Finally Flash on iPad

Well sort of.
Search for iSwifter in the app store. It basically streams a firefox browser to your iPad. Finally I can load Flash video and games without having to switch on my PC.
It has its issue and not an everyday browser BUT gets round those sites that require flash.
At the moment all profits from the upgrade (it browses for free for a few minutes before reseting) which allows unlimited browsing is going to help those struggling in Japan.

Apple needs to just lift it's ban on Flash.
I don't get it. I have an HTC evo phone, and it has the Flash Player, and it works really well.
At the office I'll often catch up on the biggest loser, or seinfeld over at tbs and nbc, or some southpark. I just flip out the kickstand, inset my headphones and watch ( or mainly listen ) to anything.
Having Flash allows me to feel more connected to the internet. I'll ofetn play tower defense (my favorite genre) flash games at new grounds, or watch MMA videos on MMASHARE.com
I see no difference between what I get on my phone and what I get at home on my pc. I have not had a single problem, infact I would argue that flash on my phone runs better than it does on my netbook.
I use a netbook hooked to a tv to watch flash tv shows in bed at night, and sometimes I will get a little slow down or stutter when not in full screen, but then the next day at the office it will run great on the phone.
All I know is Apple would make me alot happier if they took down that rediculous "thoughts on flash" post and work things out. 1/2 the crap it says in there is so outdated and not true anymore I can't believe they keep it up.

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

    I was astounded, to say the least, that something as basic as playing a Utube video doesn't work on the iPad out of the box. I tried it on my iPad3 and it didn't even give me an error message. The iPad just didn't do anything.
    Sure it does with a YouTube app included.

  • Photon Flash for iPad help

    I downloaded Photon Flash for Ipad yesterday used it - no issues. Today it's wanting the latest version of flash, which I cannot download directly from Ipad and there doesn't seem to be any updates... what do I do?

    Some app developers make separate apps for the iPhone and iPad. That's a developer issue. Contact the developer if you are unhappy.

  • Finally got the ipad to sync-however when I try to sync a new pictuce folder , ipad deletes the original ones I put on I pad- how to I download new albums without deleting the old ones

    I finally got he ipad to sycn photos from computer to ipad- however when I try to download a new album- the old one is deleted and replaced on the ipad- how do I avoid this ?

    You can sync multiple folders to the iPad, as long as they are under the same parent folder on your computer so that you can then select and sync them to the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - each folder will get it's own album on the iPad. Not including them in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).

  • Flash on iPad?

    Flash On iPad
    The way FMS 4.5 works is that it automatically detects if the device displaying the content supports native Flash content. If it does not, as in Apple’s case, it converts the video to the necessary format to allow it to be viewed.
    “Flash Media Server is an important part of a greater video solution to reach larger, more global audiences with technology providing consistency in a world of player and device fragmentation – this release marks a significant step forward to access more opportunities and to create these new experiences that entertain and engage audiences,” wrote Kevin Towes, senior product manager for Flash Media Server at Adobe in a blog posting.
    “FMS4.5 extends online delivery, both through Adobe Flash Player and to the Apple device, with one simple broadcast workflow and offers a tremendous opportunity to create something really special,” he said.
    He also said that FMS allows content providers to encode and deliver encrypted content to Flash and Apple devices using HTTP. He said that broadcasters such as the BBC have been actively testing HTTP delivery to Flash for events such as Wimbledon.

    No, just that lacking in a tech support question. :-)

  • Flash on iPad and iPhone

    Is there any way (yet) anyone knows of to play Flash content on the iPad or iPhone? Are there any sites that do any kind of on-the-fly conversion? I don't quite understand the fued or whatever between Steve Jobs/Apple and Adobe, nor do I really care. I would just like to know if there is a work-around. I run a website that is all about the yet-to-be released iPad2 and several other Apple Product specific websites. I would really like to give our readers some information on this that would be helpful. Artists, Musicians, and lots of other creative types use Apple products more in general. And Flash movies AND Flash Websites are the best choice for many artists, especially Flash Websites for the ability to display content, without the ability to copy or save it. So, since so many artists visit other artists websites, this is kind of crazy! I know I cant stand it when I try and look at a site, or movie, and I see the message.....
    There has to be some viable option(s)!
    ANYONE?????

  • Finally Flash SEO!!!

