Flex and lack of (complete) support for touch screens

In the Adobe Air Forum I found that
(https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2364563):

/Standard Flex components rely heavily on vector graphics and even a simple
view with bunch of inactive components can make a average tablet/phone lag
heavily (drop fps to near zero) without mentioning their lack of (complete)
support for touch screens (and also the drain on battery will be noticed).
Flex Apache does provide an answer to that with a specific set of components
for touch screens/mobile device but you'll have to make the switch yourself
and modify some code. Anyway you'll have to run some tests./

What may he mean with "lack of (complete) support for touch screens (and
also the drain on battery will be noticed)"?

Kind regards

Chris

I read that comment and I don't think they know what they are talking
about.  It is very easy to build a cross-platform (iOS + Android) with
Apache Flex.  There is very good support for touch screens and no, it is
not a drain on the battery.

Please try it out yourself so you can come to a conclusion of your own.

Thanks,
Om
