Hi all,I'm aware that the screen resolutions for iPhone and iPod are 960x640 (1.5:1), while the iPad's resolution is 1024x768 (1.33:1).Assuming I'm building an app in landscape mode (built as 1024px wide, then setting the stage to scale down appropriately for smaller screens), it seems there will be more "height," or vertical space on the iPad.If I kept the stage properties as is, I believe that the iPad would produce a letterbox/widescreen effect to account for the extra space. However, I'd like to build a universal app with a conditional statement, basically saying "if it's an iPad, use a different background and certain graphics." Is this possible in Flash? I've looked over the forums and didn't see any specific way to tell if the device is an iPad, or if it's an iPhone/iPod. Any other recommendations from those who have successfully created apps for iOS?Thanks much!

Hi, I need a code to do something like the "iBeer" application on the App Store.(if you don't know what is iBeer, check out on You-Tube to see some videos)Is there a way to do this in AS3 with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 2.6 ?Thank youBrandon

Hello:I am working on an app for Android tablets in Air 2.7. I want to restrict the aspect ratio to portrait, but I want to allow it to be upside and well as "default" for portrait. It seems when I set "aspectRatio" to "portrait" in the .xml file, the orientation is restricted to only the "default" and not "upside down".This was pretty simple on the iPhone, is there a way to allow either orientation for portrait on the Android device?Thanks!

If i had a update page on a App, and i had to be updated like weekly without having to publish it again. could this be done by a xml sheet ?If so how?

Hi guys, I'm using Air 2.7 CPU mode... I've got some code that calls a contact form within a movieclip to the stage on my iPad app... works really nicely and I've also got a button on screen that then removes the contact form from the stage.Unforunately if you're in the middle of typing in a field and press the close form button, the ipad soft keyboard stays on screen and so does the text that's been typed. I'm wondering if I can communicate with the ipad keyboard to make it go down. I'm hoping I can somehow communicate via actionscript with the small button in the right hand corner of the ipad keyboard which makes the keyboard leave the screen.Thanks, Mike

Okay, so the subject is weird but what I want to do is make an eventListener with a CLICK MouseEvent actually fire twice.So what I want to happen is the user taps the screen once but 2 clicks actually fire.I'm sure it must be an easy one but I just can't get my head around it.CheersMike

  I am starting out with Air and coding a simple app. I get the following error:[app:/_main.html][09:52:15] TypeError: Result of expression 'rdata.responseData' [null] is not an object.TypeError: Result of expression 'rdata.responseData' [null] is not an object.I simply cannot figure out what I have done wrong.

This post is a sidetrack from this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/848761?tstart=0The method used in that post works perfect on both Android and iOS for selecting and uploading files.... BUT is there a way to get the filename of the file from the mediaPromise cross-plattform?If you let the user select an image it's not very nice to have the image be called "temp.jpg" after uploading - you want the user to know which image he/her have uploaded Any ideas? The "mediaPromise.file.relativePath()" works on Android but not on iOS. Not "mediaPromise["file"].url/relativePath/nativePath" either.Thank you

I developed my application for iOS with Flash CS5.5.In the app store, more languages are listed than my application is localized for. Why?

Hi all,I'll cut to the chase, I'm getting the attached errors when publishing my first air to ios iphone app.I've followed everything certificate, profile and app ID related to a T. I'm using a trail version of flash cs5.5. I've updated the AIR2.6 folder included in the trial with 2.7. Updated Java to the latest version today. Running OSX 10.6.8 on an Intel mac pro.Looks to me something software related, but that doesn't make sense as I only downloaded the trial yesterday so presumed (perhaps foolishly) that all bugs relating to this issue would be ironed out in this trial.Anyway, if someone could suggest anything I could try I'd appreciate it. I've exhausted all my ideas for getting this working.ThanksKevin

So i have a facebook api for example, how do i add that to actionscript for a IOS app?? please help..Also whats better for example twitter; a RSS feed (i think thats what its called) or a API?? Thank for the help in advance

My AIR application crashes everytime I navigate to http://www.twitter.com in the HTML control (mx.controls.HTML). The app usually crashes after the page has fully loaded.Till now I've encountered this problem only with the twitter website. I have confirmed that it's a bug in the AIR/webkit runtime rather than my own code by opening the twitter page in a simple air app that contains just an html control. Have also confirmed the crash in WebKut (http://toki-woki.net/p/WebKut/) which is also an air app.I hope that this bug is known and that a fix will be available soon.Here are my system specs:AIR runtime version: 2.7.0.19530Webkit dll version: 6531.9.0.0Flex SDK: 3.5AIR SDK: 2.6Windows XP Professional SP2Intel Core2Duo 4400 @ 2.00 GHz2GB RAM

How much are developers missing when they develop with air compared to say developing natively with android SDK or iOS SDK???Is it a better use of time learning native code rather than learning and figure out work arounds with flex/flash/air for mobile development?

