Thanks Alex. I appreciate your comments - with the 5 year commitment from Adobe, and FlexJS on the horizon, i can relax (a bit). I just worry about your employers sometimes. At Max 2011, the message was use HTML5 for RIAs, and shortly afterwards mobile Flash Player was dropped. At Max 2013,

Hi Justin, thank you for your answer I need to develop a flex mxml app for the web it is a complex on, and therefore mxmlc takes forever to compile. my interest in the Falcon compiler is really the promise for reasonable compiling time. I'd sure appreciate any tips on faster compilation. up to now

If you don't use link reports... try using the incremental compilation. It will not recompile certain files that have not changed. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_20.html -Mark -Original Message- From: yariv.gi...@gmail.com

I worry less about the message than I do the motivation behind the push towards HTML5. It still makes no sense to me from a developer's perspective, though I've tried very hard to understand it. Standards based or not, HTML5 is inferior technology when compared to what can be delivered with

Hi, I totally agree with Mike. HTML 5 is a poor alternative. Anyway, if we must deliver HTML 5, why choose Flex ? It's better to choose true HTML 5 / js frameworks. HTML 5 with Flex will have too much limitations. Perhaps it would be better to have Java/C#/Objectice C outputs... Le

It is expected to be faster, but I would not expect an order of magnitude improvement. The hope was that non-incremental compiles would be 2x faster. In any large project it is better to eliminate a complex network of interdependencies. Proper use of modules and interfaces should make

It makes perfect sense: otherwise you end up dependent on one vendor for stuff that works. Case in point: Adobe didn't bother to make a 64-bit Linux build for many years... When they finally did, it didn't support the GPU-related stuff, it pegged the CPU at 100% and didn't support webcams, all
