Air

I'm saving files in AMF format in the application storage directory (app-storage:/). This works great, but the fles get deleted when the application is updated.I'm dsitributing the app internally in the company via our intranet (ad-hoc). The users do not delete the app, they simply redownload the new version.Where do I have to save the files in the iOS device so that they are not deleted when the application is updated?Thanks

so, i wonder what has happend to AIR now.After not developing AIR for android for a while, i opened up Flash Pro CS6, wrote some awesome code and compiled and checked Install on device and launch after installation...instead im getting a warning that Shared runtime is not supported... bla bla blaUsing air 3.8...When disconnection device from computer, flash complains about no device is connected, when connecting device it starts to complain runtimes.Can not even find my application on the device...What has happend to AIR, stuff worked so well just few months ago 😕😕heres my spec:Nexus 4 Android 4.3AIR runtime, none anymore, uninstalled  but made no differenceUsing mac 10.8.3AIR sdk 3.8 (not beta)USB cable Flash Pro CS6 (no updates available so i got the latest iguess)Also tested to create new clean AIR for Android project but same issue.

Mp4 video files are working when opened from local filesystem but now working when opened from the webHere is example:var video:Video = new Video();addChild(video);var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect(null);var customClient:Object = new Object();customClient.onMetaData = ns_onMetaData;var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);ns.client = customClient;ns.play("http://www.voyda.eu/projects/not_working2.mp4"); // here is actual a file so you can test itns.play(url);video.attachNetStream(ns);Using above code will result in not playing the video file. Interesting think is that the same video file is played well when opening from local filesystem. Just download the file, change ns.play param to "not_working2.mp4" ns.play("not_working2.mp4");and see if it's working.

Hi,Have anyone seen an extension supporting the new Google Cloud Messaging system for Android? All those I have found are still based on the old C2DM system that doesn't allow new projects.Thanks in advance!/Karl

Hi All,On a non-retina iPhone the status bar is normally 20 pixels high, but when I enable my phone as a wireless hotspot its height doubles to 40 pixels so that it can display text saying "personal hotspot". When it does this my AIR app gets pushed down and the bottom 20 rows of pixels are cut off, i.e. aren't displayed. This, simply stated, looks terrible.Is this a known bug? Is there some way I can avoid this?Douglas

I'm working on an app and I'm pretty stuck as the only code that comes up is below. I am trapping the escape key to stop a process. There are no Alerts in the message chain and I'm not quite sure where to go with the information I'm given, which occurs when I press the escape key.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.          at mx.accessibility::AlertAccImpl/eventHandler()          at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()          at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()          at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent()          at mx.controls.alertClasses::AlertForm/removeAlert()          at mx.controls.alertClasses::AlertForm/keyDownHandler()The f

Is there a way to determine if a file is currently open in another application?Possibly by seeing if it is writable or by some other means?I do not want to write to it if it is available to write. I just thought maybe that was a way to detrmine if it is in use.The reason I want to do this:I run a timer in an AIR app and if the size of a file opened in another app has changed since the time the file was opened ( from within AIR ) then it alerts the user.However, if the User does not change the File, the timer nevers knows when to turn off.If there is no way way to determine if a file is open, then I would take other suggestions for this method.

Hi,Does anybody have an idea why the Google+ "Invite your friends!" button is not working in a StageWebView window?Button:- https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/interactive#button_designIt's working within the Flash IDE but not on mobile.I'm using Air 3.6 and Flash CS6.Thanks for any input!

Essentially the issue is long running RemoteObject requests timeout on Windows and setting requestTimeOut on the remoteObject or setting URLRequestDefaults.idleTimeOut to a high number are ignored and the request times out after 30 seconds.There's been quite a number of posts on this subject and at times the issue was reportedly addressed or worked around, but I'm still seeing this issue on Flex SDK 4.1 (AIR 2.02).  The request times out no matter what I do (on Windows). A brute force approach would be to break down what I'm trying to retrieve into smaller chunks and assemble the results on the client, but that doesn't give complete confidence that some request may exceed 30 seconds when the servers are under load.Any advice would be appreciated.Here are a few posts/JIRA entries that reference the issue:https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15403https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-22016http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/2009/10/introducing_urlrequest_idletimeout.htmlThanks,Jeff

I'm trying to use the ChartBoost ANE which can be downloaded here https://github.com/freshplanet/ANE-ChartboostWhen I do an Ad-hoc release build It keeps crashing and giving me the error below when packaging for iOS. But if I do a debug build that's a "fast" or "standard" build it compiles fine, and I can even see the ads.Why would it crash when doing a release build? Does this ANE need an update?I'm using FB 4.7 and AIR 3.8. Specifically, Apache Flex 4.10 Air 3.8If I remove this 1 line of the Chartboost ANE code "AirChartboost.getInstance().showInterstitial();", the release build compiles fine and I can put it on the test iOS device."Error occurred while packaging the application:AOT Compilation has failed while optimizing function public::AdsHelper.showFullscreenAdException in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat java.util.TreeMap.getEntry(TreeMap.java:324)at java.util.TreeMap.containsKey(TreeMap.java:209)at adobe.abc.GlobalOptimizer.sccp_eval(GlobalOptimizer.java:6150)at a

