Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Flash future
I think the fact that this list is pretty inactive says it all. I'm freelancing at an agency right now who I make AIR apps for. I used to make a lot of them for a few years, but recently I think they are looking more and more at html5/js solutions. A few years ago I used to make Flash websites for them, but never any more; then I made AIR apps, and now that seems on the slide... it's a shame for all the reasons we already know. The only other work I get with Flash is the occasional banner ad! I'm sure there are still some niche areas for Flash, but largely it feels dead from where I sit.

Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Flash future
This is probably a moot point, but being the platform flash is and its ability to manipulate objects and apply code to the interactions of the objects in an easy user friendly layout, it would seem that Adobe would look into enabling flash to pick if it used ActionScript or Javascript or even a jQuery port. Along with choosing a flash stage or a DOM stage. I for one would relish in the ability to use flash as a html creator, html5, DHTML or otherwise. Being able to layout HTML DOM elements the same way as a movieclip, or adding DHTML timelines inside a DIV and having flash export the files to make it work in every browser. That would be epic. Its not about the language or the file it exports, for me, Flash the application is just a superlative website creation tool. SWF or not. In the past flash came in and did what HTML could not. Ok, so you lead the pack for a while and they caught up. So now join the pack and take it to the next level. That's what Flash is/was about... t! he next level. 2ยข Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com On May 14, 2013, at 4:55 AM, David Hunter wrote: I think the fact that this list is pretty inactive says it all.

[Flashcoders] Stolen Laptop: Adobe Support Laughable
My laptop was stolen last week. Adobe sucks! Their answer to my stolen laptop and software problem is that because I registered my software, they will give me upgrade pricing. The other companies I've contacted for help (Apple, MOTU) went out of their way to help me get back where I was. Adobe seems to want to profit from my loss. They suck. Big time. All I need at this point is a link to download Flash CS4 (I know, it's old--so what, it's all I need.) I also have a CS3 suite. That installed in my new computer, but online updates weren't available. Support @ Adobe said it's too old, I'm outta luck. Google led me to a solution--I changed my system clock to the year 2011, and bam, suddenly all the CS3 updates I needed were available. Now, I'm struggling with Flash CS4. I can't open my projects with CS3. One tech support guy told me to ask to borrow a friend's installer disc and then use my serial number. Ridiculous. I've spent over 2 hours arguing with Adobe support techs and managers and all they can do is offer me upgrade pricing on the new cloud product. I can't believe it. Any better suggestions?

Re: [Flashcoders] Stolen Laptop: Adobe Support Laughable
If they won't help you, that's probably your best bet. Just get CS4 disk or the digital files (which are about 6 or 7 gig) and use your serial number. Sorry. :( John R.

[Flashcoders] IOS hooks
Howdy, Does anyone know how to talk to the UINavigationController Class in IOS. I have an app in CS6 for iPad and now the client wants my to utilize the ActionBar at the top with the native back and done buttons, etc. Native Extensions doesn't seem to have what I need and I don't see any examples out there of how to approach this. Have any of you tried this or seen an example of how to access/link/hook into this class to display and react to the action/selection of that back or done button? Thanks, John John R.
