Actionscript 3 :: Flash CS5 To IOS - Using Filesystem Causeing App Not To Run On IPhone
Oct 6, 2011
I'm in the final stages of designing a game for the iPhone using Flash CS5 and I'm running into a problem with it running on the iPhone. I am a registered Developer, so I'm doing this completely legit... I'm just doing it on a PC and with Flash so there are a few workarounds being done lol. I'm at a point where it runs perfectly in the simulator but not on the iPhone itself. I load up the game and the opening screen loads up where I have my PLAY button located. The problem is, it doesn't work. It doesn't click, change screens... nada. So I worked it out to be something I'm doing wrong with the way I'm using the Filesystem and my save game file. If I take out the filestream stuff and just put in hard values into all my save game variables, the game runs just fine. The PLAY button does its thing and the game is good to go, except of course that I'm stuck to just the hard set values instead of being able to do little things like change levels. So here is the code I'm using, and hopefully someone can see where I've gone wrong.

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>
<array>
<string>1</string>
</array>

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.

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?

I'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?

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 (?).

I'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).
When the phone auto-locks, my sounds stop. If I unlock the phone, my audio resumes...
How could I do to avoid the lock, or dont interrupt the sound when the device auto-lock?

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 am a Flex developer. I wish to make flex applications for iphone. But, when I google up for the same, most of the link shows up that Adobe Flex and flash aren't supported on iphone.
Is this right ? Why it isn't supported ? If it is supported, which are the good books for developing iphone applications via flex.

I'm on a project where the main SWF loads some other swf file and show them. I told my boss that AS3 need the exact path and name of the file to load it, that it can't list a folder and take everything in! I'm almost totally sure I'm right ! I'm not talking about a php script that list the folder and send variable to flash.

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.

In need to move/delete files on the local file system of the user from a web page.
I know the flash player run all applications in a sandbox for security reasons. But maybe is there the possibility for the user to allow local filesystem operations (in some advanced settings). Or maybe to sign/join a certificate.

I 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'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 have built an app in Adobe Flex (4.5) and it works well on Android, but i need to test it on an iDevice. 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.
NOTE: i developed the app on a PC in Flex, but have a MacBook Pro available for testing.

From what I've read, the fileSystem class (which I need to write a data file to disk from a projector) works in Flash CS4 as long as you have the AIR runtime (which I do), according to the documentation.
I found quite a bit of sample code, but I can't even get the package to load and all of the types and functions and classes are undefined.
Here's my code:
import flash.filesystem.*;
function writeFile():void {
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory;
[Code]....
I can't find filesystem.as in my install folders. Perhaps it's somewhere else?
Or perhaps I misunderstand the documentation and you can't use fileSystem in a flash projector with AIR?
Or is there some setting in Flash I need to adjust to work with the library and AIR?
