Just to speak for all of those companies, much of this happened at the Flex summit. When many of these companies pledged their support, it was within the context of lobbying Adobe to contribute both the FalconAS and FalconJS code, knowing it was not nearly final form and in many cases prototype code, in December/11 or January/12 and for Adobe to finish their development in the open with community help. Within that context, many companies said they would contribute compiler engineering resources to move along the effort, finish the MXML piece and work on the JS piece. None of those prerequisites happened and the Falcon code finally made it in September. This is not a comment on when we received the code... just a defense to the many well intentioned companies who are likely no longer here to speak for themselves. Mike
