Alex, your e-mail is hidden on this thread.

I'm using directly nabble website.

Anyway, this was my post (attempt to):

Following

...

"we have some tooling to try to analyze your code"
Great. Can you please point me where this tools are and how to use them (I
suposed that's a command line) ?

A few questions:
1. Apache Roayle support FXG (visual elements and colors with XML) in the
same way as Flex SDK or there is plans to ?
2. Flex SDK on AIR have native support (without ANE) for SQLite. This is
very important for mobile applications and also for offline content on
desktop applications. Does Royale supports this ?
3. AIR supports native extensions that are important for mobile. How Apache
Roayle deals with that ?

Chears,

Hi Hugo,

for quick tutorials please check this:

https://royale.apache.org/category/royale-examples/

To see what's capable Royale actually check as well Jewel Example test
project:

https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/tree/develop/examples/royale/JewelExample

(I think we should have this in running in the website, hope to add this
soon)

To see videos of Royale in action we posted several animated Gif here

http://twitter.com/apacheroyale

IMHO, I'm working in a real Apache Royale for a client now, and I think we
have mostly all the pieces, to go to production at least with Jewel UI set,
and we are focusing in fix bug and add enhancements as we needed.

So I think we are in a beta quality product (and no more an alpha) at least
in some parts and paths to get a real application done today.

If you can join us, and support fixing bugs or doing PRs, that will do a
huge difference to have two more hands contributing

Thanks!

Carlos

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

OK,

First, as said before it's the top one for Apache Roayle (congrats).
While I'm trying to code, the IDE didn't popup any intelisense (also I don't
saw any window with a log error, so I assumed that intelisense was not
supported).
If you would like to investigated, I don't know where I can help without
logs but I'm using macOS (latest OS version) on a MacBook Pro (latest
version).

Moonshine has full intellisence support. If something doesn't work for you
provide details. I do recommend using Nightly Build of Royale for now. We
have on our pipeline release Moonshine 1.16.0. I can send you off the list
Nightly build as well. We are a bit delayed with release cause Apple App

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

Hi,

The next release should have better support for emulation components. You do
have to change the xml namespace to use them:

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

need to be changed to:

xmlns:mx="library://ns.apache.org/royale/mx"
xmlns:s="library://ns.apache.org/royale/spark"

Regarding migrating your application, we have some tooling to try to analyze
your code and see what Flash and Flex APIs are using. And you can just fork
your code, replace the XML namespaces and see what happens.

Regarding the external components, you can examine the imports they use to see
what flash classes are being used. MXML files have some hidden "automatic"
imports so it is a bit harder to see what they use. We have emulated some
Flash classes, but it is not a goal to emulate all of them. We want to get
away from dependencies on Flash APIs because some sort of rely on the way Flash
renders, and some features like listener priorities and weak references are not
easily reproduced on other platforms.

You can get started now with a nightly build. Please continue the conversation
over at d...@royale.apache.org.

Thanks,
-Alex

I tryed Moonshine and seems that this IDE was designed for Apache Royale. I
couldn't expect that could be easier to start a project (even for a

For last but not least, I went thru Visual Studio Code (ho, boy that text

I was able to
build a Hello Word test project and then started to play around.
Intellisense works out of the box !
And I saw references to TLF on intellisense that you mentioned before (very
good :) ).

Pure Apache Royale it's noticeable more mature than before and without
compiling errors on the first experience. It's not a alpha product anymore
an deserves to be almost version 1.0 but this was a short test.
I didn't even care about debug for now.

As explain before, for me, to be even possible to move from Apache Flex to
Apache Royale, I need to:
1. Move a very big ship (block by block) to your new approach emulation
components (accepting that they will not optimised for speed);
2. Find a way to move a few external components (I have the source code of
all them);
3. Fix a lot of issues during a few months in tests;
4. Then and only then, I can start moving pieces of components to pure
Apache Royale (accepting that there is the possibility to end up with a mix
of pure Apache Royale components and emulated ones but I already have that
with MX and Spark anyway).

During this test, I tryed but not be able to use any MX component so my
guess is that is not yet on this release and perhaps only on the night
builds or even on your local machine waiting for commit. This assumption is
correct ?
MX and Spark emulation are predicted for the next 0.9.3 ?

As you can imagine, there is old code that is not following the best
approach.
I have the business logic separated from the UI but it's not all the cases.
My first work will be starting refactoring and this, I can start right now.
As much perfection my code is before the port, easier will be.
Then, only after MX and Spark emulation be on a release will make sense to
start but I'm excited to do and when I enter on that space, for sure that I
will be a contributor (at least on documentation for others, report bugs and
provide fixs).

Thank you very much for you work since always on this project.
For what I saw, I believe that one day I may move my code (I was not

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

Hi,

Yes, your understanding is correct in that there is a set of components in
Royale called Basic that are aimed more at small, fast applications than at
backward-compatibility with Flex.

