Flash CS5.5: Simple Android app - deploying to a device

At this point we've created a simple Android app using Flash Professional CS5.5 and now it's time to deploy it to a device. I'll show you the steps necessary to prep the phone for testing and how to use FPCS5.5 for deployment.

Any project files will be at my website http://www.tutorialsbyibrent.com. You can follow my tutorial roadmap here -- http://bit.ly/lFcxGD

@aki20947 You can do most of this with Flash CS5 and the AIR 2.6 SDK. It involves a bit of work to overlay the SDK, but it's doable (do a Google search for overlaying 2.6 with Flash CS5). I'd suggest you get the upgrade though as you'll get a lot more functionality including iOS support.

After a dozen of futile attempts to deploy an app from flashdevelop i finally realized that i forgot about the preliminary settings on the mobile device itself..THX man. You've just made my day.

Will CS5.5 work on phones that don't support flash? Meaning that after the file is compiled and ready for market will anyone with and Android smart phone download it or just with flash capability?

Hi brent!

Nice video.

When i try to publish with that definitions flash says that i don't have enough space on my device. Well, i have 1GB free in card and another 100MB in phone.

In XDA developers they said that maybe is a problem with permissions.

Can you help me?

Thank you :)

Hi. I am wondering if you know what the hardware requirements are. I have an Optimus V with Froyo 2.2 and get the Device Error message. So I need a different Android device to be able to deploy? (Good tutorials by the way)

[JonathanBCormier]

@iBrent Thanks! That was the problem. My phone does not meet the hardware requirements.

@JonathanBCormier See if you can install the Adobe AIR runtime through the Google Market. If it doesn't show up in your search while on your device, then your device may not be supported. Even though 2.2+ is required, there are some hardware requirements as well.
