Actionscript 3 :: Developing AIR Application With SQLite?
Aug 17, 2011
I am going to start doing a couple of Adobe AIR projects that will be using SQLite feature provided by AIR. Since this is the first time I am attempting to do this, Since this application will be accessing a local db, I think I can open a connection to the database at the start of the app and keep it open till the application closes. Is this a right approach to use here?
How should design my application if I am using an MVC framework like Mate or Cairngorm? Should I create some wrapper class to perform the db operations so I can reuse this in some other project? Looking forward to some valuable information...
I have been a desktop developer for a few years mostly doing object oriented stuff. I am trying to branch out into web development, and as a hobby project trying to put a web application together. I have been reading quite alot of information, but I still can't seem to decide on the path to take and would really like some advice. Basically, I want to build something like this:
http:[url]....I have found this as well: http:[url]....
But so far it is of little use as I am trying to grasp Javascript. I have been using visual studio for that, is that a good IDE for this tye of thing or should I try expression blend? Jpolite seems to do everything with javascript, which seems kind of cool, but I if I want to make a chart inside a widget that connects to a database, do I need something more? Is this where ASP.NET comes in? I am familiar with .NET, but if I use ASP.NET for my website, do I have to host it on IIS and windows server as opposed to Apache since mono is still being ironed out? Because that would cost more, so would PHP be a better choice?Also, for charting these guys as well as google seem to use flex: http:[url]....I have found this: http:[url].....
Would that be sufficient to implement something like google fiance purely in javascript or is there a good reason they use flex?
I checked this link Flex Cross Resolution Applications and it did Infact,the display varies from browser to browser, (for eg. chrome vs ie8) Chrome has bigger browser window. How to develop flex applications in this case ? I am using values in percentages.However,panel which displays properly in IE8, appears big in chrome with text and buttons having same size. How to solve this problem
I know that IntelliJ makes it really easy for you to develop and start a FLEX project. However, I am wondering if there is a way to do the same with Flash App Development. I do not need the MXML file and other things that come with Flex. I just want to be able to start a Flash project like I would in Flash CS5 and be able to run the .swf file from IntellIJ. Not having the UI tools is not a concern to me.
Is there a way to do this. Are there ways to achieve this?
I want to emded SQLite database (*.db file) to the AIR app, like images, mp3 etc.This is to ensure that it was impossible to copy my database for other users.
I have a mobile application that uses an sqlite database. I cannot seem to figure out how to access the next record when the user presses the 'next' button. My database is using 'id' as primary key with autoincrement as integer.
private function nextMoveRPart(event:EffectEvent):void { var cardNumber:int = parseInt(cardNumberLabel.text);
I would like to have a Flash Application (not air) to connect to a local database. Air is not only getting unsupported by Adobe in LINUX but besides, it has serious problems and miss implementation with SQLite. So we want to connect to a local MySQL database. This application should be simple, so we do not want to also have an unnecessary web server (also local) to make a middle communication between the flash app and the MySQL server. There is this driver that allow to communicate Flash with MySQL [URL] Question is: Would it be any problem using this approach when installing the whole application to each client? (because we also in the installation should install a MySQL server).
I've recently started developing a big project in flash. I'm trying to tackle the resolution issue at the start, but not sure what to do. The way I see it, the only way to go is to make something for default resolutions such as 1028*768. Other then that there isn't much to do.
A browser stats site showed that something like 50-60% have that res, but other users have different resolutions. I dont want my users to see the game as too big or too small.
In an effort to learn the technology and languages I'd like to try to develop my own Flash Video player (for the web).The main goal would be to brand the interface and be able to stream/play flv video files over the web on websites.I have no idea where to even start looking for information or what to look for on this topic
I have developed a java program as a part of my homework and have to build "really good" GUI for it as is the demand.I would like to know if I can develop a flash based gui and then run my java code behind it since I have learnt flash before ??Since I have some time constraint I don't think I would be able to implement full dragabble features using swing and java applets.
So I have been sending my .apk to myself via email attachment and opening it on my Android Tablet and attempting to install the app for testing.But I have continually gotten an error, even when I save it to a microSD card on the Android Tablet.It simply won't install.I was wondering if there is an example .apk file (Hello World even) that has been created in Flash and has installed on an Android device,
I'm planning to develop a chat program in Flash using a sample program called Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK. On their website, they say: with the help of this sample program you can easily implement text, audio and video chat programs and it doesn't require a long period of time.
Im developing a website for them and im trying to create a custom slide down menu using xml.
*View Attachment - includes XML file*
When pressing on the category, the project name slides into the scene. I started to test it by calling the "moveDownSubMenu" function into an onRelease function apply to each category in a loop. Its only applying to the last projectname
I'm a relative noob looking to develop a simple app for the Android platform, I've got the thing working in Air on my machine and am wondering how easy it will be to get it to run on Android OS devices. I've been looking around for how-to type resources but the stuff I've found has either been too vague or too advanced.
