lol Kev.. yeah I'm actually finishing one now.. converting an existing Flash app to the iphone format.
Good resource for anyone who will get on this when Flash CS5 comes out:

Some of the terrific things in Flash CS5 for iPhone are:
- accelerometer events
- geoposition (GPS) events
- gesture and multi-touch events
- cacheAsSurface method in order to take advantage of iPhone's Open GL ES hardware acceleration
- sick physics engine
- full GPU graphics acceleration and hardware h.264 acceleration
- You can play any videos inside the iPhone app built with CS5 if they are OnV6 and Sorenson encoding. If they are not (like h.264) you will have to open iPhone's native video player.and a lots more but i can't talk about it because it's under NDA.

the iphone app feature is going to be total shit... let me ask you this... what current code that adobe writes for you, do you actually use?
exactly...

when is CS5 going to be released? the full upgrade for Flash and all of the Suite?
- boobs0
I don't want to fork out for another CS upgrade. My wallet still hurts from the last one. I don't think any of the new features made me a goddam penny, or saved me any net time (after the headache of installing it, and learning about the new features...). In fact, I think Adobe still owe me a week's time down the drain on CS4.

until they have a plugin for the Eclipse Flash Builder I'm not getting excited.

Eh? Not sure I understand.. no serious dev will use automation code generated by Adobe packages. You will write your own code.
Flash CS5 you write in AS3 and Adobe built a compiler that translates that code to objective-c under the hood.
I have not used Adobe's code from Dreamweaver or Flash's HTML in ages. They are there to help those with less knowledge and make it easier. This doesn't mean their apps suck. Quite the opposite I think Dreamweaver is one of the best editors out there and have tremendously helped me in my workflow.
- +1 i hate hearing that auto generated code is the downfall of an editor... edit it yourself and quit bitchingapplepirate

all i know is i like using flash and having the ability to port it over to the iphone will be pretty cool in my books. i'm sure there'll be hiccups but if it saves me time in the long run i'm all for it.

I want to know how I can build apps for the iphone with Flash and post them on the app store or somewhere and then just collect the money, like 10cents ea. download. The app idea I have in mind is really really good.

I'm still pissed at how much CS4 sucks compared to CS3, and how much CS3 sucks compared to CS2.
I don't use any of the "new" features. Exporting from Photoshop/Illustrator to Flash still sucks (Illustrator CS4 exports AS2 SWFs, WTF?!), they take forever to load, and most of all they all crash more and more with each release.
Apple needs to start making some more software...

learn to write as... you'll get passed all that :)like mentioned above - automated script is shit...
... and you'd get to learn fairly proper object oriented programming which will only make you that more valuable
- rosem0
I know AS very well. Flash Builder 4 is the only thing Adobe is putting out that isn't shit — and that's built off another program. :P

How do I get my AE file to import into flash cs3?
I need to make my AE file a .swf but it doesnt work as a .swf when i export from AE.
Any setting I should look for? I guess I shouldn't be making .swf files in AE?
- the flash file imports as a video player for some reason. Never used flash before.FredMcWoozy

haven't used it but I have used the apps they put on the store, fucking horrendous and can't even do a single alpha fade without dropping frames.- This is because the Open GL ES hardware acceleration APIs are still not final. It's improving.Boz

i'm excited for cs5 to see how this is implemented:
- XML based FLA files — Manage and modify project assets using source control systems and enable teams to easily collaborate on files.no more binary fla's? that'd be awesome
- Yes.. XML based FLAs are fantastic. It collects all your assets too (it's like a zip file) and you can edit those independently from Flash.. Great stuff!Boz
