IDE :: Generate Exe Files From Stand Alone Application?
Oct 7, 2009
Is it possible to generate an executable file from a flash executable file? A client has requested a quote from that will allow them to do the following: This whole thing needs to reside on a CD/DVD.
There is a bank of 10 images. The user selects any 5 images they want. The user saves those 5 images as a slideshow / powerpoint / executable file?
Are there other utilities that can do this kind of thing? Is flash the wrong development tool? Are there other tools out there that perform this type of function?
Google has provided no results for me. I've often lurked through the forums here and I thought that maybe the community here may have some answers as I can't seem to find them anywhere.
How can i publish this so it becomes a stand alone file,and give it a custom icon?Actually, it doesn't have to be completely stand alone. As long as they have flash player installed.
I've created a very large scale Flash game and have apparently had a massive oversight - the flash portal websites wishing to host my game need it in one stand alone .swf. However, the problem is I load everything externally. I load the level data from .plist files, the images from .png and the sound from .wav, all located in folders in the .swf directory. They're loaded through Loader's and URLRequest.
Is there any way I can embed these so it will run as a stand alone? Preferably an easier way than individually writing embed lines, as there are 1000s of files.
I'm trying to generate a report on what classes are being used in our application... bonus points if i can tell which methods and properties are actually being used as well.
I know I can read the catalog.xml for RSL Libraries which is a great start, but I'm not sure if such a thing exists for applications and modules(compiled or uncompiled).
I think I'm looking for some kind of recursive describeType() method, or (gag) maybe I just need to write my own? I don't care how it works, my app dioesnt even tneed to be running... we just need an inventory of what's really being used and what might be garbage, essentialy.
I have an AIR app that gets bundled with XML files that the app needs. These get put into the APP Storage Directory, of course. Works great. But when I install a new version ( which includes new XML files) , the new files don't get added or overwrite the ones from the previous version. It seems that if that directory is there from a previous install, the installer will ignore the part where it moves included files.
I'm looking for a way to generate license keys by a PHP script and then transfer its to my application (Air, AS3), and in this application to read the data correctly. For example, here is the code:
[Code]...
The generates key about like this: 1AS7-09BD-96A1-CC8D-F106. I want to add some information into key - e-mail user, then pass it to the client (Air app), decrypt the data and dysplay in app.
I am looking for an automated/command line means ofgenerating .swf files for the media files I have in my application.At any given time there could be hundreds of videos in thedirectory and the application lets users upload media to theserver. I know how to create .fla, .as files etc for one file usingCS3, but I am hope there is an easier way to generate these swffiles. I am looking at Flex SDK (specifically mxmlc) to write a cronjob, but I wanted to see if people use other methods.
I need to generate SWF or FLA files programmatically using php. Because I want to create a movie(either swf or fla) using sequences of images at my sever.
How to generate .FLA or .SWF files programmatically using php?Are theres any libraries for that?Or at least any APIs for generating those files?
I'm trying to understand if it is possible to generate complex PDF files with Flex. By complex I mean add images, styled text (font-family, weight, columns) layout elements with large degree of control and so on. I was looking at AlivePDF library but cannot understand if it can handle more complicated PDF generation than plain text.
I've been giving a application to work on that uses a Java EE application for the backend, Flash for the front end, and BlazeDS to connect the two. I have never used Flash or BlazeDS, and am trying to get my head around how BlazeDS works.
So far, I understand that when you connect to BlazeDS in FlashBuilder, the remoting-config.xml file is scanned to determine what services exist on the Java end. FlashBuilder asks which of these services you want to import, and what "service package" and "data type package" you want to use.
When you select your Java ExampleService, BlazeDS will create _Super_ExampleService.as and ExampleService.as and put them in your "service package" location. ExampleService.as is empty but extends _Super_ExampleService.as (which basically is a Flash service that you can use to call the methods in your Java service). If you need to add extra methods, you would add them to ExampleService.as. (Hopefully this is all correct, please correct me if I'm wrong)
My problem is I cannot figure out what BlazeDS does for value objects. When you select ExampleService in FlashBuilder (let's assume it's a service for the Example entity), what value objects does BlazeDS create? I would expect Example.as and _SuperExample.as. However, _ExampleEntityMetadata.as also appears.
