Those who loves Adobe, Flash, Flex...

Hi folks
please read this funny Flex vs. HTML5
http://rushmeflex.blogspot.com/2010/10/funny-aspects-of-html5-vs-flexflash.html
If you like it don't forget to add your thoughts and share.
Rush-me

be careful mentioning HTML5 on here. it is a sore subject
I am very interested in this topic. I work on both ends of the spectrum (10+ years of Micro$oft) and 3+ months of FLEX 4.
I hear plenty of Microsoft people who are not afraid to talk about this, but I find very few FLEX/Adobe folks who will go into detail about it. I hear Safari even semi-supports HTML5, so apparently Apple is making headway in the HTML5 direction? I am suprised nobody on here will even want to discuss that.
Interesting enough, I attend the FLEX User group meetings here in my city and apparently this subject was discussed before I started attending. I didnt get any info out of that, except that I found out they were discussing it! Which gives me some hope.
I have heard all types of things. I have heard that Microsoft would own Adobe if the Federal Anti Trust laws did not restrict them from purchasing Adobe. This gives me a feeling of "underdog" status when working in FLEX. I kind of like it but it also scares me that this is a bad career choice.
I am very curious as to feedback from other people in the Adobe community. If you search for "HTML5" in all the forums, you get VERY little feedback, and I think that is quite shocking.
Your blog goes into great detail about non-Adobe supporters and how they predict the doomsday for FLASH (exact date), etc. But what your blog does not cover is the very few pro-Adobe people who will even DISCUSS the matter of HTML5 and its implications. I find it VERY shocking that there is so little feedback from this side of the pond.

  • Using Adobe Flash/Flex/air?

    If i register as a developer will i be able to use adobe flash to develope apps and submit them to the app store?

    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."

  • Adobe Flash Update infected Firefox with tons of viruses. Help!

    I got with one of those annoying fake Adobe Flash Updates, and unfortunately fell for it and installed it, which has infected Firefox (and Chrome, and IE, for that matter) with tons of viruses that I CANNOT get rid of. I'm on a Windows 7 PC.
    Basically, what they do:
    - Adds "Enhanced Text" everywhere (text is underlined and leads to an ad)
    - Adds unwanted banners on sites
    - Frequent pop-ups
    - Redirects my searches (Google is essentially unusable)
    - Can't log-in to certain sites (eBay)
    The last two are really killing me and making the internet very hard to enjoy. I've run Malwarebytes several times (first a quick scan, then a full scan), as well as TDSSKiller. Both detected malware and deleted them, but nothing changed. As per the internet's advice, I've tried disabling all my extensions/plug-ins, but doing that didn't help either - many reference specific extensions that cause these problems, like "CCodec" or "ghostery" but nothing like that appears in my add-ons menu. I went into Programs and Features and uninstalled anything suspicious-looking (which somehow lead to half that list disappearing? All my programs are still there, but for whatever reason that list shortened significantly), and still nothing.
    I'm really at a loss here. None of my browsers are working properly and nothing I do seems to help.

    Looks like you need to be locked and loaded for a virus to come, or just avoid it.
    Can you try those scans in safe mode? Safe mode likely will prevent the malware from running at all during the safe mode session.

  • Since Gamers and those who watch online videos are having trouble with Adobe Flash Player 10, why am I, who does neither, having the beast crash all the time?

    Adobe Flash Player seems to wait until I am near the end of the Yahoo comics section before it crashes, but not always, sometimes it just seems to have a mind of its own and crashes indiscriminately.

    As I am the person having this problem, I am at a loss as to what to say in Reply. I thought I was making progress just by noting that video watchers and gamers were having this problem. Then I thought that it might be worthy of note that it seemed to happen more often when I was reading the yahoo comics section, I happen to like the comics. So, I suppose that my question should be, Am I being discriminated against because I do not watch online videos, play games and happen to enjoy the comics?

  • Posing a question for those well versed in flash and flex

    I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Flash and Flex.
    I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available.  This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
    I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
    I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application.  I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
    As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia.  I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
    I would like to illustrate my idea with an example.  I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
    I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
    In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database.  After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty.  I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
    As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with both Flash and Flex.  Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
    Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
    Thanks in advance

    This is an abitious project even for some-one well versed in flex/flash, i have to give you points for outstanding courage on this .
    You need to cover quite a few areas in a project like this both for the client and the back end, you need a strong understanding of animation(either through code or the flash timeline), data parsing, logic trees for the quiz/test elements and a lot more before the first line of code would be written.
    In Australia there are already a few companies using flex for online educational applications and at least 1 state educational Authority. A search on the internet will find several sites pertaining to flash/flex based online education software and this would be a starting point to give you an idea of the strength flex has in this area.
    Beyond this it is not the sort of project that 'help' would be readily available for unless it was relating to very specific issues you could readily define. Also this is not the best forum to request this type of help as the forum is more about testing a beta product. I am sure that if you start learning about flex and have trouble understanding different aspects of how things work there will be plenty of support from the flex community.

