Hi Oleg, I've developed a set of CSS-styleable base components based on SpriteVisualElement that might help this effort. It's based on a demo system by Nahuel Faronda. It was intended to speed up Flex mobile apps, which it does, actually. Would that help? Cheers, Sanford On 3/21/2012 1:

Hi, sorry for the late response. I found the class I was thinking about, it's spark.core.SpriteVisualElement. It's not as small as I hoped, but it's way much smaller then UIComponent, and it's possible to use it as a base class for Flex components, so, it may be a good target for a PoC. It has an a

I tried once to use some spark components with very reduced functionality for the purpose of using GFX - that's why I mentioned it. I *hope* that there may be a way do build a PoC using some Spark interfaces masking alternative smaller implementations. However, I fell victim to Ubuntu update %) an

Would seriously love to get started with porting Flex onto Haxe. That is something I prize most of all the changes. Flex was known for being the best single RIA tool in the market for a long time. Now over the past months it is losing its glitter. Perhaps porting it to Haxe and making it truly cro

Niel, I've tried to bootstrap the framework once, but I've reduced it to the minimum required to support MXML (so no visual components, collections etc), only bindings + some other stuff I wasn't able to remove. It would be all in all about 30 classes. So, if you are interested, I could give it a

I think if some work were to go into this, it would be a great primer for the issues around targeting javascript/HTML regardless of which compiler is used. Many issues that were raised in the "porting to haxe" threads revolved around generic issues that would need to be dealt with regardless of whe

>Hasn't the MXMLC Flex compiler been open source since version 3? No, not really. If you look at the licenses (which are contradictory in some cases) the modules directory containing the compiler source *may* have been Adobe license and not Mozilla so we may not have the right to redistribute.

The topic was discussed a little, but it seemed to me that the general feeling was "as3 is not haxe", and "let's wait and see what adobe hands us on a plate". I am definitely interested in such a project, but it's still an idea that needs some traction in the community, or it will have some diffic

MXML/AS3/Flex are conceptually identical to XAML/C#/WPF. They borrow a lot of ideas from previous XML UI technologies. MXML/haXe/Flex does sound quite viable. The issue is that both Silverlight and Flash are dieing and haXe represents a future for Flex because it is clever cross compiler tech

To be honest: if I would have to write a framework for haXe I would focus it on other things than I do in AS3. AS3 is not a perfect language (by a long shot) but in Flex MXML is a key concept and it does take some time to implement a hxml of the same logic, same goes for quite a few other aspects
