi,
Installer works on OSX 10.9 as far as I can see for Apache Flex SDK and Flex JS.
There a few minor issues:
- Not defaulting to the latest FP and AIR versions
- FlexJS says it installing Apache Flex 4.0.1
- FlexJS progress bar go outside of window bounds
- FlexJS steps seem a bit arbitrary
Thanks. Nice to know it worked for someone else besides me.
The Flex SDK install still uses the old code paths so the fact it works
just means I haven't busted anything. I hope to finish the ant script for
