Royale (and any Apache project) will be around as long as there are 3 active
committers/PMC members. You can become one of them by contributing to the
project (code, doc, bugs, marketing, whatever). That way you can truly have a
stake in the future. No corporation can shut down Royale.
Nobody has gone into production on the MX/Spark emulation component set. I
think Alina's team is close. The tourdeflex migration example might give you
an idea of what it can currently do, but really, the goal is to make it work as
well as you need it. We are looking for folks who want to help us improve it.
The mindset has to be different from the Adobe days when you could just wait
for Adobe to cut another release for you to use. It is important that people
get involved, even if it is just reporting bugs. There is no dedicated test
team for Apache Royale. There was for Adobe Flex. There is no corporation
pushing this technology. The users are supposed to help with the pushing and
pulling.
I'm not sure where the source code is for FlourineFX. It might be transpilable
to JS. It appears to use AMF underneath. So maybe you have some work to do
there, but in the whole, it should be far less work than migrating all of your
code. See if you can figure out what FlourineFX APIs you used and we can
discuss emulating those.

The applications we have written really do want to be desktop applications.
Having a small subset of functionality for mobile use would be beneficial for a
few of the applications we support. Mostly however these are data entry focused
applications. One of the applications captures over 200 data elements in a
single data entry screen with complex business rules, using a tabbed interface.
With Royale, I have some questions/concerns;
Will it be around for 10 years?How many users/companies have adopted
Royale?Are there any applications, perhaps with similar look & feel.as what
this app shows, already functional in Royale? If not similar, at least some
applications I can see and touch.I use FluorineFX as my data layer interface.
Will that be transportable?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,
as Alex I think your best route is to join us in Apache Royale mailing
lists [1] and try emulation components. This will be the fastest way to
migrate to html/js touching almost no code. Royale is now in a very good
state for everyone to start using it. I encourage you to join our community
and get started here [2]
