Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Well i've had my smartphone now since christmas, and i thought it would only be a matter of time before the flash player would come on to the smartphone, and the more i read about ported pocket apps, it seemed to me that it would only be a matter of changing a few bitz. However, as you can see there is still now flash player. Would someone please have a go at putting one together, surly the pocket PC version can be altered to work on the smartphone. Being a Flash Designer, the sooner the flash player is out, the sooner i can make shed loads of cool games and stuff. If anyone is up for the challenge i'll gladly be your guini pig.
Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 are u developing it yourself? or have you heard something from macromedia?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Neither, I heard something from someone else (a 100% reliable source btw). All I heard was that a working version exists, no more... P
Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 if anyone has any further details could you please let us know. And thanks Paul for confiming that it's at least on the way.
Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Just an example of how easy it would be to slap together games, here's one i prepard earlier http://www.imymo.com/invader.html
Guest Gorskar Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Cool. I've seen some really nice flash games on the macromedia website - the prospect of them making it to the spv is very droolworthy
Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 too right, have you played the snake game thats available for unlocked SPV's, cos they have a high score upload at the end, which would be possible with the flash player, plus i see no reason why multiplayer games couldn't be developed (battleships, chess or draughts) Check out www.aliveis.com for some cool flash games, all of which could easily be made to work on the SPV. I think if the flash player comes to the SPV a whole new era is gonna arrive, no more worrying about certifying your apps, all your games would be guaranteed to work, the scope is endless. Just hope it arrives sooner rather than later.
Guest ajb3000 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Paul, is that an official signed thing, or a 'bedroom programmer' thing?
Guest Soyale Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Since noone's told me anything I can speculate that it's probably coming from Macromedia. They'd be nuts not to port it.
Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 i'll say................................................ok They'd be nuts not to port it. ;)
Guest midnight Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 sorry, but i must say i hate flash, for interfaces it sucks (mainly overdone, clumsy and big filesize), and for games, well, i aint seen many that are any good, perhaps the xaio xaio games, but thats it, those aliveis games sucked pretty badly.
Guest gradiation Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 i know what you mean, but in my defence (Being a flash programer) the effectivness and usability of flash lies in the hands of the programmer, i personally work hard to bring down file sizes and make flash apps as userfriendly as possible. Flash has a pretty bad rap because people get a hold of it and just start doing cheesey animations or extrodinary navigations that are huge in size. But when it's done properly it can be supurb, lookin better and functioning better than other alternatives. People just need to apprechiate the people who spend the time to do this, i mean i'm sure you have scowered the net for some little app, and have downloaded 10 crappy apps before you find the one that someone has actually spent the time to make it look and feel right.
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Here we go again!!! http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic...highlight=flash
Guest gradiation Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Sorry, didn't mean to go on, just started the topic to find out if anything was heppening with it, not justifying it. everyone has there own oppinion of it. I just wanna get my hands on it cos it's much easier to program games and the likes than with the Smartphone SDK
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Im on your side gradiation!!! Go on as much as you like!! ;) Just that sweeping statements get on my tits.

Guest pbarendr Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 This is the official answer I got from the Macromedia Customer Service: I am sorry but we don't have any future information on the developing the Macromedia Flash Player for MS Smartphone. You can check the Macromedia web page on a regular basis to find out the latest updates. ]http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/ So I do not know if they are really working on it. At least they are not proud enough to already talk about it. But if there is any beta-realease somewhere, I am interested. EyeGrid
Guest gradiation Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php...p=212124#212124 check out this page, i posted up my response from Macromedia and they gave me a URL to a wishlist you can request stuff on, and a page to sign up for beta testing. Please sign the wishlist if you want the SPV Flash Player
Guest ClintEastman Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 "]Neither, I heard something from someone else (a 100% reliable source btw). All I heard was that a working version exists, no more... P It's real..... If they get round to releasing it is a different matter! (flash is CPU cycle hungry) :)
