Porting Flash Lite content to the Apple Iphone:b.Tween

Via Thomas Joos , This week they released Rock Werchter Mobile Guide, a music festival application in Adobe Flash lite. “The cool part is that for the first time in the mobile history we ported our Flash Lite Project to the iphone/ipod touch, taking advantage of all the oppurtunities the iphone UI has to offer. He used b.Tween: an eyeGT FRAMEWORK technology to make this work 🙂Few advantages:

  • The code that uses the framework is compiled to machine code, that means several orders of magnitude faster than the ActionScript equivalent (AS3 in Flash 9 is JIT compiled but we are talking about mobile platforms here where there is no AS3 and no JIT compilation, for the moment at least)
  • Parts of the code that are unused are left out the final compiled application, so size and time to transmit/load are reduced to the minimum
  • Native code can access ANY feature of the hosting platform: wants Bluetooth? Wants to process received SMS? Wants to read the phone book? All possible from native applications not so from a player based one.

Cool, read the complete process to how to Port Flash Lite content to Apple Iphone.
