The following book excerpt is Chapter 5, “Application Development,” from Foundation Flash for Mobile Devices by Richard Leggett, Scott Janousek, and Weyert de Boer, published by friends of ED. It is just the book you need to learn how to take advantage of the ever-expanding audience of mobile application users.
