I'm developping an Adobe Flex application.
I need to detect gps devices when plugged. Currently, it is a bad heuristic-based detection that is used (it tries to find specific files/directories). It uses the StorageVolumeInfo to discover plugged devices.
'd like to know if there's a way to get the USB id with Flex.
How can I tell from an air app if a USB storage has been plugged in?
View 2 RepliesI have imported my wav files to my library added them to the down state of my buttons and when I test the file I get (Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.) I have been surching for an answer but as of yet have found none.
View 3 RepliesI have a web conference application that allows people to communicate via webcam. However, I would like it to be smart enough to detect if one is plugged in and if it is not, to disable the video feature. Just looks really bad when they try to use video but it gives them a black screen.
My problem is that using the following code, I get camera names that were previously plugged in but not CURRENTLY plugged in:

Does anyone know of a way to get cameras that are working and plugged in?
I'm trying to animate this scene where the plug at the end of a blue wire would snap-in to the white colored socket. Its a simple process, but the tricky part is that I have to make it interactive. In other words, the user has to mouse-click on the plug and drag it close to the white box where the plug automatically snaps in place.
I also need to make the blue-colored wire flexible/bendable to follow the mouse's movement. i'm thinking bones, but don't know how to mate it with the mouses' movement. And I'm rather clueless about ActionScript 3.
Can a Flex application that was designed for use on a PC be run on an iPad, iPhone, or Android-based mobile device? Seems like a simple enough question.[URL]..yields a picture of a dude running a (presumably) Flex application on an Android. So at first glance, the answer would appear to be "yes." End of story.
There is so much (mis)information out there on various tech sites that suggest Flash-based technologies simply won't run on iOS or other mobile platforms. Why is this? Perhaps they mean to say that Flex won't run "out of the box" and requires a plugin? Or do they mean it won't run at all?
Every time I think I've reached a definitive conclusion, some post on SlashDot or CNET directly contradicts it. So what's the scoop? Can one take an existing Flex application and run it on iOS/Android? (I realize there are screen size issues to consider so the app might not run effectively. I just want to know if the runtimes are available on the mobile devices to allow the Flex app to launch at all.)
how ( if it is ) to check the device type with flex ?
with device type i mean : PC, laptop, tablet, phone ..
I am trying to compile an air app, and I keep getting this error: D:Tomcatwebappspublic-htmladmMain.swf (The device is not ready) It seems that someone who worked before me, had worked from a local server. I searched Flex for all known variations, I couldn't find where it is looking for this. I googled as well, which didn't get me anywhere. Does anyone know how to remove this compiling error?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flex 3 application in which embedded fonts were being used. However, due to licensing restrictions, I have to remove the embedded fonts. Not a big problem, but now legal wants to know which device font is being used? Seems like I can only provide them a list of "suggested" fonts from my css file, and not the actual font that will be used at runtime.

"If the client's system does not have the first font in the list, Flash Player attempts to find the second, and so on, until it finds a font that matches. If no fonts match, Flash Player makes a best guess to determine which font the client uses."How can I determine what is the font that the Flash Player ultimately ends up using?
I am creating a sqlite database for my mobile app. once the user has supplied the correct password the database is opened. Various screens of the application will need to read and write data from the db. is there a way I can make the connection global when I open it, so it can be accessed from any view?
the code I am useing to open the DB is
var sqlConnection:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();
sqlConnection.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN,sqlOpenSuccess);
sqlConnection.open(DBFile, SQLMode.CREATE, false, 1024,null);

View 1 RepliesI have a project that uses video for a chat application, I can get it to work in the flex emulator but when I deploy it to the device the button that initiates the video doesn't change and video never starts. My devices all have 2 cameras except my computer but specifiying Camera.getCamera([1]) didn't change anything except mess up my emulator and cause a NullPointerException. Camera.getCamera([0]) works just the same as not having the ID. I have tried messing with different values quality and nothing makes a difference

Developing APPs on IOS using Flex 4.6 I am displaying parsed epub files into stagewebview. It works fine on the device. However, when I try to add the annotation tool which (likes the ibook annotation), I can only select one single word!! I tried the "Game of Flex" which it did the same way as loading a web content into a stagewebview component, and it cannot have control to select more word as well. Therefore, I think its the current limitation (correct me if there is actually a way to do that in stagewebview) on the stagewebview. So, do you guys have other good ideas to display content as html without the limitation? like use other components, call JS? or use native object-c?
View 1 RepliesTried stage.stageWidth and stageHeight on applicationComplete, but for some reason the actual numbers returned do not seem to be accurate - the image always appears off-centered (stageWidth/2 - imageWidth/2).

View 2 RepliesI have a flash file sitting inside of a web page in our company domain. There is another server (used to store images) that is part of the domain but is not running any web services (for security reasons). A folder on the images server is however shared in such a way that any site on the web server can display images from the images server as long as the user is plugged into the domain. For example, both I and my boss can pull up a web site on the web server and see all the information, but only he can see the images
because I have Vista Basic and no domain support. This is done via "<img src='\serverNamedirectory.'/>"
That's ok, but on this particular instance I don't want to display the image on the webpage, I want it in a SWF on the page. However the SWF can't seem to load the images even though the page it's sitting in could. I've tried tons of variations of URLRequests and Loaders, most resulting in security errors. Since most of the online discussions about these errors revolve around cross-domain access, I can't seem to find any tech support for our specific situation.
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 using flash CS5.5 (trail version) and want to export a movei file out to device central to test acceleromoter settings.
When creating the file I : selected air fro andiod, made these changes to the publish settings : set upa certificate, tick all permission (as it kept telling me they hadn't been set) and then click ok.
For some reason under control > test movie > device central is greyed out. If i try to open the .swf file directly in device central it just tells me the device has the wrong version of flash.
Any ideas? I selected the file type as andriod?, preferably would like just to be able to click on test moving in device central.

I had a quick and dirty little IOS application that I thought I'd knock out in Flash CS5.5 and deliver to the AppStore.I must have missed something really important in the past 11 months.I built a small, simple app to test on my iPad.I set it up to run on GPU, set up the p12 and a new Provisioning Certificate. Deployment is set to "quick publishing for device testing". In 2 minutes or less it published to an IPA file.The problem is when I mount the IPA to iTunes Library then to my device, it is literally stuck in Loading mode.... Just to test how slow it is, I left it to run over night.Well it's still loading almost 16 hours later. Is it just me?I can't seem to find any other discussions or articles on IPA loading problems. Do I need to load some other version of something else to make this new version of Flash publish efficiently?Is this not the correct workflow from Flash to an IOS device?
