I noticed that I still get a lot of hits from sites containing old articles on Flash / ActionScript that I wrote. I’m sure those people are wondering where the Flash stuff went. I haven’t given up on Flash. I just decided to make my main focus the iPhone. In fact in my spare time I’ve been working on porting some turtle graphics code that I wrote in ActionScript to the iPhone. I’ve also been experimenting with writing apps for both the iPhone and Adobe AIR – which is a subject for another post.
Anyway, as you can see from the video, soon you will be able to create apps in Flash – then export directly for the iPhone. As the video points out, they aren’t talking about a browser plugin (since there isn’t one). These are native self-contained apps that you can post and buy from iTunes.

UPDATE: Adobe throws in the towel on Flash for iPhone
