I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to access a Midi device (like a piano/keyboard or electronic drum set) that is plugged into to a clients USB port over the web.
Obviously the browser security model makes this impossible using just javascript and while it looks like the emerging html5 device standard might help in the future it's apparently not there yet.
Does anyone know how to (or know that there is no way to) access an iOS device's UDID from a flash program, packaged up with the iPhone Packager
View 1 RepliesI'm building a mobile game and wanted to make it free with a banner ad on the start screen. I was going to use Smaato but it seems according to their api that they require that I pass them the UDID and the device ip in the query string. Is there anyway to do that with Actionscript 3? The code I'm using is below but it only pulls in an ad and when that ad is clicked on it points to a 2x2 gif on Smaato's servers. I got this code out of a book titled "iOS Development with Flash" and it's only a few months old. Am I trying to accomplish the impossible? Has anyone accomplished Smaato ingratiation with AS3?

I am creating a sqlite database for my mobile app. once the user has supplied the correct password the database is opened. Various screens of the application will need to read and write data from the db. is there a way I can make the connection global when I open it, so it can be accessed from any view?
the code I am useing to open the DB is
var sqlConnection:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();
sqlConnection.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN,sqlOpenSuccess);
sqlConnection.open(DBFile, SQLMode.CREATE, false, 1024,null);
I have imported my wav files to my library added them to the down state of my buttons and when I test the file I get (Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.) I have been surching for an answer but as of yet have found none.
View 3 RepliesI have a grails application using jquery mobile. I am hoping to find some way to access the camera on the devices. I thought about using flash to grab the webcam but that obviously wont work on Apple devices. Does anyone know of a way to do it and keep it all browser based? I am hoping that there is a plugin somewhere or maybe html5 has some magic in there that supports it.

Firstly, I will let you recover from laughing. Now, basically, I have a bunch of Midi files I want to be viewed on my site for downloading.
No, not for website sounds, for mobile ringtones... I have a few jukeboxes, but nothing that loads in titles and song list via xml.
I want to load a midi file into Flash and have it read the sequence so I can get each musical note from the file.
But I'm not sure where to start on this. how I would go about accomplishing this?
Here is a site that has a pretty neat little flash object , [URL]
They let you upload a midi file and the recorder animation shows which positions on the flute/recorder you need to place your fingers at.
I'm just interested in how they used Flash to read the individual notes from the midi file.

Im a DJ and trying to put together a live visual show. To cut things down ill keep things as simple as possible.I use ableton live and i do a mashup show. I want to animate my monkey logo but in sync with the music.If i trigger michael jackson thriller i want my monkey to do the moonwalk, if i trigger star wars i want the monkey to put on a darth vader hat.I change so spontaneously each time i DJ so i need the monkey to stay dancing to the music, no matter what the tempo, with a series of animations ready in the background to respond to whatever i do with the music.
View 1 RepliesI need to append MIDI files: leave header (same for all files) and other meta information, just copy music/score part. I already have MIDI files in appropriate bytearrays, as I guessed I need to use writeBytes, but unfortunately couldn't find which bytes I need to take and copy. Something like this:
var newFileBytes:ByteArray=new ByteArray();
newFileBytes.writeBytes(firstMIDIBytes);
newFileBytes.writeBytes(secondMIDIBytes,8);
Works only partially, file is playable; first part fully and second - only some notes (then player hangs out)
To say truth byteArrays aren't my strong side, as the MIDI file structure.
I am reading midi files in as3 (flash cs5) with the help of the helpful library that is called midas [URL]- the midi-as3 library. I am trying to figure out a simple way to calculate the whole duration of the midi file (for example - total time of 4 minutes or 6 minutes...). I assume I could calculate the last note of each track + check the tempo and figure it out, but I was wondering if: Is the duration of the midi file is written somewhere in the data that I could just pull out and use?

