Is it possible to write text using Adobe AIR so that I can save it as an actionscript class file?
I want to generate my own classes using air, I just have not found anything that explains how I can save say a text file as a .as file.
Well, the title said everything, I saw some very nice effects using After Effects, but I want to apply those to a Flash game.. will it be useful?, or After Effects only works on cut scenes, animations, etc?
View 1 RepliesI am working on a game in flex, and I am trying to figure out how to create menus in the game. I am was thinking it would be easy just to add and remove a child for the menu, but then it would be a pain to make interactive.I am trying to do both a pop up menu and an always on screen menu, like a bottom menu bar, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I am completely new to flash and flex and don't really know where to start past making the actual game.
View 2 RepliesI'm just starting out with my first Adobe Air project (I'm a pure AS3 developer by trade).I'm planning to build an image editor which supports layers. I'm wondering what the best way would be to store an entire project including layer data (images) to a users hard disk.I'm wondering if there is any pros/cons in creating a custom file format for my application. The idea is I will be able to store an entire project in a single file. This will be done by writing meta data to the file's header such as the image dimensions, layer names, layer data offsets etc...I'm trying to be mindful of the issues which might arrise such as maintaining backwards compatibility after adding new project features/meta etc.I guess I'm asking whether people have any advice or experience with creating a custom file format for Adobe Air and if there are any other 'out-of-the-box' solutions to saving 'complex' data to a users hard disk.
View 2 RepliesI have some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?

View 1 RepliesGood day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.

View 1 RepliesIs the only way to create new files with AS3/Flash CS3 is with the use of Adobe AIR? or can you do this without using that?I'm trying to do this with a standalone desktop application, NOT a web-based application.I've spent most of the day searching google, and most of the results I've found were from 2006 and earlier and people used the fscommand function, but this seems to be obsolete now. There was one result I saw that mentioned that you would have to have Adobe AIR installed to do file manipulations and save/append to files, but I'm just wondering if there are other options now.
View 6 RepliesLet's discuss about sell iPhone apps in an independent store, it is not crazy at all. If Apple denies us the right to choose the platform to develop apps, we can choose where to sell those apps. We cannot develop in Windows. Now Adobe gave us a solution. Now Apple doesn't allow to develop in Flash. Lets get together on this. All of we (a big WE) owe Adobe our support. Also MAC users do.
View 1 RepliesI've been looking for some examples on creating a custom statusbar for an AIR application, but haven't found anything really useful. That was until I started looking around in the Tour de Flex AIR app for an example, and it was right there (part of the app itself). Would anyone have some suggestions on replicating this statusbar. The trouble I'm having is that I cannot seem to get the value of a dynamic variable to display. I'm attempting to display the current user.

View 7 RepliesI am writing a basic Air app where one of the features is the ability to stream voicemail off of a local PBX.The voicemails are saved in WAV format and due to outside factors this cannot be changed. According to the Air docs there is no support for the audio tag because the flash player is built in, however, the flash player doesn't support wav files.
Was this just a large oversight on Adobe's part or am I missing something obvious here?

View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a way to collect the file dependencies from Flex ActionScript and MXML files. I was hoping that mxmlc could spit them out (like gcc's -M option), but its option list doesn't seem to have anything relevant. I could write a parser, but would prefer not to reinvent the wheel if it has already been done, particularly given the two very different languages involved. In particular, star imports and in-package implicit imports could be troublesome.

View 1 RepliesI want to build an air app that takes input (for example a list of filenames to be generated) from the user and generates sound files with desired naming. The sound files should be an "empty/silence" sound (wav, aif or mp3). Is it possible the generate such a file? If not, can I use an existing sound and embed it into the app and have that as a source when generating the files? The purpose of this is to get a structure of files ready in the project that will be replaced by our Sound Director. This way, we can trigger all sounds before they are created.
