Hi,

With Air 3.6, are actionscript workers now available for iOS?

Great!Maybe it is time to migrate the physics engine to a worker.

Yes, for anyone browsing this, it is worth checking out this:

Hello. Are you dumb or is there something I am missing? Adobe has already implemented threading - they just call it "Actionscript Workers"

Are you dumb or have you not read that this refers to iOS workers?

Any news on this?

I really feel let down by Adobe.

Why are they working on useless things such as the smartphone gamepad for flash games? We developers, the ones keeping the platform alive, don't care about those things. We want more performance from Air, concurrency, more language features, etc.

Haxe and RoboVM, which are open source projects have had concurrency in iOS for years. When Adobe killed AS4 I didn't want believe it, but every day it seems more clear Adobe's focus is somewhere else, and Air will just slowly die.

No, Actionscript workers APIs aren't supported on iOS platform.

Hi,

Workers on Android is now available in AIR 3.9 Beta, to use the same download AIR SDK from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html and to know more read release notes http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/shared/air3-9_flashplayer11-9_releasenotes.pdf.

Please share your feedback with us.

PS: It will work with -swf-version=22.
