I'm trying to use the camera in an Android app using the 1.5 API. I want the camera to flash for every picture. However, when I looked at the API for camera.parameters, thesetFlashMode() method is only supported for 2.0 and higher. Yet my Cliq XT, which runs 1.5, has a flash that I can set in the menu - I take this to mean there is a way to do this for the 1.5 API, though I was unable to find it.

i have an AIR android app which i am running on an android device ( samsung TAB ). i want the app to get laid out in landscape mode when the user starts the app holding the device in landscape ( same goes with portrait ).
but the AIR app always gets started in portrait mode irrespective of the way the device is held.
i tried the following ways use stage.deviceorientation (but when the app starts (after the applicationComplete notification ) the value is UNKNOWN) use stage resize event. (this gets triggered at start itself, a manual resize is not required - the values are based on portrait mode though - the width is 600 and height is 1024 (should have been otherway) )
i get correct values when i try changing the orientation of device, only at the startup i see problem with the required values.
I have an as3 built osmf video player swf that we embed on a standard HTML page. When you touch the image the video automatically goes fullscreen and begins playing. Droid and Flash often break after changing back and forth between landscape and portrait while in fullscreen.(by break I mean freeze, where you can hear the video and use the controls, but everything is just a still frozen image, the redrawing fails).Can you lock the fullscreen orientation in html, javascript, or do you have to try to handle it inside the swf?
View 1 RepliesThere are samples to show how to access front camera of android devices using android sdk.
View 1 RepliesRecently I went thru the code for accessing the camera using flash ActionScript3 and I have tested the code in iMac machine, iPhone and Android.Now based on this, I am developing an application for Android which includes the accessibility of the front camera. Now my Problem is I dont know how to access the front camera? We should use some other code or should we specify which camera should be accessed? First of all, can we access the front camera thru flash?

View 1 RepliesI have a service that uses computer webcam via Flash. Now I'd like to develop an Android optimized version of the service using HTML5 + Flash and then use some HTML5 wrapper to get an app.
I wonder if it's possible to use the same ability of Flash that provides an access to user's phone camera (frontal) on the Android (tablet pcs, smart phones). I know Android supports Flash since 2.2, but I failed to find any information on hardware access.
I've been doing some research about accessing an android camera in flash and I came across cameraUI but from what i understand this works only in AIR and not in flash player. Is it possible to access the camera of an android device in flash player (on a web page rather than on an app)?

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

From a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.
It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)
Usually Adobe Flash applications can access any usb-webcam.I have a USB camera for microscopes which understands TWAIN and DirectShow.Is there a possibility to access the video data from this camera with flash?

View 2 RepliesI am porting my flash games on android. I have ported 3 successfully. But the problem with all of them is they are giving very low frame rate near about 7-8. And I have observed 1 thing that frame rate always varies. Sometimes it goes upto 45 and again in next frame it comes to 3-4 and again goes to 15-16.
I am quite confused. Please let me know if anyone is having any idea about this.
I am loading flash SWFs into an android WebView.I want the SWF to be instantly fullscreen and focused.The class name that handles flash is com.adobe.flashplayer.FlashPaintSurface .
Watching the log, when I fullscreen the flash manually, it calls com.adobe.flashplayer.FlashPaintSurface.toggleFullScreen()The first part of my question is, How can i call that method manually for my flash swf? Note that with a webview with a flash embedded, the only way i seem to be able to fullscreen it properly (to have flash's surfaceview fullscreen instead of the flash being displayed over top of the webview view) is by touching the screen with two fingers until an interface pops up at the top of the screen, and doesnt happen reliably.For focus, inside my webview class I call
@Override
protected boolean drawChild (Canvas canvas, View child, long drawingTime) {
if (child.getClass().getName().equals("com.adobe.flashplayer.FlashPaintSurface")) {
[code]...
This doesnt set the focus as I thought it would. Although i assume, if fullscreened properly, the flashpaintsurface should give itself focus. But if if the first part is not doable, i would wonder at least to not have to give focus to the SWF by clicking on it on startup.
I gone thorough the adobe flash builder video tutorials and did the same thing to create an application for android device, but when i run the application it is showing Sorry dialog box saying that, The application Test1-debug(process air.Test1.debug) has stopped unexpectedly.

I don't why it is not working, if anybody know this please reply me.

View 5 RepliesI need to add some animation to the UI of my application. Something similar to the Talking Tom application that is all the rage these days. I am a complete noob to animation, so had the following questions to zero in on a particular platform before I began with any development.
Out of Flash/Rendered Images/OpenGL which one would be the fastest to implement (assuming that I have a graphics designer to do the drawing)? If I was to go with flash, would I still be able to interact with the application or will it be more of a one-way play-and-stop kind of animation? I have looked over a lot of questions on SO about this issue and have not been able to make up my mind.
There are way for:On USB connect to PC (or other flash drive reader) - hook process and allow access only specified files and folder on android (custom store)?

View 1 RepliesI have a video capture device on a machine. I have written a windows application to capture the video from this device. While capturing, if i try to broadcast using flash it does not connect. If i'm already broadcasting and then try to capture then my windows application does not get the capture pin of the device. So, flash seems to be taking the capture pin. Is there anyway to broadcast using the preview pin on the device so that i can capture using my application. Or is there way where i can split the capture pin and give one to my app and one to the broadcaster

I am currently learning Actionscript 3.0, mainly to start developing mobile games for Android.Device central is really useful to emulate the Flash content running on devices, but I thought there was a way to test directly on the device itself via USB. Am I mistaken here, because I cannot for the life of me find any information on doing this.how to get the USB connection up, but the actual testing/debugging itself seems to be done exclusively in Flash Builder.
I am using Flash CS5, and I want to test my AS3 projects directly on my Nexus S via USB.The only guides I can find detail the publishing of Flash projects to Android, which is a fairly lengthy process. Surely there has to be a quicker way to preview content directly on your phone without having to go through the entire process of creating an APK for it?