    I've been working on Flash's "flaws" for 5 years and why they
    were causing SEO problems. Finally I've found a way to fix them
    all. Today I received my proof from Google and Aol that my
    techniques worked!
    First problem the dreaded back button. I've taken this script
    from free scripts on the web and floating around. I molded it to
    fit my style and my technique. My sites now use the browser history
    to go back through and all flash website. This was a major SEO
    problem before because some search engines wouldn't give you any
    position if you couldn't use the back button.
    Second problem, the detection system. The older flash
    detection systems would take you back through the flash detection
    system with one click. Google gave you 0 rank if your site did
    this. With the new detection system and swfObject.js we don't deal
    with that anymore. Also the click to activate is gone, ahh nice!
    Third problem, deep linking. This works now as a bonus to the
    back button. I can link to my site's portfolio page by sending this
    link out,
    Ohio Web
    Design
    Again this is an all flash site embedded into one html page.
    Fourth and biggest problem, SEO in general, no content to
    crawl. Well using the swfObject technique your html alternate
    content gets replaced with the Flash file if the Flash detection is
    passed. Why is this important? Google doesn't follow the javascript
    files to load your flash content so they use your alternate html
    content to rank your site. Of course you can cheat with this and
    just place any old content in your alternate content. But be aware
    this is a black hat technique and you will get caught and banned
    from google. I asked on their webmaster forums and was answer by
    google employees themselves. You must make sure that your alternate
    content is very similar to your content in your site.
    My proof? Last week I finished adjusting my alternate content
    and resubmitted my site to Google. Before this I had 0 ranking on
    any search engine. You could only find me by typing richardson
    graphics in the search engine. Because web design is such a large
    field my keywords were carefully selected so that the competition
    is a smaller group. Any seo company will tell you to narrow your
    market and you'll get better results. I did mine keywords for Ohio
    Flash Website Design. This search is done on average of 1000 times
    a month, which is way more than my small company can handle. I'm on
    page 1 for 14 different keyword combinations of my main 7 keywords.
    Aol also picked me up and I have just as much rank with them.
    Google's biggest ranker is links, I have 0 links with google.
    Check marketleap.com and you'll see, I only have 4 total. Now I
    will be building my links so I can move up the rankings in broader
    categories like flash web design.
    Thanks to all of those who have every contributed any code to
    helping Flash become equal or better than html... the day has
    arrived where I can stop losing jobs when being compared to
    html.

