Online Flash Lite Packager is back!
Great news folks. Forum Nokia’s Online Flash Lite Packager is live again. To be honest I was starting to fear the worst but true to their word the boys and girls at Forum Nokia have wheeled out a new version. So if you fancy converted any of your existing Flash projects to Flash Lite and […]
Fight: Flash Player 10.1 v HTML 5
Here’s a video I’ve been meaning to post for a few weeks now. It shows performance comparisons for Flash Player 10.1 against HTML 5 across both the Mac and the Google Nexus One. In order to perform the test a simple particle engine was written that was easily translatable between ActionScript and Canvas. The tests […]
Flash for Android
It’s getting closer. The first public betas for both Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2 for Android are almost upon us. If you’re interested then sign-up to be notified via the Flash Player 10.1 or Adobe AIR 2 beta pages. It’ll be interesting to see what the performance is generally like when browsing Flash […]
Has Apple just nuked the Flash iPhone Packager?
So Apple has just changed its developer agreement for those wishing to access the iPhone Developer Program and it could spell the end for Adobe’s iPhone Packager before it has even been released. Here’s the worrying snippet: 3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or […]
Flash: One Web. Any Screen.
Well that’s the impression Adobe are trying to give with this pretty neat video that I spotted on Mark Doherty’s blog. It’s not quite there yet but with the arrival of Flash Player 10.1 expect to see Flash on most tablets and many of the smart phone’s coming to market.
Improving Flash performance on Mac
Poor performance is probably one of the biggest complaints regarding Flash on Mac, but is anything being done about it or was Steve Jobs correct when he accused Adobe of being lazy? Well after reading a post from Tinic Uro, an engineer working on the Flash Player, it seems that both Adobe and Apple have […]
AS3 iPhone Components
Pop over to NoRestForTheWicked and you’ll find a set of nifty ActionScript 3 iPhone components by Nick Jonas. He’s decided to start small but what’s there looks great and should come in handy for anyone wishing to prototype potential iPhone UIs in Flash or for those simply wanting to get a head start with their […]
Flash Lite 4
Spotted an interesting article on Scott Janousek’s blog stating that Flash Lite 4 is now available from Calsoft, one of Adobe’s partners responsible for getting the Flash Lite run-time working across various chipsets. So why another version of Flash Lite? Isn’t Flash Player 10.1 for mobile going to make Flash Lite redundant? Well not quite […]
Help shape the future of Flash
Been holding your breath for Flash Professional CS5? Well Adobe have finally announced that it’ll be available from April 12th. CS5 has an impressive list of new features but I’m sure as always there will be someone out there who has just had a great idea that isn’t going to appear in this release. To be honest I think the […]
Our new programmer hates Flash
Our new programmer Ian had managed to avoid using Flash since arriving at WeeWorld, but his luck ran out the other day when he was asked to work on some legacy ActionScript 2 code. I had a bad feeling he wasn’t going to enjoy it, partly because he’d just recently declared C# his new all-time favourite […]
