Labs

Really happy. Almost more than a year of hard work and finally I get to see the results in Adobe Labs.

The Flash Lite Distributable Player technology is finally available on  Adobe Labs. What is more is that, the solution found a place in the home page of the Labs. I am really happy. I still remember that it was October 2007 when I started to prototype this solution and here it is today available to the end user.

The distributable player solution enables developers to create rich applications for the latest version of Adobe Flash Lite and directly distribute their content to millions of open OS smartphones, providing a better on-device user experience.

Photoshop Vs Flash – Masking

Mask (n): A covering to disguise or conceal something

I am very new to Photoshop and Flash. I was creating a couple of layers in Photoshop and tried to mask one layer with another. This resulted in the top layer hiding the image in the bottom layer. When I tried to do the same thing with Flash, I got completely confused. Why? Because, in Flash, if we apply a Mask, the Mask actually reveals the contents underneath it and hides the remaining content.

Both these products use the same word to represent different stuff. Confusing isn’t it.
