Flash development resolution for phones

I am starting development for a game that I originally intended for the android os. However with the recent news of flash 10.1 and its capabilities across the palm os and web os as well I would rather use it.
My two main questions are
1. Will phones only be able to view flash games through their browsers, or will they be able to download/play them locally?
2. How will flash handle the different phone resolutions. Will it auto resize or is there a specific resolution i should use?
Ideally I would like to host a download-able app on droid market, but regardless any information about this you could tell me is appreciated.
Thanks

Generally, there are still lots of unanswered questions in regards to Flash on mobile devices. They will be answered soon by Adobe, but things are still in the works.
I would check out the various presentations at this last year's MAX conference. In many cases, they show what they expect the work flow to be.
To answer your questions
1. We don't know yet. They announced they are working on the FP for Android, but they haven't announced anything additional for the Droid platform yet.
2. Generally, it's been said that the developer needs to target the various resolutions themselfs. I doubt that the applications will be auto-resized for the mobile platform (that would be painful on both sides).

Flash Lite Update for db2020 phones

Can they make update flash lite for phones like
w850i,w880i,w580i?
Most flash now is flash lite 2 but we are stuck on flash lite
1.1.

Hi,
Most mobile devices never get updated unfortunately for
various reasons.
This year we set up the Open Screen Project to try and enable
developers to access the latest Flash player on all mobile devices
in the future.

So I think there should be an app with flash cards that you can fill in your own info with. I'm studying for a test, and how awesome would it be to have my flash cards on my phone!!! Is there already an app like that?

I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?

I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?
I had the developer preview installed. Never had to update to the release version of the OS. Now, the preview has expired, and I cannot use my phone because my iTunes reads my OS as being current, but my iPhone cannot active. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

If I Google for Michael Superczynski, first match tells "Michael Superczynski's Profile : Apple Support Communities". It in fact does a lot of work there even if not paid.
And yes we do not have disagreement about "official apple developers". Problem is that Apple screwed our devices because we are "official apple developers" and did effort to stop us getting proper help. I unbricked my ipad and iphone thanks to unofficial help. Thank you who wrote this unofficial help and "no thanks" for apple for ruining my access to my devices. My mistake was assuming that "update" button on my devices works. It did not because it always told "Your device has latest IOS6 installed" until it bricked yesterday.
If Apple does not want to listen us, continue do delete post, blame us installing your software and yes we stop buying your devices and developing for them.

Industry standard for alloting Flash Development time

Does anyone the industry standard for the time it takes for
Flash development in general. In other words, How much developement
time does it take to do one minute of flash animation. For example,
with video and motion graphics, it's one hour of editing time to
accomplish one minute of edited video.
Is there a similiar industry standard for Flash development?
Obviously, there are variations in the how robust the
animations are, how interactive they are, and how complicated the
code is...but I'm really just looking for a general rule of thumb
for professional Flash developement..
Anyone know?... or know a good place to find this
info?

I appreciate your willingness to respond but I find it hard
to belive that a standard does not exist. As a multimedia developer
at a high profile corporation, I have been asked for this
information....and I gurantee that if I have been asked....others
at large companies have been asked also.
can anyone that works in the industry share their own
guidelines based on personal experience? I have my own SWAG for the
amount of time it takes indivdualy for custom animations,
interactivies, and games...but would like to compare that to other
estimates.
Maybe it's better to ask for a Multimedia developemnt
standard instead of a Flash development standard.

Adobe Flash to develop apps for iOS

Photoshop touch for phones messes up on Note 4 resolution.

