Make your own iPad stylus: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/04/diy_soft_iphone_and_ipad_stylus.html What's this about re-downloading songs from iTunes? They've been DRM free for quite a while. iPhone and iPad have always had multitasking.. just not 3rd party multitasking. No Flash.. okay, but imagine the BLOAT that…
Yes, but that is still S.E.P. (Someone Else's Problem) If you port the Flash Player over to a mobile device, you don't have to go back and revise all of that content. The people who created that content have to go back and revise it. And technically, they don't NEED to revise it. It would just be a good idea for them to do…
Source - http://www.edge-online.com/features/gdc-semi-secret-talk-canabalt-flixel To me - admittedly a code layman - it doesn't seem all that dramatic after reading the above quote. If 2 guys can develop something that can translate 90% of their engine/API/whatever, hopefully 100% soon, then surely anyone else can develop…
Jesus Christ... Really? That's what I'm saying? Show me the sentence I wrote anything like "complete absence is better than having to tweak some code". Actually, show me anywhere in this thread where I personally advocated any mobile policy. And don't go 'reading between the lines' or some shit - I've been extremely clear…
Our largest client is Procter & Gamble, currently ranked #23 on the Fortune 500. They all but invented the marketing of consumer goods in America. We make our cases with them, but they know their business and they call the shots. If the media vendor they hire says Flash 8, we develop for Flash 8. AS2 does have some upsides…
no-ones suggesting people change their flash authoring process or remake stuff just for touchscreen input, just that apple invent some kind of cursor emulation system. edit: we can probably come up with some specific suggestions in this thread for the way it'd work, but really with apple's resources i can't believe they…
The first day I arrived to the US, I boxed up my iPhone and bought a Nexus One. But I'm a minority, Apple kids will always buy Apple... Even if Apple openly shat all over them. The lack of flash support is only so developers don't make flash games for the iPhone. Apple won't be able regulate the content and the…
Tom - you're thinking in terms of websites. Game development is a HUGE part of Flash, and mouse rollovers aren't exactly an integral part of most Flash games. Video is also a huge part of what Flash is used for. And even in terms of websites, the actual navigation is almost always done by clicking, which would mean that…
That is one dilligent employer ;) You should say to them, using that logic, where do you stop? Publishing to Flash Player 6 perhaps, using AS1? Which be probably be another 0.01 installation % and possibly 1 or 2 extra viewers. On the other hand I can somewhat see their point, if update prompts aren't feasible with banner…
Okay, that IS a more elegant way to do it, but pausing the video requires sending a command through the Flash app. If Apple had some sort of wrapper around all of the Flash they served, they might be able to send a pause command to the video, but I think that would require Hulu's devs to rebuild the player to accept…
