I was looking this new game ([URL]) that uses the iPhone as a control pad for a flash game in your computer browser. I tried to monitor the HTTP activity of the browser but it doesn't seem to be using the HTTP protocol. Do you know how does this works? It's sockets programming? Can the flash movie become a socket server?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a solution to provide streaming video to a variety of clients. I have iPhone clients as well as Flash-based clients. I'd like to not have to provide two separate mechanisms for delivering streaming content. Apple has decreed that HTTP Live Streaming is the way to provide streaming video to the iPhone (though does carve out an exception for small progressive downloads).Are there examples of Flash implementations consuming HTTP Live Streaming content? What challenges might be faced if I were to try and implement such a player? Are there other technologies I should consider?
View 1 RepliesHow flash communicates to the browser window it is in? For example, whenever anything changes in HTML an event is generated. When an element is clicked, an onclick event is dispatched for that element. Do flash commands, such as ActionScript's getURL() method generate events that are registered by the browser window and the DOM? If not, is there any native communication between the browser and a flash movie?
View 5 Repliesdoing a project where the deviceorientation-data from smartphones get transfered to a socketserver, and from there to a flash-application.Now creating a http-server with nodejs wasn't too hard, and connecting from a smartphone via browser and transfering the data with socket.io worked fine.The problem comes with flash, i couldn't manage to connect my flash application to the http-server running socket.io. I figured out when i run a node tcp-server connecting from flash is no problem, but i have no more session management and i can't connect from the browser anymore.
View 1 RepliesTo clarify when I ask about browser to browser communication I mean without a server in between forwarding message. I would like to implement something like this for a game. If p2p in websockets isn't possible are there similar alternatives?
View 1 RepliesMy client has a website that plays YouTube videos. Once a video is finished playing, it will automatically play the next one. This is done by using the YouTube API and swfobject.After some research, I was told that Safari on iPhone does not support flash. This make the current swfobject code not working on the iPhone browser.As workaround, when the user clicked on an embedded player, iPhone will launch the YouTube app.
View 2 RepliesI'm making an application with SL/flash charts and am wondering if there is a way to test if the browser it's being pushed to supports silverlight or not (ipad/iphone). And if it doesn't, then I can use some kind of AJAX chart in its place.If this is possible to interchange platforms by testing against the host, how would I do this?
View 3 RepliesThe old way to allow audio to be played/streamed in the browser was a flash button, such as that seen on [URL]. What's the new iPhone-friendly way to give the ability to click on a simple button to listen to an audio file in the browser? If the answer is HTML5, is the such a button built and available? I don't need an MP3 player with steaming and such, only a button.

The real files are much more complicated than this but this way its easier communicate my requirements.
I need an .swf file in one browser to tell another .swf file to start at a particular frame when it loads. Once the index.html loads the index.swf file, 5 buttons will appear. Each of those buttons need code on them that loads the gallery.html in the same window and initiates the gallery.swf file at a particular frame, which will be relevant to the button clicked.

now if i just link a website to a button in flash, it will go to the browser window and in order for the user to get back to my app, they have to close the browser down and start up my app all over again, so to avoid that, i need a AS 3 code that i can use to link a button to a youtube video, and when they press the button then the browser will appear within the app, and then there could be a "exit" button for the browser, so that the user still remains inside the app all the time. Because im having many links in my app.

I'm interested in developing for the iPad and iPhone, but I'd prefer not to learn Apple's whole development stack (and good golly, I sure don't want to go back to manual memory management). Oh, sure, I could learn it, but I don't have that level of commitment to the environment at this point. I've got professional experience with Flex already, so I'm intrigued by Adobe's move to make Flash/Flex compile to the iPhone and iPad. My question is: how promising of a development path will Adobe's Slider be? Are we likely to see Slider publicly available in a reasonable timeframe (Adobe: "An early mobile branch of the Flex framework is expected to be available in 2010")? Are we likely to see reasonable performance? Are there development hurdles that haven't become clear yet? Heck, is it all just vaporware? There's pretty limited information available so far, as far as I've seen, but I'm interested in people's predictions, even if they're speculative.
View 6 RepliesI am looking to develop basic client server data application to add value to a website.
The website is .net based and opening an api such as asmx web service, json or xml would be simple.
Can anyone tell me what are the limitations - technically, what is possible with flash and also what Apple consider to be good practice.
Does anyone have any Actionscript code examples?
The client-side application is a Flex application and communicate with server-side java application using blazeds.As you know,most browsers don't cache SWFs loaded over https,but i want load the swfs through http so that the client brower can cache them and communicate with the server-side over https ?
View 2 RepliesI'm interested in building a thick client application for my existing web services that will run on the IPhone. Flash finally seems to be an option, so I thought about using Flex for client side development.
However, since flash apps are not natively supported by the IPhone, but only through a wrapper, I was wondering if these apps can persist any data. Data entered by the user should eventually be transmitted to the web service, but until then I want it to persist even if the Iphone should run out of power.
Is this possible? Or does the Iphone flash wrapper make it impossible to access the hard disk?

View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if the flash packager for iPhone allows you to somehow save data in some kind of database maybe using Core Data or any other form? If it just allows you to export some kind of actionscript based game but doesn't allow for saving data that'd be kinda weak I'd assume so they must have a way (?).

View 2 RepliesIs there any equivalent to a Flash projector for iPhone? Flash projectors basically seem to package script and Flash libraries into one executable file that can be run on a PC. I'm wondering if anyone has made a similar thing for iPhone where I can take my existing code and package it with the necessary iPhone stuff to make a PC executable. Of course hardware-specific things would not be available like accelerometer/phone/gps, etc. but I don't need any of those. If not, is there anyone currently attempting this?

View 1 RepliesI need to port an existing game written for the iPhone to Flash. The iPhone game is mainly written in pure C rather than Objective C.
I'm wondering if there are any good tools for converting the C code to Actionscript directly, or in general if anyone has some advice on how to do this porting in an efficient way given its C based source code?
Since the game will keep getting updated with bugfixes etc, a method allowing rapid conversion of the updated game code to Flash so that only one code base would need to be maintained would be optimal.
Why setloopback needs to be set to true for microphone activity to be detected. The problem is the echo feedback when using a macbook with a built in mic. Right now I'm experimenting with toggling gain, depending on activity to simulate echo reduction. Not optimal though.

Get all RTMP:// connections to a Flash Media server?
Since my application contains SWC files which were compiled by another developer, I cannot directly access the ActionScript which creates the URL requests and RTMP connections.
