iFlashDev - AS3 Development for the iPhone


   
***Update Nov. 05, 2011
Our app Monster Blast is now in both the iPhone store and the Android Marketplace. We've gotten some good feedback and had a great time developing it. Depending on if it ever catches on we may add some levels and do some updates, but in the meantime we're going to start working on our next project. More about that later as we get further along.

This site came about because as a Flash developer I was anxious to give the Adobe packager for the iPhone a try. I had high hopes of all my AS3 content being magically converted to native iphone apps. That's not exactly what happened though. There was somewhat of a learning curve to creating content for mobile devices but once we got the hang of things it's starting to look very promising! While most of my time is spent coding I'll try and add posts for this site that document many of the issues we ran into and how we worked around them.

Hopefully someone out there finds this useful. IMHO Flash and AS3 is looking very promising as a cross platform development tool for mobile devices. With Monster Blast we built for the iphone and had it converted to the Android devices in a matter of hours. For our next project I think we are going to come up with something for the tablet word. Watch out iPad, Android, and even Blackberry! -Mark
