Adobe did not say "no support". Adobe is still supporting Flash, and you
can still purchase Flex support contracts from Adobe. Adobe donated Flex to
Apache so it can continue to be developed in the open. Adobe continues to
make releases of Flash.
Still, lots of people are moving to HTML5/Android/IOS, and so is Apache
Flex. If you monitor the d...@flex.apache.org mailing list you will see that
we are hard at work on trying to cross-compile MXML and ActionScript to
HTML/JS/CSS which can then be run through PhoneGap/Cordova to create mobile
apps. It is still in its infancy and we have lots of work ahead, but we are
making progress.
See [1] for more on one approach we are taking.
