Making Flash Sites cross platform
Posted on 2011-03-20
I am pretty new to Web design and have a few clients with Flash sites. How can I make their existing sites work across multiple platforms - for example Iphones and IPads.
They are HTML sites and I use Dreamweaver CS5.
Thanks!

Hi dsmjeff,
The iDevices don't support Flash and there is a good chance they never will. If that is an important market for you then you need to redirect those browsers to a non-Flash site or re-evaluate the use of Flash entirely.

Adobe has announced a product that has (at this stage *very*) limited support to convert Flash into HTML5 that will run on iOS devices.

I agree with jason1178 that Flash support is unlikely ever to make it to iOS platforms. At least (and I am serious about this) while Steve Jobs is at the helm of Apple. From what I've read It appears to be a personal issue with him, and were he to step down another CEO may see it differently, particularly as Android grows in use.

Even after Jobs leaves, there will be no Flash support. The whole iPhone/iPad/iPod experience is geared towards simplicity and stability. This is why the app store exists and we are locked into it even for the free apps. All apps are extensively tested for stability before being allowed to be distributed as Apple biggest fear is having the iDevices start throwing blue screens of death or the apple equivalent.
Flash would massively destabilize the browser and slow the whole process to a crawl and probably cause some crashes. It's not coming to an iPhone near you anytime soon.
