How can I package an Android app that is over the 50mb limit using Flash Pro CS6 and Air?  Google now allows for additional content to be downloaded separately ...

OK ... so I called tech support on the phone and spent 15 minutes trying to convince them then Flash Pro CS6 could be used to create an Android app..  The conversation went nowhere.  Uhhhhgggg!!!

Here's the deal ...  Flash Pro CS6 is advertised as being able to create Android apps.  The 50MB file size limitation may not be a big deal for many people right now, but give it a year or two.  Most phones coming out have HD screens.  How can you pack all the assets of large game into <50MB???

So ... I'm going to continue to bump this thread (and the two other ones I have going) until I get a knowedgable response from Adobe.

I'm not sure what they mean by "modules" ... maybe Native Extensions?  I can't optimize my app down in size.  It is a rather lengthy RPG ...

It easier to do module in flex but thats not to say that its not possible in flash cs6.  Have a look at this post http://jessewarden.com/2009/05/creating-modules-in-flash-cs4.html or search google for Modules in Flash/Actionscript.
