Thanks Jason. I thought it was a very well presented session. Lots of really useful information in there!!
Thanks!
A quick question, I’m presuming that using the multiDPI bitmap solution will mean that all the bitmaps are stored in the APK/IPA/BAR file, increasing overall filesize. Is this correct?
Yes, if using @Embed or bundling the assets in the packaged app. You can also point each source to a URL to load on the fly to avoid the file size cost, but you add a network dependency of course. There’s trade-offs to both. We’ve found the file size is generally less of a concern for app installs since it’s a one time operation. Web-based SWFs authors are generally more concerned about SWF size.
Great preso Jason, thanks!
I wanted to mention that the recording is now available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/events.html
Thanks, I’ll post the link soon.