It is a fair amount of work to migrate your code to the Basic components,
although still much less work than porting all of our code to some other JS
Framework. If you have good separation of "business logic" from your UI, you
should find that your business logic can be used with few changes. That's the
biggest savings as you don't have to debug all of those lines of code agin.
Instead, the work is in rewriting your UI to use the Basic components, although
some folks want to do that anyway to modernize their UI.

Carlos is working on a component set called Jewel that has more modern UI
widgets.

And I and some others are working on the Emulation Components. Their goal is
to require much less rewriting of your existing Flex MXML. It won't be as
small and fast, and you will be able to swap out some pieces for smaller/faster
ones if you need to and have the time. It isn't really a one-man show. For
sure, I am doing a significant amount of the work, but there are others helping
out in smaller contributions and every contribution counts. We hope you and
others will join us.

Thanks,
-Alex

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

Yep, we can always use more tutorials and other "on-boarding" material.

I personally have not worked too much on that because I think for right now, my
energy is best spent on making sure that the code actually works. It seems
that most folks don't have the experience and time to work on that. I think
that there are more folks, including you, who are capable of writing small bits
of documentation and examples and could help us build up that set of material.

One thing about Royale is that there is no one set of UI widgets that you must
use. I think that's good in that you are not locked into using MX or Spark or
in Royale's case, the Basic components or Jewel. You can use Jquery, CreateJS,
Material Design Lite. You can wrap any existing JS framework that has a
procedural API, and probably others if you really wanted to. Royale is really
in the business of creating a software developer workflow for assembling chunks
of JavaScript together. But that makes it harder for generating
getting-started materials because there are multiple paths you can get started
on.

Right now, I am focused on the Emulation Components that are intended to mimic
MX and Spark components in Flex in order to lower the effort of migrating from
Flex to Royale. It won't be 100% backward compatible, but should be much less
rewriting than porting to other JS frameworks.

Here is a link to Tour De Flex migrated to Royale with relatively few changes:
http://apacheroyaleci.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/job/TourDeFlexMigration/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/examples/mxroyale/tourdeflexmodules/bin/js-debug/index.html

Only the MX/Visual Components/General Controls have been seen to run (except
ColorPicker), but I'm finishing up LineChart right now. The demo may break at
times and the visuals are not tuned up, but it will give you an idea of what is
possible. We just need more folks to contribute. Anyone who contributes helps
lower the cost of migrating for everyone else. If we get lots of people
pitching in, it is like having a large team to migrate your app.

use Flash Builder (for many years now), Visual Studio Code it's not a IDE
and I would not go thru Moonshine (I don't want to see me there), so I will
try with Visual Studio Code the tutorial.

I checked the mailing list (for the very first time) and surprisingly seems
to be very active).

I definitively will try later to build a sample use case.

I know that this is a community project (and that a strong point on my
opinion), however I continue to think that an important peace is messing: A
lot of tutorials and sample starting projects.

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

"but TLF is running in Royale without Flash/AIR"
Really !
That's good news (for me) to know.
I'm out of Royale, so I'm probably outdated on that area.

As said before, my experience with FlexJS (now Apache Royale) was a long
time ago on a early days and on that time, what I saw was a pre-alpha
quality product.
Perhaps I should try again now and see what is capable of.

There is a tutorial for scratch using IntelliJ (or other IDEA but I prefer
IntelliJ) ?
A simple hello word that I could just build (ie transpite) and then evolve
to check was is possible to do and what is not ?

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

FWIW, Harbs can say more about what didn't get migrated, but TLF is running in 
Royale without Flash/AIR.

What else is on your list of missing features?

Thanks,

Hi,

I will give you my input of this one:
I have a large Flex project for many years now (more than 1.5 millions lines
of code and growing).
This project started for AIR because on that time was predicted that one day
Flash on Web will end and HTML5 was just an ideia on that time (also there
was the intention to use features directly from desktop that they are very
difficult to get on the web space).
Even so, this project have very complex features that it's not possible on
the present with any web technology that I know !

I already tested FlexJS (now Apache Royale) for about 2 years now and "for
me" it was a pre-alpha quality product on that time.
I believe that now it's more mature but even so without things like Flex TLF
support I wouldn't even take a look and probably we will never get this kind
of specific features.

If I was you, I would take a look on Apache Royale and invest a few time to
try to port the code (at least you will know if this is an option to
consider or not).

Than you have the AIR option that it's a guarantee low friction porting
option, however it's a change of paradigma (desktop vs web).
I strongly recommend a "click once"/"auto-update" or what ever you would
like to call, option.
For this, I designed mysef an auto-update mechanism compatible with Windows
and macOS available on Github with MIT license.

Re: Question on Migrating from Flex to FlexJS

Check this out: https://github.com/SolidSoft-Lda/AIR-AutoUpdate
This AutoUpdate engine auto restart the Desktop App after the update 
(compatible with macOS, Win-32 and Win-64).

Hi Hugo,

maybe you should post the like to your auto-update solution, so people
could check it.

thanks for you points, very valuable

Carlos
