Comments on: So I made a couple of iPhone apps http://flash.fincanon.com/archives/362 Flash Platform stuff from Jason Fincanon Thu, 01 Sep 2011 10:52:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jason http://flash.fincanon.com/archives/362/comment-page-1#comment-46768 Jason Mon, 18 Apr 2011 20:59:31 +0000 http://flash.fincanon.com/?p=362#comment-46768 Thanks Jason. I haven't developed any more for the iOS, but I did push Memory4Kids over to Android and the BlackBerry PlayBook. I also rewrote sequenced in ActionScript for both of those platforms as well. Now that I can code once in Flash or Flex and deploy to iOS, Android AND BlackBerry PlayBook with that same codebase, I imagine that's the way I'll go from now on... for the most part. That said, there will definitely be times when an app calls for pure native development and I'm a big fan of using the right tool for the job at hand. If Flash/Flex/ActionScript can handle it, why not? If it needs to be native (Obj-C, Java, etc), why not? :) Thanks Jason.

Learning new things never killed anybody, instead, many Flash developers prefer to invest time in twittering and keep hearing that "next version of Player is fantastic" thinking that Adobe will solve their problems all the time and ActionScript will be the only thing they need to know. The point syntax of Objective-C is not much stranger than ActionScript itself, not a big drama that can't be solved in a few days.
