I found tutorials for developing Actionscript Mobile application using Feathers UI,Is it possible to do Actionscript web application and desktop application using Feathers UI?
Of course. "Light-weight, skinnable, and extensible UI controls for both mobile and desktop applications."
Feathers is for use with the Starling 2D framework, so you will need to have an understanding of how to use that.
Whilst Feathers seems perhaps more targeted at AIR Mobile deployment, it can still be used to target Flash Player and deployed on the web.

I am developing an starling mobile air application.
I want to target Android and IOS devices.
I am searching for a UI frame work for starling mobile air application which give responsiveness just like in HTML responsive web site / web app.
I have googled a lot for it.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can try Gazman SDK. Its basically what your are looking for.
I have an HTML5 game in the works and was wondering if it would make sense to try and use Xamarin products for deploying my app to iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
Do Xamarin products support this?
Would I gain anything from using Xamarin products as a wrapper? Ease of deployment, native API access, etc.
How would performance be for a simple side scrolling 2D platformer?
Xamarin could be used to wrap an HTML game, but I don't think it makes sense. Bear in mind that with Xamarin you would have to rewrite the UI component for each platform, so in your case you'd manually have to render within a UIWebView on iOS, a WebView on Android, and so on for each platform you want to support.
Possibly look into other solutions, such as PhoneGap, which are squarely aimed at wrapping applications written using the HTML stack. These are likely to have solved many of the problems that you would encounter by trying, using Xamarin or otherwise, to make a wrapper yourself.
I am working on a POS kind of application and now the requirement is to integrate various devices with the application like camera,Magnetic card reader,Printers etc. Can any one share link that How to use HTML5 to integrate various devices with the application built using HTML5. ?
There is no HTML5 API for cameras, card readers or the other hardware devices you mention. Probably the best option is to create a 'hybrid' application using technologies such as PhoneGap.
PhoneGap executes your HTML5 application within a native wrapper. This allows it to expose hardware functionality to your code via JavaScript API.
Currently we have application in Silverlight which contains a dashboard. The dashboard was developed in Silverlight.
Now we want to migrate the Silverlight dashboard app to HTML 5.0 so that the app can run on iPhone, iPad & android phones.
How we can migrate Silverlight application to HTML 5?
Also, do we need to use any third party custom control for dashboards in HTML 5.0?
You need to convert you graphics from XAML to SVG. If you have the designs for this project, then you might want to take a look at Adobe Illustrator CS5 HTML5 Pack, which lets you "Save As SVG". You should keep everything vector based so it scales to iPhone, iPad and Android.
Then you need to transfer your UI behaviour to javascript. I suggest using KnockoutJS by Steve Sanderson. I would combine this with jQuery for ease of use.
As #Polynomial mentioned in his comment, there is no "convert to HTML" package per se, but with a little know-how you will be able to migrate.
Take a look at this project http://www.cshtml5.com/ . It might help in some simple cases.
This may not solve your problems at this moment, but there is a project under development to rebuild Silverlight without using a plugin. The project has been under development for almost a year and the website just recently launched # http://fayde.wsick.com/.

I'm not too familiar with HTML5 so does anyone know if HTML5 will be able to access NFC chips built into mobile devices? Or, can someone suggest another way to do this using some other method? My goal is to produce a cross platform HTML5 web app that can access NFC functionality on NFC equipped phones. I have looked into mobile frameworks like PhoneGap but although they have NFC on their roadmap, they do not have any timelines nor implementation details to offer.
Thanks.
NFC access via some proprietary framework may be possible, but I don't think it's currently built into the HTML 5 spec itself.
PhoneGap uses HTML5 for the main UI of the mobile application, and then takes specific code that you write (javascript API I think), which is then translated into native code for each of the mobile devices it is ported to. So, one option you have is building your main UI in HTML5, and then displaying that in a WebView or equivalent inside a native application, then accessing NFC specific features via the native application and passing it to your webapp via a dynamic URL like http://mysampleapp.com/NFC/somestringofdatafromthenfcthatiwillparsetouseinmyhtml5app
If you are using Phonegap 3.0 and the Cordova CLI you can easily integrate RFID reading capabilities through NFC by using Chariot Solutions Phonegap NFC plugin from Github and following the steps laid out by Øystein Heimark/Dogu in the referenced blog post.
