Apple Blocks Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler in Latest SDK Agreement

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Dear Apple,

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Why are you blocking Adobe’s new conversion application for iphone and ipad? This could be a make or break for smartphones. If Adobe starts working with google or MS, I fear Apple will lose the smartphone war. While Apple is supporting HTML5, it is years away from replacing flash, if it ever does.

Adobe Flash: AS1 Button Actions

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Here are the button actions we use in our class when we are using actionscript 1. Remember we learn both actionscript 1 and 3, which are used differently.

Button actions go on the button, not the keyframe:

Play button:

on(release){
play();
}

Stop button:

on(release){
stop();
}

Go to button:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(“myMovie”);
}

Take note that myMovie is a frame label.

Actionscript 1+2 vs Actionscript 3

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

In my multimedia class I am teaching my students AS1 and AS3. I give the students examples of each. Now, what I found is that 20 of my 20 students are doing their final projects using AS1. Even the ones with programming experience. What does this tell me? Nothing that I dont already think. Adobe needs to continue to support AS1 because a lot of people prefer it. Plus those with limited programming experience can be more successful with flash. IMO, AS3 is only more powerful for larger projects, but not small projects.
