Hi Om,
That is truly amazing that a site with this kind of intricacy could actually
be ported into something that would run on an iPAD Safari browser, bypassing
the Apple AppStore.
I'm quite comfortable with pulling in screens one by one and adjusting
things until they run - that's my preferred method of development. If there
are bugs, then I'll work around them. I'll find a way. What I'm not sure
about is how to install the FlexJS sdk. You mentioned in your talk that the
sdk can be installed on Flashbuilder. You did not mention IntelliJ. I find
IntelliJ to be superior in just about every measure. Does it work on
IntelliJ? If not, then how precisely would one install it in Flashbuilder?
I am not at all familiar with Flexmojos or Maven or any of the manipulations
required to work with them. That stuff is complete Greek to me. However,
once I have an sdk installed on a system such as (hopefully) IntelliJ, then
I'm off and running. Is there something like the Apache Flex SDK Installer
that can download a FlexJS sdk, in the same way that one downloads Flex
4.14.1?
Thanks in advance,
Lane.

Here is the link to the video again:

Lane, I looked at the cognitivestyles.com site. It does not look too
difficult to convert it into a FlexJS application. Although, I will let
Alex or Peter answer this questions with more authority.
I do see that there are some audio elements used. I am not sure if FlexJS
supports audio yet.
Best approach would be to start playing with FlexJS and get comfortable
with getting the example apps up and running. Then, you can start porting
the screens one by one to FlexJS. If you run into issues, you can always
ask here. We can help answer and even better, add features to FlexJS as
required.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Om
