The question is really whether there is any point in building a Flex project, whatever tools you use.

If you want to build mobile apps, there is a very big point, I think Flex is the best cross-platform development SDK out there for iOS and Android development, likewise if you only need to deliver to desktop PCs, the Flex framework is very cool. But if you want to deliver to every browser on every device, the Flash Player is not going to do it, and that's the problem.

IOW, not much point in starting a project in Xerte 3.
The traction is elsewhere.

>>H5 player will deal with XOT, correct?
>Correct
Again, Xerte 3 will not play nice with the translator libraries then.


>>XOT is not using Flex framework, right?
>Right.
Ditto above.

More curious questions:

Xerte 3 is backwater at this point, no?
H5 player will deal with XOT, correct?
XOT is not using Flex framework, right?
