Hi Najeeb Piotr mentioned it already but I want to let you know that Apache Royale is in heavy development now and it makes you have the same fast development with AS3 and MXML that you'll have in Flex, but targeting HTML/JS/CSS in the browsers (as well SWF, but I's not as well developed that what we have in html now)
I recommend you to check this so you can decide better: https://royale.apache.org/category/royale-examples/ As you can see in the examples, the code is almost the same as Flex, but the example is running in almost any plataform browser. You can use Cordova or AIR to go mobile. About native, some day Royale could compile directly to native iOS, native Android...as we do now with SWF and HTML different outputs. In the other hand, Royale HTML output seems to be very optimized, and with the latest mobile devices, I think HTML is a good option in terms of performance and you'll be targeting lots of devices with only one development. Hope this helps Thanks Carlos 2018-06-19 10:12 GMT+02:00 najeeb <najeebsha...@gmail.com>: > Thank you for the informative replies. Quite a relief to know that Flex is > doing well.
