Flash player for Ipad

In truth I can't wait till all browsers have Flash's capabilities built in; yet, until then I will have to use Flash, and we will have to purchase systems that use it too.

Wake u.

Adobe has ceased development of Flash for all mobile devices.

Mobile devices will not use Falsh and mobile web browsers will not incorporate Flash capabilities.

Neither will desktop browsers though they do have Flash availability via plug-ins.

I have no clue what your saying.

Are you saying that mobile devices don't want flash? Cause that is just soooo untrue. One of Androids big selling features was that it had flash; yet, now that it's stopped at v11 (which still has gpu accleration that can take advantage of openGL, and makes webGL eat it's dust) everyone is worried about the Android's ability to compete.

Adobe has just decided that it's too costly to port it to every single device all on their own; thus, Adobe has decided to leave it up to the device manufacturars, to decide for themselves, whether or not they are willing to dedicate the resources required to customize the player for their device.

Yet, even with that said. Adobe has stated that anytime the IPad wants the player, it can have it ready in a couple months. I am not sure if this is true; yet, it does get me thinking about the fact that the only reason we don't have it, is because of Apple's anti-competitive blocking of what is actually a superiour technology when compared to HTML5 in it's current state. Like I said in another post... I have to work now, so you keep posting to get the last word, you Apple lover you. I know you want to get that last word. Prove to everyone how much you love your overlord.

Some people will just never get it, eh?

i have to say I've read a lot of stuff on sites like this and i got my ipad2 for Xmas from work its a great little toy BUT i would not pay all that money for what is not much more that a glorified IPHONE this flash player problem is a big Problem and for any1 that says that don't need or use flash content is lying or using the Internet for very boring things but saying that when i want to watch stuff online i use my big boy computer anyway. and that's my 2 cents 😁

There is an app called photon for iPhone and iPad that fully supports flash web brospwsing.

It is true, flash is not secure and adobe will be switching to HTML5 over the next few months or so.

If Flash or Actionscript is only for graphic interfaces may be Adobe needs migrate, but like Flash, AS3 and AIR are so much than this is absurd. Html5 is like the old AS1, need grow, Html5 is like flash of 10 years ago... But without compiling, then only runs over navigators.

Fact: Adobe stops with FLASH Lite and AIR for Linux.

But the power continues... In this moment several OpenSource projects are running with Adobe founds, so many secure servers works with AS3 architecture, thousands of apps are in all markets, millions of websites have Flash assets, and the 99% of desktop or mobile computers including Flash. And in this projects an ways are several companies working to do more great apps and utils. Intel, NVidia, Sony, Samsung are any examples.

Is most possible that flash can run in iOS openly, becouse several apps based on AIR are running yet that Adobe switch to an arcaic and insecure technology like HTML5 like development environment.

And a big note: Designers need learn to use with the best practices any technology, and works with developers, becouse in a future any one technology may be obsolet for their bad practices.

No matter what your knowledge, experience or opinion, I would suspect that the relevent people in the richest company in the world probably have a pretty good idea what they are doing. ;-)

Well then good thing it was a gift.

true Dat my bruda !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉

Most of the text below is copied from this article.. http://www.greensock.com/flash-html5/

HTML/CSS/Javascript are perfectly adequate for many projects, especially sites that don’t require advanced animation and interactivity. But despite all the hype, I don’t think HTML5 is well-suited for all projects. Flash continues to offer some compelling advantages. Here are some things that I think Flash does better today:

• Complex manipulation of Bitmaps at runtime – some pretty amazing effects are possible in Flash using BitmapData and various filters which would be virtually impossible to do in HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript. Canvas looks promising, though.
• Complex 3D WebGL is promising, but it's capabilities and performance are not even close to when compared to flash player 11.
• Complex manipulation of audio at runtime
• Developing and debugging in AS3 is leaps and bounds better because of strict data typing and many other features of the language. This can translate directly into much faster development timelines too.
• Performance – in most cases, Flash is much faster (except text rendering).
• Rich banner ads – I don’t think anyone likes ads, but the reality is that there’s a vast infrastructure built around delivering banner ads with Flash technology. File size restrictions make Flash especially well-suited for banners too.
• Webcam video and audio – I understand there are initiatives in the works for a standard in the browser, but it is far from being something you could rely upon for broad usage in the real world anytime soon.
• Animated text anti-aliasing – HTML/CSS/JavaScript text animations seem more jerky because of the way the text gets anti-aliased in the browser. (anyone know of a solution?)
• Masking with any shape
• Advanced video – alpha channels, DRM, cue points, streaming, etc.
• Ubiquity and consistency – as much as folks like to claim HTML5 is a “standard”, the reality is that the various browsers have some radically different implementations and incompatibilities not to mention the fact that most people aren’t running an HTML5-compliant browser on their desktop/laptop yet. Adoption can be pretty slow too, especially in the government sector. Flash is already on well over 95% of internet-connected desktops/laptops. Flash is also used for many other devices like interfaces on car stereos, printer LCDs, TVs, and more. A swf generally runs the same way on any platform, so there isn’t such a need to implement hacks to work around various browser incompatibilities.
• Stability – When Flash crashes, modern browsers report that the plugin has crashed, but still allow you to continue surfing the web without interruption; yet, if Javascript causes rendering to take too long, because some idiot newbie web developer coded a processor intensive function or infinite loop, the whole browser crashes.

Again the forum is being buggy, and not allowing me to update the few spelling and gramatical errors I see above. Another bad piece of code written by Apple, whom is more concerned with style than functionality.

The forums are Jive Software, not Apple.

Neither Apple nor Adobe support Flash for mobile.

I really can't wait until some enterprising team of lawyers figures out that there is a class action suit here; for, Apple is intentionally anti-competitive, which is disrupting the market, and putting economic pressure on millions.

Tens of thousands of Companies, paying tens of millions for redevelopment and redeployment. I am not just talking about big corporations here. Think about the small business owner that invested several hundred to several thousand in flash development, and their site which was working, can no longer reach the wealthy, as that consumer base has switched to ipads for browsing. In order to reach that wealthy consumer base, they will now need to pay money, which they may not have, in order to have a new website created for them.

This may sound like job creation, as a small number of web developers will have a new opportunity; yet, it's really undue stress on millions of little people that may not be able to afford the costs involved.
