Flash for apps - is it an option?

Hi all
I have been out of the loop for just under a year. Apologies if this question is out of date.
Last Feb, everyone was looking forward to CS5.5 and the ability to produce apps using flash. I have CS5 and debating upgrading. My question is, can Flash still be used to produce apps or have things moved on? I am returning to the scene after a year out and just interested to know if my Actionscript 3 skills can be used to produce applications or if I need to invest the time learning new ones. If I need to update my skills does anyone have any good advice where to start.
Thanks inadvance for any pointers.
Andy

you can produce ipad/mobile (including iphone) apps with cs5.5 and performance and easy-of-use is significantly improved over cs5 though it still takes an effort to squeeze acceptable perfomance out of the ipad/iphone.

Flash drive app for an iPad

Does anyone know if there is a flash drive app for the iPad?

So the site requires flash player? Sounds different than what you first asked.
There are some options, other than Safari, not sure if it will 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.

If you don't have a rescue email address, or you don't know what it is (you won't be able to add/view it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".
When I connect my iPhone or iPad I can see every items on them but not on the iTunes Library.
They sync fine with iTunes.
I browse all the menus in iTunes but cannot find any clues to what I have done for it to happen. It worked fine previously.
Thanks for any suggestion.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

How do I get the none button to pop up so u don't have to have a credit card for apps? I owe nothing for apps from Apple, NOTHING!? And it still does not show the option "none". If it helps the card I have is a debit.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)
Anyway, if you choose to do so, you can leave feedback here:

I updated my payment option details for app store and was charged with Rs. 60 twice. why did that happen?

i changed my app store from canada to india and for that i'd to update my payment option details for app store and was charged with Rs. 60 twice. once the day i added the card details. and then another one 3 days later. why did that happen?
i read soemwhere that it automatically gets credited back within 3-5 working days.
waited for more than 7 days but no credit was given back.
m feeling bad that i got charged without making any purchase.

Each time that you add or change the card details on your account (and possibly also if you change your name and address, as the card needs to be registered to the same name and address as on your iTunes account) you will be charged a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that the card is active, but it should disappear within a few days or so (the amount of time that it takes will vary by card issuer) : store holding charge.
Give it a few more days, and if it still hasn't disappeared then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HTML5 canvas app: flash for presentation layer

Hi there,
I'm a html frontend developer, so I'm quite new to this flash environment.
For a project we're doing right now, however, we decided to go with flash for asset management and presentation layer development.
So we have an MVC javascript project "finished" already, that uses assets exported from a HTML canvas project in flash pro cc. Right now all functionality is coded inside the javascript project, and only assets, animations, etc are loaded from the exported fla. This seems to work fine. However, there is still a strong connection between the javascript views and the exported assets. Right now we're in the position where we need to reskin the whole application, and to allow external developers to design skins as well. This strong connection between assets and views is becoming a problem.
For example, at a certain point in our application we have to show a list options with a variable length. So we draw a container in flash that will contain the list, add a mask, create a scrollbar, etc. Then we have code in the javascript project that uses all these elements, adds displayobjects to the container, scroll the whole thing up and down, etc... That means that a skin designer, who only has access to the fla, is unable to make, for example, a theme where this list is shown horizontaly instead of vertically.
I was wondering how other people handle these scenarios?

you'd have to code and create the graphics for horizontal scrolling just like you did for vertical scrolling

On my iphone 4 when I go into itunes store there is no option for apps

On my iphone 4 when I go into itunes store there is no option for apps. I want to download a free app but I can't get to them.

Hello GiteQueen,
To find apps on your iOS device, you're going to use the App Store:

How can I install an adobe flash player app for iPad?

I work for healthcare business and some of our health education requires to have adobe flash player. I can't go thru the lesson every time I attempt to open the site it's reply is my iPad2 don't support the system. Is there an app for adobe flash player for iPad?

There is no Flash Player for the iPad. There never was and never will be because Apple doesn't permit it. But Adobe has also changed its mind and no longer distributes Flash for ANY tablet. You're out of luck.

HT2128 I keep on getting updates for Adobe Flash Player.app, are these safe to download?

I keep on getting messages to download updates for Adobe Flash Player.app however, I always get a warning message since it is an application downloaded from the internet and the question "Are you sure you want to open it?" Are these safe to download, or shall I cancel it? Perhaps it is best to go to the Adobe site? Any recommendations? Thank you very much.

It can be easier to remove Adobe Flash Player from OS X entirely, and be done with the effort involved. Adobe has a tool to remove Flash Player from OS X available. (If you really need Flash capabilities, there's a version embedded in the Chrome web browser that might suffice.)
As for your question, if you have gone directly to the Adobe web site (by entering the URL in Safair, and not by clicking on anyting in email or on another web site), and have downloaded Adobe Flash Player updates from there, then you're reasonably safe.
If you've downloaded the Adobe update bits from the Adobe site (and again, not from any other site), then clicking through the "yes, I know I downloaded this" is probably safe.

The ipad mini does not have flash for pictures. Is there an app that can add flash for low light?

Since the ipad mini does not have flash for taking photos in low light situations I'm wondering if there is an app that one can use with flash?

Since there's no flash mechanism on the device, I doubt there's an app. You can't control what isn't there.

Which app can i download to run flash for yahoo.7 videos

which app can i download to run flash for yahoo.7 videos

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.

Why is there no option to check for app updates in the latest version of ITunes?

I downloaded the latest version of ITunes but Apple took away the button to check for app updates. Why?

Thanks. I just figured it out. Siri was not enabled. As soon as Siri was back on, the mike reappeared. But thanks for your help.
