Let's say I have two flash apps, each being run by a separate user. Is it possible for user A to click a button and have a message pop up on user B's screen? Assume I know the IP address of user B and can route the traffic to them.
I'm guessing, if this can be done, it would be accomplished using some type of EventListener, but I'm not sure where to start.
I am looking to develop basic client server data application to add value to a website.
The website is .net based and opening an api such as asmx web service, json or xml would be simple.
Can anyone tell me what are the limitations - technically, what is possible with flash and also what Apple consider to be good practice.
Does anyone have any Actionscript code examples?
I'm interested in building a thick client application for my existing web services that will run on the IPhone. Flash finally seems to be an option, so I thought about using Flex for client side development.
However, since flash apps are not natively supported by the IPhone, but only through a wrapper, I was wondering if these apps can persist any data. Data entered by the user should eventually be transmitted to the web service, but until then I want it to persist even if the Iphone should run out of power.
Is this possible? Or does the Iphone flash wrapper make it impossible to access the hard disk?
I am using a local connection to share data between 2 apps. The receiver has a function that runs every time new data is sent. I need to run another function every time that function runs, how can i do this?
View 2 RepliesImagine I want a user to be able to copy-paste a selection of pixels from MSPaint into a browser-based app. Is this possible using JavaScript in any current browsers? Will it become possible in HTML5?If not, is it feasible using something like Flex/Silverlight, or is it simply not possible at this time, and you'd have to save a file and manually upload it?
update: sounds like HTML5 should allow it, but that's a way in the future to be genuinely useful. Some suggestions of Java applets and Flash are mentioned, probably Flash would be preferable since parts of the web-client would probably use Flex anyway... I'd rather not have requirement for Java and Flash in my site.
Creating some flash desktop apps to be run fullscreen in a condo lobby. I'd like the ability for an administrator to login to the interface and then click a button to 'close' the flash app from within itself, thus closing the flash player and returning to the desktop.

View 1 RepliesI have been looking for a beta/demo of Adobe CS5, because I saw the tutorial how to make iPhone apps.
View 2 RepliesI've noticed that some Flash apps exhibit tearing, and others don't. I'm trying to eliminate tearing in the code I write.I'm on newer hardware,in Windows Vista with Aero turned off, so vsync isn't an option.I've tried using a timer, and hooking the enter frame event. I've tried simulating double buffering using BitmapData objects.I've tried adjusting the frame rate around. So far, nothing's helped at all.
Many Flash apps exist which don't tear at all, even on my setup.
I have apps in flash8 AS2 and flash10 AS3. When I open the AS2 apps in flash CS4 they don't work. This is a massive problem as I put them in a visual basic app with the flash 10 ocx. So the damn thing doesn't open them properly. I thought these things were backward compatible.
View 6 RepliesI have a doubt, can we make iPhone apps with flash CS5?
View 1 RepliesA sore point but can we simply export our apps to the iPhone with CS5 or would we need to "tidy up" some bits first. By the way, would I use vector graphics or bitmaps preferibly not to over use the iPhone processing power.
View 5 RepliesCan Facebook apps be written in Flash CS3 or do I have to use Flex? I'm more comfortable with Flash, but it seems geared toward Flex.One of the Facebook SDK examples (FriendsList_flash) contains an FLA file but it won't load in Flash CS3. Does it require a new version or am I doing something wrong?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if its possible to automate games and apps that have been written in flash.
For example.
Suppose a simple card game was written in flash. To automate it I would need to
-read all of the values of all labels on the screen. -figure out the location and identity of active objects like buttons and text boxes.
I suppose these values could be passed to some kind of executable flile running outside the browser which would then move the mouse and click the buttons as desired.
Mabey there is a better way of doing this ?
I tried running flash apps in Firefox with firebug and fireflash installed to see if I could see what was going on inside the flash files. It didn't work. Mabey debugging has to be enable inside the files themselves which is no use if they are owned by somebody else.
Is it possible to automate a gmae somebody else has written in flash ?
I'm considering using Flash as the UI of a native Windows app, for several reasons, but before I dive in and start building, I figured I'd poll the community to find out whether anyone's got any good examples of this particular approach out there today, just to prove the concept satisfactorily. So I guess that's pretty much the question: Anyone built one specifically? Or better, anyone know of an app in relatively wide distribution that demonstrates the viability of this approach?
View 4 RepliesWhat's the best way to communicate between 2 Flex/Flash apps on the same webpage? I need a 3rd party Flash app to call a function on my Flex 4 app (they are ready to customize their 3rd party app how I specify). I use ExternalInterface.call("javascript_function", arguments) extensively. I know there's a bridge to go from Javascript to Actionscript as well. So I guess I could go from their flash app -> javascript function -> flex bridge -> my flex app. Do I have to go through javascript? Is there a better way?
View 1 RepliesI've looked at a few demos from adobe that show apps built with Flex 4.5 running on iOS from simple list views to video capture. This has made me wonder if its an effective solution to build cross platform mobile apps.
For those of you who have taken Flex 4.5 mobile for a spin, what is your impression on the capability and performance on iOS. Is there anything you can't do with Flex 4.5 mobile that you couldn't with a native app? Are there any limitations?
I'm developing an interactive system where two client flash apps will talk to a third server app. The clients will be sending some status information to the server. I think I need two way communication...haven't decided whether the server needs to send back any acknowledgements yet.
These will be applications and not .swfs that run in a browser.So far the only method that I see are to make the server an AIR app (b/c AIR has a Server Socket class) and make the clients Flash projectors (b/c Flash has a Sockets class).
Are there other methods that I can use connect my apps together? These 3 machines will basically be living a few feet from each other and they will be on their own dedicated network.The machines will live within their own little private network. They won't be accessing the outside world.
I remember that I've heard about a flash cs5 feature which lets the developers export their project to iphone (.ipa file) and pretty much make games for the iphone using actionscript 3, Is that really possible to do? I've also heard that now in order to develop games for the iphone I could use the adobe AIR I have no idea what or where to go to start, if it's really possible to do so with Flash CS5 then I'd get it
View 1 RepliesWhat are the ways of doing this? The search function is down right now, for whatever reason.
The only way I can think of off the top of my head is using an html enabled text box in flash to iframe a separate page with the shockwave app inside it. I've seen it only once before on a site that was given a new shockwave game and we had to have it work with the existing flash website.

I read somewhere that there is a free compiler to do that. What about Flex? Is free? I can use my actionscript code with Flex
