not supporting flex means killing flash. Huge number of developers have shifted to flex and that's what made flash so strong.

flex sdk is open source so even if adobe decides to leave it. It can be further improved by anybody. Flex is just a set of classes based on basic actionscript. Adobe will never take such a risk. People will stop trusting Adobe.

Is Adobe thinking like that is it possible to close flex???

Adobe believes that everything that we do in flex can be handled by HTML5 in future. So they are in a process to donate flex sdk to Apache Software Foundation. But at the same time Adobe has also promised the support and development of future Flex SDK releases by Adobe engineers. Adobe will also keep on developing the Flash builder for any future releases of Flex sdk. This does not mean end of Flex or Flash at all. HTML5 is just in a development phase yet. No proper tools are available for development and testing . All browsers also does not support it yet. So it will take many years before HTML5 can come close to Flash. Flex developers does not need to fear at all :)

Hi,
i have a problem, i was using Flex 4.5.1. Need to develop an Alarm application for iphone and android. I was researching with google and Adobe site and found we have to use Local Notification class to do an Alarm App. But Flex 4.5.1 is not supporting native functions and herd adobe has launched 4.6 which support native function and i converted to 4.6. Now the same problem here also, there is no default classes and get an example script from Adobe Blog itself which has the native Local Notification Class. But there they used just very simple method and used button click to dispatch the notification event. I searched with Apple SDK there they used an method and class called Scheduler to schedule an event and triggers then by automatic at particular time. But with flex i don't see that method. Could you please advice me can we do this with Flex and how? if possible with an example.
