Mobile Adobe Systems Development 1
2. Adobe Flash Platform 2
3. Why Flash Platform? Adobe Flash Platform Tooling is
Supported on Windows & Macintosh Flash Player Runtime is
Supported on Win/Mac/Linux, etc Flash Lite 1.0 - Flash Lite 4.0
Flash Player 10.1 Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) Microphone Access
Native Processes Hardware Acceleration 3
6. Multiscreen User Interface / Layout FIXED LAYOUT FLUID /
FLEXIBLE LAYOUT Less File Size Common / Re-usable UI Elements Less
Compromises Common Code Can still manage Common Code Easy Bug Fixes
Easy to manage Screen-speci c Multiple Projects Generally 1 Project
Layout-speci c UI Elements Heavy File Size Dicult Bug Fixes
Non-shareable Project File 6
7. Fixed Layout DESKTOP / TABLET DEVICE 7
8. Flexible Layout LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 8
9. Weigh your Requirements WEIGH 9
10. Flexible Layout FLASH PROFESSIONAL + FLASH PROJECT - Custom
Flexible Layout Class stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; function
setPosition(e:Event):void { if (stage.stageWidth <
stage.stageHeight) { // Adjust UI Elements for Vertical Layout }
else { // Adjust UI Elements for Horizontal Layout } }
setPosition(null); stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,
setPosition) 10
15. Hardware Keys
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown, false, 0,
true); function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void { //Back Key if
(event.keyCode == 94) { event.preventDefault(); // to kill event
from running default behavior //do your own back stuff } //Menu Key
if (event.keyCode == 95) { event.preventDefault(); // to kill event
from running default behavior //do your own back stuff } } 15

27. Content Optimization & Tips Bitmaps for Performance Vs
Vectors for Less Memory Keep bitmaps as small as possible Reduce
number of nodes for Vectors Use opaque background for texts
Experiment with Anti-aliasing options for text Use only if
absolutely necessary (for Mobile Content) Filters Blend Modes
Transparency Perspective Distortion 27
28. Content Optimization & Tips Set Frame Rate as low as
possible Adjust Frame Rate dynamically Combine Event Handlers
functions wherever possible Use EnterFrame over Timers Use
Event.RESIZE over StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE Place
text/graphics on whole pixels (Pixel Boundaries) Avoid object
creation inside loops Instantiate one Library Bitmap and re-use the
BitmapData Use Loader.unloadAndStop(); - Sounds, Listeners, Timers,
HW, etc. 28
29. Video Player Optimization Tips Minimize redraw region
during Video playback Reduce frquency of non-video updates
(Playhead, etc.) Avoid overlapping graphics / transparent overlays
Avoid rotation, skew and perspective projections Do not
CacheAsBitmap Avoid lters, ScrollRect, .z Avoid color transforms,
alpha Stop EnterFrame handlers and Timers Stop all timelines
