I would like to develop a simple contact list iPhone application in Flash CS5.
I'm a web developer, and I have no experience with iPhone yet.
How can I save the data of contacts? As I know, flash just post the data to a page, but what page, if it is an app?
It's a off-line app, where the database should be?
Flash CS5 Packager for iPhone doesn't support the Address Book Framework on iOS. The Packager for iPhone only support the following native iOS API:
MultiTouch
Screen Orientation
Saving images to Photo Library
Accelerometer
Geo-location
Cut / Copy / Paste

I have some flash files and i need to integrate those files in iPad app. i searched lot but everyone's answer is
- iOS will not support flash.
- even if you integrate flash files app store will not accept.
But my app is not for app store this is an enterprise app. Instead of integrating flash files we can do all the animation in our objective-c itself. But client is demanding to integrate flash files in iPad app. Is there any alternate solution. Please guide me.
Sure you can run Flash apps on iOS, you just have to build them using AIR:
Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime that enables you to use your
existing Flash/ActionScript or HTML/JavaScript development skills and
tools to build and deploy applications, games, and videos outside the
browser and on mobile devices.
Here is the specific resources page on how to build Flash ActionScript 3 apps targeting any iOS device.
The beauty of AIR is that if the code of your app is well organized, you can reuse most of it for any build being it for Android, iOS, Blackberry, or even a desktop app (windows and macosx) or the web.
Hybrid way:
Flash to html5 conversion then open HTML document using webview
Google swiffy:
Swf to HTML 5
Note:
maximum of 1 mb only be converted at present

Adobe wallaby:
Fla to HTML 5
Note:
At present cs5 only supported.the lower versions have to be resaved in cs5 to convert.

Native way:
Adobe air:
One could run actioscript flash content directly in ios devices.
Note:
At present you could make stand alone ios apps only you can't integrate with existing app.

It is a detour only, but you could install the Photon browser and call it from your app.
I've created an android app that uses WebView, through Eclipse, to display a website and navigate through it. However, now I've been assigned with creating the same app for the iPhone/iPad.
Is there any way to implement something as simple as a WebView for the iPhone while programming it through Flash Builder? (First time developing for Apple products...)
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
With Adobe Air 3 you can publish apps for iOS. Making a UIWebView in objective-c (cocoa) and then load an external flash app (or site) won't work, since iOS devices don't allow flash embedded objects
Create app with NewDigitalTimes Free Apps Creator based on Adobe Air technology. This immediately gives all the functionality for push-notifications, analytics and advertising. Else you can use animation in app. Customize the showing Web site in the native iOS application with specifying the link.
I want to implement read/scan bar code in my iPhone application. I would like to know how to implement it into our iPhone app and also some links and example code and apps to check out how it works.
You can use our free app pic2shop as an external barcode scanner (from a web page or from another app). Here is a demo and detailed info: http://www.pic2shop.com/developers.html
It works even on non-autofocus devices (iPad2, iPod Touch, iPhone 3G and many Android phones).
I'm developing iPhone app in Flash CS5 and I wondering if there is a new function in AS3 for specific applications on the iPhone apps, and wondering too if they are component like iPhone style buttons for flash. Thanks!

I'm building an asp.net web application for an iphone using jQtouch. How can I read the device serial number from asp.net mvc?
In short, I don't think you can get the device ID through iPhone Safari.
iPhone Safari, like any other browsers, works in a black-box model and only let through a selective set of information about the system, such as geo-location and device orientation. The Safari Web Content Guide by Apple documents several features specific to Mobile Safari.
A lot of the API's like JQTouch are interacting more and more with the device itself with things like geo-location etc. When I need to get more into the device and hardware I use tools like PhoneGap that allow you to work directly with the device like a native app (almost) still using javascript to do this. PhoneGap opens up the device functions to embed in your web page to leverage in your application. The catch is it is still a web site, but is now an application and must be added to the device through the likes of the app store or market etc.
You can read more at www.phonegap.com . I have had good luck with it so far combining JQTouch and PhoneGap.
