[Flashcoders] OT: Interactive conferences
We're transitioning away from Flash mostly and into the HTML/Javascript/CSS world of interactive development. We used to attend Adobe Max, but since we're doing less and less with Adobe products, what conferences would you suggest? What is/are the biggest and best interactive design conferences for people in our industry that use these technologies? Bascially, we were Flash developers and now do most of our stuff with Javascript/HTML/CSS to build interactive simulations and games for learning. What would be the equivalent of Adobe Max? Thanks!

Since this might also be about tools you might want to see on your visit, what do tools/IDEs you use (especially Javascript)?

Ha, well right now I am mostly just using Dreamweaver (don't ask, but to sum up, I can't install other tools myself on my work machine) for HTML/Javascript/CSS. I'm really more about learning the languages and techniques rather than the tools though, but good question!

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May I'd second Fluent, based on feedback I got about the last one. I didn't attend myself, though. Once you have a specific toolset, you might find other, more directed, conferences. For example, we do a lot of stuff with Sencha (Touch, EXT-JS, EXT for GWT, Sencha Designer) and they have their own conference called, appropriately enough, SenchaCon. On an unrelated note, I recommend you check out Sencha Designer, which is shaping up to be a very nice tool. You might also want to check out Google I/O - although this is certainly not a JS conference, they do cover a lot of technologies that rely heavily on JS.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Interactive conferences
I have switched to HTML5, from Flash, for my web apps as so many of my customers want to use iPad. My apps are medical in nature (use of them requires proper professional credentials) and so I don't want to put them on the App store. I charge a subscription fee for access to the apps and issue Usernames and Passwords to the subscribers. After a long search and trial of many tools, I settled on HandHeldDesigner. It is the closest programming tool to Flash that I have seen and so far I have been able to do anything with it that I have wanted. It is available on the Mac App store and at http://handhelddesigner.com I have no affiliation with the program or the author.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Interactive conferences
I was a big FDT user, but 5.5 really started to mess with my flow. I never was a big fan of Flex/Flash Builder. I switched to IntelliJ IDEA for AS and have just continued that through now as I'm doing almost zero Flash work in lieu nearly all HTML now. I really like the tool, and to be able to use the same environment for Flash and JS helps a lot.

The Sencha stuff is certainly worth looking in to, considering previous Flex/Flash evangelists are on the Sencha team now. Of course, that's a larger framework that comes with certain expectations as opposed to understanding the underlying technology and learning needed to excel in that field. Remix South, founded and organized by one of my colleagues may be of interest as well. I'm not sure where you are located, Jason, but it might be of some value to connect with those that are converting from the Flash to web space. This conference, specifically, is growing rapidly and many of those attending came from the 'interactive designer' or 'interactive developer' space and are broadening their interests. http://remixsouth.com/ BTW, I miss this list. I spent many years on flashcoders and flexcoders and have moved on.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
FITC is a great conference, I love it for the different aspects of design and technology, and it comes fron the Flash side. I am living in europe and we have multi - mania in Belgium, a great conference and all free. http://www.multi-mania.be/2013/conference/ There are always lots of smaller, regional meetings which can give new input: But a good start, as others mentioned here too, is Sencha. They provide a few groups/meetups: http://www.sencha.com/meetups Where I found people for answers or questions.

We used to attend Adobe Max, but since we're doing less and less with Adobe products, what conferences would you suggest? What is/are the biggest and best interactive design conferences for people in our industry that use these technologies? Bascially, we were Flash developers and now do most of our stuff with Javascript/HTML/CSS to build interactive simulations and games for learning. What would be the equivalent of Adobe Max? Great question. Many, like us, are in the same transition as you. Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May, followed by DefCon5, which is in our hood, NYC, late July.

[Flashcoders] Multilingual apps for Flash with as2
Hi All, I am creating a multilingual as2 app and the data for this app will come from XML. I need to target almost 17 language(including Arabic and urdu). I have heard that Arabic and urdu are very difficult to implement in flash. Can anyone guide me in right direction to implement these languages. Any suggestions in this regard would be great Regards Sumeet Kumar ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Multilingual apps for Flash with as2
Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and a few other languages read right to left. They are actually called bi-directional, because quotes from an left-to-right language will appear left to right, in the middle of the r-l script. Things like periods and decimal points are difficult to deal with. But Flash does have bi-di support. I think that all you need to do is have the right font to display your bi-di text.
