The JS code outside of the js folder was actually generated by FalconJS from the AS files in FlexJSTest. Again, the FlexJSTest.as and MyInitialView.as are hand-generated from FlexJSTestMXML.mxml and MyInitialViewMXML.mxml since Falcon can't generate such code yet, but I already have code that works like that an and plan to integrate it into Falcon soon. So this portion of the demo is real. Given a set of AS files that generate a running (albeit simple) SWF (you can compile FlexJSTest.as into a SWF), you can run the same AS through FalconJS, set up an index.html to load the JS equivalents of the AS components and see the same app run in the browser. I have it working in FireFox on the Mac. I have not tried other browsers yet.

And then, if you want, you can install Cordova/PhoneGap, set up a simple project, and swap out the default index.html and .js files for the ones in the example folder and watch the same UI show up in one of the targets for Cordova. I got it to work on Android. I haven't tried IOS yet.

Building the example

• Create a Flex Library project in FlashBuilder for the src/FlexJSUI folder. It should output a FlexJSUI.swc
• Create an Actionscript-Only project in FlashBuilder for the src/FlexJSTest/FlexJSTest.as folder and file. Don't use the .mxml file as the application as the compilers don't know how to codegen in the "new way". FlexJSTest.as should compile into a runnable SWF. A click on the button should change the text. Note that the SWF is only about 11K!
• Now copy all of the .as files to a folder somewhere.
• Copy the FlexJSUI.swc as well.
• Run FalconJS on the FlexJSTest.as file. You should get a set of .JS files.
• Make a subfolder called js
• Copy the adobe.js from the FalconJS source tree to the js folder
• Copy the framework.js from the FlexJS/js folder to the js folder
• Copy the index.html from the example/FlexJSTest folder
• Run the index.html in a browser (I've seen it run in FireFox on Mac for me).

To get it to run using Cordova/PhoneGap, please download, install and create a simple PhoneGap application according to their "Getting Started" documentation. I used Cordova 2.2.0 and the Android Getting Started guide.
In the simple application sources, I simply replaced the default index.html and JS files with the ones generated above and it ran and worked in an emulator. I haven't tried it on an actual device yet.