I am wanting to try to use a sqlite database in my project.I have downloaded several sqlite managers from the internet and they all save the database with a sqlite extension.However I see in flash we use the db extension (is this correct?);How can I use the databases I create if they all save with a sqlite extension?
I'm working on a simple todo app that has a column for each day of the week. On startup, the app checks to see if there are any incomplete tasks from before the current date. If so, they're moved to the top of the current date's column. The app is cloud-based, but the tasks are backed up for offline mode with an SQLite db. I can easily move the tasks by updating their date property, but I need the order property of each task to increment starting at 0 to place them at the top. I need to be able to define a count variable in SQLite alone and increment it with each update that's performed. I know this code doesn't work, but it's an easy way of explaining what needs to be done:
I have an as3 app which utilises an sqlite db to save metrics data. It is well known that as3 is single threaded, so when I save to this db, the Stage Video I am playing becomes jumpy! I have heard that saving db data in batches can speed up this process so I save in a loop:
for (var i:int=0; i < metricsObject.metricsComponentData.length; i++){ switch (metricsObject.metricsComponentData[i].mouseType) { case MetricsCollator.MOUSE_OVER: this._query_txt = "INSERT INTO " + this._tablePath[0] + " VALUES (null, " + this._sessionID +
[code]...
I have looked into pseudo threading examples but they all require a sprite or stage instance, the class I am executing this code in, is not a display class, I don't really want to pass an instance of the stage into this class.
1) Screen 1: A user login Screen - Once i enter my user name and password i will enter into the Screen 2 2) Screen 2: Screen 2 Displays with my User name on Top and Frame out looks like Course Lessons under the course 1) 2) 3)....
Towards the right side I want to view whether the lesson is Completed/Not Started/In Progress (which has to call from the database) followed with Date and Duration. What steps to be followed to make this output. (To make this output format what do we need to use like.. flash, xml,sql database...).
Working on a simple score counter for my young son -- the idea is to simply add or subtract 1 digit to reveal the score. The variables only need to be 0-9 in each column. Can someone advise on how to make this work correctly? The animation was developed using a root.xxxx +1 or -1. It does the trick but as you can see, it keeps going into the double digits in each column.
He personally does not care about the code glitch -- but his perfectionist Dad does [URL]...
I'm developing a module based applications in Flex and I was thinking about moving all my Value Objects (VOs) into a library project
Current Structure: I have a project that consist of a shell application and 3 modules. The modules contain about 10 custom components in each that are dynamically loaded at run time. My problem is component A ( in module A) needs to pass data to component B (in module B). So when this happens I move the VO that component A was using to a common folder. I then pass the VO and have component B pick that up and do what ever it needs to do with it.
So what I was thinking was using an existing library project and adding all my VOs to it. This way I'll never have to move a VO from the module to a common folder so both module A and module B can access it. The basic idea is I want to be able to complete abstract any module from shell into its own widget or Air app with out depending on any other modules.
I need to create a game for an interactive kiosk. The game is fairly basic, it will most likely be done in flash/AS3 (I believe this is the best choice for this kind of game) UNLESS the dual display requirement is far easier to accomplish with a different technology. The kiosk consists of two displays, both of which need to show separate content from within the same game. Here's the question: How can I (or anyone) create a flash game that utilizes two separate displays for different content? (This is not just a wider field of vision for the game, the two screens will show different things.)
My Idea (probably not the best): Design the game on a canvas twice as wide as one of the monitors, then split the canvas in half and code the game to output different things to each half of the screen. Then run the monitors in "extended desktop" mode or something like that, and make sure that the split between the two desktops occurs in the middle of the game canvas. The two displays are being fed from the same machine and same graphics adapter. The whole "kiosk" is powered by one single machine.
I remember that I've heard about a flash cs5 feature which lets the developers export their project to iphone (.ipa file) and pretty much make games for the iphone using actionscript 3, Is that really possible to do? I've also heard that now in order to develop games for the iphone I could use the adobe AIR I have no idea what or where to go to start, if it's really possible to do so with Flash CS5 then I'd get it
ive constantly problems when developing flash applications that work based on flash variables provided in the embed code of a website. it is very annoying and time consuming to re upload swf�s to a web server after every change to see if it works in browsers. is there a way to simulate embed info...like there is simulation for download.
I am developing a lite mp3 player and the track bar has a circular shape. How to interact on mouse click so I can jump to any position of the track (I know how to draw a progressive circle or to interact with a horizontal track bar).
I want some help on developing a site similar to looklet.com/create. I want to know what is the approach to make it. Should i make it XML based i.e an XML for each category? How are the number of models handled? Should I put each category of clothes in different layer and load the images? I have made some few games for kids in which they need to dress up a doll. But in that I had characters wearing all sort of clothes and i just need to show the frame containing the character with the particular dress chosen by user.
