I'm posting all of the materials so that if you want to fool around with anything you saw in my demos, you're all set.

It contains:

• Fireworks Composition in PNG
• 6 FXP files for the various stages of the application
• 1 FXP file for an ActionScript only version of the project, which does away with Flash Catalyst and Flex.

In this last video installment, I'll show you how to take your desktop AIR application and turn it into a mobile one:

For my second video in the series, I'll show you how to take a Flash Catalyst interactive composition and turn it into a stand-alone application using Flash Builder and Adobe AIR.

For my first video in this series, I'll show you how to take an idea from one of Adobe's design tools (Fireworks) to a working prototype using Flash Catalyst

I'm starting up new little series entitled "Holy Crap, I'm a Mobile Developer." The idea is that somewhere along the way I developed the ability to build applications for mobile devices, specifically Android. Sadly I can't take any credit for this. The Flash Platform engineering teams did this to me.

In my series of demos, I'm going to show how to take a static Fireworks composition and turn it into an application running on a Nexus One. I start out using Flash Catalyst to turn the static composition into an interactive one (interactive composition sounds better than "dumb prototype"). After Catalyst, I add business logic using Flash Builder. Finally I use the AIR 2.5 SDK and the Android SDK to convert it to an Android app and drop it onto my phone.

My point here with these posts is to show off just how frickin' easy it is to get your stuff onto a mobile device with the Flash Platform. It's so easy that I can do it. That's not false modesty, I'm mostly a back-end ColdFusion expert; on the front-end though, I'm usually at a loss. Not with these tools, I'm not. These tools make me look like a front-end genius. So I hope you enjoy this series.
