Currently I am working with Adobe AIR and getting practice with ActionScript. My aim is to display a PDF file in a view (iPad view in specific). To do so, I was using URLRequest to specify the location of the PDF and HTMLLoader for load the PDF. However is not working, I read in the documentation the following[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have read all the documentation and more on optimizations. My question is that if you have to resize sfws for different mobiles is it best to have a res thats the biggest mobile and the rest we can use fullscreen. Or is it best to make a smaller swf and have it size up to full screen. Obviously we are not going to create an swf in 20 sizes. By the way, is it MORE processor hogging for a mobile to size down a 800 by 600 standard swf than to downsize an swf thats only a little larger than the mobile screen.

I am just wondering if it is possible to show an image instead of flash content for mobiles? I want to allow the adobe sniffer to do its thing when it is people using pc and mac browsers and direct them to the plug in page to download the flash player if they need it, but is there a way to sniff for a mobile / smart phone browser and if they cant view flash it will show an image instead?

View 3 RepliesI have created a simple "Hello World" Application using Flash Builder Burrito SDK. I have tested the result in the emulator it is working great. After that I deployed the application using "Export Release Build Option" and entered valid certificate details and created the .apk file. I copied the .apk file into the device and i run the application. I am unable to run the app. I have tried these in 3 android supported devices and in each of these I am getting different error messages.
I have mentioned the device in which I have tested and the error message I got while I tried to install the app (.apk file).
HTC Desire - "Error while parsing the package of the application"
Samsung Galaxy Tab - "Error while parsing the package of the application"
LG Optimus one (LG P500) - "Application not installed"
I have created a New Mobile Project in the flash SDK and added simple label "HELLO WORLD" in the view section. Before deploying I have installed Adobe AIR 2.5 in the device. I need to know whether any restrictions are there for applications developed using Flash Burrito Preview Release. (whether by default all android mobile version more than 2.1 will support it?) Also when I try to install "Tour De Mobile Flex" apk in LG Optimus, it is saying "Device not supported" message. How do I overcome these problems to run the apk file without any problems.
My CS5 flash crashed when I changed the name of the root folder while it was open. Swf is working fine, but .fla file wont open, I get a "Failed to open document" message. This is a disaser because I've lost two days of work. Is there anything that could be done to fix this problem?
View 2 RepliesLooking for getURL syntax /parameters that will let me open/display a specific page of a PDF in a new browser window.
Tried this, but it's not working:
pdf_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("pdfs/sample_file.pdf#page=605", "_blank")
}
The pdf file opens in a browser window, but not to page 605. It opens to page 1 of the pdf.
I have a folder of different pdf files saved with my SWF file. I want the user to be able to click a button and have a new window open for that folder I tryed new URLRequest but that wants to open in internet explorer and wont display the folder contents..

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to open the "open file dialog box" in a swf using javascript.
The swf is on a webpage.
I have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.

View 2 RepliesI am using a flipbook Flash/Actionscript 3.0 framework for a digital magazine[url]...
You can have videos embedded in the pages of the flipbook, but they can not be display fullscreen like Youtube videos, for example.
The flipbook can also import swf files to display as pages of the flipbook, so another way of embedding videos into a page of the flipbook would be to have the video player in the swf page you are embedding. This gives you more control over the style and the positioning of the video.
My question is: Is there a way with AS3.0 to togle the embedded video from normal predefined size to fullscreen and back?
loadVariablesNum("testimonials.txt", 0);
gotoAndPlay("load");
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
Why doesn't this code go through the XML file in order? It should go through the XML file and display the images/comments as they are ordered in the XML file.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {[code].....
When I use swfobject (or, for that matter, publish from Flash)...if my HTML file is in the same folder as my Flash .swf (called "bin")...the flash file displays as a blank white page. I can tell the .swf is on the page, because when I right-click I see the flash context menu...however, the swf is blank. So the path isn't written incorrectly.If I move the HTML file inside the "bin" folder and change the path from "bin/myFile.swf" to "myFile.swf" everything works again...what gives?I think it might have something to do with using the Loader class...I am using loaders to loader external .jpeg files. But I don't know what to do about this other than to keep my HTML files in my "bin" folder which is a bit of a pain.

I am not a stranger to Flash. I have been using it for years. I like it. I use it to create illustrations, but it has this weird issue where the more you edit the line points, the larger your file size gets, until it gets so large that you cannot open it anymore. I generally have this issue around the 7mb mark. I always try to keep an eye on my files and when they get around 3mb, I copy everything and paste them into a new file. I usually do this every two days, or so, if I am working on one illustration for a long time. However, it doesn't usually happen all at once. Today when I opened my file it was about 2mb. I closed it, and then when I went to reopen it had jumped to 14mb! I cannot open my file.
The specific error is, "There is not enough memory to open this scene. Your document is not damaged and may be safely saved. To increase available memory, close open documents or quit and use Get Info command in the Finder to allocate more memory to Flash." I have done searching on google and many people appear to get this error when there are problems with PNG's in the library for their file. The library for my file is completely empty. I have one scene, with about 10 layers. My file was created completely/exclusively in Flash. There are no PNG's or JPG's to be causing problems.
The last time this happened to me, I had a friend with a computer better than mine open the file for me, copy/paste all my layers into a new file, and then send it back. I have experience with the issue but I, unfortunately, don't know if I have any friends who can open 14mb flash files right now.
From my main.swf I want to open up a new play.swf window, while keeping my main.swf still open, but everytime I use loadMovie(),it opens up the play.swf and closes the other main.swf. how to achieve this(don't want to open in Internet Explorer, it should open standalone in flash player)