Hello,I wrote a small app for Android and I'm trying to show a movie from the net. Everything works on the AIR simulator, the problem starts when I try to run it on my device. I have a Galaxy S4 with Android 4.2.2 and I'm using AIR 3.8 (captive with the app). Now, if I try to load another movie it works fine, so my code seems to be OK.Further, I sent my APK with a link to the original movie (that my device doesn't show) to someone else and on his device that movie worked.Even further, if I just download that movie to my device and load it to one of the video player apps it is shown just fine.Here is a direct link to the youtube movie I'm trying to show, It's a standard H.264 MP4 file from youtube:http://r2---sn-xguxaxjvh-304e.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?mv=u&ip=85.113.38.227&key=yt1&fexp=906398%2C916626%2C929117%2C929121%2C929906%2C929907%2C929922%2C929127%2C929129%2C929131%2C929930%2C936403%2C925726%2C925720%2C925722%2C925718%2C929917%2C929933%2C920302%2C906842%2C932306%2C

So I am running into a problem that a lot seem to be having. I need to add and remove swfs several times within my application. My swfs DO contain as3. Each time I try to reload a swf I get this error: Reloading a SWF is not supported on this operating system.I see that this is currently a restriction. My questions is: Is this a limitation that will likely be resolved? Will Air 3.9 have this solved? Are there any work arounds that don't involve saving swf data to a var or renaming files?I am using air beta 3.8thanks,Jason Etherington

We're about to use a build server for taking some work out of our hands (testing, building etc). The build server is running on Linux and therefore we would like to know if we can build the AS3 (AIR) sourcecode on the Linux environment. We usely create apps for Android and iOS. Can anyone give some more information on this? Is it true that the ADT doesn't run on Linux?

Adobe, I love you, but com'on we're waiting for AS worker support on Android! could you please at least say when will it be supported? maybe Air 3.8?

Hi,Is there an equivalent to scrollV for StageText textfields?I'm adding a long text to a small input textfield and would like to scroll to the end of the text so the last word is shown to the user.I'm using Air 3.6.Thank you

I am trying to write a simple ANE for BlackBerry that will read a phone number, and return that to the actionscript layer. To read the phone number natively, I need C++ and Qt. I can't even figure out whether this is actually supported for an ANE. I cannot find any examples for BlackBerry that use C++ in the native portion of the ANE. I only find the suggestion that function name mangling in C++ may prevent an ANE from working and generate the error 3500 "The extension context does not have a method". I don't see why this should be an issue because we define a string -> function map. Can anyone tell me whether it is currently possible to use C++ and Qt in an air native extension?

Where can I find detailed release notes for new Air SDK releases?The "release notes" PDF doesn't seem to change between beta releases - it just lists the big new features in 3.8, like 4096x4096 texture support, etc. - but no list of bug fixes specific to the latest release.Is there a complete list of fixes and changes for each release somewhere?Thanks.

I am trying to build a very simple ANE for BlackBerry that will read the phone number. To do this natively on BlackBerry, it is necessary to use the BlackBerry and Qt libraries. How do you include these libraries in the ANE? Or is this even necessary?  In the documentation:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/index.htmlthe instructions for doing this are substantially different for iOShttp://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/WSf268776665d7970d-2e74ffb4130044f3619-7fff.html#WS2f73111e7a180bd05759774f13a75534104-8000and Androidhttp://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/WSf268776665d7970d-2482335412ffea65006-8000.html#WSf268776665d7970d-6be13ace1308aaebeca-7fffThere is no obvious way to use these approaches for BlackBerry. How do you include the external libraries for BlackBerry?

Adobe AIR applications can be distributed in a number of ways, including but not limited to:Desktop:Packaged as an.air file or as native installer.When packaged in the .air file format, the same AIR application (.air flie) will run across both Windows and Mac OS.Requires the AIR runtime to be installed on the device. The AIR runtime can be obtained by one of the following: Downloading from the Adobe website as a separate install.Installed along with an AIR application as part of a seamless web install.Preinstalled on the device.Android:Packaged as an .apk file and deployed to the Android Market or Amazon Appstore.Requires the AIR runtime to be installed on the device. The AIR runtime can be obtained as follows: Downloading from the Android Market.Preinstalled on the device.BlackBerry Tablet OS:Packaged as a .bar file and deployed to the BlackBerry App World.The AIR runtime is pre-installed and integrated into the BlackBerry Tablet OS; therefore no download the AIR runtime is required.T

I'm using StageWebView to load SWF files or HTML pages with SWF content on my Adobe Air 3.8 app for Android and I have a problem when I set the X offset in the viewport. The SWF gets cut off on the right side.See this screenshot:The viewport covers the area enclosed in the  rectangle with a grey border but a portion of the rhino gets cut off. If I set the X offset to 0, the webview instance shows the SWF properly but the higher the X offset the wider the portion that gets cut off.I need to add this happens only on Android running ICS (4.0.4). On devices running Jelly Bean, such problem does not happen.One more thing: the black "patch" that covers the rhino part is the background color of the swf. I tested this problem with different SWFs and the strip that shows up on the right side is always of the same color as the remote SWF's background.I need to show SWF content centered on the stage and this offset bug is a killer.Does anybody know of a fix for a problem like this?My code:fu

Hi All,On my iPhone I'm seeing (actually, hearing) a problem where the beginnings of sounds aren't being played. These are MP3 files that the app has downloaded and saved on the device. They are being loaded and played like this:        var file:File = new File(url);        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file.url);        var context:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(500, true);        var sound:Sound = new Sound(request, context);        sound.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onSoundLoadError);        sound.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onSoundLoadError);        var transform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(soundVolumeAdjustmentFactor);        _soundChannel =
