"Yeah, it is a lot to learn.  Did you ever make patches to the Flex SDK
framework code? "
A few ones yes, but the deepest I went was:
1. Debug;
2. Find bugs that affects my code;
3. Find logical patch;
4. Copy the original code from the SDK to my project;
5. Apply the patch;
6. Fill a bug on the JIRA with the suggestion of the patch;
7. If (probably not) my patch appear on a future SDK release, I used it and
delete my custom patch.

"I will try to put together a step-by-step tutorial on the next component I
get to run."
That would be great !

"I'm not sure where I have seen this but I think Serkan who migrating his
app has it on the GitHub."
Serkan, can you help ?

It's a big world and I believe that there at least 100 (if not 1000 or more)
developers using Flex SDK that would love to migrate to Royale.
The new components and a new foundation makes sense but it's the emulation
that counts for this set of developers.
Probably they have knowledge to build Flex application and already created
hundreds of widgets using Flex components and perhaps a few patch at most
but if you ask the build a component from scratch for SDK they would not be
able to do and did not know even here to start.
Probably they are all waiting to see what's happen here (if the Roayle with
emulation see the light one day).
I don't believe that this force (a lot of developers) would help but if 1%
of them help developing at least one component or component implementation,
would be a giant help and this "guide for dummies" it's necessary.
It happens all the time, and that's why Flex SDK was successful with samples
and .NET, etc ...
But I may be wrong because I don't have numbers ...