    Thanks for the wishes guys and thanks for being patient, I am
    quite low on sleep, :) but she is great, you haven't lived until
    you've had a child.
    As for the code I'm going to see if I can point you in the
    right direction here to see if you're able to put it together on
    your own.
    There are two ways that I have been using this technique and
    I'm not sure which is the best.
    Technique #1
    First you can make you separate "pages" of you site anyway
    you wish to load. Whether its different "sections" in the main
    timeline, loading separate swf's into a movie clip on the main
    stage/timeline, or my method creating a background file that
    usually contains the buttons and the background stuff and load the
    page swf on top of it. I keep this file on level0 and load
    everything else above it when it's needed. This stuff doesn't
    really matter that much, all preference I believe.
    Next what you can do is go to google and type in SWFAddress
    2.0 and go to asual.com? Not sure of the address. There you will
    find many examples of how all this works. Here there are two
    techniques as well. On for SWFAddress.onChange and one for the
    event, geared towards AS 3.0. I use the onChange way that was
    introduced in the first version of SWFAddress and for AS 2.0.
    Backically you place all the code in the second frame on its own
    layer, to keep it organized and because the first frame has your
    loader. I call this Back Functions, the layer name. This code will
    include on SWFAddress on Change function and some formatting title
    stuff, for the html page along with the include file for the class.
    Basically on all your button code, I use movieClips, on the
    onPress of your button you place something like
    SWFAddress.onChange('/About/'); This code will call the function in
    the second frame of your back functions layer and actually add that
    to your title on the html page and change the address thus creating
    history. Everytime you press a button you add history to the
    browser by calling that function. If you hit the back button it
    looks at what is after your address and the yoursite.com/#/ to find
    out what page you're requesting to go back too. Now the tricky
    part.
    In the onChange function the examples will show you an array
    called arr, I believe, that you just fill will the names of your
    pages just like you're calling them in your button onPress
    functions. arr = ['/', '/About/', '/Contact/' ... ] Then below that
    array just follow the examples because there is an if statement
    that tests the position of the item in the arr array and sets it to
    a variable we'll call getIndex, a number. So if my about us page is
    the second item in the array and the second line of my if else
    statement looks like this:
    else if (getIndex == 1){
    unloadMovieNum(5);
    loadMovieNum("about.swf", 5);
    _root.pageLoaded = "about" // this is a variable i use to
    track the page I've loaded for other coding purposes
    So when you press a button it will call the onChange function
    and figure out what page you wish change to. Then it will load that
    page. When the back button is press it visits the onChange function
    again and changes back the page previous. Of course with animation,
    I use fuse, there is a lot more code involved but that's the gist
    of it.
    Now for the SEO stuff. In an index page in the examples
    you'll see that there is a <div = #flashcontent> or something
    like that tag. That means that when the flash movie passes
    detection through the swfObject code then it loads the flash movie
    here in the html code. Here is where you place your alternate html
    text. This is the text that will be browsed by search engines. I
    actually just start building a text version with a few images of my
    entire site here if I'm using only one html page. Which leads me to
    technique nubmer two.
    Technique #2
    Technique number two is just like 1 except after my fuse
    animations I call a function called loadHomePage. That function
    then calls a javascript code that is on the html page that tells me
    what html page was found. If it's the index page then it returns
    "home". Then I pass that through and init(thisPage) function that
    is just like the onChange function but obviously requires a little
    different coding. So I end up with both function the initPage
    called when the site is loaded the first time and onChange is
    called from then on. So if you go to my site and hit the index page
    the home page of the flash movie will always be loaded. But if you
    go to company.html then the Flash code calls the javascript and I
    have the word "company" returning to flash. Then it goes through
    the init function and says load the company page first. So the
    buttons change and the company page is loaded first instead of the
    home page.
    Why do this? For seo purposes. I began thinking that if I try
    and place a text/html representation of my entire site between the
    <div> tags in the index.html page only what happens if Google
    decides that too many people are spamming this and if your text
    here doesn't match your flash movie page text maybe they will
    consider it black hat seo. So now I have an html page for each page
    on my website that will make the flash movie go directly to that
    page.
    Portfolio
    page
    Now I can seo each html page like you would on a normal html
    site and you can push your links just like any html site and your
    site will act just like is expected of an html site.
    However if you look at my code I've been learning seo and
    changing my text so many times that I haven't had time to make my
    html alternate text like I've described as above but that is the
    plan when I have time. So now each one of the 4 pages on my site
    can be found, linked to and indexed by google. You can also then
    get a page rank for each html page, but you really only have one
    full flash website. I believe this in the end will be the best way
    to go plus you have more pages html pages out there which gives you
    a better chance of getting people to your site as opposed to 1
    page.
    Pretty slick!!!
    It's all still a work in progress but there you have it. I
    will one day be putting this all together and allowing people to
    download the whole package already built but no time right now,
    I've gotta pay the bills and sleep so no time for work that doesn't
    pay right now unless you're willing to make a donation to me and I
    may find the time. :)
    A few notes. Remember to include the SWFAddress.as file on
    your main timeline because the SWFAddress.onChange function calls
    many functions in this class.
    Also use the SWFAddress.js and SWFObject.js files in the root
    of your site or in their own folder (that's how I'm doing it)
    The big kicker here is you still have to know SEO or at least
    learn it. Make sure you don't have invalid html code (there is a
    test), start building lots of links, verify your site, the age of
    your site is important. Don't spam keywords, use your main keyword
    phrase in your title, hint: you change the title in your SWFAddress
    code so in the html make it your best keyword phrases along with
    your description because when the flash movie loads it will change
    to the title you wish to be displayed but the search engines will
    pick up the title in the html code. Be sure to use h1, h2, and h3
    tags in your code. Use keywords in your image alt tags in the
    alternate html code. These are just a few of the items you'll need
    to do to get a high score, right now I know of 179 different things
    for Google. Keyword density is a big one, you never want to out
    perform the top 10 by much at all, just a hair.
    I've been working on my position for two months now and for
    my 24 keywords (check my source of my index page) on the 17 major
    search engines I show up on the first two pages of of 202 of 408
    possible combinations, so I'm well on my way. I'm number one on
    several including "ohio flash company", I know not a widely
    searched term but it was the first phrase I started with and then
    I've expanded to wider search terms which is what I recommend.
    Don't be silly and think you're going to show up number one on
    Google with no links for "flash web design" overnight, it takes
    lots of work. Start narrow then increase your search parameters to
    wider and wider searches.
    Sorry if all of this is confusing but feel free to email me
    on contact me through my site if I can quickly clarify anything
    I've written here. Also browse my site and look at the source of my
    html pages to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

  • How to use Adobe flash with iPad?

    Is there a way to use adobe flash in safari with the new iPad? I am a new ipad user. Thanks

    No, flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.
