Professional :: Printing From A Native Mobile App?
Dec 3, 2011
I'm on to designing my 3rd app. I have two already in the Android and Apple stores. Fairly simple ideas these were. Now, I've come across a bit of a challenge. I want to design an app that contains a database of text files, many also containing pictures. I'd like to have it where you can view these files on, lets say, the iPad, and then print them wirelessly, or send them to yourself in an email, so they can be printed elsewhere.
I have considered just creating an ebook and selling that on the store, but I don't think apple allows you to print from these books. Has to be in PDF, and having an app would be a much better way of distributing and updating it. My idea is creating something quite siimilar to how Apples 'Pages' works, just without any editing capabilities. Select document and print. Sounds simple enough but I can't find any code or tutorials to help me out with this. What I want to know is... can I add a button, that will open up and use the printing options built into iOS? Is this possible to do in Flash with AS3 or would I need to learn how to use Flash Builder and Flex? Could it possibly be done in InDesign?

I have a sprite that has a scrollbar that uses the scrollrect feature. The sprite has several bitmaps and textfields. When I print the outer sprite (The one with the scrollrect) all of the textfields outside the scrollrect are cut after the first line. In case anyone else is having problems with printing sprites with scrollrects using the bitmap printing option fixes and prints most of the stuff in the sprite. Excluding all textfields outside of the scrollrect. This however can be fixed partially by embedding your fonts.
So now the only problem left is printing multiline textfields that are outside the scrollrect. P.S. Imho the scrollrect should have nothing to do with the printed area of the sprite because the printJob.addPage has a printarea parameter.

I 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.

I would like to move (right or left according the current view) between 2 views when I move my finger on the mobile screen; for example with Google+ mobile application, in profil section, you can change the view just on move your finger on the screen, and the offset and the moving speed must be checked before change complete view.

I tried to apply a filter to a video on mobile phones and had a strange effect:
When I apply the filter to a 24 FPS source video the resulting frame-rate after applying the filter drops to about 7 FPS. But if I use a 8 FPS source video the frame-rate is even lower at about 3-4 FPS. I expected an higher, or at least equal resulting framer-rate with the 8 FPS source video. What's the reason for this behavior?
I use the Flash Player 10.1 for Android 2.2 and the Google Nexus One.

For example, in this Adobe Developer Connection article"Since we are able to compile ActionScript to ARM ahead of time, the application gets all the performance benefits that the JIT would offer and the license compliance of not requiring a runtime in the final application.""When you build your application for iOS, there is no interpreted code and no runtime in your final binary. Your application is truly a native iOS app."After reading a large amount of information like this from Adobe and other sources, I went ahead and bought an Android phone. After actually getting the .APK file published from Flash Pro CS 5.5 onto the phone and installed, it of course gave me the message that I needed to install Adobe AIR to run the program.How can that be "truly a native app?" The same happens in iOS, obviously. Is Flash running in a web browser a "truly native app" in that case? The extra step of making users download the Adobe AIR package makes it all seem so half baked compared to actual native apps. I'm assuming there is no way to package AIR with your app?

Right now I'm designing an application for smartphones and tablet. What I am interested to know is whether I can integrate specific functions. These app would include:
1 The automatic screen rotation 2 Scroll page (in particular pages I will have a list of which need scrolling)3 will have many pages and would require a small search engine
You can insert these three functions?

I'm newbie at forum , if I opened this topic to the wrong place ; please , excuse me I'm an HTC HD2 user. nd I noticed that ; Flash 10.1 support to the Android OS had come to HTC Google Nexus One , with "Froyo" update. I watched some videos at Youtube , about "Open Screen Project" (that Adobe leads) . And Adrian Ludwig(at Flash team) was using HTC HD2 and showing the Flash 10.1 at phone. I'm thinking that , if he used Flash at HTC HD2 , then there must be a release for phone too. I'm not sure , it's very important for me.