I just installed Photoshop touch on my new Samsung galaxy note 4 after happily using it on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and a Samsung Galaxy K Zoom.
I've found out it uses different methods to retrieve the device's resolution for different interface elements, making it completely unusable.
here's a list of several things that go wrong:
1:(low impact) loading indicators are much smaller than they should be.
2:(low impact) the zoom indicator is off by 2/3rd.
when I zoom in to what I know to be 100% Photoshop claims I'm at 33%.
if I zoom in to what Photoshop thinks is 100% I'm actually at 300%.
I've done some testing and it seems the zoom function is based off a screen size of 480x854 while my screen is 1440x2560.
3:(medium impact, exacerbated by other issues) the bar for settings colors for gradients is less than half the width it should be, leaving very little space to work with.
4:(high impact) this is going to be a long one, so first a little back story on a feature of convenience added to the phone version: touch zones.
certain interface elements, mostly the ones in the form of a white dot with either a symbol or a color on them, have a "touch zone" surrounding them.
the dots will respond even if you miss, as long as you touch within their touch zone.
this reduces frustration when trying to manipulate images using fat fingers.
unfortunately this feature contains 2 bugs.
-1: touch zones override dots, so if 2 dots are within each other's touch zone attempting to move 1 dot by touching it precisely can cause the other dot which is further away from your finger/stylus to move instead.
this wouldn't be that much of an issue if it wasn't for bug 2.
-2: the touch zones on the note 4 are 2CM (almost 1 inch) wide.
this means it's completely impossible to alter gradients, and causes resize/cropping tools to misread actions.
actions like stretching to the right, or moving to the right instead cause shrinking from the left side.
right now the tablet version is more usable than the phone version on the note 4.
this really needs to be fixed.
some suggestions:
fix overlapping touch zones, so the nearest dot always responds.
reduce the touch zone size, nobody is that inaccurate.
find a way to reliably retrieve the screen resolution on the note 4, or add an automatic override if Photoshop touch detects its running on a note 4.

it has been well over a month, and it's still being ignored.
this app is supposed to be compatible with the note 4, but it still doesn't work properly.
and it bothers me that every time I mention a compatibility issue it's completely ignored.

Flash Builder 4.5 iOS Development license for teacing purposes

I teach in an academic institution where we have Flash Builder 4.5 installed.The current set up only allows us to configure apps for the android platform and not for iOS.Is it possible to configure the application for the iOS platform purely for the purpose of developing apps for academic study?

Dear Flexer,
At this time, you can only create an AS project for iOs.
I heard, that whis realease of Flash Builder 4.5 you can create mxml
project for all plateform.

Flash-specific Book for AIR development?

I am looking for a book to learn AIR development with Flash.
Are there any "Classroom in a Book" type books out there on the
topic?

I was finally able to get my app on a Samsung TV using Flash Builder as my development tool. Here's some more info on this subject. You actually have to overlay the Air 2.6 SDK - not the 2.5 SDK.
Also make sure when you finally package the TV app to change the application XML to point to 2.5,. During development you can leave it as 2.6.
@see http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/airquestions/AIR+for+TV
What tools do developers use to create AIR 2.5.1 apps for TVs?
Developers can use the following tools:
AIR 2.6 SDK
Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5 (now an integral feature in Flash Professional CS5.5)
Flash Builder 4.5
Note: Developers can use the AIR 2.6 SDK for developing apps for AIR 2.5.1 for TV. In Flash Professional, set the publish settings to Adobe AIR 2.5. In Flash Builder, set the AIR namespace to 2.5 in the app descriptor file:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">.
If you are using Flash Builder 4.5, you must do the following:
Download the Flex 4.1.0.16076 SDK.
Download the AIR 2.6 SDK.
Copy each file from the AIR 2.6 SDK into the corresponding directory within the Flex 4.1 SDK, replacing the Flex original variants.
To use this SDK within Flash Builder, select your project in the Flash Builder package explorer.
Choose Project > Properties to open the project's Properties dialog box.
Select Flex Compiler in the list and then click the "Configure Flex SDKs" link to open the Preferences dialog box.
Click the Add button, browse to the SDK, and then click OK until you get back to the project's Properties dialog box.
Click the "Use a specific SDK" option and then pick Flex 4.1 from the drop-down menu.
You must also replace the default WindowedApplication element with Application in your project's MXML file.

Good tutorial book for non-flash developer?

I need to learn flex for our company. I am a .NET developer
although I have used Flex 1.0 before and was doing well with it. I
am by no means a flash developer, so I'm looking for a good
beginner to intermediate book for someone who is looking more at
flex application development rather than design.
I need a book that focuses more on database/XML/webservice
integration and not something that focuses SOLEY on rich GUI's.
Yes, I would like for the book to focus also on design, but not
have that purely be the focus.
What do you all recommend? Thanks!
Ryan

I found the book Adobe Fex 2 Training from the Source VERY
helpful. I read and did everything and am also finding it useful as
a reference. One reason I liked it is that it takes you through an
appliation step by step refining the application over time as you
"discover" more succinct/efficient ways to do things (e.g. making
components and a more reusable design). It takes you through
multiple ways to get at server stuff too. I also highly recommend
reading the Cairngorm articles posted on Adobe's website to help
you get off on the right foot using good design principles for
Flex.
P.S. I am very much a newbie myself and am still climbing the
learning curve.

