Learn the workflow for publishing and testing mobile applications built with AIR in Flash Professional. Taken from Train Simple's Flash Training

Hear how rehabstudio, a leading digital agency, created ArtCade, a unique gaming platform that lets teens scan art on packs of iD Gum to unlock, play, and share games. We'll be joined by a diverse cast of characters to share with you the production story and tricks behind:• Creating a game platform and 18 games in less than 3 months• Using Adobe Flash technology and Adobe AIR to create native apps for iOS, Android, and Facebook• Using a single codebase for web, iOS, and Android across tablet and mobile• Creating a Facebook scoring and achievement engine• Using Starling for hardware acceleration, sprite sheets, and retina support for iOS and Android

Explore the exciting possibility of making a multiplayer game for multiple devices using the same codebase while maintaining desktop-like game quality. The session will be taught by two experts from Frima Studio: Jean-Philippe Doiron, principal architect R&D, and Luc Beaulieu, CTO.Join us to learn about:• The use of Stage3D across web and mobile deployments (with Adobe AIR)• The challenges encountered when attempting to maintain high-performance specifications on mobile devices • The required production pipeline and guidelines for deploying and debugging on iOS and Android • An overview of the deployment process, from start to finish• Techniques used to go from low fps for static scenes to 30+ fps for full gaming, like batching, change in render target, overdraw, native extensions, and FlasCC

In this mobile app demo, John Chen shows how manual garbage collection improves performance on the iPod 4 (top) and Nexus One (bottom). Each animation shows under 200 triangles in playContainer and never slows down. (Click the HTML Text link to read the article.)

In this mobile app demo, John Chen shows how a lack of manual garbage collection hinders performance on the iPod 4 (top) and Nexus One (bottom). The number of triangles increases forever as the animation plays. (Click the HTML Text link to read the article.)

In this mobile app demo, John Chen shows animations on the Nexus One (left) and iPod 4 (right) performing poorly because of too many vector graphics. Note the degraded performance (as slow as 12 fps) as more and more vector graphics come in. (Click the HTML Text link to read the article.)
