The HTML5 Flash Marriage: Geolocation source

Posted by on Mar 8, 2010 in Flash Player, html5 | 3 comments

Last Friday I blogged about how HTML5 and Flash could also just work together. A few people have asked if they could get the source files. I just packaged and uploaded the FLA, ActionScript class and HTML files. Download the zip file here.

A few people have also noted that the demo doesn’t work across different platforms even when using the same browser. While I wanted to demonstrate how Flash and HTML5 can coexist and even complement each other, it is (sadly) also a demonstration on how HTML5 is being implemented differently across browsers and operating systems. Feel free to post a comment if you know about fixes or workarounds in the JavaScript to make it work on more browsers.

“What’s new in FP10.1 and AIR2″ slides and source files

Earlier this week I did a presentation on all things new in Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2 at FITC in Amsterdam. While it’s impossible to cover everything in an hour, it should give you a good idea on some of the new features.

You can download the sources as well. I’ve included both the Flex project files (.FXP) as well as the mxml files for those of you that are not yet on Flash Builder 4. Remember that you must have the AIR 2 SDK installed to use these examples.

Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 was released earlier this week. Make sure you download the latest beta and test your content!
