1. Flash Sizing Zen: Android Devices
Getting Android to Respect Your Intent
by Allen Ellison Solutions Architect @ Adobe
When you bring Flash games and content to the multi-screen web using Flash Player 10.1, it can be a challenge to get your content to displayed consistently across devices as you intended; in terms of size, orientation, alignment, interactivity and full-screen behavior. This becomes even more complex when you start taking web tablets into consideration.
There are a number of obstacles to creating a consistent and usable experience including mobile content transcoders, mobile devices that behave in certain ways to make a web experience really intended for desktop systems accessible to mobile users, an inconsistent use of HTML tags and meta-tags across device families, and user-configurable browser or device settings.
So, in order to create an experience that scales gracefully between desktop browsers and mobile browsers, this session will walk you through the steps necessary to eliminate the various potential points of variation.
2. Particle Systems 101
by Alec McEachran, Senior Software Engineer @ Gaia Interactive
If you have ever wanted fire, waterfalls, clouds, snow or myriad other effects in your Flash games, then you have needed to create particle systems. There are loads of particle effect systems out there that might suit your needs, but if you want your games to remain fast, you have to roll your own.
In pure AS3, this session will look at one way to build a fast particle system from the ground up, and survey some of the techniques for moulding your particles into the effects you’re looking to achieve.
