Ramblings of Nick Robillard

Flash is coming to the iPhone - well kinda. The web player will not be supported - instead, and even better, Flash applications will be compilable as native iPhone apps. So really, for 99% of users, Flash for the iPhone is not coming in the way they had hoped.

Personally, I could care less about Flash player support. What titillates me, as a Flash developer, is that I'll be able to make full-featured native apps using something I already know intimately. And that's freaking awesome.

I know this is late coming, but I remember wishing that as2 had php-like functions such as str_replace(), addslashes(), md5(), etc. Well now it does.
Just include this .as using the compiler directive and look through the documentation to see what functions are available. Of course this is a work in progress and could use some cleanup.