View 4 RepliesI am designing a game where it is very important that you hit notes to the beat. You could say it's a bit like Guitar Hero. The soundtrack and sound effects should match the beat of the game. This is the biggest problem I can think of: If for some reason the game lags (like if the player is on an old computer or they decide to schedule their annual DVD backup and reencryption on that day) even if it is just for a few seconds, when the computer restores to normal, the soundrack might be off. Even by being off by 1/10th of a second, it will throw the user off and basically kill the game. I have no problem using MIDI files for the game soundtrack and most sound effects, so would there be any way to time the MIDI to play correctly, avoiding lag?
View 2 RepliesI'm starting work on a midi piano game in flash. I have my midi keyboard hooked in through the USB. Now I've been told that there is some way to get flash to read any kind of input but I am not sure on how. Basically all that will happen is that u hit a key on the piano and a box shows up of random color. Longer u hold a key bigger it gets. Each key will have different box assigned to it. I think I could handle everything but I'm stuck on the first step and that is getting flash to read the Piano key presses.

I have researched the subject for some time now and still haven't figure it out.I use midas3 library (Midi-actionscript3) to import midi to flash. I get each note-item on a timeline. I get the divisions value (192) and all of the "GET-TEMPO" elements are equal to 81.I tried a lot of combinations to get the actual time of the midi but still no good (timeline*192/60 for example).The reason I know it is not synchronized to the actual time is that when I visualize the notes as simple rectangles in flash - I check if they appear exactly to what the mp3 file plays (I have converted the midi file to this mp3 using simple conversion program)I have read a lot about how all is calculated but still haven't figure out the number I need to use to get it right (timeline * MysteriusConstant = ReaTIME, what is the value of MysteriusConstant? is it really constant? and if not how do I calculate how it is changed?)
View 1 RepliesI'm using flash CS5.5 (trail version) and want to export a movei file out to device central to test acceleromoter settings.
When creating the file I : selected air fro andiod, made these changes to the publish settings : set upa certificate, tick all permission (as it kept telling me they hadn't been set) and then click ok.
For some reason under control > test movie > device central is greyed out. If i try to open the .swf file directly in device central it just tells me the device has the wrong version of flash.
Any ideas? I selected the file type as andriod?, preferably would like just to be able to click on test moving in device central.

I had a quick and dirty little IOS application that I thought I'd knock out in Flash CS5.5 and deliver to the AppStore.I must have missed something really important in the past 11 months.I built a small, simple app to test on my iPad.I set it up to run on GPU, set up the p12 and a new Provisioning Certificate. Deployment is set to "quick publishing for device testing". In 2 minutes or less it published to an IPA file.The problem is when I mount the IPA to iTunes Library then to my device, it is literally stuck in Loading mode.... Just to test how slow it is, I left it to run over night.Well it's still loading almost 16 hours later. Is it just me?I can't seem to find any other discussions or articles on IPA loading problems. Do I need to load some other version of something else to make this new version of Flash publish efficiently?Is this not the correct workflow from Flash to an IOS device?

View 3 RepliesCan a Flex application that was designed for use on a PC be run on an iPad, iPhone, or Android-based mobile device? Seems like a simple enough question.[URL]..yields a picture of a dude running a (presumably) Flex application on an Android. So at first glance, the answer would appear to be "yes." End of story.
There is so much (mis)information out there on various tech sites that suggest Flash-based technologies simply won't run on iOS or other mobile platforms. Why is this? Perhaps they mean to say that Flex won't run "out of the box" and requires a plugin? Or do they mean it won't run at all?
Every time I think I've reached a definitive conclusion, some post on SlashDot or CNET directly contradicts it. So what's the scoop? Can one take an existing Flex application and run it on iOS/Android? (I realize there are screen size issues to consider so the app might not run effectively. I just want to know if the runtimes are available on the mobile devices to allow the Flex app to launch at all.)
We are using CS3 and using actionscript 2.1. We are creating an application for a touch screen device and we must provide a draggable map.
