Apple's "FLASH KILLER" App

Will Apple (or someone) please make a Flash killer? Just as Final Cut Pro was a breathe of fresh air to the nonsense of Avid & Premiere, we need a simliar thing to happen to Adobe Flash.
FLASH KILLER APP
- A vector brush tool that's not like drawing with a tube of toothpaste. Professional content requires professional tools.
- The ability both import and export between other applications & common formats seamlessly.
          - Ability to import and export layered files (PSD/TIF) between other apps, including layers within nested timelines.
            Most workflows are circular with other apps, not linear.
                   ( http://web.me.com/jedoralive/techSupport/NESTING_FOLDERS.html )
- HTML5 and SWF compatibility
- An artist friendly interface (What pages was to MSword)
- 3D compatibility
- An artist friendly coding language (this is one of the only things Adobe Flash has gotten right).
- Image Frame mode (option to see images in frames).
- Storyboard Frames View mode (Ability to turn your timeline into a full screen storyboard. Can drag and drop frames where desired. Great for brainstorming and sketching something out beforehand, then stepping back to look at it during creation. Toggleable Timeline < > Storyboard Views. *Could add a slider to adjust how many frames it counts before making a new storyboard preview.
- Smart Libary Pasting. In Flash you either get to keep the existing symbols, or replace them with new ones when pasting from one doc to another. In my experience, when you paste something you often want BOTH things in there. I'd definitely include that very basic option.
Anyone else? What do you wish Flash could do?

HTML5 support via iOS is extended yet again with an updated webkit in iOS 5.

Why doesn't Apple develop a "Killer App" like Android

Why doesn't Apple develop a "Killer App" like Android to remove all apps with one touch rather than having to hit the "minus" on each app for removal?

If you think this is a "Killer App/Feature", tell Apple:

There is no one from Apple here.

External XML files in Flash iPhone apps

Hi everyone. I know that apple has loosened up on what is and isn't allowed on the app store these days, such as flash. I was thinking of writing an app that would call upon a web based xml file to call up pictures to display in the iPhone.
I know Apple doesn't allow apps that call upon external scripts but it's not an executable script, its a list of images and where they are stored. Does anybody have any input on whether Apple may have a problem with this?
Cheers

don't know.
I'm not sure of the differences between actionscript in flash and javascript in the browser but you could call for an XML file to be sent as json data from the script if accessing external XML files directly is not allowed.
Problem is that XML can contain anything you want it too... it could contain a script itself.

Apple symbol flashing on and off

Phone won't turn on and apple symbol flashing on and off

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. Restore with your backup.
5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it. (Try DFU Mode)
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Unable to kill apps, icons won't wiggle

Trying to kill apps; but, icons on bottom platform will not wiggle. Now, when I hold down "platform" buttons, x's in a black box will appear on random apps above platform - not all the apps, just a few here and there. Very weird. I have tried shutting down/re-booting several times; I have checked to make sure that none of my apps are paused anywher - short of that, is there anything else that I can do?
Thanks!

btw, closing or "killing" those apps doesn't do anything, esp. wrt battery since you're not killing anything in the first place - they are not running apps.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211
the list is only a list of recently used apps.
what apps can run in the background is by design - only native apple apps and a few 3rd party apps for music, gps etc. all others hibernate and do not run in the background.

How to kill apps in ipod touch 5th gen with new ios7

Double-click the Home button to bring up the app screen, then swipe upwards on the app.

is there an app that automatically kills apps in the background after a while.
None I know of. I don't believe that the software development kit would allow someone to write such an app.

Safari 7.0.4 Flash in-app Ad issues

Safari 7.0.4 does not block the In-app flash ads... I tried Glimmberblocker, Safari extension, actually downloaded safari adblock from their site. Non of them works. Anyone know how to block the flash in-app ads??? I mean before you start a video there is stupid commerical ads playing. I dont want to use other browsers besides Safari. But Apple really need to fix this ASAP! or if anyone figured out please let me know!!! Thanks so much!

Basically look at the comparison between Safari 7.0.4 & Google Chrome. The in-app flash ad is blocked automatically when I use chrome browser, however safari 7.0.4 starts automatically with ad while adblocker is installed. It is not from extension, i actually tried the extension and it did the same thing. I went to their main site and downloaded, but the result is same. See pictures below.

Your favorite Flash based apps ?

I'm writing an article on the unexpected and underestimated power of using Flash to develop apps for the iPhone/iPad. It seems that most developers and designers are still under the "No Flash" mantra of Steve Jobs. However, it is hard to find good examples of Flash based apps, since they're simply not promoted as such in the App Store. It also seems that the number of available Flash based apps is not that impressive, judging by the (lack of) developers talking about it on the web or in forums. I just find stumble upon stale pages on the old debate or even older pre-CS5 techniques...
There used to be this list:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/
But it refers to the new Packager, now.
So, who can help me out ?
What's your favorite Flash app for iOS ?
Are there any lists or spots where they all flock together ?
UPDATE: Oops, I didn't scroll deep enough in the topic list to find out there's already another thread that touts examples of Flash based apps. However, your suggestions are welcome, of course !

