That paragraph suggests to me that you're not a big coder. The tools for developing in Flash runtime environments are certainly easier to use to create graphics heavy output, however you have a more control From what's coming out of Adobe, I'd expect them to be able to create the tools but its a case of whether is the market right now. > Until then I can see Diane's point though were until Flash becomes more > mainstream on the mobile devices you are limiting your app on which users can > use it if depends on Flash until more devices can support it. > > I have no doubt that the Adobe folks will be going head strong to make Flash > more available in 2010 for more devices and I am excited about that. > > You are right Sena I have not looked to in depth at the animation within > androids library's but last night I took good look at the Lunar Lander > example and how to animate within the Android's native library.

You should have no trouble designing your animations in most tools and then exporting the frames as pngs. Good Luck S
