It’s easier to say not to use Flash, or to use, however Daniel gives you the reasons and options on where to use Flash or not. He talks about common issues as Graphics, 3D, SEO, Development and more. It’s really worth a look!

Protect Flash SWF’S. http://www.beedigital.net/blog/encrypt-you-swf-files-protect-flash-swfs/ http://www.beedigital.net/blog/encrypt-you-swf-files-protect-flash-swfs/#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:19:00 +0000 MJorge http://www.beedigital.net/blog/?p=3787 Nikita Leshenko shares the process so that you can protect your swf files from Flash decompilers. I believe you should be able to follow the process. The tutorial is not suited for beginners, you will need some knowledge from AS3, but if you follow it carefully you will be able to complete the task and protect your swf’s files.

It’s know that iPad’s won’t be able to run Flash content, again, as on iPhone, Apple decided to leave Flash away from their products.

Of course Apple should have their reasons, but I believe that the user experience will be in cause without Flash. Honestly I can’t see great use on iPad, why do you need it, if you can’t enjoy it. I’m talking about videos, games and much more Flash experiences that would make iPad a truly interesting product.

Not sure, but I believe this will be the worst product ever made by Apple, it’s heavy, large, and totally not practical to take with you. If it is to stay at home I believe everyone will prefer their laptops…

All this because of a post at Gizmodo that is generating another war on the comments about Flash usability, size, security etc etc. Take a look and share your two cents!

Cadin Batrack posted a new tutorial at FlashTuts+ about the AS3 DisplacementMapFilter class. He created a cool effect using this class so that you can use as a rollover effect for your buttons. However I believe this effect can be even more explored to achieve any other option you could have in mind. Take a look!
