Android Flash Game Development

[renatomateusx]

Hey guys, can someone help me?

i have a game project to build, but i have a question, can i build this game on actionscript 3 and port to android without problems?

I'm worry about the performance, i have heard some bad things about the adobe air.

I thought: i will make native, but i know about the time that i will get to finish that game, with native android/java will be long time, but flash i know that will be quick.

So, i want to know if someone with experience with android flash games can say something to me about this.

Thanks

flash does a pretty good job publishing for android.  it's certainly easy.

so, my suggestion is to try it.  to be sure the android platform is much weaker than the desktop you use for developing your android game so you should frequently test on an android device.

and remember to use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix appropriately.

I have a app here, but they are with a lag. Did you know say why?

you can upload your files to a file server and post links here, but i'm not sure who will download those files.

i wrote a book that included a chapter on creating android games using flash, but the book is for intermediate flash users, Flash Game Development
