ActionScript 3.0 :: AIR For Android - Orientation On Phone Is Off?
Sep 25, 2011
Well I started playing around with some coding for Android (because I want to make an App for my YouTube community [URL] and I got some pretty cool stuff working already but just now I bumped into this weird problem.I was trying out Auto Orientation (rotating the phone for portrait or landscape view). And in Flash the BG Movieclip is at 0,0 but on the phone its more like -20,-40...I also had a "similar" problem with a swipe tryout where in Flash the swipeable pages where completely filling the screen but on my phone I had a top and bottom white bar (flash's bg, so if i made this black it would be black on the phone also) of about 10-15 px...
A considerable amount of space is used up by .apk files on my phone with apps which cannot be moved to the sdcard (Adobe Flash and Google Maps). In those directories, there are .apk files. Can I delete these to save space and have the application work as it did before?
Error occurred while installing the application: 864 KB/s (33668 bytes in 0.038s) pkg: /data/local/tmp/Main.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MEDIA_UNAVAILABLE]
I have a very simple "HelloWorld" action script mobile app which simply adds a text field to the display list. Running the app on the desktop using the HTC Desire simulator works just fine, however testing on the device is throwing that error.
On the phone I have installed the Adobe Air available on the Market, the device is connected and the version of android running is 2.3.3.
I can't seem to get away from this error. I've tried creating flex mobile projects and imported one of iBrent's tutorial projects [URL].. to see if they work but alas I get the equivalent fail error.
I have a service that uses computer webcam via Flash. Now I'd like to develop an Android optimized version of the service using HTML5 + Flash and then use some HTML5 wrapper to get an app.
I wonder if it's possible to use the same ability of Flash that provides an access to user's phone camera (frontal) on the Android (tablet pcs, smart phones). I know Android supports Flash since 2.2, but I failed to find any information on hardware access.
I am building an Android application using Flex Hero. When I run the application I can package it fine on my mobile and run it on the device, however, as soon as I want to run in debug mode on the device, the device gives me a message like: "Can't connect to debugger (192.168.1.12). Enter IP-address or hostname". The device is connected with a USB to the PC and USB debugging is enabled on the device. I have tried to shut down the computer's firewall, but no result.
For buttons like the MENU or BACK button you can just add a listener for KeyboardEvent and check if the event keyCode is Keyboard.BACK or Keyboard.MENU.However I don't see anything for knowing if the phone's volume buttons were pressed.Is there a way to listen for volume up and volume down keyUp/keyDown events in AIR (ActionScript 3)?
From Adobe docs: [URL] it looks like with present SDK (4.5 "Hero" ) only standalone flex app for AIR are supported on mobile devices. So can someone explain how i can run "YouTube" clips on my Nexus One phone with Android 2.2?
I am creating a emptyMC that my splash page will open up on. So when I create a new symbol (my empty movie clip) how do I set the center point/orientation of it to the top left hand corner???
I've managed to find the tutorial for custom mouse pointers but I haven't managed to find quite what I need.What I want is a mouse pointer thats actually a car (an overhead view) that rotates as tho it was driving. So its orientation is dependent on the direction the mouse pointer is moving. Basically I want the car to face the direction its driving in.
I have 2 simple objects on stage: 1 is a static circle with a sharp tip (to show direction of the object) and 1 moving circle (moves according to users mouse or just a constant random move).
I want the static circle orientation to change according to moving circle position (so the sharp tip will always point at the moving circle).
What I did is divide the stage to 8 sections, each is linked to a specific orientation of the static circle.
I have a question about Papervision3D, or perhaps bitmapData, I am unsure where the problem is. I have constructed a program that takes 4 banners and splits them into pieces and then applies those pieces to cubes so that I can make a banner rotator. So after I run my program I have 10 cubes with a piece of a banner on 4 faces(front, top, back, bottom) of each cube. The problem is that some of the faces are oriented incorrectly(spun 180 degrees).
Is there a way in Papervision3D to spin a cube face? The other place I think the problem may be is when I create the bitmapData that will be applied to the cube faces. Is there some way to explicitly define orientation during bitmapData creation?
I want to call the Flex printing API to set the print arguments before sending printing command.But there is no method in Flex(FlexPrintJob or PrintJob) to set the printing orientation.Are there some methods to solve this problem?My project is running in B/S structure and the view layer is in Flex.
I'm trying to design a tablet flash applet. Does anyone know how to lock the orientation of the html embedded player player in landscape mode when it has been full screened? So far this is what I have in the html file: HTML Code: <embed src="fullScreenTest.swf" allowFullScreen="true" fullScreenOnSelection = "true" />
That did wonders for maximing the flash window, but the moment I change orientation on the tablet the flash player also changed orientation. I know there is a way of locking the orientation to landscape mode in ActionScript 3, but is there an ActionScript 2 equivalent for it?
