Yes... building my first cross-platform and multi-screen mobile game was quite a challenge. At the time when I started this project, the Adobe AIR for mobiles (2.5) was quite immature and the best source of solutions and workarounds to new problems (often bugs) was the Adobe's Flash Community forum. I'm going to share here some techniques I learnt and used in Jumping Droid game. I encourage you to try them, experiment and mix with others, to achieve better optimisation and better performance.

Nearly half year after I published a quick tutorial on how to set everything up to build AIR apps for Android, I find it pretty much outdated... At that time Flash developers could export their projects for Android using AIR 2.5 and for iOS using PFI (Packager for iPhone) which had functionalities matching AIR 2.0.

In this article I will go through steps to create and publish your first simple app for both devices - Android and iPhone using Flash Professional CS5 and AIR 2.6.
