Still working on a huge desktop Flex app for a client for their worldwide subdivisions, and getting a LOT of negative feedback, not because it is slow or bug ridden (plain users like it actually), but simply because the IT departments know it is using AIR, and the word got out about Flash... Not

Not sure how it would not fit in the definition you state, I read it as you start out with one code base, and have the ability to run it on as many devices supported, if he'd succeed, then then only difference would be that on Android devices, you app will not be running via AIR, but natively,

I can imagine a Flex-like framework on the GPU, but what if you will need to fall back to the software renderer? For enterprise apps, you run in offices, where rarely PCs are beefed up with good GPU specs. (let alone trying to update GPU driver horror scenarios for office people) I've no clue

Spark has a lot of potential and for me personally, I never went back to Flex 3.x mx skinning. But your complaints are valid of course, simple skinning tasks can be very cumbersome and 'visualizing' MXML code as you type it can be quite hard, I briefly tried Catalyst but didn't end up using it,

Re: Pushing Flex components thorough the GPU

2012-01-24 Thread Frank Pepermans
Indeed :) Not very slightly off topic, I created a Spark component a while ago, which utilizes pure Alchemy for all things related to layout, performance is acceptable, and it can still be optimized much more by for example using tinyTLF. http://www.igindo.com/orgchart/index.html (click drag

Would be good to know exactly why Flex underperforms in areas such as item renderers right now, so much goes on when for example a grid is created and shown, that it is hard to track down. i.e. having tandem of the Flex layout framework plus Starling would still be slow, especially the added c

Unfortunately I'm also stuck with huge data grids in my current project, performance is the number one issue, and having spent so much time on it, it is hard to say it's "as good as it gets". I have to use complex editable custom item renderers. - I started out using the Spark grid - Then tran

Same over here in Belgium, Pretty silent, not that I miss head hunters calling me during work (do they even read the CVs???). But I'm not actively looking (yet) on the market, I do hope Apache Flex will indeed turn some heads around again. In my experience, most people I get to work for don't