  • Important News For Those Who Use Hulu And Other Flash Video Websites.

    Adobe will release the next update to the Adobe Flash software in the next few weeks and that update will bring better GPU video decoding acceleration for Windows if you have recent graphics hardware from ATI, Nvidia, or Intel. This update is VERY important for those who use laptops which have less powerful processors and hardware than desktops usually do. In order to take advantage of this update when it comes out, you MUST have the latest graphics cards drivers for your hardware. ATI, Nvidia, and Intel will all be releasing new drivers  specifically for the updated Flash software so keep an eye on the respective websites for your graphics hardware maker. Of those companies, only Intel and Nvidia have drivers available for testing at the moment, but ATI is not far behind.

    You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

  • I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated.  I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

    because it is a free application.  They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail.  I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music.  This may seem trite but it is not trite to me.  I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom.  I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service.  I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense.   Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it.  They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life.  Shame on Adobe.  I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job.  Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

    I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . .  .

  • How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

    Hi,
      In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
    Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
    In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.
    How to implement the same using adobe and flex?

    Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
    the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
    The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
    the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
      "__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
          __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
          __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
    I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
    cheers

  • When trying up date adobe flash player from 10.1.102.64 to new version 10.2.152.26 i get an error message, "Installer will automatically continue when those conflicting applications are closed: [circle w/line through it] Mozilla firefox."

    When trying up date adobe flash player from 10.1.102.64 to new version 10.2.152.26 i get an error message, "Installer will automatically continue when those conflicting applications are closed: [circle w/line through it] Mozilla firefox."

    Save the Flash installer to the desktop and close Firefox via File > Exit Firefox.<br />
    Start the Flash installer via a double-click on the Flash installer icon on the desktop.
    If that still gives problems then see:

  • Please give me some examples of video chat with adobe flash builder 4 or adobe flex 3.5

    I'm a newbie for flex. I had a project from my college to made a video chat application using Adobe Flash Builder 4 and used Red5.  please help me, give me some examples of video chat source code, so that i may to learn it. thanks a lot friends.

    As you are starting at the beginning you may as well start with FB4. When you install FB4 you will find that its start page has links to documentation tutorials and examples through the tour-de-flex. There are some great blogs that continue to offer advice and examples, nothing beats well written examples for learning. If you are on face book there is an Adobe Flex page that is continually giving links to examples and information about e-seminars.
    And of course there is here. So jump on board and have a bit of fun.

  • How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

    Hi,
      I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

    Hello,
    The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
    Here this is the iFrame approach:
    http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/
    If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...
    ...it is basically based on this:

  • Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

    Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

    Kind of.  I never actually solved the bug, but I did make it past the install. 
      Upon running Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Installer it appeared to crash and only load a blank screen with a single unclickable button.  It wasn't actually "hanging", and would react when I clicked on the program menu and moused over "Services".  This would allow my clicks and keystrokes to register with the program, but only after I mouse over the "Services" menu item.  For example, you need to click "okay", then mouse over "Services".  When you want to enter text you need to click in the text box, and mouse over "Services".  Then you need to type the text you want, and mouse over "Services" to see the text appear.  It's a PITA, but you can get through the install by doing this. 
      After installing the FB plug-in starting eclipse with editors open appeared to cause errors.  If this happens, this is because it seems that FB attempts to load when eclipse starts up.  Close all editors and restart eclipse.  The Welcome page for FB may pop open up.  At the bottom there is a check box that will keep that form loading - check it.  If the page does not open when eclipse starts, then open up an MXML file.  The Welcome page should load, and you can check the box. 
    I hope this helps you move forward.  Also, if you find an actual solution please let me know.

  • I like apple product, however, some limitation like adobe flash player basic function of seeing slide photos in web site. Anyone who can tell me of what apple apps can see slide photos?

    Hi, if apple block adobe flash player, i want to see your solution

    As snozdop pointed out-Adobe has killed mobile flash for all platforms.
    They have focused their efforts on developing HTML 5 tools.
    It a moot point.
    Developers who have a clue are switching over to HTML 5.
