Re: [flexcoders] couple questions about android / air
1. You need to install the air and then your application in order to work on the phone. Air you can download from the market If i remember correctly. 2. I developed and deployed used Flash CS5. Check the adobe labs there are lots of air for android stuff there. It probably tell you how to do it step by step. 3. Have no idea never used Java on Android, but again check the labs there is documentation there.

It seems as if compiling makes a regular .apk but I've also read that there was something necessary on a phone... 2) Flex 4 can or can't create the necessary projects? Awhile back it was necessary to start with a flash project but unsure where that stands now. 3) does an android / air app have all the same framework intents that a java app would? For example, I'm dealing specifically with something that works with Alarm Manager; I'd normally set up an intent that would repond to my Alarmmanager setup, and it would respond when fired; air projects work the same way? Appreciate any quick answers; as these things sometimes go am under the gun with multiple projects. Thanks! Garry Schafer grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com portfolio: www.grimmwerks.com/
Re: [flexcoders] Couple questions
Bruce, there are a mass of powerpoint to flash converters out there - google is your friend. The one I've worked with produced fairly large files and the output is an AS1/AS2 swf. If I were writing a slide player, I'd probably use Flex, though for a slide player it could probably just as well be all in actionscript so Flash or Flex is neither here nor there.

Are there extensions for Flash or Flex to convert a powerpoint file to something that would play in the Flash Player?

One thing I should add - when I was researching powerpoint to flash converters a few months back - none of them produced AS3 swfs, so controlling the playback from Flex (or Flash AS3) is a little problematic - you'd need an intemediary AS2 swf to talk between the runtime systems. Some of the converters include players for playing back the converted files. Eventually I wrote a player using AS2. Good luck.

Re: [flexcoders] Couple questions
For online presentations you could try http://www.sliderocket.com . It's a commercial service but if you will be putting regularly presentations online, I think this will help you a lot to create great ones!
