    Adobe has released ColdFusion 10. The engineering team has done a fantastic job putting this release together.

    As Kevin posted this morning, MAX is going to be moving to Spring and the next MAX will take place on May 4-8th instead of in October. It’s a big change, but one that I’m excited about. Doing it in the spring will align more closely with releases and planning, which is ultimately going to make for a better event. We’ve also completely revamped how we think about content at MAX and as Kevin said, the content is going to focus around 4 major areas: Design and creativity Web sites, including the latest on HTML5, JavaScript and CSS Digital publishing, video, and gaming,…

  • Flash Player 11.3 fullscreen keyboard input

    Lee Brimelow
    10 Apr 2012 | 4:01 pm
    One of the greatest features in Flash Player 11.3 is the ability to accept full keyboard input while in fullscreen mode. This is really important for fullscreen games that need chat or other keyboard input. You can implement this feature very easily by using the FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE mode. See below for the ActionScript code: 1stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; Much like regular fullscreen mode, you need to add a parameter to your HTML code. See the code below: 1<param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" /> When your…

  • An unofficial premium feature FAQ

    Lee Brimelow
    29 Mar 2012 | 4:15 pm
    I thought it would be useful to address some of the questions and concerns that I have been hearing over the last couple of days surrounding premium features. So you’re charging people to make Flash games now? No not at all. It is only the combined use of the domain memory opcodes in conjunction with Stage3D GPU that is subjected to the license. Tools that produce console-quality 3D games like Unity use this technology combination, so in that case, you would need a license. Rovio on the other hand, wouldn’t have needed a license to deliver the awesome Stage3D version of Angry…

Firstly we announced that we now have a partnership in place with Unity. Our teams working together will make their Flash export feature even better in the future. Big shout out to Ralph and the Unity for their awesome work on it! The second thing we announced is a new premium feature model for the desktop browser runtime. This model is there to allow Adobe to make revenue from large, web-based Flash games like the ones that we expect to come out…

  • A Response to Benjamin Sandofsky’s Shell Apps

    ryanstewart
    8 May 2012 | 3:10 pm
    Dion Almaer retweeted an article by Benjamin Sandofsky that covers “shell apps”, or HTML/Hybrid apps in contrast to native apps. His thesis seems to be, from his post: If you plan to write an app for iOS or Android, you will save time and create a better product if you stick to Objective-C and Java, respectively. Which I agree with in principle, but I also found some of his arguments deeply flawed. He spends a lot of time talking about the cross-platform problem of trying to build a web-experience that looks native on iOS and native on Android. Specifically he calls out…

  • The PhoneGap Starter Project

    9 Apr 2012 | 6:54 pm
    As I’ve been digging more and more into PhoneGap Build I’ve also been discovering that there are some gaps in the workflow and that it’s not always easy to go from a feature I want to use to a cross-platform implementation for it. Most of the time I’ll use the PhoneGap documentation as a starter point and then try to wrangle it into a local project and then make that local project work with PhoneGap Build. One of my favorite features of PhoneGap Build is that it can pull directly from a git/svn repository and build binaries from that repo. So last night I did a little…

  • Web Versus Native – Asking the Wrong Questions

    2 Apr 2012 | 12:57 pm
    There’s been a lot of talk lately about web apps versus native. It’s not that the question has ever gone away, but just over the past couple of weeks it seems like it’s been called out a bit more in blog posts. There was a Pew Internet report that covered some of the pros/cons of going web or native. Darryl Taft, one of my favorite press guys, did a writeup earlier this month on the landscape of web versus native and some of the companies involved in blending those two worlds. And then today I saw news about Mojito, a hybrid client-server solution from Yahoo, which is part…

  • Info about Creative Cloud subscriptions for groups

    John Nack
    16 May 2012 | 10:12 am
    I’ve gotten a bunch of questions about how customers can buy Creative Cloud memberships in bulk.  I could send you to a Web page and a PDF—but frankly I didn’t want to read through those any more than you probably do, so I asked around & distilled the highlights: Right now Creative Cloud membership (let’s call it “CCM”) is sold on an individual basis directly from Adobe & a couple of partners like Amazon & Staples. It’s not sold through volume licensing or reseller channel partners (e.g. B&H). There will be a way to buy CCM for groups…

    John Nack
    14 May 2012 | 12:57 pm
    Some perspective from The Next Web: Adobe’s main competitor in this space isn’t competing products, interestingly enough; it’s Bit Torrent. Will $50/month convince the masses that are still pirating the software to go legit? My money’s on yes. A subscription works out to less than $2 a day. That’s less than the cost of a cheap sandwich. And with it you receive full, legal, supported access to all Adobe products with update requests that don’t make you sweat. Adobe has been listening all along and taken a huge but necessary gamble; it has completely revamped its pricing…

  • Sidescrolling Platformer — Part 9 — Animated Player Movements

    Ben Reynolds
    26 Apr 2012 | 8:57 pm
    All great platformers have animated heroes. Even Super Mario, which was released in 1985, used several animations for the player. Why? Because it would look completely unrealistic if Mario just stood frozen in one animation while he runs and jumps around the level. So it makes sense that we should add animations to our player.
