Below are the steps for Converting an existing Flex 3.0 or an older application to Run on mobile:

1. Create a mobile project
2. Add the MX.swc to the library path of your mobile project. 
3. Copy the code to this mobile project. Now, you would be able to use the MX Libraries in your mobile project.  
4. Test the performance on the mobile device, if it is not acceptable or very slow.  
   
1. Start replacing the MX components with Spark components until performance is acceptable in Step 4. 
5. In case you feel, the application is not very usable in small mobile screen, 
1. try re-designing & re-implementing your application using only mobile supported components.
2. You may consider reuse of some of your existing code to same effort & time. If very little reuse is possible you may consider evaluating development using other frameworks (for eg. Titanium, PhoneGap or HTML 5)
