i have digested 50% of the functionality and  30% of  the  interface in unity.  I will need some time to decide the avenue of  avatar source development. Scripting and rag doll or canned scripts and animated sequences which tend to be more artist friendly.

Bad Move DOE

Where is any flash app running on a smartphone – NOT VIDEO but a full function service.

If some one can show me – http://dauz.com/river on a smart phone then Adobes whine is news.

thank you

Dang, its like a madd dog fight. Adobe is the company that is whining about a product they dont yet have to work on devices that exisit.

All apple is saying is let us see it working.

When i have to throttle down calls to not suck memory on every cross platform flash ting i  make, how can i say Jobs is full of shit.

SWF is not OPEN source , this is kind of blurred by adobe and the macromedia guy that says he made flash, there history and wikIpedia have no mention of bundles and file formats. Let alone what the default setting are for common functions.

We are not talking about products that make direct things when we talk about Flash, whats funny is how i was laughed at cause i called actionscript one an API for web buttons ( still have working DCRs on the web today ).

Apple is not denying the Flash application on its devices but its output format on mobile devices only.

Apple is open… when you buy a Mac from day one you can be a developer – all the tools come with the machine at no extra cost but the time it takes to install them.

Adobe does the Update dance with some of the worst installers on the planet. And can be called Bloatware as much as Windows could.

It’s a simple business statement to make , Flash does not work on mobile devices ( that’s Flash the application builder not flash the video player ) why would one jump on the band wagon?

Nav hot spot is a 40 x 40 isometric grid built on the fly in AS from 2  base button objects.

Movement is due to just moving the mouse inside the hotspot

movement is achieved via mouse clicks inside the hot spot

Same base map mover – all artwork and code by me.

Now its all about how MS is in the game and only need to rip off IphoneOS and Andriod a little to jump back.

Thank goodness for even handed reporting.

Teaching people to use software you wrote is very different then growing up with the software as second nature. These tech folks do not have much respect for those that came before them , now maybe i just followed the idiots and there is real conversation going on in buzz but at this point it does not matter, its not a useful tool for me.

So when i kept getting chewed on just because i said the Ipad is not a device for the technology set, i was called many things including stupid. Its still going on but i dont see it as i switched off buzz completely.

The person or corporation that employs u sets their standards which its then up to you to meet. If they have all windows machines you try to enjoy working with Windows, if the have Nix flavors you use those.

I have been carrying my office on my back for 11 years and No one has complained that there pretty asp/.net  web site has 100% mac created graphics. Most dont notice or care.

Good work and especially meeting deadlines is way more important then a piece of hardware.

I have flash animations with functionality that were up on the web 2 years before this guy came into the picture. Stop the tit for tat crap.

With the first self hosted DCR docs on the web and much flash development, I luv flash as a API over the clunky director API. But I also use many other tools to create content for clients and myself.

From a Apple point of view – Jobs is right most Flash apps suck – they suck in poor loading screens and can suck memory when poorly constructed. With an plugin or player it is or it is not. There is NO middle ground of some flash and new users hate crashed PCs or locked screens.

I have used Shockwave and now flash to create cross-platform applets because i know the limitation s of each platform (Mac-Windows-Web) not because of the high end  options these platforms provide.

From the Aukaurant CDRom(90s) to my Piece on TaintedMedia(2008) the main rule of thumb has been dont use OS specific API calls – (.net anyone) and it just works.

For Alliare to write a several hundred word screed about how he made Flash what it is and bla bla bla. iS just a waste of text space.
