Hi Sebastien, To confirm, such a framework like Feathers or Starling would have to be updated to ASNext to run on the new VM.

According to jonathan Campos, it is feasable to render flex sdk on starling for the next main release. And if i understand well what thibault said, we don't need anything more then that to run on next VM (for example no need to be AS4) "having a look at Feathers (work from Josh >Tynjala - feathersui.com) on top of Starling, which will run beautifully in our next runtime" It still has to be confirmed, but it could be a good short term solution (still relying on Adobe's runtime), to let flex the time to do more deep mutli target long term changes, even if it means starting again from scratch. If the solution is to start over, it could be the perfect time to ask if AS3 is the better choice for a multi target language, and if flex should not leverage what has been done with haxe. thats the question i was asking to Alex (i was not meaning AS4) jangaroo is great, but only for JS transcompilation, and future flex will need to target more platforms, like Haxe does. i wonder how jangaroo resolved issues with AS3 to JS compilation, that haxe resolved by dropping the feature directly from the language?
