Is it possible to Convert Flex Application to HTML5
Hello all,
I have lots of MXML and ActionScript file. I have been tried to convert
these files to HTML/JS using FlaconJX and FlexJS. I like to ask if someone
has any success converting Flex application with FlexJS or FalconJX.
I have followed this instruction to configure the development
environment:https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Falcon+and+FalconJX+Developer+Setup
but I didn't manage to set the development environment.
Is it possible to convert Flex application to HTML5/JS using FlaconJX or
FlexJS?

Maybe this also helps:
http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/FalconJX-How-To-Use-td14824.html#a14841
Summary:
You have to remove all flex/flash dependencies from your AS3 code and you
have to replace your mx/spark components by FlexJS components. Depending on
your code base that could be more or less work.
All pure AS3 code without any dependencies to flex/flash should work out of
the box with FlexJS.
A flex/flash dependency could be identified by imports that start with e.g.
flash, spark or mx... e.g.:
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
Hope this helps,
Olaf

No.
MXML does not convert to HTML. In FlexJS it converts it to JS files.
You might be able to use the compiler to generate js that you can incorporate into other code.
We have been very happy with FlexJS. Why don’t you want to use the framework?

FlexJS also places you in the position to use HTML with AS3 [1]

I think there's no way to convert MXML to HTML automatically.
Hope this helps,
Olaf

If you plan to write your app in JS and only need FalconJX for the initial
conversion that's a possibility too, though it might not be the optimal one.
You might want to watch [1] Harbs' talk on how to get it to compile. You can
then use the created sources to build your own architecture on that.
Good luck!

Our plan is to migrate from Adobe Flex to HTML/JS but it is not to convert it
to FlexJS. I was trying to convert all the MXML and ActionScript we have to
HTML/JS using FalconJX or FlexJS. Now, I am asking if any possiblity of
converting the MXML to HTML and the actionScript and all the adobe libraries
to some JavaScript library. I have tried to use Jangroo to convert
actionscript to JS but jangaroo didn't convert the import libraries.

Hi Gudu,
The answer is yes and no.
Yes - You will be able in most cases convert your business logic which is
not have dependency to flash to FlexJS.
No - Unfortunately your UI need to be rewrite probably from scratch.
If you are going to write your own application I think everything what you
need is download Framework through the installer [1]. Then create your first
Hello World app in order to see how everything is working [2]. There couple
of IDE which has quite nice support [3][4].
Drop us a questions if you have any problems.

cause we are soon release FlexJS 0.8)

It is possible, we've been doing it.
Unless you want to modify the framework you don't need the developer setup.
This [1] should get you started.

Gudu,
Yes it is create, but as I stated in my post - You will be able to
automatically convert logic which do not have dependency to Flash. If you
have some library or separate business logic from you UI - That is something
which FalconJX should handle without the problem.
Flex UI need to be rewrite.
Yishay and Harbs is a good example - they are porting their Flex app to
FlexJS. You can watch Harbs presentation from FlexJS Summit [1]

So does it mean, FlexJS and FalconJX don't create HTML/CSS/JavaScript from
Flex Application. Some published paper described FalconJX and FlexJS as a
means to migrate Flex application to HTML5/JS application. If someone has
success migrating from Flex application to HTML5

Not completely, you can re-use your existing business logic and back end
serverice but view components you have to rewrite using FlexJS components
set.
