Actionscript :: Port A Flash Application To BlackBerry PlayBook?
Jan 2, 2011
I have a Flash application written in ActionScript 2 that I would like to port to the BlackBerry Playbook. The application is composed of an .swf file and a directory containing a large number of vector images. The path to these images (e.g. imagefolder/icons/icon1.swf) is hard-coded into an application and requires the image directory and the .swf file to be in the same directory.
I've installed the PlayBook SDK and have tried packaging the application with FlashBuilder 4, but I have no experience with this programme and have so far been unsuccessful. I tried placing the application in an SWFLoader component, but I then realised after reading this pdf document that MXML components are not supported. Since the app is written in AS2, I believe it cannot be compiled by Flash Builder. I don't need any any of the AIR features so I was wondering how could I embed the .swf and image directory in a Flash Builder ActionScript project so that it would run on the BlackBerry PlayBook.

I'm trying to do an unzip like application for the Blackberry Playbook, which means that the application mostly gets launched when the user clicks a file for which the app is registered.I googled a bit around, and the closed what I found is this, but MobileApplication doesn't have invoke parameter.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:MobileApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

way to modify/replace the icon of a Playbook program?
Like display a red star on it - to indicate there is new message for the user.
I've tried tracing NativeApplication.supportsDockIcon and NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon properties, but they are both false on Playbook simulator.

I'm creating a pure actionscript 3 mobile project for Blackberry Playbook. One problem I have came across is that there seems to be no inbuilt way to handle view navigation. In flex mobile projects, we have the spark.components.ViewNavigator component, but this isn't available on a pure AS3 mobile project. These two links are both making their own libraries for view navigation...

I am creating a Playbook app in Adobe Flex/AIR. I have a situation where there is too much content to show all on one page so I would like it where the content overflows vertically, the user can swipe to scroll down, like they were viewing a website on an Ipad.
I am extending the View class to make my screens, I could place every screen in a one element List or surround it all in a Scroller but surely there must be an inbuilt way to do this on the Playbook?
With the limited Blackberry documentation, I'm struggling to find the solution,

Is possible to make a "push", initiated by a server, to send data down to a Blackberry playbook application?
If so how is this best implemented in Flex/Actionscript? ie. How do we capture this on the client?

This is for a playbook app. I have two classes:
public dynamic class Bullet extends Sprite {
public function update():void {
x += 5;
y += 5;
[Code]...
This is essentially what I'm trying to do. What's the best way to achieve this in actionscript?

What is a good framework to build a multiplayer game in Actionscript? I want to create a multiplayer 2D shooter like Asteroids on the Blackberry Playbook; my main concern is latency - a shooter wouldn't be fun if the bullets are super-jerky and unexpectedly hit people. I'm guessing that a UDP-based framework would be the best.

there is a Picker example for usage in an ActionScript project. It works well in simulator. But how do you use that component in a Mobile Flex Project (with Burrito Flash Builder)? How do you add a qnx.ui.picker.Picker to a spark.components.View? The latter seems to expect a mx.core.UIComponent, but the former is a qnx.ui.core.UIComponent. The ActionScript project I've mentioned above works ok, because the Picker is added to the Sprite. But adding it to a View in a Mobile Flex project fails for me.
UPDATE: I've found this page today: [URL] And also I've found out that the QNX AIR components work on Android as well, wonder if it is legal to use them there? Nothing is mentioned in Playbook SDK Legal Notice.

how to take what a user inputs into a s:TextInput and use that as a variable in a JSON data request? Basically, I want to have a user enter a search term, like "math" and then have that placed into a variable so I can use it in a JSON request. Something like public var q:String, except that my search box (and hence user input) is on another "view" of the application. I've just started with Flex Mobile applications and I might be way out of my league.

We have an AIR application which is running in client-server mode as a desktop application. Our application runs on AIR version-1.5;Flex version 3.5. We want this application to be ported to android. Will AIR 1.5 work with Android? if not which version of AIR should be used with Android? And also, Can I configure my Flex Builder to partucular version of AIR SDK? I am getting confused with AIR 2.0, 2.5 and recently released flex Hero SDK for mobile platforms.

I'm developing an application for the Blackberry Playbook using Flash Burrito 4.5 and Flex. I'd like to create a file browser to allow users to load images from the local system into the application. I followed this example [URL] When I click on the Load Image button in the simulator however, the file browser pops up but tells me that "no file was found with the specified filter", even though I don't specify any filter or even if I specify a . filter.

How do I script to connect /send a signal to the COM port of the PC from a Desktop Flash application. The Signals can be variables such as "1/2/3/4" . The signals will be send on a corresponding click in the flash application. For eg: if I click button "A" in the Flash application, it sends a signal "1" to the COM Port. If I click the Button"B", it send the signal"2" to the COM Port.

In a project that I'm working on, I have to be able to read input data from a serial port. The input data will be very simplistic in nature. I'm guessing more like a on/off, yes/no, true/false style of operation.I have found some examples in other languages, but nothing in AS3 or AS2. Could anyone send any sample code or a link to a tutorial that gives me some lead way on this? Which approach is better, going with a Flash projector piece, or building it in AIR? The final piece will be on a PC based system.

I am new to flash builder. I made an mobile app in Flash pro and it works fine on iOS/Android. I tried to export it to BB Playbook and I got a problem. I have all keys, certificates and software installed. I have read few tutorials about it, and I got an .swf in my project. It runs perfectly in simulator(Debug build). But when I build release build I get an empty .swf file inside the package. There is an .as file in the project with same name as .swf, which I guess is compiled to swf and replace it.[url]...

how I am making a site in flash they always say "flash is not the best choice, its obsolete now. because search engines and iPod/I phones + blackberries cannot read its content. The problem is, I fell comfortable using flash and think that it is a great tool, but am disappointed in a way that adobe has not optimized this application for the 2012 and beyond.
My question is it possible to take a site all done in flash and converted it entirely to html, and will it work? I have read articles about html5, and programs that can convert flash to html 5 but how accurate are there, are they any bugs with them?

I need to port a C-like enum to Haxe:
enum Items
{
item1,
item2=0x00010000,
item3=0x00010001,
item4,
[Code].....
But Haxe doesn't allow default value it seems. How can I do this? My real enum has hundreds of entries and for those with default values I must preserve the values.

I'm trying to decipher a pre-existing project and make some modifications as I go.
I have a section of code that starts with creating a new NetConnection and then streaming a media file from an external source. I see in the documentation that you can provide a destination port (via the URL), but is it possible to force Flash to use a specific source port? I couldn't find a clear way to do this in the documentation, but I was curious if anyone else has an alternate method or idea.

FMS and IIS are set up with separate IPs on the same server. Both are configured for port 80 because others, including 1935, are often inaccessible from certain environments. Problem is, the server's behind a router. Port 80 can only be forwarded to either the IP of FMS or that of IIS. Even if the two were on separate machines, I'd still have to deal with this.
