In all honesty, what I would envision as Flex 5 would continue the work done for FlexJS with the compiler to allow us to write once and compile to multiple target runtimes. Unfortunately, right now we are pretty limited in viable runtime options for mass deployment, either to the Flash Player or to the browser via the JS virtual machine. I wish that the Dart VM was widespread enough for it to be a viable target, as that would yield significant performance improvements over JavaScript, but I think we all know that will never happen.
That being said, I think it would be very interesting to see how difficult it would be to build a version of Flex that would allow us to target Xamarin/Unity via Mono, to get away from the dependency on Adobe ( no offense to Alex and company ). That would allow us to target the web via either the Unity player plugin or Canvas, and mobile devices with a very high performance runtime.
