I'm still doing some new development; however the question of "Why not
HTML5" is coming up more and more frequently

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?

I understand what you mean here but isn't that always going to be the case. 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)

The continued support is that AS3 and V11 and AIR-for-V11 aren't going
away. But I think the idea is that they go into maintenance mode.
They're not the technology of the future. Do you want to develop for an
old, aging platform?
