View 2 RepliesI've tried many alternatives to get a text field to show the glow effect on the iPod, but none worked.
It works when I run a .swf on my PC, but the glow filter will not show up on my iPod Touch after I convert it into a .ipa with Flash CS5.5
Is there a method that will currently work?
Is this a bug or something not implemented yet?
i'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 RepliesReading the iphone packager's FAQ from Adobe Labs i read:
Can I play H.264 Video from Flash content on iOS?
Yes. You can play H.264 video from Flash content by launching the content in the native iOS video player. You cannot play back H.264 content directly within the application.
how can i play an H264 content in the native IOS video player ?
I am in the stages of designing a magazine concept for a client, taking the printed version and adding animated and interactive content, it seems Flash would be the obvious choice, and something which I am reasonably skilled with.
If I build the Magazine app with Flash, will the app be able to download additional issues? if so please point to any resources on the subject if possible.
I am using CS5.5 to develop an iOS app and when trying to test the app on an actual device it says that it is not compatible with this device. If i save out the document to CS5 and export it through the CS5 packager and install the app it seems to work fine. Has anyone else had any issues like this? Any work arounds?

I've been creating an application using the Adobe AIR Packager for iPhone (command line style).The app consists of a lot of screens that provide various information, and the navigation is handled all in the document class via an event-triggered function that uses a large switch-case statement to determine what screen to go to.
When we compiled it through the iPhone Packager and tried to test it on one of our phones, it would load up to a blank screen.
After some error testing it was revealed that the switch-case itself is causing a problem (changing it to an if-else that had the same functionality worked just fine). Does anyone know whether this is a known issue, or if something can be done to fix that other than converting it to an if-else.
I would like my application to be able to remain running while the user goes and uses another application. (It will be playing music) Additionally, how to communicate w/ Cocoa Touch from this environment?
If you think this is not possible, which platforms are capable of this (other than the obj-c mac x-code route, which I am trying to avoid)?
Once you have read through the story and then go back along the timelone to previous pages all sfx that have previously been played will continuously start playing again (overlapping etc) even though SoundMixer.stopAll() gets called when ever you hit the back/next buttons. It seems to only be a problem with sound that is embedded in a movie clip that is 2 or more children deep. I have voice over that is just 1 movie clip deep and there is no issues with this. It only happens when playing through iPad/iPhone, the swf itself plays fine on my mac I have a work around of throwing all sfx in a mc on the main timeline and then referencing that but its not ideal and can see this causing more issues later down the track.
Ps. All mc's/animations are timeline based and all sounds are set to streaming.
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:
<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>

<string>1</string>
</array>
I'm making a map with Adobe Flash Professional CS5, using Actionscript 1 & 2, and I'm trying to add the ability to drag and pan while zoomed in. For the zooming, I put a button in either corner: a zoom out icon, and a zoom in icon. For the zoom-in icon, I used the code on (rollOver){ setProperty ("BG", _xscale, "200"); setProperty ("BG", _yscale, "200");} (BG being the name of the instance used for the background of the map, which is a movie clip.) Now, this zooms me in well to one corner, but then i want to be able to drag and pan to be able to see more of the map. I've found some good examples, but the code is way over my newbie head, and I can't get any examples of code I find to work, no matter what I've tried.

View 6 Replieshow to output the error messages I'm seeing in my output screen in the IDE to a text area, so I can see if such errors are occurring in production What I found is that the forum search feature is not working at all. I received no results for the words "error", "movie", "flash" and "text", items which are obviously ones which should return SOME results.I couldn't find any way to contact Adobe about this, so I am hoping someone who works for Adobe and watches the forums will pass this along.
View 2 RepliesI started an animation in flash recently and the autosave feature was turned on. I had a good animation, but decided to play around with it a bit. After a little while, I decided to call it a night and exited the program making sure NOT to save my work. Upon opening that file the next time, I come to find out that Flash has autosaved my file while I was playing around. Now I have a worthless animation, and have to start from scratch. Is there any way to revert to a previous save, or autosave at this point, or am I about to do a lot of work again?

View 1 RepliesPlease provide the feature to disable the system screensaver & power saving features while a video object is currently playing a video. I get this request all the time when developing video players and now that the netflix player provides this feature it is becoming a must have in the online video market. If you know other solution which does not require .net, silverlight , or any other browser plugin besides flash please let me know.
View 1 RepliesI have been struggling with this all day and am hitting my head against a brick wall. I am a registered iPhone developer. My software is on Windows and my app development stuff is on my Mac. I created an iPhone project in Flash Pro CS5 (Windows machine running XP), used the Keychain utility to create a p12 from my developer cert on my Mac along with a provisioning file.
I click Publish, this creates the Flash IPA file.Now what can I do with this? I copy it to my Mac, can see it in iTunes. When I try to copy it to my iPod I get "The app was not installed on the iPhone <name> because the signer was not valid" I cannot seem to do anything with the file in Xcode, perhaps this is not possible? I have been following instructions here:[URL] Open the Keychain Access application (in the Applications/Utilities folder).
[Code]....
I've gone through the whole rigamarole of creating a provisioning profile and P12 developer key, I've exported the app as an .ipa file, and I've added the .ipa file to my iTunes Library. It shows up there under "Apps."However, the app does not appear on the iPhone: not even if I Sync the thing through iTunes. Double-clicking the app in iTunes does nothing. Right-clicking yields only the options "Get Info," "Show in Windows Explorer" and "Delete." If I attempt to drag it onto the iPhone, the mouse cursor changes to a cancel symbol.I am using the latest version of iTunes, and my iPhone is running the latest version of iOS (4.2.1). I don't know what's going on, but it's driving me nuts.

View 1 RepliesI'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?
