Does anyone else experience publishing ad hoc builds for the iPhone (from flash cs5) taking a long time (10 minutes +) ? Whereas it would only take a couple for a (non ad hoc) test build. I suspect it might be stuck in a loop somewhere.Or is it simply a matter of waiting patiently whilst the provision is being approved (or whever it's waiting on)
View 1 RepliesI am having a issue with CS5 flash iphone app displaying slow laggy animations when I use a background image. I have pinpointed this issue by making a simple iphone application with only a vertically accelerating ball and one background image. If I use the background image the ball will animate slow and laggy, without the image it performs fine.
Also...while I have your attention, does anyone know why only CS5 will allow me to compile IPA files that will run on my 1G ipod touch with ios 3.1.3. I would like to use CS5.5, but the IPA from that version will not run on my device.
I´ve done an iPhone app with flash, just a simple rss feeder but it is extremely slow, is it suppose to be so or can I do it faster?
View 1 Replies[code]It even performs ok in low resolution export;but under high resolution export the speed is SUPER SLOW!!I have tried cache as bitmap matrix,[code]Only later I found the caching don't really support 3D rotations... Is there anyway to get it perform normally under high res??
View 1 RepliesI have an application which is almost entirely in actionscript. When I build it using Flex SDK 3.5 its size is roughly 378 KB, While Flex SDK 3.0 outputs a swf with roughly 355 KB. What could the reason be?
View 1 RepliesI'm using AsUnit for unit-testing my current AS3 project. My Main() is basically:
if ( UnitTest )
runUnitTests();
else
runMainProgram();
where I change UnitTest before building depending on whether I want to run the program or run the unit tests. Is there a way that makes it easier to switch between the two modes?
Optimally, I'd use F5 for building with UnitTest=false and another hotkey for building with UnitTest=false. What is the closest I can get with FlashDevelop?
We're currently developing a flex web app and our build situation is far from ideal. At present we're (as in individual developers) just building using FlashBuilder and deploying manually. The programmers are currently screaming bloody murder for two reasons, though:The lack of CI is like going back to the stone ageWe don't much care for FlashBuilder(Note: We're only using FlashBuilder because it was the easiest way to set up a flex project in conjunction with Away3d and get it building / rendering correctly -- it's a stopgap solution).As a predominately .NET development shop, we're used to doing continuous integration as well as continuous deployment. Ideally, we'd like to get something comparable to this for our flash projects without tying ourselves to a particular IDE.
Requirements:
The build process must be:
.. runnable via the commandline
.. runnable on both developer and CI build machines (and certainly not requiring an IDE!)
.. preferably as IDE-independent as possible (pragmatism will kick in though; if this causes a lot of friction we'll just pick one).
.. able to run on Windows (we develop using Windows)
We don't mind a touch of duplication or a few manual steps (e.g. tarting up the build scripts if we add a new project via an IDE, or generating one configuration from another if tools exist), but the less duplication / maintenance required the better.
I just finished with developing my application by Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and I wonder if this will be visible to iPhones 4 because support for Retina displays was added since CS5.5.
There is section in my info.plist:

I'm interested in developing for the iPad and iPhone, but I'd prefer not to learn Apple's whole development stack (and good golly, I sure don't want to go back to manual memory management). Oh, sure, I could learn it, but I don't have that level of commitment to the environment at this point. I've got professional experience with Flex already, so I'm intrigued by Adobe's move to make Flash/Flex compile to the iPhone and iPad. My question is: how promising of a development path will Adobe's Slider be? Are we likely to see Slider publicly available in a reasonable timeframe (Adobe: "An early mobile branch of the Flex framework is expected to be available in 2010")? Are we likely to see reasonable performance? Are there development hurdles that haven't become clear yet? Heck, is it all just vaporware? There's pretty limited information available so far, as far as I've seen, but I'm interested in people's predictions, even if they're speculative.
View 6 RepliesI have built a multi-touch application which is based on a Java EE backend and combined with BlazeDS to a Adobe Flex frontend. The application runs on a DIY-Multi-Touch which I built. Now I want to use another solution. The Adobe Flex frontend (with a multitouch library) and the BlazeDS adapter should be replaced by a solution which covers iPhone/iPad, Android and commercial Multi-Touch displays.
The problem is the iPad/iPhone, there is no Flash Player runtime (not the jail-breaked ones), but the application should be runnable also on those devices. So Adobe Flex and a Java frontend (no JVM on the iPhone/iPad) is not possible anymore. At first, starting the developing of the application it was not neccessary, to run it on Apples mobile devices, but this changed So, what can I do, using HTML5? So I can use it for Android and iPhone/iPad. But I also want to make it possible to use it on a commercial multi-touch-display and normal display with a mouse (I only have gestures for one finger, the 2-finger gestures are not neccessary). Are there any frameworks that allow this? Because I do not want to create several frontends (App for iPhone/iPad on Objective-C and a Adobe Flex for all other devices), it would be great if I can build a frontend for all devices.
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?
Can an iphone app developed with Adobe AIR (version 2.6/2.7) play a streaming sound when it is in background? Only native application can play in background? I have not found a clearly response to this question on documentation. PS: i'm using the Adobe AS3 class Sound to play a shoutcast streaming.
View 2 RepliesI'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?

