Flex and AIR 4.0
The first Adobe AIR 4.0 beta was just published to Adobe Labs today (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashruntimes/air/ ). One aspect of it
that I believe may directly affect us is that as of 4.0, ASC 2.0 will be
retired as a separate download, and will now be the only compiler. How will
this affect us being able to overlay AIR with the Flex SDK going forward?

Hi Nick,
I’m wondering the same question.
Adobe CC design tools like Flash CC dropped support for exporting FXG format, and they haven’t provide a alternative yet, which is insane!
Now they make the ASC 2 the only compiler for AIR, which makes Flex SDK harder to follow.
Adobe just keep dropping the solutions that works (like Flex and FXG), and chasing after the solutions that doesn’t work (like Edge).

Exactly! So there's "nothing special" about the upcoming releases,
something which the original poster seems to imply. I'm trying to
prevent another "Flex is dead" outbreak.

Thanks for the tests Erik. I wasn't trying to start another frenzy, I must
have just misread the announcement because I took it as them replacing the
compiler with ASC 2.0 but if it ends up being as was pointed out by others
and it being that they are simply merging the two, then all is good in the
world. :-)

The tests with the betas are now part of the regular Mustella runs, so
every fourth run - about once every two days - will be a full run with
the beta players. That way we keep an eye on compatibility of commits
with future versions of the players.

Erik, thanks for doing the test! Great idea outbreak prevention too. ;-)

So it only contains bugs we don't know about or are already in JIRA :-)

To put everyone at ease: the full set of Mustella tests (39,000 of
them!) passes on FP 12 and AIR 4. That means the SDK works with those
versions the same as with all earlier versions.
Nothing to see here, move along ;-)

Probably you misread the following:
"The Actionscript Compiler 2.0 has been incorporated into the AIR SDK
4.0 (named “AIR SDK 4.0 & Compiler”) and retired as a separate download
from Adobe Labs on March 14, 2013".
Here's nothing new to us. AIR SDK is still published in 2 variants: with
ASC 2.0 and without it. I don't see anything about ASC 2.0 becoming the
only compiler.

I am not sure what the concern is. I do see separate downloads for Flex
developers here [1]
It does not look like we have to change something with the Flex SDK or the
Installer, yet.
Thanks,

Do we know this to be the case? Previous first alphas of AIR also did only include the newest compile but the Flex compatible one was added in later releases.
The change in numbering system (eg basically dropping minor version number and only using major ones) might be a bit of a pain.
Thanks,
