View 1 RepliesI am building a Flex iPhone application that in an ideal world would need to open up the iPhone SMS interface to send texts, make calls, access phone information (such as phone number) and access contact lists... I realise there isn't much in the way of accessing phone specific API's through flex at the moment, does anyone know if or when this is coming?
My main question: I seen this interesting article on extending AIR to access android APIs and was wondering if there was anything similar for accessing iOS APIs? What are people doing at the moment if you need to access iOS APIs? Is everyone waiting for an update to Flex/AIR?
I have a set of Flex proprietary libraries (ActionScript APIs in SWCs), and I am wondering if it is possible to build a UI completely in HTML using these APIs for functionality, rather than a Flex based UI/view. If yes, what would be the approach (or some examples)?
One reason to do so is to re-use the existing Flex (domain layer) APIs (for the short term) rather than re-writing them in say, JavaScript.
Just to confirm what I think I understand from reading about use of google APIs in RIAs (FLEX 4 and ActionScript) there is no way to connect to blogger API for example, directly from RIA because of google's crossdomain.xml file, right?
So if I want to use their APIs to get some data like content of my mailbox or list of posts on my blog I have to have some code running server side and RIA would just use that code as httpservice to collect data from google?

View 1 RepliesI've recompiled my app with Flex 4.6 / AIR 3.1 and now when I upload to the Android market it says my app is using a "android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY" permission. In it's simplest terms what is it and can or should I turn it off (it's not in the app descriptor file)?
BTW I used captive runtime for the first time in this upload. Would that have anything to do with it?

I am trying to create a secure database for a mobile app using the as3corelib EncryptionKeyGenerator package from here but when I run it I get the following error:Error: EncryptedLocalStore is not supported on the current platformat flash.data::EncryptedLocalStore$/setItem()Googling around I see it is becaue the ELS is not supported for mobiles. Does anyone know of the best solution to this problem? I guess I could use the persistence manager to store the information but I am not sure this is the most secure method.

I have a problem - How to run AIR (really big desktop application) on my Galaxy Tab 10.1? It's possible convert .air to .apk?
EDIT:
1. I set up a new desktop project (File -> New -> Flex Project)
2. Project name is "simpleTest", Application type is Desktop (runs in Adobe AIR), Flex SDK version 4.6.0 and click to Finish
3. I go to Design mode, then set the width to 500 and height to 250. I add one button by drawing and name it btnOne and make Generate Event Handler
4.Then I go to Project -> Export Release Build (Export as Signed AIR package) -> Next (I apply the certificate) -> Finish
5. I find the project file (...Adobe Flash Builder 4.6simpleTest) and copy simpleTest.air into a new file (simpleTestAPK - which contains my certificate > andCert.p12)
6. I rename "simpleTest.air" to "simpleTest.zip" and from this .zip I unpack just "simpleTest.swf" and "application.xml"
7. I create a "create.txt" containing as follows:
adt -package -target apk-debug -storetype pkcs12 -keystore andCert.p12
myHope.apk application.xml simpleTest.swf
8. I rename "create.txt" to "create.cmd" and launch it (Shift + RMB -> Open cmd here)
9. "myHope.apk" is created
10. I copy this to Galaxy Tab 10.1 (with drag&drop)
11. I launch "myHope.apk" but all I see is blank, white screen, no colors, no buttons, nothing.
I'm creating an app to deploy for iOS and Android and I'd like to give them slightly different filenames (need to add a space so that name displays on two lines on Android). Is there a way for me to define this in the app.xml without having to change it each time I export?
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a helper class and I want it to be used in both flex and pure actionscript projects. For example:
public static function listenToPositionAndSize(control:DisplayObject):void

if (mxLibrariesSupported)
{
control.addEventListener(mx.events.ResizeEvent.RESIZE, onControlResize);
control.addEventListener(mx.events.MoveEvent.MOVE, onControlMove);
[Code]...
EDIT: One simple reason to do this is: if you check the above example, I would prefer mx.events.MoveEvent.MOVE (if available) instead of flash.events.Event.ENTER_FRAME for performance issues.

