Hi, Maybe it's also interesting to know that Zynga is creating a new language: Playscript. It's based on actionscript3 and C# and could be regarded as Actionscript 4 feature wise. The compiler is open source and based on mono.
They also support compiling plain actionscript3 projects to run on mono with their compiler modifications. Or you can compile AOT it via Xamarin plugins to run native. So in effect this is removing the dependency on Air for mobile and desktop actionscript projects. Now the reason i mention it here is that they plan to support Stage3D/Starling/Away3D/Feathers but not the displaylist. So in theory flex, if using stage3d for rendering, could run on mono or native without adobe compilers involved if i understand correctly. To make this work there's a few things needed: * falcon should output actionscript3 / playscript (for mxml support) * flex should replace the displaylist with stage3d (maybe starling) * the zynga compiler needs to mature Seems like a really big effort is needed to pull this off, but i thought i'd mention it for completeness of the discussion. Anyway for people interested here's the link: http://playscript.github.io best, Arnoud On 10-07-2013, at 18:38, Carlos Rovira <carlosrov...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > from time to time people comes with the desire to see Flex running on > Stage3D.
