Ah, for those interested in developing for mobile by using Flash/Air, I 
suggest to check this forum:

Get started with Starling or another Stage3D based framework (through 
direct rendermode) from the start, and don't bother with CPU or GPU 
rendermodes.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript lives on.

2012-09-19 Thread David Hunter
I have made loads of AIR apps for tablets and display stands. They are not
for public download, they are all for marketing events that guests at an
event use or trained staff use. I use Flash CS5.5 and we normally use
Samsung tablets as compiling to Android is so much quicker and easier than
to iOS, and it is easy to pull data off the device. The company I work for
on those apps is really happy with the speed and flexibility. I would love
to work on an app that was actually available in a store to download by the
public.

Having said that If I am also looking at web apps and experimenting with
jQuery Mobile and CSS media queries, and I try to avoid flash when making
websites.

I agree with others about Actionscript 3 being a fantastic language that
should have a continued life. And Adobe need to get some new marketing
people— they have handled all of this so badly!

Best,

David
