Going 3D is the new talk in Adobe.

0 comments
The company has revealed it will include 3D support in a future version of the browser plug-in.
The news of the update first leaked out in October’s Adobe Max conference, which includes a presentation entitled “Flash Player 3D Future.”

Adobe product manager Thibault Imbert was first to hint to the presentation in a blog post, but declined to give further details, save for the fact that Adobe will release a “3D API” in a “future version”:

Flash 10.1 For Mobile launched by Adobe.

0 comments
Two weeks after releasing the desktop version of Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe has now launched Flash 10.1 for mobile.

At present Flash 10.1 will be available only for phones using Android 2.2 (or Froyo), but that version of Android hasn’t been deployed to devices yet.

Adobe has shipped Flash to its other device partners, too, which means it’ll soon be available on Symbian, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, Palm webOS, and other platforms. Adobe says it’s hoping to bring Flash 10.1 to more than half of all smartphones by 2012.

Artefact puts Flash and sliverlight on iPad 'In A Pinch' [VIDEO]

As Steve jobs rejects Flash adobe propriety software on iphone and ipad but a Artefact Group have been working on a service called Flash In A Pinch.

Recently we saw Smokescreen, a browser plug-in that pulls apart SWF binaries and reassembles them into something Apple-friendly.

It’s not jail-broken and it doesn’t require an app or a plug-in: Just the default Safari browser. 

And for the proof they had posted some videos


Adobe Flash 10.1 Now Available for Download

After the much face off between apple and adobe with use of flash technology in the mac and ipad, Adobe announces the Adobe Flash 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.

According to a blog post from Adobe’s Flash team, the new Flash Player 10.1 features improved performance, power management and video features. The player has also been given new multi-touch and private browsing functionality. The overall viewing experience for Mac users has been fine-tuned as well.

The new Flash player should deliver an altogether smoother, higher-quality experience for web video, with better buffering, peer-to-peer video and online streaming video.

Adobe to Bring Flash-Based Ads to iPhone.

0 comments
Adobe has partnered with ad company Greystripe to deliver Flash-based ads to Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Greystripe makes this possible by converting Flash ads (which the devices do not currently support) into the competing HTML5 format.

Apple prefers HTML5, which it uses in its new iAd platform for rich media ads on mobile devices. The company has no intention of ever directly supporting Adobe Flash on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, so this could be the only chance Adobe has at reaching iPhone users with mobile ads — a massive growth market.

The ads distributed through this deal between Adobe and Greystripe will challenge Apple’s own, HTML5-based iAd platform. We’re not sure what (if anything) Apple will do about this.

Smokescreen converts Flash to Javascript.

0 comments
Good news for the apple users, ahhhahh i mean iPad users. Smokescreen, written by Chris Smoak, is a "Flash player written in JavaScript" that takes Flash objects and converts them to JavaScript in real time.

Here's how it works:

It runs entirely in the browser, reads in SWF binaries, unzips them (in native JS), extracts images and embedded audio and turns them in to base64 encoded data:uris, then stitches the vector graphics back together as animated SVG.

Adobe Unveils Apple-Compliant ‘Digital Publishing Platform’ for iPad Media Apps.

0 comments
Adobe announced Tuesday that a new component to its Creative Suite 5 software — used widely in the publishing industry.

The development puts Adobe squarely back in the high-stakes tablet game with a “legal” way for publishers who already use their popular layout and production suite to create dead-tree output to efficiently create derivative digital versions for the iPad.

The approach — which Adobe does not describe in any detail — apparently does exactly what what was intended with a compiler that Wired magazine was initially employing to create its June issue for the iPad, or more accurately, the reader or “wrapper” for the content which combined are the app. (Both Wired.com and Wired magazine are owned by Condé Nast.)

Weeks earlier, Adobe and Wired magazine had to abandon the compiler method when a change in Apple’s developer agreement stipulated that iPhone OS apps must be originally programmed using Apple-approved languages (such as Objective-C).

We love Apple, say Adobe ads, as companies' battle enters new phase

The Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal were both carrying full-page "We Love Apple" adverts on Friday morning, but the space was not bought by the Californian technology giant but by Adobe, the web technology firm that is locked in a bitter dispute with Steve Jobs.

The adverts, using a variant of the famous "I love New York" motif created by Milton Glaser, have appeared in newspapers including the Wall Street Journal and San Jose Mercury and online on websites including Wired and TechCrunch.

They present the latest front in an increasingly nasty war between the two companies. Adobe's web video technology Flash is not supported by Apple's iPad or iPhone and Jobs has publicly criticised it for causing battery problems and crashes.

After apple, now its microsoft's turn. Microsoft says IE9 will only support H.264 for video.

Article appeared on guardian.co.uk

Microsoft is supporting H.264 in IE9 but not its own system, VC-1, or the open source Ogg Theora. It will continue to not support Adobe Flash, though you can expect it to support its own rival system, Silverlight.

Microsoft's Dean Hachamovitch, the general manager of Internet Explorer, says he has noticed "a lot of posting about video and video formats on the web recently," and taken the opportunity to chip in with support for the H.264 codec. He writes:

HTML5 will be very important in advancing rich, interactive web applications and site design. The HTML5 specification describes video support without specifying a particular video format. We think H.264 is an excellent format. In its HTML5 support, IE9 will support playback of H.264 video only.


There's nothing new about Microsoft supporting HTML5, even though it's not yet a standard. There's also nothing new about Microsoft supporting the heavily patent-encumbered H.264. Nonetheless, some people have taken the "only" bit rather badly, saying that IE9 should support the open source codec Ogg Theora.

Adobe has posted a short response to the letter Apple boss Steve Jobs has written about Flash technology.

In it, Adobe said the legal terms Apple imposed on software developers had led it to shift its focus away from Apple.

Mr Jobs used the open letter to defend Apple's decision not to allow Flash on many of the firm's products.

In it he criticised Flash, saying it was not fit for an era of smartphones and touchscreen devices.
Critical stance.

Adobe abandons iPhone code tools

Adobe is to stop making software tools that allow Apple's iPhone and iPad to use its popular Flash technology.

Article appeared on news.bbc.co.uk

The decision reverses an earlier pledge in which it said it would help get Flash working on the gadgets.

Flash is very widely used on the web and many sites use it to power animations, media players and other multimedia elements.

Despite this, Apple's products do not support Flash and it has made public statements criticising the technology.
