Hi,
Not sure that's really the right place for it, but... I'm wondering what
are your thoughts about that.
Which Flash Developer has never had a struggle with Flash Player
performance and garbage collection?
I'm not surprised apple doesn't want flash on their iPhone because of
performance issues. You can say not it is not true, it is because of
their PDF renderer, and they have a flash player running on the iPhone
in their lab, blah blah. But the Flash Player is a slow virtual machine,
isn't that right?
Even AIR applications are always kind of slow, not as quick and reactive
as a desktop application should be, and this because of the Flash
Player. Just resizing a window, select text or other simple action is
not as reactive a real desktop application should be.
When I see what the Unity3D player (and very lightweight in terms of
file size) can render, WOW. Yes the Flash Platform has wonderful tool
and framework to create applications, but how long before someone is
coming all these tools (such as AIR, the Flex framework, layouts and
components)? Maybe Unity? Maybe another?
On the iPhone you can't see a Flash site or a Unity3D site, if I'm not
wrong unity has created a tool to convert Unity application to iPhone
application (not web-based then), but... where the hell is that Flash
Player converter to create iPhone application from AS code? What is
Adobe doing about that? How can 35 people from Unity can be more
reactive than Adobe? Does Adobe have a problem with the Flash virtual
machine?
With today's computer, how can a virtual machine be that slow? And I'm
not talking about web-based application that can limited by the browser,
but also AIR application.
Even if Flash will be here for a great bunch of years, I don't see a
real good future unless they re-write a real new Virtual Machine that is
taking all the power you can use from a computer.
If I'm not wrong Flash is running on Google Android phone? Is it working
well?
You might say I'm completely wrong, fine, I dont know everything. I'm
just asking questions. I'm just wondering what's going because I have to
struggle about Flash Player performance.
What do you think? If the Flash Player a great virtual machine or will
it be overwhelmed by other technologies if Adobe does not react? Is
there something I'm missing? Flash Community is a wonderful one, I'd
like to think the Flash Platform will evolve.