Workaround found: Install Adobe Flash Player.app seems to be damaged

Like many other Mac users, today I tried to update to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. The downloaded Install Adobe Flash Player.app (v3.3.9.0) seems to be damaged. It seems to have been inappropriately altered so its code-signing no longer works with the Mac OS X Gatekeeper. Even worse, switching the Gatekeeper off won't give any better chance to run the Installer.
This is what the Console tells:
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 coreservicesd[65]: Application App:"Install Adobe Flash Player" [ 0x0/0x7b07b] @ 0x0x7f93206ca360 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs ( ( ASN:0x0-0x7d07d:) ), so denying.
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 WindowServer[127]: [cps/setfront] Failed setting the front application to Install Adobe Flash Player, psn 0x0-0x7b07b, securitySessionID=0x186a5, err=-13066

Google pointed me beside others to this page which informs that users won't have a real chance to fix it:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62707/how-to-get-installers-not-to-hang-on-waitin g-for-other-installations-to-complet
It seems as if this isn't new to Adobe:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1151807
Counting this and the big bunch of error reports in this forum, I guess you Flash developer guys here at Adobe should check and fix the Installer soon.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
Here is a workaround that worked for me: Download the Flash Player archive 12.0.0.44 from this Archive page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player% 20archives
When it is unzipped, you will find a folder named fp_12.0.0.44_archive in your Downloads folder. Open its subfolder 12_0_r0_44, and run the flashplayer_12_0r0_44_mac.dmg.

I have upgraded to Yosemite but had this problem prior to that. What I did find that work was to use the Disk Utility.app to recreate the dmg file.
Try this:
Right click on the dmg in Finder.
Choose: Open With->Disk Utility.app
Once open:
Select the dmg image at the bottom left in the list view.
Choose First Aid tab
Choose Verify
Choose Repair
On the Top Toolbar choose Convert
Use standard selections and place the new image on the Desktop
Dbl click on new DMG image file and it should work.

Is there any plan to create a HTML5 shell for flash player apps & interactive elements?

Is there any plan to create a HTML5 shell for flash player apps and elements? The canvas option is very limited and many apps & old, interactive flash elements no longer work on most mobile devices.

HTML5 is the "anti-flash", so to speak. It requires no plug-ins. HTML5 is MP4 which is QuickTime video. That's the "shell" for it.
Steve Jobs said in 2006, when iOS was first released, that "playing Flash content is processor consumptive and drains batteries in mobile devices, reducing their life." That's why Apple iOS devices have never been compatible with Flash, and also why Android dropped support for the technology in June of 2012.
Android has "Dolphin" and "Puffin" browsers, which render Flash content (video and animations) "server side" to reduce the load on mobile devices running Android. Likewise, Apple has "SkyFire" which works the same way, but is designed specifically for iOS.

Apple restrict flash using products

Hello,
I am upset right now because i was hoping that Adobe would release a flash player for the iPhone and iPod touch... They actually did but apple is restricting the use of flash so Adobe cant offer it! Anyone knows why??

Axisky--
I share the same feelings with what you are saying of apple blocking flash out of the iPod touch/Iphone. Mike Chambers, Adobe’s Principal Product Manager for developer in a blog post on Tuesday that the company will be ceasing its efforts to bring Flash-based applications to the iPhone. Adobe Creative Suite 5 included an easy way for Flash developers to convert their existing Web-based games and other Flash applications to iPhone apps. That feature was Adobe’s way of sidestepping Apple’s choice not to allow Flash on its mobile platform. Apple doesn't sound terribly broken up about Adobe's announcement that it would stop developing its Flash-to-iPhone, but I'm certainly disappointed.
Apple keeps talking about open sources vs flash being close platform. That is very silly of apple saying that, because let's talk about how apple deals with the app store policies for blocking good apps from their ecosystem. If a developer comes with a good application for apple devices that competes with apple installed application, apple just simply deny the app to show up on the app store. For the simple reason that you are trying to take competition from apple by offering a application with similar features that apple offers. I applaud google for taking the better approach and joining adobe to bring flash to their devices. When I upgrade my phone this year, I'm buying an android phone instead of an Iphone(which apple doesn't offer flash).

What is a quick alternative to launching an enterprise DPS app if Apple Store rejects the App? We are under a major deadline and can't wait for Apple. We want to host the app elsewhere. How do we host our DPS app on our client's website?

Unless I misunderstand the question, you can't do what you're asking to do. Apple doesn't allow you to bypass their store and host public apps on a website. The exception is an enterprise app, which requires an Enterprise account with both Apple and Adobe. This type of enterprise app can be distributed only within the company. If that's what you want to do, you can learn more here:
Digital Publishing Suite Help | Creating viewer apps for private distribution
Distributing enterprise iOS viewer applications with Digital Publishing Suite | Adobe Developer Connection
Another option is to add the development app to several devices and use those for your demo.

What does it happen if killing app then fast startup?

Ask this question dues to my app is very likely to crash if I kill the app then restart it very fast. My debugging shows that when you double click back button then kill app, you see app really disappear, in fact it is still running, needs some time to exit completely. Then if you start up it very fast, app will re-access original dying app, instead of launch a new process, then it will be very likely to crash.
It is not difficult to reproduce it on either device or simulator, the reason is my app running under heavy thread pool (C++ boost implementation), normally it will need some time to destroy the pool (waiting all working threads to join).
I am not sure whether it is system behavior? Does user need to wait for a few seconds after killing app? Or how can I avoid it on application layer? Thank you.

You've posted your question in the iPhoto for iOS forum, but iPhoto for iOS is not compatible with an iPod touch. Are you trying to "edit" an album in the the Photos application?

Sharing an apple ID and downloading apps. HELP!!!

My husband and I used to share one apple ID and all apps downloaded onto the same computer through that ID. We did share some of the apps but he downloaded some and I downloaded others.
Now we both have out own apple ID's but I cant seem to get any updates on my apps unless I use the old apple id. What are my options?
Thanks!

If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

It says I'm logged into my Apple ID on my App Store but when I try to download an app it comes up with my mums Apple ID asking for her password yet I have never used her email or Apple ID to login in? Could this be cause we have back up on same comp?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