And then the frame that's to be printed has "#p" for a frame label. It works, but I would like to be able to change the orientation from the default portrait, to landscape.
I have around 20 buttons that together make a map of USA. I am using AS3 tool tip, which display name of region on mouse-over. I want to create a movieclip which will house all these 20 buttons and their actions(basically put everything under one movieclip).
But when I do that everything works fine but the tool tip gets dispalced. It appears almost at the edge of the stageAny way to make it appear near the mouse cursor?
Code I am using for tool tip is:
Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler1); function mouseOverHandler1(e:MouseEvent):void { //creating a new tooltip instance
What I'm trying to achieve is to support Landscape mode in both orientations, so if user turns the device 180 degress, the screen should also rotate. But there should be no action at all, when user rotates the device to one of portrait orientations. Instead, I'm seeing width changes to navigator action bar and sometimes content in portrait orientations, so apparently preventing the event is not enough. I'm using the "official" way Adobe suggests, but the problem is that it's not working very well. Granted, the stage does not change, but it seems that there's something firing in navigator anyway, since you can see the action bar width changing.
I had some success with explicitly setting layoutbounds to fixed width in handler method - this prevents changing the actionbar width, but it's only a temporary solution - if the view is a subject to a transition, or some other redraw - it will again render with bad sizes. As if there was something below that was telling it that it's in portrait mode, even though I'm trying to prevent it.
Before you detonate with some silly ideas like "autoOrient = false", don't. It's clearly not a solution for this problem. Obviously it's a bug with Flex SDK - did anyone find a way to fix it or a stable workaround?
We are developing a RIA for restaurant industry. Our screens have buttons, movie clips, Grids, containers etc etc.
If the user logging in has preference set for being 'left handed', we need to tweak the already designed screens to alter the layout. I.e. swap screen left and right.
I am guessing that as of now, all the containers which have horizontal layouts will need to swap the order of their children.

my app is landscape and I want it full screen only; and I don't know how to make it auto-rotate...in iOS Export option I can just check the "auto orientation", but when I hold my iPhone upright it will rotate and shrink the app so it's still landscape but fit in the (upright) portrait screen... I don't want that...
i have an AIR android app which i am running on an android device ( samsung TAB ). i want the app to get laid out in landscape mode when the user starts the app holding the device in landscape ( same goes with portrait ).
but the AIR app always gets started in portrait mode irrespective of the way the device is held.
i tried the following ways use stage.deviceorientation (but when the app starts (after the applicationComplete notification ) the value is UNKNOWN) use stage resize event. (this gets triggered at start itself, a manual resize is not required - the values are based on portrait mode though - the width is 600 and height is 1024 (should have been otherway) )
i get correct values when i try changing the orientation of device, only at the startup i see problem with the required values.
I have an as3 built osmf video player swf that we embed on a standard HTML page. When you touch the image the video automatically goes fullscreen and begins playing. Droid and Flash often break after changing back and forth between landscape and portrait while in fullscreen.(by break I mean freeze, where you can hear the video and use the controls, but everything is just a still frozen image, the redrawing fails).Can you lock the fullscreen orientation in html, javascript, or do you have to try to handle it inside the swf?
I working on a project where the client side need to capture video and audio from the camera, use some library (proberly ffmpeg) to convert from mp4 to flv and send it to flash server on realtime,in the other side the client need to get flv and convert it to video type of android on real time. Is it possible to do?
I am porting my flash games on android. I have ported 3 successfully. But the problem with all of them is they are giving very low frame rate near about 7-8. And I have observed 1 thing that frame rate always varies. Sometimes it goes upto 45 and again in next frame it comes to 3-4 and again goes to 15-16.
I am quite confused. Please let me know if anyone is having any idea about this.
I am loading flash SWFs into an android WebView.I want the SWF to be instantly fullscreen and focused.The class name that handles flash is com.adobe.flashplayer.FlashPaintSurface .
Watching the log, when I fullscreen the flash manually, it calls com.adobe.flashplayer.FlashPaintSurface.toggleFullScreen()The first part of my question is, How can i call that method manually for my flash swf? Note that with a webview with a flash embedded, the only way i seem to be able to fullscreen it properly (to have flash's surfaceview fullscreen instead of the flash being displayed over top of the webview view) is by touching the screen with two fingers until an interface pops up at the top of the screen, and doesnt happen reliably.For focus, inside my webview class I call
@Override protected boolean drawChild (Canvas canvas, View child, long drawingTime) { if (child.getClass().getName().equals("com.adobe.flashplayer.FlashPaintSurface")) {
[code]...
This doesnt set the focus as I thought it would. Although i assume, if fullscreened properly, the flashpaintsurface should give itself focus. But if if the first part is not doable, i would wonder at least to not have to give focus to the SWF by clicking on it on startup.
