Hello,I'm using Context3D.drawToBitmapData(bitmapData), unfortunately this has no offset (x,y).Consequence, it is quite slow even if I draw a small simple object in a corner because it uses the whole stage3D size. And if I need to crop the bitmapData afterwards (which I dont need all the time fortunately), it's even slower because, again, I start from a much larger bitmapData than what I need.If I use a smaller bitmapData in parameters it is indeed VERY faster. Problem is it crops the stage from (0,0), and very often I want to draw to bitmap something that is not in the top left corner. I did some test when objects are in top-left, with a smaller bitmapData, HUGE gain!Of course I can't really move the object/camera because the perspective would be different. If I could set the PoV anywhere I guess I could move the object to top-left, move the PoV to a strange place and get the same thing as if it were bottom-right but I wasn't really able to do that. Also that would be a workaround at

Hi,Since iOS does not allow AS code in any externally loaded assets, is there any programable way or existing utility that would be able to strip AS code from existing SWF files in order to make them iOS safe? We have lots of SWF assets that contain some minor AS code that is needed for their use on the web, but in order to repurpose these assets for mobile use they have to be edited. It would be a HUGE time saver if there was tool to batch strip this out.thx

I have a question: On what operating systems(android,ios) can be played and published stream with codecs H264 and PCMU with rtmp and rtmfp protocols(live streaming)?          As far as I found out with the codecs can be played on Android(rtmp protocol). On IOS video is not displayed, as I understood AIR environment cuting it.Another question regarding video texture. Will be included in future releases support for live playing h264+PCMU on IOS?

I want to use FlashBuilder 4.5.1 to build a flex mobile photo organizer project that lets me select multiple photos from the iPhone Camera Roll.I've seen the flash.media.CameraRoll class, but it only seems to provide CameraRoll.browseForImage() that opens a dialog to pick ONE photo.Has anyone built an app that lets users select multiple photos or select all from the CameraRoll? Can you access the embedded thumbnail DB or do you have to import all the photos into the ApplicationStorageDirectory first? Am I better off writing a native iOS application?Does flex mobile allow something like this:// is this a security violation? var cameraRoll:File = new File('/var/mobile/Media/DCIM'); var photos:Array = []; var folders:Array = cameraRoll.getDirectoryListing(); for (var i:int=0 ; i<folders.length; i++) {     var files:Array = folders.getDirectoryListing();     for (var j:int=0 ; j<files.length; j++) {         var photo:F

I've just been getting reports that the Context 3D error that effected AIR apps on Android Lollipop 5.0.0 has returned in Android 5.0.1As that update is currently only available for the Nexus 7, 9, and 10, I have been unable to confirm. Can anyone here confirm this is happening? If so, is there a fix available?

Whenever I try to download Adobe Air, it redirects me to adobe.com. I have tried this in other browsers and computers and at different locations. I have also tried it on a brand new computer.I am running OS X v10.10.3, although I have also tried it on a Windows 7 computer with the same result.

Hi,My app is a timer-app. It works fine for 3 minutes in the background. If I set it to 5 minutes, it only works (in the background) for 3 minutes, then it stops. (it continues when I open the app again).I believe there was a 10 minute "window" before, but now it's only 3? Is it possible to use beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler or something like that to ask for more time?

Hi,Game controllers made for iOS (MFI) is starting to grow quite popular and I want to support them in my coming iOS games.I haven't found any MFI controller ANE's out there. Any suggestions?Thanks /Karl

Hello! I'm trying to set the -screensize to test my app. But somehow the height won't go higher than 1047I tried all this options:::set SCREEN_SIZE=iPhoneRetina::set SCREEN_SIZE=iPhone5Retina::set SCREEN_SIZE=640x1096:750x1334set SCREEN_SIZE=640x1096:1242x2208::set SCREEN_SIZE=iPadThe width is usually fine but the height can't be heigher than 1047.. Actually I noticed that if try to set the width too large, it will be limited, and the dimensions will look similar to my monitor width and height (although a little bit of the adl screen bleeds the monitor). Is the adl screen somehow limited by my monitor width and height? Can I change it so it follows the size i set?I really really need to test it on the exact same dimensions i'm setting on -screensize (it doesn't matter if I won't be able to see a portion of it).

