In this tutorial (divided in 9 chapters) we will create a prototype of a typical RSS reader for mobile devices using Adobe Flash Catalyst “Panini” importing the entire layout from Adobe Illustrator CS5.
We will use some of the most important components available in Flash Catalyst – “DataList”, “VerticalScrollBar”, “ScrollPanel”, “TextInput” - applying transitions and iterations in order to enable navigation and create a more pleasant user experience.
We will also analyze the UI import process from Illustrator to Flash Catalyst and we’ll structure the project so that the mxml …

Thanks to Adobe AIR you can easly develop native applications for your Android (OS 2.2) devices using the current Flash Platform tools like Adobe Flash CS5 Professional and Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 (codename Burrito).
This also means that you can use 3rd party API, like the Twitter or the GoogleMap API, to build your own custom mesh-up application.
So, this time I have build a new prototype to display all my YouTube Channel content, from the playlists to a single video, using the YouTube AS3 API

…..finally yes!!
I have published on my YouTube Channel a new video where i show how the same ActionScript 3.0 code (a photogallery IPhone style) can works on multiple devices: Apple, Android, desktop and web.

This month I spent a lot of time to test the new interesting features of Air for Android but I didn’t really pay attention about performance.
So, last weeks, when one of my friends finally got the Apple certificate and he told me that IPhone/Air performance really sucks I decided to spent a day to understand how really Adobe Air for Android is fast.

Wow!!! Finally Adobe Flash on my phone… again.
I was waiting for it from the first Flashlite version on Nokia S60.
Infact, after the previous FlashLite experience, Adobe is working on the Adobe AIR version for mobile devices available on all Android phones with OS > 2.2 (the last version in this moment, codename Froyo)
Now it’s still in a beta, so it’s not officially available on your Flash CS5, but it will be available soon.

In this article we’ll build an XML-driven video gallery exploring a lot of new Flex 4 features (out in spring 2010): skinning spark components, spark containers, new states and transitions; but we’ll also use some “old” concepts like itemRenderers, custom events dispatch, load data from an xml file (using the Singleton design pattern), value objects, embedding fonts, css and a lot of other useful stuff when you develop Flex applications.

The Wii nunchuck controller contains a 3 axis accelerometer, one joystick and 2 buttons for only 20 euro and you can easly use it to manage your Arduino applications.
In this article we’ll see how to move two servo motors using this controller (providing two videos, prototype images and complete source code)
