I think the most viable solution is to fork flex , remove the old code and target Stage3D. We have the current version to leverage legacy applications, but we need to target new platforms Even rewrite the all framework or fork another framework based on Stage3D is an option. anybody test the performance of the current Adobe Air on ipad 3 retina display??? it is awful, so unusable. Maybe accesibility or localization is a problem I dont know, but for sure performance is a big one and probably more important one.
