New to Air - Advice needed

Hi everyone

This is  my first post, so I'm hoping I can get some feedback to my questions.

I've worked with Flash for a while (but not in the last 2 years)... I'm still an AS2 user! lol Anyways, I want to have a crack at porting some of my old Flash games to iPhone.

From my understanding, I require Air obviously, but I'm wondering what version of Flash I'll need as well?

Also, can anyone point me to some good walkthrough/how-to-publish-to-the-iTunes store style of documents or sites that I can study? I've been doing a lot of googling and haven't come across a lot of helpful advice on this topic.

What are people's experiences with submitting to Apple? My biggest worry is that I'im not a programmer, and having to deal too much (at all even!) with Xcode would be a challenge. I already am a registered iOS developer and have Xcode installed and all of my certificates set up etc.....

Thanks for any advice or war stories people can share!!!!

JM

Hi JM,

#1

you would have to use ActionScript 3.0 (there are couple of reasons of that - most significant that you would use Adobe Air SDK tools that work only with ActionScript 3.0 - no matter what is your content authoring tool, etc). So the main problem woudl be rewriting code to use AS3 syntax (including data type declarations, etc). This doc could be helpful to start with something:

Adobe Developer Connection contains many iTunes/iOS related documents/hands-on/tutorial/videos, e.g.:

more platform related content is here I believe:

hth,
