In this lesson, Adobe Community Professional Tom Green shows how to optimize graphical elements for more efficient rendering with Adobe Flash player. See how you can create a more responsive user experience.

Check out the roadmap for the Adobe Flash Platform. In this session, the Adobe Flash Platform product managers will present an overview of what they're planning for the next major versions of Flex, Adobe Flash Builder, Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe AIR.

Learn how to tap into the many accessibility features the Adobe Flash Platform has to offer. Flash Player, Flash Professional, and the Adobe Flex SDK have integrated support for screen readers and other assistive technology to get you started, as well as keyboard and captioning support, allowing you to build applications that are easier for everyone to use.

Learn how to use Stage 3D (aka "Molehill"), the new low-level GPU-accelerated APIs in Adobe Flash Player, to develop high-performance 2D games. Thibault Imbert, product manager for the Adobe Flash runtimes, will explore these new APIs and their usage inside game frameworks and engines. Stage 3D is going to change the web for 2D and 3D gaming, and this session will show how to make the most of it.

Change the way you think about live video and social media to drive your business with the new P2P options available in the Adobe Flash Platform. Discover how the new P2P protocols (RTMFP) in Flash Player 10.1 can open new doors for video in your applicat

Learn how to create amazing H.264 video that performs well on multiple devices from one of the industry masters. The session will begin by discussing the fundamentals of encoding H.264 for Adobe Flash Player and will focus on using techniques using FFMPEG.

See how MIT developed a novel educational experience with Adobe technology that develops scientific inquiry methods through play. When the Smithsonian Institution wanted to offer youth a rich, technology-supported science experience, it turned to MIT’s Education Arcade. Together they built an eight-week online/offline environmental disaster mystery game for middle-school children. The participants became investigators racing to solve puzzles, visit museums, and collect samples from their neighborhoods to help solve the mystery. Players found clues in videos developed in Adobe Flash, in online games developed in Flex, and in 3D PDF bone scans made by Smithsonian scientists.

Content providers can take advantage of Adobe AIR to deliver console-quality games, rich media apps with premium video across televisions, Blu-Ray players and set-top boxes. Take a look at successful AIR apps for iOS.
