Hi Sam,

We were in exactly the same situation. I'm not sure how big your application
is but ours was absolutely huge; many millions of lines of Flex/AS code.

We looked at Apache Royale / FlexJS when it was in its infancy and we simply
could not justify the time and effort it would take to port it to that. The
component selection simply was not there, the IDE support was minimal and it
was an absolute pain to get the smallest of bits to compile and display
anything plus all the MXML needed rewriting.

We wanted a quick solution that could use the existing code base, as-is,
while we rewrote the product using React/HTML/D3/SVG.

First step was creating a direct Adobe Air compilation of the original
codebase. We also used IntelliJ IDE and I never had a problem with it
requiring the FlashPlayer. Other than working through some base component
issues and some other bugs that surfaced, it wasn't too bad.

We ended up extending that and going for a solution that loaded the original
SWF file and essentially hosted it in via what we termed the "Adobe Air SWF
Launcher" (almost a surrogate FlashPlayer). This way we didn't need our
customers to reinstall the Application if there were bugs or tweaks, we
could simply host a new SWF which would be consumed by our launcher.

Cheers, Dal