I know Shared Objects are the standard way to store data from flash, but these seem to have a number of limitations.I'm wondering if it's possible for the flashplayer to manipulate regular files.It's my understanding that through FileReference you can load a file of the user's choice into memory. My question is, would it be possible to manipulate this file then present it back to the user for download? Possibly using javascript to assist?
I understand that it might be possible using server-side technology, but I'm wondering if it can be done without taking hard drive space and bandwidth from the server.
I was wondering if there is any Python library out there which would allow me to generate Flash files (a simple slide show of a bunch of images). I tried installing Ming but was running into some problems, so was wondering if there is any other library out there with better documentation.
I am trying to generate XML of a user selected folder and inner folders along with the files recursively. Structure of the XML generated should be as the user selected folder.
I am able to list all the folders and files in the selected folder. I am unable to find a way to generate the same structure, I am unable to think of a way to replicate the depth of folder in XML. Any ideas to find solutions??
I've got a Java/Flex project that I'm building using Maven. After doing some research I'm using the Flexmojos project [URL] for the Flex part, and almost everything seems to work fine so far (after a bit of struggling). I'm using version 4.0-alpha-5 (4.0-SNAPSHOT didn't seem to work for me).The Flex projects isn't recognized by Eclipse as Flex projects though. If I manually change the .project file and add .actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties files, Eclipse seems to recognize the projects as Flex projects.
I want to build an air app that takes input (for example a list of filenames to be generated) from the user and generates sound files with desired naming. The sound files should be an "empty/silence" sound (wav, aif or mp3). Is it possible the generate such a file? If not, can I use an existing sound and embed it into the app and have that as a source when generating the files? The purpose of this is to get a structure of files ready in the project that will be replaced by our Sound Director. This way, we can trigger all sounds before they are created.
I would like to do some iPhone development from my Windows box using the Adobe iPhone packager. I get how to do pretty much everything except creating / obtaining the certificates and provisioning files needed to complete the packaging process. What is the easiest and quickest way to get up and running?
is there any way to include files in air application by as3 like #include in as2 ?
My problem is when i add files in included files its take the full path and when i change the application directory to another partition for example its still keep the old one, i need it to be relative like ( appName-app.xml and appName.swf )
I have an installer.air that is created by Adobe Flash. I have another file called settings.cfg which is needed for my application to run. How do let the computer auto install settings.cfg into the installation directory together with the application when i run installer.air? Currently, I need to manually place the settings.cfg into the application installed directory.
I've created a Flex application and the size of the swf file is ~900KB. My trouble is that the files are not getting cached. When I launch the application for the second time, the swf file is fetched again from the server. I'm including the swf file in a jsp, and I'm not modifying any HTTP Caching Headers. I assumed that the swf files will be cached automatically. Isn't it so? How do I forcefully cache the file? Do I need to provide anything in the MXML code or just a response.setHeader("Cache-Control","max-age=100"); is enough? Can anything be done from the flex side itself?
I want to develop an AIR desktop application using CS4 and want to play flash games (SWF files) in it which have to be packaged along with the application...
I have a small doubt. (it might not even be a good idea to paste it here, but�) I noticed that I can publish .exe files of my flash application. Can I run them on a linux environment (ubuntu) or even like just swfs?
I've run into some problems trying to handle large text files in AIR (300+ MB in size). I can open a filestream and read the file just fine and even store it into a string variable. the problem occurs when i try to manipulate this data. Im trying to get each line as an element in an array so i can manipulate this data.Here's what i've tried:1. read the file into a string variable and perform a split looking for the newline character ). this freezes the program2. i've tried reading the file in one byte at a time and putting each line into an array AS it is being read from the filestream. This not only takes long but eventually freezes.
3. i've tried splitting the final string variable which contains the entire text file into chunks to process it separately.4. i've even tried putting the file contents into a sqlite database, but this also freezes.At this point, im not sure what my options are. Is AIR even equipped to manipulate data at this level? I could use a point in the right direction
I'll ONLY recieve an "Error #3000: Illegal path name" if I try to open a file which is placed inside the app-folder of the air. If the file is somewhere else outside of the app-folder it works.
private var file:File = File.documentsDirectory; public function download():void{ var pdfFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("PDF Files", "*.pdf");
[Code]....
When i try to get the same file and copy it to another place it's doing fine.
Why that? Something special to do if i wanna open files which are inside the appfolder? It also don't work in debug mode - bin-debug.
