Ännu ett inlägg kom förra veckan i debatten och Flash. Där Daniel Eran Dilger påstår att Flash inte skulle fungera på Touch Screen. Flera sajter hoppade såklart på tåget och höll med att det inte kommer fungera för att Flash (ofta) använder Mouse Over. Ja om man tänker lite så använder sig flera webbsidor just att Mouse Over och Flash klarar av detta också.

Artikeln av Daniel Eran Dilger – An Adobe Flash developer on why the iPad can’t use Flash är bakgrunden till dessa påståenden att Flash inte skulle fungera på Touch Screens.
Mike Chambers svarar ut reder ut hur Flash hanterar Mouse Events och att detta inte är något Flash-specifikt problem på pekskärmar.
Basically, the writer is arguing that because some Flash content uses Mouse over / hover events (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER), and because there is no such event as a hover on a touch devices, then apparently, most Flash content just flat out wont work on touch devices.
I wanted to make a quick post that corrects some of the false assumptions and conclusions presented in the article, which include:
-
1. Hover events do not work in Flash content on devices with touch screens. That is false, they do work.
-
2. Any issue with hover or any other mouse events on a touch screen device, are specific to Flash. They are not. They affect HTML and any other web content as much as Flash.
-
3. Most Flash content relies on hover events. Wrong. I dont have a scientific breakdown on how much Flash content RELIES on hover events, but at least in my experience with the Nexus one, almost all content I have come across has worked well with touch screen input, including those that use hover events.
