Overview:
The adoption of Adobe® FlashTM. technology in embedded devices is one of the most exciting developments of the past few years. What started as a need to play Flash games on cellphones has exploded into the desire to build entire user interfaces based solely on Flash and Flash-related technology.
Nevertheless, using Flash successfully in an embedded device is not without its challenges; an embedded Flash developer must address many issues related to consistent performance, reliability, high performance in small-footprint systems, and interaction between Flash and operating system services.
This webinar will discuss the design choices around these four issues:
Consistency - How do you make the Flash-based user interface perform consistently under all load conditions? (Most devices must respond quickly to user input at all times and this requires a level of priority control and realtime performance.)
Reliability - How can you keep the Flash-based user interface reliable? Can your system monitor for failure and properly recover? Will the Flash content reliably coexist with critical embedded processes?
Performance - How can you tune for the highest performance and smallest footprint?
Interactivity - How do you control the ways in which Flash content interacts with other content, including operating system services (audio output, microphone input, touchscreens, internet, disk services, etc), other embedded programs (web browsers, etc) and other flash content, whether proprietary or downloaded from the web.
Attendees will not only explore the issues involved in integrating Adobe Flash technology, they'll also learn about design tradeoffs and real-world solutions for implementing Flash successfully into embedded devices.
Who should attend?
This one-hour seminar, which includes a short Q&A, will be of great interest to embedded software developers and system integrators as well as graphic designers and HMI developers.
