Hi
I have been developing the same educational app "units of sound" in a
HyperCard type tool ToolBook for the past 16 years, 3 years ago we started the
process to move this app to flex,
I have no regrets so far, however I know I may have to recode in to HTML5 in
the next 3-5 years depending on how flex develops, I hope I do not have to do
this, if I was starting today,I think I would have gone down the HTML5 road,
HTML 5 and the supporting frameworks have come on a lot in the past 3 years
Unlike commercial software, educational software is not a highly profitable
product, so we have a small team
In this market you must have a tablet version of you product, I hope to save a
lot of time with the flex AIR / Tablet
I found design the hardest part of the project, until adobe gave up with flex
you had so many way of approaching you project and no clear winner, now most if
not all of these frameworks have gone/ past away, the road is clear, KISS, use
simple MVC and stay within the simple flex frame work you can
The other big help in FLEX is the 1000's of example of how to do X Y Z on the
web, and the support from this group

PS launch of units of sound UK English q4, US English Q1 CY 14' yes us Brits
