ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Player Within Desktop Application
Feb 10, 2012
I am trying to work out an approach to developing a desktop application that would play movies, games and various flash material such as flash games and flash flip books. The movies will be in both video format and swf format, and will need to be compressed and encrypted for transmission to users and decompressed/decrypted by our player so as not be viewable by other players. The installer would be platform / OS dependant.
The player / user interface would need to be written in a 'portable' language so it can be cross-complied to different platforms ( Windows, Linux/Android, Mac, Iphone/Ipad, ... ) If this is not possible than atleast it should work on the PC and MAC. The idea here is to ideally maintain one code base so the client will experience the same interface on each platform we support.
My questions are-
What would be the best approach to develop these applications?
Is it possible to acquire public / open source code where much of the work has already been done and then add my code to it?
If open source code is available where could I get it from?

I'm building an AIR desktop app with facebook support using Adobe Flash builder. So far it's working alright, except for one detail, once a user logs in, that session stays open, even if the logout button is pressed. My logout code look like so:
protected function logout():void {
FacebookDesktop.logout(handleLogout, APP_ORIGIN);
}
I set APP_ORIGIN to "[URL]". I checked Adobe's documentation and they say: appOrigin:String (default = null) ” (Optional) The site url specified for your app. Required for clearing html window cookie. But I don't know what that means, what is the 'site url specified by my app'? Where do I get it? Sorry if this is a noob question.

I have a flash application. One of the options is to copy a pdf onto the users desktop, but I can not seem to get it to work. I am writing a flash application that sends "fscommands" out to batch files. This is what my batch file looks like:---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------@ echo off copy ../Application/pdf/Ebook.pdf %userprofile%Desktop exit---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------My intent is to copy the specified file to the user's desktop. So far it does not function.

I am using Flash CS5 and when I exprt my file to swf I notied that after exporting and playing it in Flash player (on my desktop) I can change the size of the window and the scene itself eventthough I have set the width and height dimension to e.g. 468x60.
So, the bad thing is that if I ahve some objects that are moving from this area and in banner I do not see them in flash player I can see all which is not good.
Is there a setting in export option to disable this behavior or some actionscript, so my client will not be able see the "mess-behind-the-scenes" :)?
I can probably remove some objects using actionscript, however if I have looping background image it is necessary to be bigger than 468px In my case 3x.

I am writing a desktop application and trying to decide between using AIR (FLex) or Java.Some of the requirements for the application are: needing to securely connect to webservices and JMShave a very interactive UI (lots oflittle and big features)displaying videoCommunicate with a C++ applicationTo implement the web services and JMS for Flex we were thinking of using Merapi to communicate with a Java application. Does this mean we should probably go with Java or does the better graphics capabilities of Flex still make it a better choice?

Can Flex be used for a desktop application whose business logic is written using Java? Everything I've read about flex uses a remoting or http protocol to communicate with the backend via a J2EE server, so I'm not sure how that would work for a desktop app (unless an embedded j2ee server was running in the app).

I have been looking all over the internet and I can't find any good (or recent) example from a air application where an image (for example) is dragged from the desktop in the application.
The problem is that flashbuilder gives errors on:
import flash.desktop.DragActions;
import flash.desktop.TransferableData;
import flash.desktop.TransferableFormats;
import flash.desktop.DragManager;
(and this are only the errors at the import section)I know this last one can be replaced by mx.managers.DragManager, but this is another class since than I get errors on "DragManager.acceptDragDrop" for example...

I'm trying to play two H.264 encoded videos (.mov) within an AS3 desktop application. I have tried publishing both Air and Projector but both are having (different) problems with playback. When testing the swfs within Flash they both work fine.I'm using a simple NetStream function to play the videos from a local directory. Like I said they both run fine within Flash, so I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but have found it difficult to find documentation on streaming locally.
The Air app works best, but can't seem to play the second video. (I also have been having awful trouble getting around security issues of Air as I'm using LocalConnection in another part of the app, so would prefer not to use it).The projector starts playing both videos but very quickly starts to stutter and choke, and eventually freezes the entire app.The Adobe documentation says that it is possible to use NetStream locally, but maybe this isn't the case?

Has anyone got any experience will loading SWC / SWZ's at runtime within a Flex 4 / Air 2 desktop application?The very rough idea would be to have a desktop Air app, which is able to "download" additional modules (eg, a SWZ/RSL representing a form) and load these at runtime?
Imagine the App is configured using an XML file obtained over the net. When this has instruction to get a new module (SWZ/RSL), the app will download the module to its App Storage folder, and instanciate it at runtime?The Flex Manual seems to indicate this is possible, but is talking web rather than desktop http:[url]....

I'm currently in the planning/early building phase of a desktop flex application that will be communicating to a Zend Application on a web server.The flex app will basically be like a layout/view in terms of the MVC pattern, it will make requests to various controller actions and display the data returned in a meaningful way, and post data that will update various data in the database on the server. Basically what I'm wondering is what the best way is to go about building a login system for the desktop application.I can't use the regular channels that you would if your users were accessing the application via a browser, so I was thinking I would do this:
Flex app posts login details (email, password) to a login action.The login action uses Zend Auth to check if the details are valid.The login action creates a unique hash (and stores it in the db somewhere along with the user's id) and returns a json object containing the hash along with the user's id to the flex app.Whenever the flex app makes requests to any action in the web app, it also sends along the user's id and the unique hash so the web app can verify the user.

How do I script to connect /send a signal to the COM port of the PC from a Desktop Flash application. The Signals can be variables such as "1/2/3/4" . The signals will be send on a corresponding click in the flash application. For eg: if I click button "A" in the Flash application, it sends a signal "1" to the COM Port. If I click the Button"B", it send the signal"2" to the COM Port.

I am going to be utilizing a flash/jquery powered gallery on a webpage that is maintained and updated with an xml document. The xml data is used to add and sort images into a grid of small thumbnail images. i will customize this component so that when the user rolls over a thumbnail it will trigger jquery to replace a div using hide/show. My employer would like to try to create an adobe air desktop widget that will mirror the content of this gallery so that as entries are added to the site users can access the content automatically via the desktop. I was thinking there may be a way to utilize the same xml document to maintain the app as well as the gallery. As there is a fairly tight turn around on this project, i was wondering if anyone could confirm that adobe air apps can be maintained in this way, or how to approach this particular client request.

....
<iframe src="http://host/framepage.html">content default</iframe>

[code]...
It's like as the second page is not loaded, but it's actually be loaded and rendered in the browser window (i tried also using a button so I can delay the search for the iframe content.

I have a question regarding full screen in flash. I have a movie playing in the middle of the screen and currently there are lots of colourful buttons surrounding it which hijack the viewers' focus. What I want to happen is for the screen to dim around the movie. DivX Web Player's Desktop Dimmer as see on joox.net is the exact example of what I want to happen. (where the whole screen darkens unless you move your mouse)
