Using Adobe Flash Lite for iPhone with Corona
Corona, is a software development kit for the iPhone. It allows less-technical designers to create applications much as they would using . Corona supports a simpler set of programming commands than Apple does, yet it still allows developers to use the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer (which lets you control an app by moving the phone around, rather than tapping on the keyboard) and built-in graphics acceleration.
Ansca is a new software company led by an award-winning team of former Adobe mobile software veterans responsible for the leadership and technical breakthroughs that helped Adobe Lite reach nearly a billion devices.
Ansca is privately funded. The management team aren’t experienced startup managers, but they have years of immersion in culture as Adobe employees. CEO Carlos Icaza has 20 years’ engineering and management experience. He ran teams at Adobe, most recently those that built Lite, Mobile Authoring, and Cast. CTO Walter Luh led the Lite team before jumping off to start Ansca.

“The Program is available to anyone who wants to create native iPhone applications and there are no restrictions of who can and cannot download the Corona SDK”
“Please note that the Corona SDK requires Mac OS 10.5.6+”
Bah to those who get my hopes up!

I didn’t see any mention of Flash (Lite) being leveraged in the actual product.
I believe what was said is that Ex-Adobe employees created the Corona product. Seems to use Lua as the core language, not ActionScript. I see no mention of Flash (Lite) player, and no indication of Flash.
Here is the FAQ (there is a better one, once registered):

P.S. For those interested in working with iPhone (using 3rd Party tools to PORT apps from Flash into native iPhone), might want to check out our upcoming book:
