Is it possible that an adobe air application that runs fine with an older installed AIR runtime stops working or works buggy if it is installed on a system that has a newer version of the runtime installed?
View 2 RepliesWe are migrating our Flex-3.2 application to Flex 4.1, mainly to take advantage of the new text flow/engine features. In a first step we decided to go with compiling for MX-only and in Flex-3-compatibility mode.

Now do the same in Flex 3 and you'll see both events fire.Apparently, this is a bug. Might be possible to work around this but certainly decreases my level or trust substantially.2) Dialogs/popups show all content mirrored.A bug as well. Easy to work around, but how could something that obvious slip?
I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")
Is Adobe AIR the best cross-OS-compatible, browser-less runtime for RIAs? What are drawbacks unique to AIR? What are positives unique to AIR? Is AIR expected to grow and develop for years to come? Who's the industry leader?
View 2 RepliesI know it is possible to run an Adobe Flex compiled .swf from the command-line using the adl command-line tool.
Is there an equivalent way to run a Flex .swf from the command-line using the system installed AIR runtime?
My question applies to OS X, but I'd interested to know about other platforms also.
I am trying to duplicate a flex component at run time. For example if I have this:
mx: Button label="btn" id="btn" click="handleClick(event)"/>
I should be able to call a function called DuplicateComponent() and it should return me a UI component thts exactly same as above button including the event listeners with it.
It seems to me like the biggest arguments against Flash right now falls into three categories:It is slow and battery intensive. Basically that it uses too much CPU than it should. It is not an open standard. Eveyone knows how HTML/CSS and JavaScript operate inside. Flash is not open.It has security flaws which make it insecure.
Seems like all of these concerns could be addressed if Adobe opensourced the Flash player. Third parties could contribute to and audit the code base, and optimize and fix bugs. Adobe could concentrate on making the apps and environments that author Flash content best. Well, Adobe hasn't done that yet. Why not? What are the business/technical reasons that makes Adobe want to keep control of a closed source Flash player?
I am trying to package air runtime and air application in a native installer. i googled a lot on how to achive the same. i found this link [URL]..which says u need ' AIR bundled runtime installer' to package air runtime with air application.
But havn't found any air bundled runtime installer. from where i can download 'AIR bundled runtime installer' alternative way to package the air runtime with air application except badge from web page.
I am trying to create AIR native installer bundled with AIR runtime for windows, Mac and Linux operating system??
I'm using Adobe Flash CS5 with Adobe Air 2.5 to build an air app. Is there a way to make use of the Air 3 captive runtime feature? Do I need additional software to publish the Air app with the captive runtime?
View 1 RepliesI can't find this information online or in the documentation, does anyone know what versions of Android and iOS the AIR 3.0 captive runtime is compatible with? I'm assuming there is some restriction there, but short of actually compiling a program and trying it on iPhone for example, which I don't have, how can I tell which OS versions are supported?
I know that you can compile an Adobe AIR 2.7(?) application to target say Android 2.2, but what about the captive runtime with AIR 3.0? Also I don't see anywhere to find out the iOS version restriction with AIR, as you have to pay $100 to Apple to even get the SDK which would allow me to make an iOS project in the first place.
I'm honouring stack overflow with my first ever on line web building question... My challenge to myself; content must fill the window, whatever size/orientation, and up to pretty extreme aspect ratios in both directions (landscape/portrait). The images must follow suit, but I don't what space appearing around them - they must stay just big enough to fill and be cropped/overflow/be hidden but (importantly) no bigger. One other thing; no scroll bars anywhere.

I am working on flash both at home and at school. at school we have MX 2004, and at home i have CS5. i have just found that when i save a file in CS5, i then cant open it again in 2004. Is there any way i can convert the file back to 2004 to work on at school?
View 2 RepliesI'm working off CS4 and using mainly Premiere Pro. I'm also using Photoshop, Flash, Soundbooth from CS4 and using files from those applications in Premiere Pro. All good so far. My projects have a few layers but really nothing too complicated. I work with someone who will eventually create the flash elements of our projects. To do this the company ordered further licenses for CS4 but we received CS5 instead.
If she loads CS5 onto her computer and creates Flash files (CS5) that I then use in Premiere Pro CS4, will it be compatible? Also, if I want to then adjust that CS5 flash file in Flash CS4, will that work, or will I encounter problems? Should we go with the CS5 or try and get another copy of CS4 for the new computer? (My computer needs to stay CS4).
I was working on a project with flexmojos 3.9 and Flex 4.0. I decided to upgrafe my version of the flex SDK to 4.5 but I have the followin problems:

2- Stack trace: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:flex2.compiler.common.Configuration.setKeepDebugOpcodes(Z)V
I was wondering, because of my recent liking of AS3 and active flash content:
Just how compatible are flash files in web browsers?
Will they run in every browser? (obviously not, but which ones don't they run in / which ones do they have trouble running in?)
Why, in Internet Explorer does it always give me a hard time about running active content with its security warnings? (is there a way to get around this / allow the content to play normally without hassle? e.g When I got to Sony.com Internet Explorer does not complain about running that active content.)
Is there anything else you know about the compatibility that you would like to share?
My artist just upgraded to Flash CS5, and ended up with Flash CS5.5. I've got Flash CS5, and can't read his files. "The document 'blahblahblah.fla' was created with 'Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5' and cannot be opened in this version of Flash." Did Adobe really bollix up the normal convention of software version numbering(#.001 - #.999 signifies compatibility) or is there something else going on?

View 1 RepliesI develop these site in PHP BB BMW Dubai and Porsche Dubai but failed to rotate images in top banner. After lot of dissapointment, i recently converted that baner with 6 small pictures than 2 big pictures (previously). Now im thinking of changing or rotating those 6 pictures in flash. So my question is which flash player is the bestest to export to, i mean level fl5,6,7,8. I dont wanna export at most recent as it might bug users to upgrade their old flash player, when they browse my content.
know if there are known issues anyone knows about PHPbb stuff with flash files. I will be experimenting this for first time. As in Dubai at least i have not seen any one site using flash in PHP BB, as people dont detailing attention to community board.
I'm developing a Silverlight4 drop-in replacement for an existing Flash client. I would like to maintain compatibility with the existing Flash HTML bridge javascript functions, but I can't figure out how to expose the javascript interface directly on the Silverlight client object instead of a contained object.
In Flash, it is possible to call Bar() directly on the client object, as in:
var flashClient = document.GetElementById(_currentFlashId);
flashClient.Bar();
But in Silverlight, I haven't found a means to call an interface directly on the Silverlight object. Instead, it appears interfaces can only be exposed on contained objects, as in:

I have just created a simple website with old Flash 7 (2004). I am wondering whether website created with such old application will be compatible with newer Flash players. I am not a web developer, I just need this one small website for my tiny business, therefore I try to avoid spending hundreds of dollars on new version. However, I am worried that modern computers might have some problems to view my website smoothly???

View 1 RepliesI am trying to execute the very simplistic animation of a bouncing ball-- I followed all the steps (three different ways from three different sources, but they were all fairly similar), and I cannot get my ball to bounce slowly. Instead, it just flips from up to down like a switch. I put easing -100 and 100 at the two different motion tween points, but still nothing... When I look at the onion skin view, I don't see the gradual movement- just the balls. What am I doing wrong, or does this have to do with flash not being compatible with the new snow leopard?
View 1 RepliesApparently Adobe added more features in flash video with each successive flash version, so earlier versions of flash video are only compatible with the same earlier version of the flash player. I'm trying to find out which video features are compatible with each of the flash players. This is because I want to create video for the lowest possible version of the flash player, so more people will be able to view it.

I want make my flash application support InternetExplorer, FireFox and Chrome on Windows. But I'm developing it on Mac OSX.
How compatible is flash player of Mac OSX with flash player of Windows?
Do I have to test the application not only on Mac OSX but also on Windows?
How about compatibility with flash player of other OSes, for example, Android, Linux, Wii?
I've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?
