I think that developers can continue to build good apps with AS3 and V11, but I'm assuming -- perhaps wrongly -- that the demand for them is going to decrease because companies see that Adobe is no longer investing many resources in them. Hasn't demand already fallen off over the last year? Are developers on this list still able to earn a living building new Flex apps, or are you maintaining old ones?

AS4 will go into maintenance mode, then AS5 etc.. What I don't understand is why AS3 is not good enough for a Flex 5 version or even Flex 6 which will export to multiple targets. Can you elaborate on that? Output should be a invisible layer (JS, iOS, Android, SWF, .. Shouldn't matter for the developer). I think most developers like Flex because of the ease-of-use(binding,mxml), rapid development(OOP, components, ..) and multiplatform (mobile, desktop, ..) and I don't see the need for AS4 thereŠ but I'm not export on the subject (just eager to learn more about it) On 16/11/12 22:48, "Gordon Smith" <gosm...@adobe.com> wrote: >The continued support is that AS3 and V11 and AIR-for-V11 aren't going >away.
