next version flex ,odenamed “Hero”

　　hope ,  the flex will be support fully to android ,   Adobe is currently building new mobile development capabilities into the Flex framework. The next version of Flex, codenamed "Hero", will enable developers to create application experiences that translate well across platforms, and make it easy to build applications that work well on a wide variety of mobile devices. "Hero" will augment a number of existing Flex components with mobile- and touch-optimized skins and functionality, and will also add new components that support mobile-specific UI patterns. Previously, Adobe had investigated splitting off mobile development into a new branch of the Flex framework code-named "Slider". However, the rapid increases in performance on smartphone-class devices over the past year, combined with the highly optimized performance of Adobe runtimes on these devices, now make it feasible to support mobile use cases directly with the core Flex framework. While previous generations of smartphones had faster hardware than lower-end feature phones, they were still not well suited to highly interactive, graphically intensive content. With the advent of high-resolution screens and touch interaction on mobile devices, the landscape has changed significantly. Touchscreen smartphones now typically include 600MHz-1GHz CPUs and OpenGL ES 2.0-based GPUs to accelerate both raw script performance and rendering. Running both on the desktop and on this new class of devices, the Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR runtimes have also introduced significant performance improvements. General improvements to the core Flash virtual machine over the past few releases, including just-in-time (JIT) compilation and improved memory management, have improved script execution speed and reduced application startup times. On mobile devices, the runtimes take advantage of available GPU capabilities to boost rendering performance during animations and scrolling, and include optimizations to reduce CPU usage (and therefore improve battery life) when in the background, among numerous other improvements. (For more information on runtime improvements, see The Engineering Behind Flash Player 10.1 entry on the Flash Player team blog.) Taken together, these factors now make it possible to build performant mobile applications using Flex without major architectural changes in the framework. Thus, rather than split off a separate framework solely for mobile development, the Flex "Hero" framework will support development on both desktop and mobile devices, and set the stage for extending Flex-based development to other classes of devices in the future. This unified approach will enable developers to leverage much of the power of the existing Flex framework in mobile applications, including key features such as dynamic layout, view states, data access, and Spark UI components.
