Hi,
yes i totally agree.
thats why the haxe way seems better for now. And thats why i still don't
see any satisfying way to keep flex in AS3 for its long term future.
Justin, you did not answer "what is the essence of flex" for you? :)

Hi,
can flex outputed to HTML/JS perform as good as flex outputed to flash runtimes?
Well as we can't do that yet it's an unknown. However from what I've seen of
the Falcon JS compiler the answer is that ActionScript running in flash runtime
is much faster. However it's not just a mater of raw performance but more that
Flex is optimised to work with the Flash Player (frame frames, elastic
racetrack, drawing api, display list etc etc) and that's not how JS engines
work.
Can the next flex (re written) outputed to HTML/JS perform as good as current
flex outputed to flash runtimes?
I doubt it (but see above) and I think it would take a large amount of time and
effort to do so. We know a little more when we get our hands on Falcon JS.
If not, i would conclude that the use of Apache Cordova is not a good solution
as a path to get rid of Adobes runtimes dependency.
If you were making simple mobile app perhaps. I do know of several project that
tried Cordova and found that performance wasn't what they required and decided
to go native.
Thanks,
Justin
