Flash CS5: Create Apps for iPhone
Adobe recently announced that in the upcoming release of Flash CS5, you will be able to publish your Flash applications directly to iPhone. Rather than publishing to a SWF, the output will actually be a native iPhone app, which can be downloaded from the App Store. You also get access to native iPhone APIs such as the accelerometer, tilt sensor, multitouch and geo-location.
We’ve been waiting for ages to get our teeth stuck into iPhone development, but the current set of developer tools means developing in Objective C. Being able to re-purpose any of our existing AS3 code for iPhone is a massive plus for us, and we’re pretty hyped to say the least.
Take a look at the announcement on the Adobe website to find out more. With this and the Open Screen Project pushing Flash based development to more and more devices, it’s a pretty exciting time to be working with the Flash platform.