Hi, currently there are a number of tablet devices that, due to Google policy, can't access the Android Market. Most of these devices are low-quality ones and out of interest for many developers, however some of them do come woth interesting specs, like the Brazilian STI's "myPad" (STI is a subsidiary of Japanese Toshiba) that brings Tegra 2 architecture and Android Froyo system.Since these devices can't open the Android Market, even if an AIR app is distributed by other means, the tablet won't be able to run it - it just can't access the Android AIR runtime apk to install it. I know that we can provide alternate download links to for the AIR runtime, but currently the only alternate link available is the Amazon appstore, and that may not be an option.Since some of these devices are very likely to be used for major distribution by governments (I'm taking Brazilian educational plans as an example), it would be interesting to be able to deliver content for these "non-market" tablets.

We are facing performance issues when we try access files from the shared drives containing a large number of files (size in TB). Any ideas to improve the performance in such cases?

Is there any difference in an android .apk file developed with flash compared to one developed with flex?I just made a test application and the textinput reaction time is way too slow. I used Flash to build it.

Is there any way to let the user select multiple images from the device media gallery?The CameraRoll only selects one image. And the FileRefernceList doesn't show thumbnails (so you have no idea what you are selecting).Is there a way, or maybe some sort of workaround, for this? Is there a way to maybe "read" the users gallery on the SD-card and output your own gallery that the user can select from? I'm developing towards both Android and iOS so cross-plattform is a must.Thank you guys

I can clearly remember that I was able to set the stage quality to "low" developing with IDE in the past. And that greatly helped in boosting performance... However, it seems with Flash Builder your only choices are "high" or "best", "medium" and "low" simply doesn't work. Anyone had the same issue or just me?

Hi, I need a code to allow my application to link users to my developer channel on the App Store... just tapping a button.What's the procedure in Flash CS 5.5 with AIR 2,6 ????Please help me!Thank youBrandon

I've got an app that uses the usual Sound and SoundChannel classes to load an mp3 and play it. It works fine in the mobile emulator and it works fine on Android devices. But I cannot get any sound on an iPad.I can confirm that the mp3 loaded, by listening for that event. I tried a local mp3 and loading one from the web, with no difference.What am I overlooking?Many thanks -

Hi all,I had downloaded the Application Loader already, when I tried to upload my ipa file, it gives me this error application failed codesign verification. the signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple Submission CertificateCan anyone solve this problem?Bruce

Hi everybody,I've been working on an iPad app in Flash and all went well but at the end I discovered a problem. I'm making a childrens book with a page on each frame. And a can move between the pages. On the pages things are happening. Things can be touched and make sounds or can be moved.The problem is that the app seems to be instable. After a while it crashes and I have to start over again.I did a lot of optimizing as told at different blogs made sure all events are closed when I don't need them anymore but it still crashes. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to build something like this. Forexample is it better to load external SWF's instead of moving between frames...??I'm working in Flash 5.5 with the AIR 2.7 SDK. And am testig on a iPad 3G.Hope for some good tips or suggestions,Thanks in advance.Joost

http://english.sandrostudio.com/a-strange-problem-with-adobe-air.htmlAbove is the error I get: This application requires a version of Adobe AIr which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair or contact the application author for an updated version"I could run Adobe AIR previously without any problem. i checked for a solution online, in this forum, It seems it's a problem not so uncommon. I receive the same error when trying to uninstall Adobe AIR (?!). So I am basically stuck. Any help here? Any advice? Is there an upcoming new version of the installer?I need Adobe air for many important applications I use.Thanks!

Hi,I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 on Windows.I am looking to convert an existing set of published SWF files and MP3 files and wrap them up in a small Air app to work on mobile devices.  I took those SWFs and MP3s and created a new Air app project for Android and published it and it seems to work just fine.  For your reference, I just had the Air app start up the first SWF by using Loader and URLRequest to load in the SWF that was bundled into the app.  The code I used to do this is:var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();addChild(swfLoader);var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("0001/myswf.swf");swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);swfLoader.load(bgURL);function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void {   trace("file loaded");} Next, I tried the exact same thing for an iPad: I created a new Air app for iOS, loaded my certificate and mobile provisioning profile, copied the same 8 lines of code as above and included my SWFs and M

Hello,I am trying to install Adobe AIR in an enterprise environment on numerous clients.Unfortunately the installation procedure always tries to open an internet connection during installation.As all users in our company require proxy authentification for internet access, the authentification dialog of our proxy always shows up when installing Adobe AIR. So the installation can not be processed without any user interaction.We would like to install Adobe AIR silently in the backround. So we are looking for an opportunity to disable the internet access during AIR installation.Thanks for any help,Alex
