Justin, OmPrakash, Ronny, thanks so much for the replies. I tend to agree with you. At the time of Adobe's announcements re Flex, I was fairly certain that it would continue to be maintained. A plugin with a presence in hundreds of millions of browsers just can't disappear that easily. Certainly not with the manpower invested in the framework.
I even tried to convince Jens Halms, the developer of Parsley, that he should continue to support it for these reasons - though I must have failed because I see that the project is in 'read-only' mode, and has been for several years. I'm have a question about IOC containers, but will post that in a separate thread. In terms of this thread: I'm going to use SDK 4.13, but, for now, will target the same version that our current software runs on, 11.3, I believe. Simultaneously, we will record the flash players of our customers and decide what to do. It might be that we release 2 versions, one targeting 11.3 and another targeting 14.0, and let the browser decide which one to load. I don't want to force all of our customers to upgrade their players just for our application. Thanks again for your responses - if you need to support IE 8, need a datagrid with fixed headers and columns, and don't need to support tablets or phones, then it seems that Flex is still the way to go.