View 1 RepliesI am wondering if flex enforce style settings and throws compilation errors if a style that is applid to a component that is not supported by it. Has any one tried it before ?
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash Builder Buritto with the latest "nightly" Flex 4.5 SDK, build 17689. It seems the dropShadowEnabled property is no longer supported with the Hero default skin. I get this compilation error:

Is there any way to disable the shadow without making a custom panel skin?
I've been trying to embed some svg files into an AS3 project using the Embed meta tag. For example:
[Code]...
However when displaying these files as Sprites only some of the gradients are surviving the embeding process. From what I've found simple (2 step) horizontal gradients seem to stand the best chance of being preserved, but sometimes other kinds of gradients are as well. In one case simply rotating an object 90 degrees causes the gradient to vanish when displayed in flash. Does anyone know a rough set of rules to use when creating svg gradient fills so they are preserved when rendered in flash? BTW: I used Inkscape to create the images in question.
Update: Bizarrely the solution to this seems to be setting the opacity of any object in the svg file whose gradient isn't displayed properly to a value below 1. Don't ask me why this works but it does. It does however have the unwanted side effect of the objects edges not being rendered as smoothly.
I have a a structure like this:
e.item.fatturato_ac_s1
e.item.fatturato_ac_s2
e.item.fatturato_ac_s3
e.item.fatturato_ac_s4
[...]
and so on...
In order to compute dynamically the string I wrote:
e.item.(myStr.toString()) where myStr (type string) = "fatturato_ac_s" + Index (so I can have fatturato_ac_s1, fatturato_ac_s2, ...)
I can correctly retrieve the value of e.item.(myStr.toString()) (a numeric value), but if I try to put it in a variable I get the error in the title:
myVariable = e.item.(myStr.toString())
myVariable is a Number.
I also tried:
myVariable = Number(e.item.(myStr.toString()))
But doesn't work... the same if I try String to String....

how to use the HippoHX APIs and Classes to make a close button, fullscreen button and execute a program with arguments. I'm pretty new to as3 (started using it last week) and have absolutely no idea how it works. If you don't know what HippoHX is, you can find out at the official website.I'm asking here because i don't understand their API documentation.
View 2 RepliesI would like to target a specific version of Flash Player, but don't know if I'm using any APIs, for example a movieclip property, not available in that version. Is there any way to know? The compiler doesn't seem to generate errors in this case, and I'd rather not have to resort to runtime checking. Note I am using AS2.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to buid a video player application usin the Youtube API, which is loaded remotely from their servers as described [URL]...reference.html Basically I want to add a playList via XML or flashVars which would be stored in the Model among other data taken from the video feeds of youtube by HTTP request. The issues are:
1.- I don't know where the youtube API would fit in the MVC pattern, because it has two parts, the Loader instance that you can add to the display list and the API Object itself that is more like a controller. My first approach has been to create a controller class which loads it and initiates it. But then I have to provide a reference of the loader to the View. Should I do it using a setter in the view, dispatching an event and then a listener in the view gets this reference from the controller, or including the reference in the model??? I'm a little bit lost here.
2.- On the other side, I don't know how to implement the strategy pattern betwen the view and the controller in this scenario. Should I leave the whole initialization process outside the MVC pattern? It's not that I'm obsesed with design patters, I'm just trying to learn how to use them and put myself this as an exercise: Build a videolist player for youtube so that it's easy to add, let's say Vimeo support later.
I have a flash app which will send/receive a constant stream of data. The flash app should open a connection to the Java server, keep it open, and attempt to reconnect on socket failure. Are there any good APIs that offer this functionality? Smartfox Server is one option, but if I had my way I'd embed an API in my app rather than contort my app to run under Smartfox. Ideally it would offer an API on the flash end, another on the Java end, and efficiently (java nio preferably) handle the network component in between. I would just define handlers on both the client & server.
