Justin Mclean commented on FLEX-33445:
--------------------------------------

Adobe has released a version of AIR 3.7 that should work with Apache Flex. The Flex SDK is "pure AS3" and you can write application only using AS3 if you want. The issue is that the new ASC 2.0 compiler from Adobe (including in AIR 3.6 onwards) doesn't support MXML. Apache Flex has no control over this. All we can do is ask Adobe to fix this issue which they have done for AIR 3.7 and have stated they will do for AIR 3.8.

> Hi,
> The latest AIR SDK 3.7 is not compatible with Flex anymore.
> I voted for improvement on the bug tracker adobe, but it is only postpones the problem.
> Adobe says to accept only "pure AS3".
> My request would be to recompile the libraries FLEX "pure AS3", to make them compatible with the latest version of the AIR SDK and the latest AS3 compiler.
> If Adobe really does not want to make it compatible FLEX and AIR, Flex can continue to evolve without MXML, but "pure AS3".
> It would be pure me the least worst solution that migrate our projects in MXML to "pure AS3", rather than lose the FLEX framework because it is not compatible with the latest compiler AS3.
> What do you think, is it feasible?
> Or are there technical limitations to migrate to FLEX "pure AS3".
