You’ll use the Adobe SimController to simulate mobile device interactions within Flash Professional CS6. The simulator can emulate specific mobile device interactions such as tilting the device (using the accelerometer), touch gestures such as swiping and pinching, or even using the geolocation functions. However, Flash Professional CS6 features a mobile device simulator that can help make that testing and debugging easier. Moreover, you have to factor in the additional time and effort required for testing and debugging on a separate device. To publish Flash content for a mobile device, you target AIR for Android or AIR for iOS to create an application that viewers download and install on their devices.Ĭreating an app for mobile devices is a little more complicated than creating an application for the desktop because you have to obtain specific developer certificates for distribution.

You can also publish Flash content for mobile devices running on Android or on Apple’s iOS, such as the iPhone or iPad.
