I have an Instant Messenger application which uses flash media server for backend work. It works fine on desktop. But on tablets it is very very slow.

I am unable to understand why this is happening. Has any one had a similar experience? If so how did you fix the issue? Your suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Shivannad

Are you talking about Flashplayer on Android, or an Air Application?

If you're talking flashplayer in the browser on android, the best advice I can offer is to expect poor performance. I've had nothing but problems trying to get applications working reliably on that platform. Ultimately, I ended up porting my applications out to Java to run on Wowza, and used HTTP to provide data to mobile clients outside of the flash runtime.

Yes, I am talking about flash player in the browser on android on a tablet. It is an IM application. When I send a chat message it takes lot of time to send. The browser behaves abnormally during the time of sending. Browser gets refreshed very slowly everytime I send the message.

Yeah... I've more or less given up on Flashplayer on mobile devices. Adobe isn't going to support it anymore anyway, so we might as well get used to using HTTP and javascript for handling messaging and data sync on mobile.
