RE: [POLL] - Must Flex 5 be a complete rewrite or can flex code base be re-architecture?
Option 2 ... +1
I would think the community is already based around the current framework. Having more deployed targets based on what we have currently sounds like a way to broaden our target audience.
How about we continue to correct and fix the current Flex framework. Could we start a new namespace that we could use to build up a partial new framework for a future transition to? It just feels like rewriting everything from scratch would take a long time and would basically be a separate project.
I'm also envisioning the amount of work the developers using Flex will have to go through to convert to a completely new framework.

Subject: [POLL] - Must Flex 5 be a complete rewrite or can flex code base be re-architectured?
After several discussions about the difficulty to break UIComponent for
example, and the whole re-architecturing of flex SDK issue.
I'd like to launch this poll to see if there's a consensus about it.
So in your opinion flex SDk:
1- Need a complete re write
2- Can be re architectured from the current code base
Thanks

Option 2 ... +1 this time, the next we NEED a complete re write

As an extra complication, I would hope that whatever the end state is, it supports client certificates from the OS's certificate store to make SSL connections. Currently browser based apps and Air apps can do this easily.

If you find the magic solution fine :)
But let me doubt of such a magic solution, when i see that Adobe did
tried this path. When FalconJS is only prototype and far to be
efficient. When Haxe made some changes to AS3 especially to be able to
compile efficiently to many targets.

To be clear, would the intention here to be a limited subset for
multi-platform, with everything maintained for swf legacy?
Perhaps dumping mx and keeping spark, or some subtler equiv? Or to have mx
as an additional module only available on swf?

I would say it's possible given how it's compiled. So having a robust
compiler or different compilers for different target environments could be
possible.

"Having more deployed targets based on what we have currently"
But is it possible? thats the question...

Could we start a new namespace that we could use to build up a partial new
framework for a future transition to? It just feels like rewriting
everything from scratch would take a long time and would basically be a
