I'm curious as to what the community here thinks about the announcement to rebrand Flash as Animate CC. If you missed it, here you go: Welcome Adobe Animate CC, a new era for Flash Professional | Adobe Flash Professional Team Blog Do you think this is good? Bad? More of the same? Do you think this means Adobe is going to put more energy into Flash? Or is this just another way for them to push it further into the background? I'd love to hope that this means new and wonderful things. But it's kind of hard to hope for that given the past few years. Thoughts? ... View more

I actually haven't deployed an iOS app since Air 16 about this time last year. But I needed to update an app, so i downloaded Air 19 and 20. The performance on my new iPhone6s is predictably fine. But on my iPad3 and iPhone4s, it's really bad. I was able to get a pretty solid 30fps on the 4s before with Air 16, but now it easily drops and bobs in the low 20's with any kind of touches or drags. I even disabled some functionality to speed things up and it still lags. I would love to just go back and use Air 16.  However, my ANE's have updated to more recent versions. And even if they had not, I need things to run on iOS9 and give iPad Pro icons and Default screens to be accepted on the AppStore. I develop kids apps for 5 and under. Therefore, my target market uses mostly old hand-me-down devices. Flurry tells me these days that the iPad2 is the most common device among my users. So it's important for me to support old devices. And also, while the decision to move from iOS 6.1 to 7.0 makes sense statistically, it is a little disconcerting to those of us who are still targeting these older devices. I appreciate the focus on keeping Air relevant and moving forward. But I hope we could still hang on to the functionality we need to support these older devices. I think these devices and old os's will be around for a few years more - especially in my category of "5 and under". I post this mainly to let Adobe know that good performance on old devices is still very important to certain segments of this community. Our app has been featured in the AppStore for the past year (in several places). We are doing our best to make Flash and Air look like a solid development choice. Please help us do that. I also post this to ask if anyone else had issues and if they had any new tricks in squeezing some more performance out of Air. ... View more

Please forgive all the noobishness of this question. I'm doing my first Android app. Is this Android LVL necessary? Will it really help keep my paid app from getting pirated on Google Play? If so, is there an easier way to do it than this: Licensing Adobe AIR applications on Android | Adobe Developer Connection For instance, is there any reason I wouldn't just go with this: Android LVL (License Verification Library) for Air I'd love to get this working on my app, but I was really hoping to do it without building my own ANE (as in the Adobe tutorial). I was hoping Adobe could just provide this ANE or build the licensing process into Flash Pro. Is there a reason this isn't done? Thanks for your help on this. jon. ... View more

Anybody else have this issue? Just wondered. I'm using Darkredz Video ANE. Love it. But it causes my TOUCH_OUT events to fail after I launch a video (with the ANE).  Pretty much screws up my app. I had a distriqt ANE that did the same thing to TOUCH_OUT. In the end there, I just used the Milkman games version which didn't have the same problem. But I'm seeing this recurring problem and wondering if anyone else has experienced it and, if so, what you did to fix it. Thanks! ... View more

I was playing a Disney game on iOS and they had this great popup at the beginning that was like, "Hey, your silent switch is on. That's why you can't hear anything. Do you want it on?" And I'm like brilliant! What a great way to keep from getting single stars from people who don't know how to work their device! So, does anyone know how to do this in Air with as3? I'm already using the SoundMixer.audioPlaybackMode = AudioPlaybackMode.AMBIENT setting. I just wondered if I could detect whether I can detect whether that switch is on. Thanks! ... View more

Hi, just wanted to know when you'll be pushing an update for Flash Pro that includes the new ios8 icon sizes - 87x87, 120x120 and 180x180. I have an app that's featured in the app store right now and I'd really like to do a quality ios8 update. But Flash Pro overwrites my app.xml file with my new icon sizes.  Help? Also, it would be awesome if the icon sizes that the packager looks for could be kept in a text file or something that it could pull in.  That way, I could update the sizes myself. And if that could happen in Flash Pro CS6, that would be boss! I still use the armature functionality there that has been deprecated. Thanks! ... View more

I'm using flash pro cs6 because I need the IK animation controls.  How do I add ios7 icons to the publish settings?  I add them manually to the app.xml file, but they get deleted when the ipa compiles. ... View more