I'm having a hard time finding information on the best way to deliver video to mobile apps built in Flash CS5.5.
I'm working on an iPad app using AIR for iOS and I'm wondering how I call on video files basic controls.
The app I'm working on is just a mobile presentation for our studio's production work, so I just want to be able to add our showreel and some other videos of work we've done.

I have a project for mobile where some of my animations scenes look as though they are winding up or playing in slow motion (from the start). They start out slow for about three seconds, as if they are winding up or in slow motion, and then they run at a normal pace. It only happens on specific animations and is consistent on different devices. Also, once I come back to the scene (revisit), the animations run normally from start to finish.
I have had some success in speeding up some animation by doing the following: In some scenes, the following would occurr: 1) a character was walking 2) the character grew in size though tweening 3) the background was animated as well ect. In other words, there were several things happening in the animation. In this example, I made it less complex by keeping the character the same size and making the background static. This helped alot. However, for the aforemation animations, I have tried everything (I am aware of) and nothing has helped. I'm not sure what to do next.

I'm developing a multi monitor fullscreen application with Adobe Air 2.6. I can create a window for every monitor, and put those windows to fullscreen.
theWindow.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
The problem comes when interacting with those windows. If I click the window on the main monitor (the one with the dock and menu bar) no problem, but when I click any other window the system menu bar becomes visible. I've tried resizing the main window to match the monitor size and moving it to a negative coordinate but it always stays behind the bar. Is it possible to do this in Air?

I'm working on a native Objective-C iOS app and I'm wondering if it is possible to embed an animation created in Flash into my app. The animation doesn't have to be interactive, all I need is a couple of animated screens (intro screen, loading screen). Is this posible?

I'm trying to add an event listener to a window that pops up (to the whole window) that will close that window when clicked on. Basically it's your typical about window that would be found in any program by hitting help, then about this program. I am using no chrome on it so I'd like to just be able to click it and have it close.
On a less important note I'd like to center the window on the stage when it pops up. Right now I'm just using the x and w properties to get it close to center on my monitor but obviously that won't work for everyone. Below is the code I've tried. No luck whatsoever. Window pops up but stays up if I click it. Any help as always would be AMAZING!

It's a great thing that it's possible to compile an SWF into iOS native app. I think AIR is now the best option to write e.g. small games or interactive books. Of cause AIR app will be slowler than the same app written on e.g. objective C. The question is how slower AIR app will be. Can simple AIR apps be launched e.g.on iPhone 3G or iPAd 1?
And another question is, can arbitrary flash app be compiled into iOS native app?

I have tried the options given on Adobe Livedocs : adt -package -target native myApp.exe myApp.air, but I keep getting the message "-storetype required". I then try with adt -package -target native -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp.air and get the same message. I have already created the .air file and the .p12 cert file in flexbuilder, and am just pointing to these in the command prompt in the specified places, but the same problem occurs. Any ideas?

I have made an AIR 2.0 app that uses NativeProcess so it needs to be packaged as a native installer (.exe) rather than a .air file.
I first tried using Package Assistant but I kept getting an error telling me it cannot load keystore file. so I tried using the command line

I am trying to make an AIR application, that needs to pass an image (.jpg/.png) to a C++ app, that does number crunching.(this needs to be done very often, like every 2-3 seconds.) I've managed to pass the image by saving it to disk via AIR, then opening this file with the C++ program (and passing the filename as an argument to the C++ program), but this method is really slow, because it involves lots of disk I/O.
Is there a method to send an image directly to a native process?
Edit: There is a good Flash-C++ communication example at [URL] using sockets. The big problem with this method is, that some firewall settings can block the communication (i get a windows firewall warning, when i start the app).

I am trying to use the IOS in-app native extension, which is found at [URL], and I have linked the SWC with my flash project... The problem I am having is that all of the usage code talks about integrating with a Flex project rather then an FLA - does anyone know if it is possible to port this extension for use with a flash project?
