This now getting troubling if people are representing things correctly. Are all current flex based mobile apps doomed ?
When is AS4 due? Do we know for sure when the new vm's will cut out support for As 3 which is required for flex support? Should I be coding in pure AS ?

Do you know if the next AIR runtime will only work for AS4?