How To Use Flash Media Server For RPG Game Development Project ?

I'm more or less in the same boat. I've got the admin console
up. I am able to run the vodtest application locally pointing the
video file to rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv or using the server
name instead of localhost as in rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv
I can also load the html and swf file to my xp machine that
has access to the server via our internal network. (DNS isn't
configured yet) But the connectionFailed message appears when I try
to call the videos using rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv

Multi-resolution for multi-targets for handphones?

Hi All,
I need to seek your advice on certain concerns regarding on mobile development.
I am currently creating an app for my Samsung Galaxy S which has a resolution for 480 X 800px and it looks great. The problem is if I am creating for other resolutions like iPhone and the rest of the other mobile devices. I understand on Flash CS5.5, there is a ‘scale content with stage’ within the Dimensions, but it is not perfect. I believe I have to resize until I get it right for the other phones. However, am I going to publish multiple apks for different resolutions? Even when I publish as a full screen, I still see the edges of my stage.
I have codes that affect certain resolution, for example I have a code called hydrantY = 400px; if my screen height is 480px whilst hydrantY = 280px if screen height is 320px. Am I going to have a set of classes linking to different fla files and another set of classes for another group of fla files?
Will the usage of the Projects panel help? I understand you use the Projects panel if you happen to have different output like for swf (website development), air (desktop development) and air for Android (for mobile devices). Will the usage of Projects panel be useful if I am developing for different mobile device targets like (Samsung, HTC, Apple etc...having different resolution)?
I know this sounds lengthy, but I would appreciate if you can help me as this has been bugging me!

I'm using about 100 images in my application. Its not possible to use if condition for that 100 images. Is there any way to use multi-resolution method in XAML instead of code behind?

Camera resolution for NetStream. Please help.

I'm developing a videochat app that should work on different network speeds. The idea was to switch to lower resolution if by some criteria delay becomes too noticable (say, delay is 2 seconds, or dropped videoMessage packet ratio is more than 20%). Or if on the other hand user has fast network connection then app should increase the resolution and thus providing better video image quality.
The problem: I can not find anyone done this before, thus I am comming to the conclusions that I'm doing something wrong here.
Is it possible that RTMFP is lowering the video image quality automatically when ever it thinks that delay is too huge? If this is the case, than should I set the video resolution for camera to 1600x1200 and feed it to the netstream and allow NetStream to take care of everything else, or there is some other magic numbers for resolution that I should set?
If this is not the case and RTMFP is not taking care of lowering/increasing video quality automatically then how can I measure the quality. I know there are NetStream.info and NetStream.liveDelay, nether of which for RTMFP connections provides valuable information to detect delay. For me liveDelay is going up to 20 and then fluctuacting there, but for info videoLossRate property is always zero, even if I set everything to max and lag is very noticable.
So how is RTMFP intended to use?

I agree. In fact, make it your workflow when sending this type of file to an online vendor. The importance of the 350ppi requirement is for any of your transparency or raster effects to match their RIP's output line screen. It's becoming an industry wide mistake to refer to file resolution in terms of dpi. Do yourself a favor and get familiarized with the terms dpi and ppi, what they really are and what importance they play in output. The advantage to PDF is the fact that you can establish the output resolution, color settings, and font embedding that will trim the variables that could go wrong on the vendor's end. Your job is to make sure you apply the correct resolution, color, and font settings in the original file and again when you generate the final PDF. If you are unsure, find a local print provider that knows what they are doing and can teach you how to setup a file properly. You may have to intern somewhere, take a good course somewhere, and/or buy a really good and accurate book on prepress file standards. Try your local book store or library. Use better keywords when searching on the web, take a look at some of adobe.com's resources ( i.e., A Designer's Guide to PDF or similar ). Now, you will need to learn more about Illustrator Color Settings and the Raster Effects Resolution Settings. These are two areas you should spend a little time getting to know how different settings will affect output. In the case of your business card, set the raster resolution to "High". That will cover you on their 350ppi requirement. Do not get discouraged by seeing their proof on screen. It's just a preview. Do not get too comfortable with what you see on your screen unless your entire workstation is calibrated and even then you have to be cautious.
