Question

Calendar App as Beginner Project

As a beginner project I want to make a daily calendar app with pictures.

I'm guessing that file size is an issue with a picture for every day.

Should I try to compress it all down to fit in one app or have it loading them over the net in advance? Eventually all days can be viewed.

If I am going to store it as an external data file what would that format ideally be? I'd like to export to iPhone and Android.

thanks

Are you a beginner in Flash or a beginner with AIR, this seems very complex for a beginner in Flash project but if you are great in flash and want to take those skills to the Phone then you can probably handle it.

For the pictures it might be best to keep them out of the app and in the phone storage directory and simply refrence them although if the user deletes the image then its gone, oh and by simply I mean huge pain in the butt probably. I tried messing with the CameraUI one time and it was a pain, best I ended up with was a huge image that filled up the whole screen and I had no control over it.

Intermediate with Flash and AS. Beginner with AIR.

I don't need massive images. Probably quite small jpegs would do, but lots of them. I'm wondering how I should store them. Whats the optimal method?

Dont know of the ultimate method but Apple has strick guidelines (shocking I know) on android you can probably do whatever you want but there is a few posts about Apple and their new cloud related rules.
