Thank you Dianne Thanks for the information on Flash. It gave me the direction I needed and it is good to know where Flash and Android stand. In another year or two who knows right? I been studying the Lunar Lander example as far as the graphics and it looks like a good way to go and I started a

Hi Chris, Are you totally tied to wanting to do this using Flash or would you be fine with doing it in native code. If so it sounds pretty easy to implement without Flash. Or is there a lot more ActionScript you need to interact with? S On 29 Dec 2009, at 22:45, chris harper wrote: Hey

No not totally tied to Flash. It's just that Flash would have fit really well with what I wanted to do because I could have designed my characters and animated them in CS4 and they set it up really nice in CS4 to create .swf's for a mobile projects where I could have then ported the .swf into my

Sena - I picked up a book on writing Flash content for mobile devices and from I understand from the book is that FlashLite is based off of Flash 9. They are essentially the same thing. Where anything written for Flash 9 (with actionscript 2) can be run in FlashLite. That is my current

Hey Sena It looks like I have to do a little more research between Flash 9 and FlashLite. I will do that tonight. Thank you. Unfortunately I have the Sprint HTC HERO which as I recently found out is less open to find ROM updates. I will search for the Sense 2 that you referred to. I might get

Chris, sounds OK to me. I suppose using the WebView is to bridge between Flash and Java as you indicated and to allow instant application updates (instead of requiring install of a rich interface application). However, the plumbing looks awful, I think you'd agree. I've wondered if Adobe hasn't

I kept reading about how one of the biggest news about eclair coming out in 2010 is that support for Flash 10 (or ANY Flash for that matter) will be built into it. This does not appear to be the case for the fact that I download all the latest source code for Eclair, built and installed Eclair

Ok. It is becoming clear now. Flash is licensed per device. So even though you have different devices all running Android, only the ones that are licensed for Flash can implement it. Is that correct? I didn't mention that I do have an HTC Hero (as well as my android development phone). It is
