Hi Alex and Josh, Sorry for my dumb question below: I immediately googled FlexJS Express when I saw Josh's answer; but I didn't find something can explains what Express is. Could you give me an URL where I can learn about it? Best Regards, Allen

It would be great to see what the learning curve is when using Express. In theory, Allen should be able to replace: xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; With these two lines: xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; xmlns:mx="library://ns.apache.org/flexjs/express" And replace: mx:Script With: fx:Script Same for any mx:Styles. And also replace: import mx.controls With: import org.apache.flex.html Then just try to compile it. There might be a lot of errors, but then we can discuss how to migrate to resolve those errors. -Alex On 6/30/17, 6:36 AM, "Josh Tynjala" <joshtynj...@gmail.com> wrote: >If you use the new Express components in FlexJS 0.8, binding beads >should be added automatically, so that's one place where things might >not necessarily be too different! > >- Josh > >On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 5:48 AM, Harbs <harbs.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I suggest you watch the getting started video by Yishay and the VS >> Code video by Josh. >> >> Don’t try to port to Flex 4 first.
