The latest version allows the use of flv files in comparison to only device videos in the previous versions. Using Adobe ActionScript developers are adding a lot more to mobile applications and matching them with the ones on the desktop and the laptops.
With this technology you can easily pack more animation and graphics into the same file size provided by the use of vector graphics. Applications created on this platform follow “write once, run anywhere” (WORA) methodology which does not depend on specific APIs being available which ultimately results in little or no porting.
