Re: To FlexJS or not to FlexJS

I think I’m going to spend a few weeks prototyping in FlexJS to get a feel for it before making a final decision. I’d really like to make it work. I’d love to get a normal JS text engine. It seems to me there’s enough people who have an interest in this space that it should be possible to get a

It's a 'NoSourceForClassInNamespaceProblem', and the only places that is 'thrown' is in SWCTarget (Falcon) and FlexJSSWCTarget (FalconJX). It is referenced in both the 'validateIncludeNamespaceEntries' and 'getCompilationUnitsFromClassNames' methods. It seems related to the actual compilation of t

Interesting. Have you found where the “could not find source” is output? If you break on that, you can usually find out which source file is being compiled and look at the source and try to figure out why. It could just be unused import statements in those source files. FalconJX I think relies o

It is conceivable that the FlexJS compilers will be 1.0 ready by end of 2015. I think we’ll have a decent set of widgets by then as well. The big ticket items for 2015 is virtual lists/datagrids/tree. And then there’s a text layout package. Now FlexJS doesn’t just compile its own set of widgets

Even if I could not 100% confirm the code was doing the same as compared to the default compiler. I could confirm that removing the code I was thinking of being redundant didn't have any effect on the generated output. The classes abc code were identical. So I guess it's safe to assume, that rem

I finished the talk. Very interesting stuff! I never realized you can use TypeScript on Mac. FlexJS has a lot of the advantages of his setup. I’d love to make it work… ;-) He did not mention how extensive the text engine is. Supporting style spans and multi-line text is much more complex than h

Ok so I did a little more tweaking. I had to increase the visibility of two SWFDump methods in order to use SWFDumps output programatically though, but I guess this shouldn't cause any trouble. The flexmojos-tests project now contains one more project "bytecode-dumper". It's a maven plugin tha

The sooner the better… ;-) Realistically, we’re looking to “beginning of 2015” for basic WYSIWYG. Your guess is as good as mine what that will actually mean. I don’t imagine we’re going to approach feature parity before the end of 2015. But hopefully at the end of next year we’ll at least be cl
