@pa...@compuace.com Do you know for a fact that you can't loadBytes your SWF
from the network and get it to run properly?
@DarrenEvans I'm interested in more details on your solution as well. If it
still involves a Flash Player to run a SWF, the ability to get a free Flash
Player on a new computer after 2020 is not guaranteed.
Royale/FlexJS is certainly not a zero-effort migration, but should be less
effort than a full port to an all-JS solution. What was supposed to happen is
that everyone pitched in with bug fixes and collectively made migration easier
for everyone else. There is no big money driving development of Royale or
Flex. It was supposed to become a community effort where each team migrating
their Flex app had at least one person get to know the Royale framework well
enough to fix bugs in it. Royale still can become a larger community effort,
IMO, but requires more of you to get involved and become framework developers.
Being able to fix your own bugs in software you depend on is your best defense
against an uncertain future. That's why Flex and Royale are open source at
Apache. So that no corporation that owns the code.
Thanks,

Would you be willing to share the "Adobe Air SWF Launcher?" If not we
would be very interested in as much detail as you would be willing to share, so
that we could replicate it.
What I am in the middle of writing is a main application shell which checks
the date of the local SWF, the corresponding SWF hosted on a web site, and if
the local one is older download the one from the web site.

Subject: Re: Flex to Adobe AIR migration
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