View 1 Repliesi'm following Christian Cantrell guide for packaging AS3 application for iPhone, but i can't find a way to use the packager for creating an app for testing on device. I've tried with -target ipa-test and -target ipa-app-store but when i try to upload my app on the iPad, iTunes throws an error sayng that i'm not allowed.I've done a simple test using the Packager bundled width CS5 (with the same certificates) and everything gone right.
Is is possible to use CS5 Packager for Flex project ? (i know that flex isn't optimized for mobile)
I'm wondering if the flash packager for iPhone allows you to somehow save data in some kind of database maybe using Core Data or any other form? If it just allows you to export some kind of actionscript based game but doesn't allow for saving data that'd be kinda weak I'd assume so they must have a way (?).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create iphone apps using Flash CS5.5 and I have a doubt... I just created a simple app which plays a long sound (more than 5 min).

I have an iPhone 3GS available, and i have made a provisioning profile with it and certified it through the proper Apple channels, but trying to install the app to the phone through iTunes results in an error (the same one you get when trying to install non-market apps), and i can't find a way to import it into xCode.

I want to create an iPhone game with Adobe AIR, and I want that game to be able to store the players details in a MySql server.

Is there any equivalent to a Flash projector for iPhone? Flash projectors basically seem to package script and Flash libraries into one executable file that can be run on a PC. I'm wondering if anyone has made a similar thing for iPhone where I can take my existing code and package it with the necessary iPhone stuff to make a PC executable. Of course hardware-specific things would not be available like accelerometer/phone/gps, etc. but I don't need any of those. If not, is there anyone currently attempting this?

I need to port an existing game written for the iPhone to Flash. The iPhone game is mainly written in pure C rather than Objective C.
I'm wondering if there are any good tools for converting the C code to Actionscript directly, or in general if anyone has some advice on how to do this porting in an efficient way given its C based source code?
Since the game will keep getting updated with bugfixes etc, a method allowing rapid conversion of the updated game code to Flash so that only one code base would need to be maintained would be optimal.
Im not really new to flash, but pretty useless at Actionscripting and i think thats what i need in this situation.A flash movie was predesigned for us at 12 FPS. which was fine at first but now i have to import those movies into Adobe Presenter 7 which once published runs them at 30 FPS by default. So you can see my problem.. the 12FPS files run way to fast.Im trying to avoid having to edit everyone of those movies and increase the timelines to work with 30 FPS.. that would take weeks.So my question is, can i load the entire movie into a MovieClip and then set my main movies property to 30 FPS and have the MC play at only 12 FPS? i believe i read about this somewhere.or is there a way to automatically extend the timelines? im using CS3 Pro.

View 9 RepliesI'm working in an application that is a kind of presentation with lots of content that should be displayed in "frames".
But I realized, after some struggle, that to put all the content inside the .FLA file doesn't work. Just a couple of tables with text imported from ms word are enough to let the FLA file unusable, even though it occupies little space on disk.
So I've written a function that loads content from an XML file and display it into a movieclip, that contains empty textfields and image containers. Another function organizes the content.
The problem is that the SWF file gets extremely heavy after navigating over a couple of frames, and I believe is shouldn't cause all the content is dynamic. I managed to remove all the listeners and loaded images.
If i have the windows task manager(ctrlalt del) opened while the Flash application is on, I notice that every time I update the content of a "frame" by clicking on a menu item or the navigation buttons, the flashplayer consumes more and more memory.[code]...
