Flash Player for mobile browsers won’t be in development anymore. This is not big surprise in my opinion.
Adobe shifted focus to AIR for mobile and HTML5. It is possible to build native apps for desktop and mobile with AIR.
Note: Development of Adobe AIR for Linux was cancelled during summer 2011. AIR supports Mac, Win and mobile devices.
You can read more about this game changing decision at Adobe’s blog.
First testing version of Emglare Mobile 0.1 is available on Android Market.
Functionality of application is quite small. It just allows to search for events. Further features will be added in future.
Feel free to test it and give some feedback to Emglare development team.
You can use application even without having Emglare account.
What I mean by multi-target?
Today it is possible to create Flex project that runs in browser as Flash application. Other option is to create mobile or desktop application using AIR.
The question is how to structure bigger projects that need to target web, mobile and desktop.
Let’s assume that we’re developing multiple applications and therefore it is good to have common library which aggregates common functions.
That is sufficient when you’re targeting just one platform. Once you need to support more projects then one common library is not enough.
It is reasonable to split this library into the main core that is common for all projects and then create specialized libraries for AIR, web and mobile.
On the top of these libraries you can build final applications for desired platform.
Recap:
AIR 2.7 was released! Many new things and improvements. AIR now supports Mac, Win, Android and Blackberry devices.
You can use JavaScript, ActionScript, HTML, MXML or native code to build your application.

World of mobile devices is quite complex. Increasing number of operating systems and platforms is spliting market and making it harder to implement app that works across different devices.
Thankfully there are some good solutions. Flex development team made a huge step forward and they prepared tools for whole workflow.
If you’re interested in mobile development take a look at this video from Edge newsletter.
I’ll show part of this workflow also this week in Prague at Android Dev Camp. So feel free to stop by. We can discuss many topics related to mobile and Flex/AIR. 
Hooray! 
New features in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for Flex developers:
David Deraedt released Lupo tools for translating AIR/ActionScript apps quite long time ago. Unfortunately something is broken on his web site. Instead of AIR installer badge there is only warning that you should upgrade Flash Player.
AIR packages are still available, you can download them via direct link:
