[FlexJS] End-of-life of the Flash Player

Hi,
I would like to ask if the FP EOL announcement has any effects on FlexJS?!
Do you think it is still worth to follow the conditional compiling approach
or is it maybe time to 
abandon the swf side in order to concentrate on JS?

Thanks,
Olaf

Good question.

For the immediate, I don’t think we need to do anything.

I do think there is still value in a swf target, but that target should probably become an AIR target rather than a browser target. Having a single code base which can target AIR and HTML in the browser will probably fill a real lack.

Thanks,
Harbs

I don't think there's consensus on flash support in the community. Two things
at least have not changed: we might want AIR support, and we want FlexJS to
be platform agnostic in architecture. SWF support can help in both these
regards.
