I am pretty fresh into working with mobile at all here but i am having no luck finding solid info on the basic principles of file saving/loading locally on a mobile device (specifically android).
View 1 Replieshow to save score/level/etc. information for a game on a mobile device?I'm still unsure how to read/write files in the apk (Android).Basically, I want to allow the player to save his progress at some point so that they can restore it later.
View 1 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.

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.)
Just wondering if anyone knew ofhand the AS3 code to detect whether a user is using a mobile device, so they can be redirected to the HTML version of my flash website.
View 4 RepliesI 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 just want an Event to happen, if the Mobile Phone is rotatated and i am searching for a solution for days now.
View 1 RepliesTried stage.stageWidth and stageHeight on applicationComplete, but for some reason the actual numbers returned do not seem to be accurate - the image always appears off-centered (stageWidth/2 - imageWidth/2). How do you determine the mobile device's actual screen size, to center an object?

View 2 RepliesI 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 1 Repliesthe short version of what i need to do - via AS3 and PHP - is a user can come to this project and draw something. drawing's no problem, that's done. my issue is figuring out how to take that drawing data, converting it into something i can save to my database ... then reload said data and recreate it on the stage when the user "loads" it.
i guess i'm just searching for a way to take drawn data (just using typical as3 drawing methods) and breaking it down to a string, then bringing that string back in and recreating it. i'm not super versed in ByteArrays - which i suspect is where my answer lies.
user doesn't need to adjust any of this after it's loaded, fwiw. i'd just like to send this drawing data out - then bring it back in and place it back on the stage.
I know this can be done, but not sure how. I have seen a program that basically has its own fscommands and must compile them itself. Does anyone know how you would do this. The program i refer to is [URL] flash studio pro. There are other programs out there like this but these all cost money for commercial use.

View 2 RepliesI 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 created a simple flash animation for my employer. I basically have a square that changes color depending on which of three buttons are clicked. This is replicated about 30 times on the page. There is also about 15 circles that have a toggle button created so that when you click on the circle, they change between two colors. As I said, a very simple application.
Now, I need to save the data so that whenever someone new opens the swf, the current color combination is displayed. My way of thinking, with my limited AS3 experience, is that each button click, in addition to changing the color of a movie clip, should also send the data to a server. Then when someone opens the application fresh, I can use the URLLoader to load the most current data.
Am I on the right track, or am I missing it completely? I think I can figure out the URLLoader, but what code would I use to create the text file or xml file?Here is a snippet of my code:
var rtmColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var okColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var usColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
[code].....
By clicking on either the rtm_13335, ok_13335, or us_13335 buttons, they will change the f13335 movie clip to the appropriate color (blue, green, or red). The default color is green.
What I would like to do is make the movie clip red, for example, then another person opens the swf, and the movie clip is red as opposed to the default green because I saved the current state to a text or xml file.
I want to have a xml file for my configuration and so i have to load it from the same directory the swf file lies in and save it afterwards. I saw articles about filestreams in flex but my compiler didn't allow me to use the filestream. I use the open source flex sdk

View 1 Replieshey people wondering if there is a way to use AS3 to save and load to a database.
Specifically I have created a flash program for a teacher that runs tests for her students. When a student loads up the .swf they are prompted for their name. Ideally we would like to be able to save the progress of a student after he/she has completed a test and then use that data later. Is there a way to save data like this and call upon it at a later time?
I've made a small application in Flash CS4 that I use when I'm teaching. Part of the application allows me to 'write' on draggable 'post-it' notes (using a draw function) and another part allows me to type text onto similar 'post-it' notes. how I could save the data that is written or typed in and then re-load it on another occasion? Am I out of my depth?My AS3 is probably intermediate level, I have some experience with SWF Studio and I'm beginner level with php/mySQL.
View 3 RepliesI've searched load of threads for info on this because for what I'm doing I need to save data to the local disk and then load it back up again as required.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to save a change to a text document (In this case a variable "Title" just to test) and then view the changes from another swf movie... In the end I'm hoping to build a client updatable flash site. In particular menu items... feature items & prices.
A Recap: a client types in the items, php/flash saves the changes to the text document, and site visitors can views those changes.
Something in my code isn't clicking:
My PHP is:
Code:
<?php
$Title = $_POST['Title'];
$toSave = "Title=".$Title;
[code]....
Is it possible that, when I publish my flash program to the internet that the user can save and load text to a text file somewhere on his computer?
View 2 RepliesOk I wrote an application where I have panels that the user can draw on, kind of like paint, but they can create panels. Now I want them to be able to save and load their work. Using Quasimondo's bitmap exporter, I was able to save a bitmap (200x200), and the application prompts the user where they were to save the image file. However, my problem is that the user will probably have 6-12 panels to save, and so I want the program to save all those panels so they can be loaded later.
Now in order to load, I don't want the user to manually select each panel to load. I want the user to select one file and it will load all the images into the panels. I was thinking about maybe loading a zip file and flash would extract the images and load them, but I don't know if that's possible. I think the user would need to select an XML file,which would direct Flash to what files to load and in what order. For this, and I'm assuming when it saves the flash application/php, it would need to write a new xml file.So I guess what I need to know how to do is:- How do I get flash to save several images to the server or the users hard drive- flash to generate an xml file- is there any way to make flash combine all the files into one file so that the user doesn't have to deal with several files?
