It is independent of Flash Builder. I haven't a link to documentation just
now, but you can get it even without IDE, as parameters in command line.
Every IDE (i used FlashDevelop) does it comfortable.

Hello Elena/all


OK, can a web server be used to do the same thing(convert Flex projects into 
mobile/tablet apps)?


Has anyone done/attempted to do this?



Yours sincerely,
Arvind,

Web server has nothing to do with it. You need to create AIR app. If you
work on Windows computer, i'd recommend you to use FlashDevelop, it is
super easy. You can create Flex Air project and generate iOS or Android app
(for iOS you need certificate though).

You could take a look to Uriana (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/uriana/wiki).
Though it is still under development, it provides a mobile library that
could help you so much to get your mobile apps ready and working.

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects

[Ajar]

Carlos, Elena & Arvind hello
I have a very straight forward question to you and everyone else on this
list:
Is flex really relevant for mobile?
This is asked due to its dependency of the regular stage display list, and
inability to take advantage of stage3d performance.
Why should anyone choose flex over feathersUI for mobile development?
I love flex mainly for web desktop apps
But it seems like it needs to be re-written on top of stage3d to be
relevant for mobile
And that's exactly what Josh did when he created feathers...
Your thoughts?

I dare say, everybody can choose what he wants and what he really needs. My
task was (mainly) to get data from webservice and show it. Good task for
Flex, Stage3D was not really relevant...

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

> inability to take advantage of stage3d performance.
Depends on your application - not all applications need stage3d, if you writing 
a 3d game then sure but your typical Flex application probably doesn't need it.

In my experience, if performance isn't an issue (and it's usually not Flex runs 
is fast on modern phones), it comes down to how much of your desktop 
application code do you want to rewrite to make it work on mobile and do you 
have the time and budget for that? Using Flex on both mobile and desktop may 
save you time and money.

Thanks,
Justin

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects

[Arvind Dievs Software]

HI Ajar


 

You must remember that feathersui- as the name says-- is for UI components.


Whereas for business//enterprise apps Flex has everything needed (you can 
create skins for flex apps and they look pretty nice- atleast for business / 
enterprise apps→ again games etc require a different level of graphics/ visual 
layout so that use case is covered well by FeathersUI  + Starling framework. 



If you look at the activity of Apache Flex- adoption of flex has only increased 
after Adobe licensed out Flex to the Apache foundation. Many people would say 
that had Macromedia been in charge of Flex (and not been taken over by Adobe)→ 
they would never have given up Flex (like Adobe has done) The level of 
maturity of Flex, the kind of support/documentation/books/tutorials it has are 
simply incomparable. I worked with JavaScript for some time before I turned to 
Flex (as it turns out I brought a Flash Builder license a few months before 
Adobe open sourced Flex- again something I find difficult to believe). And I am 
simply shocked as to why there is such hype surrounding Js based mobile apps-- 
its a real pain to create an app of any complexity in JavaScript.

I think maybe that's because Flash is Adobe’s proprietary tech→ so all the 
other biggies are shutting Adobe out by adopting JavaScript?


I think I digressed a bit from your question- just thought I would let you know 
how I feel about Flex when compared with JS(in addition to your question about 
feathersui) :) 



Yours sincerely,
Arvind,
Dievs Software.

RE: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects

[Mark Line]

FeathersUI has a lot of features missing compared to Flex although for basic
things its fine.

A while ago I rewrote an app from Flex to feathers to see what performance
gains I could get:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.indecentmonkey.eggtime
rair

It took me almost twice as long to rewrite the app in Feathers then using
Flex, that said it's probably because there was a learning curve with
feathers.

I wouldn't write off Flex for mobile. I think it does a great job. Keep the
display list minimal and it works like a great! On current devices (I was
testing on a nexus 4) the only difference between the starling and flex
verison I could really find was the app start up time

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects

[Ajar]

Elena, I'll be extremely happy to be able to use flex for mobile
it would save me a lot of headache in layout and data architecture
it is mature, modular boutique framework to my taste
and yes of-course, anyone can choose what they want
I'm not here to negate flex, but to surface a critical issue for its
relevancy
I'd love to see flex flourish.
I ask this to open the discussion on mobile development.
a discussion that would hopefully yield a direction that can match
and surpass the current mobile development alternatives.

Justin, flex is far better development wise then feathers to my needs.
feathers is aiming to add some ui capabilities to games, and my needs are
list based/ screen based applications.
this is far more suitable to build in flex and would take a lot less time
and code sharing would indeed be a treat.

When I'm talking about performance, I wasn't implying games first-person
shooter syle, but screen transitions, lists swipes and easing general
rendering and responsiveness

Mark, your words are very reassuring.
I'll be extremely happy to find out I was dead wrong and flex can pull
through
and as devices become stronger in processing power, the more relevant flex
would be for mobile.
I'll definitely give it a shot and report back.

cheers everyone
Ajar

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects

[Carlos Velasco]

I think the answer to your question depends on the software you are
planning to develop. In my experience FLEX works good with form-based
applications, such as managing, registering or so, where development times
are significantly lower than using other alternative technologies and the
final app performance is acceptable.

I would stand out of the flex way for hardware consuming apps though.

By the way, Uriana helps a lot (in my opinion) to develop medium-large
mobile modular applications, as it provides several framework prebuilt
pieces to deal with common mobile issues.

Hope that helps.

If you know my work you know that I've done lots of mobile projects over
the last 3 years. Many of them Flex and FeathersUI. While feathers is nice
there are situations that stage3D is actually a bad thing. There are always
trade offs and for some projects it just doesn't work. I had to port an app
from Feathers to Flex because feathers was croaking. It was unexpected but
true.