I can’t get good launch-image performance on iPhone 6 + , iOS 8.3,  using AIR v 17 and publishing with Flash Pro CS5.5I’ve tested what I understand to be correct launch-image dimensions and names: 1242 x 2208 and  ‘Default-414w-736h@3x.png’I’ve also tested:‘Default-414w-736h@3x~iphone.png’‘Default-736h@3x.png’I create a 1080 x 1920 stage, add the launch image and get:Letter-boxing is supplied by iPhone! I've drawn test lines on my stage, which has been shortened lengthwise courtesy of iOS 8.3I've read that people were having problems like this many months ago, but that they've been resolved in the lastest AIR releases. So it must be me. What am I doing wrong?And, as a follow up question, is it possible to add launch-image info to the application descriptor .xml that will be picked up in the app's info.plist?

Hey all,Going through iOS 8 compatibility checks with our Adobe AIR app (tested with AIR 13 and AIR 14), I'm noticing changes to file storage.In short, my code has always been as follows for simply storing a player profile file (matching iOS documentation for as fas as I know: File System Programming Guide: File System Basics). And this has worked well to prevent purges when the device is low on storage space as well as keeping the data there when updating the app.This code only seems to work for iOS 4 to iOS 7: var storagePath:File = new File(File.applicationDirectory.nativePath + "/\.\./Documents"); try {      var targetFile:File = storagePath.resolvePath("profile.bin");      var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();      stream.open(targetFile, FileMode.WRITE);      stream.writeBytes(<byteArray here>, 0, 0);      stream.close(); } catch (err:Error) {      &l

Does Flex/Flash Builder development application build have an advantage over others? The little bit I have picked up seems to show that it can create a Android IOS and Blackberry app all in one project (of course build specific have to be dealt with). I have not seen any up to date ways of learning Flex via Flash Builder 4.7. Everything I am finding seems to be 3 to 4 years old. I am still working with the material but can tell it is somewhat outdated. Understanding what it does it seems like a good platform to learn but I wonder why the lack of attention to the learning base?

Hello,We've recently upgraded an application to AIR 16 and are having trouble getting under the 80mb size limit for iOS apps now. I've searched on the forums for this issue, but am unclear on specifics on how to proceed.The exact error message is:"Invalid Executable Size. The size of your app's executable file [filename] is 124010496 bytes, which exceeds the maximum allowed size of 80MB."We are using ant do do the build on a Windows machine. The build xml is fairly large, but here are some relevant sections:<target name="ios-test">     <antcall target="compile-ios-application">         <param name="argProject" value="[project]" />         <param name="argApplicationName" value="[application]" />         <param name="argRelease" value="test" />         <param name="argKeystore" value="certificates/id.p

By using the File class I was able to create, delete, and move files before IOS 8 and now I can't. When I trying to do anything outside the applicationStorageDirectory I get an error File Access denied. Is adobe going to fix this, or do I have to fix this manually,  or is this now impossible?

Hi, does anyone experiences that AIR 17 is unable to build an installable Ad hoc IPA file for iPad 1? All other newer iPads work.

I am developing an AIR desktop application for a Windows 7 touch screen kiosk that needs to access and allow users to search a set of data, which could initially contain anywhere between 17,000 and 100,000 records. Each record could have perhaps 15 to 20 fields, and all the data will be stored locally on the computer, and updated with new data by memory stick, perhaps once per month. The kiosk will not be connected to the internet.Can anyone offer any advice as to the viability / limitations of using XML, SQLLite, or some other means of data storage, to access this information from an AIR application?

I am using the File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("myData.db") to reference the location of my SQLite DB file. When I browse to the folder in question I can see that the file is in fact there, however and traces I implement of dbfile.exists is false. It only ever returns true should I use my defaultdb and CopyTo the file of the myData. What seems to be the issue here?
