After a lot of time and hard work, it’s great to finally see the new “AdvancED Flash on Devices: Mobile Development with Flash Lite and Flash 10” book available on Amazon (and I’m sure soon many other outlets). The guys have done a great job in putting this comprehensive resource together and I’m looking forward to getting hold of a copy shortly.
Here’s a quick synopsis of what is covered:
Learn how to create sophisticated mobile applications and very cool experiences across a range of mobile platforms (Nokia, Sony Ericsson, BREW, Windows Mobile, Apple, and Google).
Learn best Flash and ActionScript practices that work across platforms and implementations
Learn all the latest advances in the Flash Lite platform
Learn about Flash Frameworks, including device widgets and U.I. components
Learn how to take advantage of Adobe CS4 extensions for mobile devices
Learn how to how to use Adobe’s latest version of Device Central
Mark Doherty has given some extensive thought to his initial impressions of the new HTC Hero Android device, which runs Flash Lite 3.1 in various implementations.
It’s a bit of a breakthrough Android device and the fact that Flash has been so highly marketed along with the device specs is something also note worthy.
Another video in my series “Developing with Flash Lite” has just been uploaded and is ready for viewing – “Animation in Flash Mobile Applications“. Animation can greatly enhance the user experience of mobile applications, and Adobe Flash, with its roots as an animation tool, has no lack of capability in this area. This episode looks at three methods of creating movement (motion tween, onEnterFrame() and the Tween Class) and how these can impact your Flash mobile application.
