Building Blackberry Playbook apps with AS3

I have just posted a new tutorial on Scriptplayground teaching you how to configure and develop your first Blackberry Playbook app using ActionScript 3.

Look for more tutorials on this and other mobile topics coming soon, along with a whole new Scriptplayground experience, being worked on now! If you’d like to contribute with tutorials or on the site itself please leave a comment.

As mentioned a few days ago I had the opportunity to speak at MiniMAX in Santa Monica last Wednesday evening. Well I have posted the slides (not sure how useful they are) and all of the source code from the talk. I have also posted the slide app (written in Flash) and slide controller (AIR/Android app) source code for you to learn from and use on your own.

Soon I will be posting tutorials on Scriptplayground covering AIR/Android and other Flash mobile topics, along with a full site rollout in the near future.

Enjoy, comment, share and most of all, happy coding!

No you aren’t living in the twilight zone, Apple has indeed lifted its 3.3.1 restriction. This of course is huge for the Flash community as we can now once again create mobile apps using the Flash for iPhone Packager that is included in Flash CS5.

Not only can you create apps, but existing apps have started to become approved as of today and even Adobe announced the news, ending with a note they will continue development.

So in the end Adobe comes up on top, and I still hate Apple for putting us through this, but glad its over… at least for now. Hopefully Apple will lift their baseless ban on Flash for mobile Safari.
