Hi,
Yes, your understanding is correct in that there is a set of components in
Royale called Basic that are aimed more at small, fast applications than at
backward-compatibility with Flex.
It is a fair amount of work to migrate your code to the Basic components,
although still much less work than porting all of our code to some other JS
Framework. If you have good separation of "business logic" from your UI, you
should find that your business logic can be used with few changes. That's the
biggest savings as you don't have to debug all of those lines of code agin.
Instead, the work is in rewriting your UI to use the Basic components, although
some folks want to do that anyway to modernize their UI.
Carlos is working on a component set called Jewel that has more modern UI
widgets.
And I and some others are working on the Emulation Components. Their goal is
to require much less rewriting of your existing Flex MXML. It won't be as
small and fast, and you will be able to swap out some pieces for smaller/faster
ones if you need to and have the time. It isn't really a one-man show. For
sure, I am doing a significant amount of the work, but there are others helping
out in smaller contributions and every contribution counts. We hope you and
others will join us.
Thanks,
-Alex

My beloved flex tour (not see for a long time now) in Roayle :D
I read in the past that intention but did not know it was actually done.
"I am focused on the Emulation Components that are intended to mimic MX and
Spark components in Flex in order to lower the effort of migrating from Flex
to Royale"
That would definitively make the things easier and it's on my opinion the
good way to go.
I understand that started as things in Royale that are not compatible with
Flex, so you could evolve however have a compatible layer it's a most to
have.
If I migrate an entire project, later I can move each piece for something
more like Royale.
I understand that this is a community but end up with one man show (you).
I would love to contribute as I already did (a little) with Flex, however I
need to first enter on Roayle that it's a completly new game for me, so I'm
new on that field but you wake up my interested, so I will check later.
Thank you.
