Hi,

> Is there any table or similar mapping FlexJS vs AS (classes, =
components, properties, methods...)? =20

There is one of the wiki but only at the component level. Properties and =
methods are not always going to match the names of the FlexSDK and their =
may be some features missing on the FlexJS side.

> I have been fiddling with this for a couple of years now trying to =
convert existing large projects from Flex / FlashBuilder to FlexJS, but =
keep stumbling on missing bits.  I know and appreciate it is open source =
but, as I am not so technically competent, the messages back and forth =
are disconcerting for someone looking for a complete solution.

I don't believe there will ever be a magic recompile FlexSDK to FlexJS =
so some effort will be required hopefully less over time. However most =
of your code (business logic and the like) will currently recompile and  =
it=E2=80=99s still far less effort compared to rewriting your =
application in another framework / language.

While FlexJS is currently a little rough around the edges (i'st not a =
1.0 release yet), and you should expect to run into some issues using =
it, there=E2=80=99s not a single issue that I=E2=80=99ve run into that =
couldn't be sorted out one way or another. One or two (such as Container =
padding) don=E2=80=99t have perfect workarounds, but in all cases it's =
not a major concern.

Thanks,
Justin=
