One App Interacting Across 5 Screens

In this video I show an app created in Flash Professional CS5.5 and running across 5 screens:
  • Android Mobile (Droid)
  • iPad
  • Android Tablet (Motorola Xoom)
  • BlackBerry PlayBook
  • Desktop Browser (Chrome)
The powerful thing going on is that each device is talking to each other in REAL TIME! The Android is the controller that moves the kayaker across all the screens!  Welcome to one of the many powerful features of Flash known as Peer to Peer.  Oh, and no special server is required.  All that’s needed is that they need to be on the same network. Or you can use LiveCycle Collaboration Services for easier and more robust features.
