I don't think Adobe has publicly disclosed details about AS4 yet, so I'll just say that there are significant changes from AS3. However, porting Flex would probably involve more work in adapting to the new runtime APIs than in adapting to the new language. Also, the AS4 compiler will not be ope

Is it possible to build an AS/Flex framework just like ExtJS and Sencha Touch? If we have this framework, we can write and test AS codes in flash builder and public them as as/flex apps. And most importantly, we can easily translate this AS code to JS code line by line. On 19 October 2012 21:49

I think we only could evaluate AS4 when Adobe share more info about flash player next. Things like accesibility, localization, and others are key for Flex. Hope that info could be shared soon and hope as well internacionalization will be focus since I think is important in gamming too. 2012/10/19
