I can tell you as a professional Flash developer since Flash 3 that as far as performance goes on mobile, Flash is astronomically nowhere near Corona for high performance apps - in fact it performs hideously.
Might want to keep an eye on the next Adobe release if they implement hardware acceleration properly though, as visual editing tools do streamline a lot of asset creation which is where Flash is currently better.
I am loving Corona though and it does blitz Flash in almost every aspect on mobile platforms at the moment. [import]uid: 9428 topic_id: 7233 reply_id: 25444[/import]
Please make links in forums open in new windows. Or give us a new window icon next to the links. I know. I’m lazy. Still, when I click a link here, I’m not intending to leave. [import]uid: 13859 topic_id: 7233 reply_id: 25458[/import]
Interesting that the developers of "CrapSlowAndInstable"TM (flash on mobile or osx) are entitled to “acknowledge something” in a field where they have no relevance and reputation at all and have the nerve to list themself in the same … Its shocking that they haven’t realized yet that their iOS / Android performance is shamefull
But it shows that Corona is a fine technology and thats fine [import]uid: 34188 topic_id: 7233 reply_id: 25573[/import]
I Hope there are no plans of *mergers* with the mother-ship for the founders. Injection of some venture capital and cash would be nice, but not at the risk of losing the platform to a corporation that will take it out of the reach of the masses into the hands of a select few.
Adobe had their chance a couple of years ago, however what they can do is try to facilitate a professional IDE that works with CoronaSDK and release it as OpenSource (to atone for their missed opportunity when they had one)
