Great new, we were able to get Adobe’ Game Developer Evangelist Lee Brimelow to present on Developing GPU-Accelerated Games and Apps for Android Devices Using Adobe Flash and AIR! He is in town to present at Qualcomm’s Uplinq conference, so we had to change the meeting day. We will be holding it in the South Building in the conference room at 6pm.
About the Presentation:
Discover the benefits of using Adobe Flash and AIR for developing games on Android devices. Learn how to take full advantage of GPU acceleration on Snapdragon smartphones and tablets to create exciting and dynamic games with fantastic performance. See demos and examples of finished games as well as actual code samples that will help you create and optimize great Flash and AIR apps for mobile.

A big congratulations to Demian Borba on hosting another successful Flash Camp Brasil.
The hot news from the conference was the presentation by Arno Gourdol,
Director of Engineering for Adobe’s Flash Runtime on “Sneak Peek of Future of the Flash Runtime!”
Here are the highlights from the presentation:
- Faster GC : GC hint API and more.
- New numeric types : float and float4 (very useful for Molehill in the future).
- Concurrency : Worker threads (shared nothing model) to leverage multicore CPU’s. No more UI ‘s blocked when doing expensive operations.
- Stage3D : The API used for Molehill (that you know through the Incubator builds).
- StageVideo : Allowing full GPU acceleration (decoding + blitting) when used with H.264. Part of Flash Player 10.2 and coming to AIR soon.
- Threaded video pipeline : Will decode non H.264 streams on another thread (H.264 being decoded by the GPU), Net I/O will also be moved to another thread, all this bringing smoother playback.
If you are curious about the slides, you can download them here.

The folks over at Action Creations used AIR to create a multi-screen SurfVote app for the Association of Surfing Professionals. You read about their process on their site: http://blog.actioncreations.com/developing-the-asp-surf-vote-app
These beta 4 runtimes for the Windows and Mac OS desktop environments can be now be downloaded from Adobe Labs. Note, this does not include a beta version of the AIR SDK to enable mobile, television and desktop application development.
