Hi, some background: I have Flash cs3 and Flash cs5.5. I have not yet installed 5.5, as my hard drive is nearly full and I would need to install it in different hardware, and cs3 already fits my current needs. I also own a recent copy of Flash Builder (given for free as an upgrade to the one included in 5.5), even if I have not installed it yet.
I intend to make mobile apps using actionscript3, based on previous developments I already have
1. To make native apps for mobile devices, do I need Flash Builder or can I release Flash native apps directly from Flash 5.5?
2. To make native apps written in actionscript using Flash Builder, can I just install Flash Builder or do I have to install Flex and addictional packages than just opening Flash Builder and tell it yes, yes, next, next,
3. can I acces the gyro sensor of mobile devices from actionscript?
4. from the simple path of just using old flash files made in cs3 or previous versions (even using actionscript 1 or 2) and opening these in Flash builder, and telling it to release for android or ios, which additional steps are required?
So far my plan is to keep doing things in cs3, and buy an additional copy of Flash Builder standard (just the Flash Builder, nothing else) to install in another device, make everything in Flash cs3, and once they are ready for deployment, load them in Flash builder and tell it to release as native apps for android and ios. I intend to buy another copy of FBuilder, since to install the one I already own I probably would have to install the whole studio, and I want as less hastle as posible right now
tnx
