AS3 Reference for iPhone > News > Flash Magazine

AS3 Reference for iPhone > News > Flash Magazine: "A lot of Flash developers are looking into iPhone development and so is Adobe's Mike Chambers. His first iPhone application is a great pocket reference for AS3, covering Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5, and Flex 3.2."


If you've attended any Adobe event recently, you may have received a copy of the Actionscript 3 RIA API Guide. While a paper booklet or PDF is nice to have, nothing beats having information in you pocket wherever you go. Flash Developers have a special interest in new technology and quite a few of us have an iPhone or iPod Touch. By installing Mike's new application, you'll have every AS3 class in the API for the Player, AIR and Flex right in your pocket.

For now, you can only browse the APIs by class name, but Mike has put up a poll where you can suggest and vote for future features. Filtering classes by IDE/Runtime and adding a real lexical search engine is among our favorites.

As with all other iPhone apps, installing it is a breeze and since all the docs are built into the app, you don't need to be online to use it either. Mike has always been great at making it easier to access documentation and he's even built an API for retrieving the LiveDocs page for a given class. This latest addition is a must-have for any Flash Dev with an iPhone. Go ahead and install today!

Update: If you're one of the lucky few americans that have a Google Android phone, Jonathan Dunlap have just made an AS3 Reference for Android as well.
