Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no actionA hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no actionA hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no actionAll three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.How can

What's the best way to play video in an iOS app? I'm woking on an iPad app and need to play video in the app... I thought there were some issues with this - so what's the recommended method?

Hi there,I have two questions for you.1) I have read (and experienced directly) the problem that Air Android apps have no chance to show a splash screen to the user when the app is loading.This is a bad thing because the user has no feedback that something is happening and if the app is big he only see a black screen for some time.What then if I split my application in two swf like the web based ones?I mean to have a small preloader.swf (that is my main android app) that shows a splash screen to the user while it loads a application.swf (that is the biggest part of the app)What exactly happens at runtime?I ask because I've read somewhere that the starting latency depends not only by the loading time of the entire apk but also the air runtime tooks some time in instantiating the swf: so if I split it in two maybe it goes faster because it has to instantiate a smaller swf (then it tooks some time to instantiate the other swf but I don't care because the smaller swf showed to the user the

I am trying to use AIR to package an app for the older iOS hardware  that AIR 2.6 doesn't support. However, I seem to be at a bad place in the product lifecycle and I can't figure out how to get anything onto my device.The original pipeline for AIR->iOS was to compile a  swf using Flex 4.0.1/AIR 2.0.2 and then use pfi (Packager for iPhone) to  make the app. But Adobe has taken down  the PFI page on Labs, and the archived version of AIR 2.0.2 does not  include pfi. So it looks like the command-line adt from AIR 2.6 is my only option. But I can't get it to make a package that my second-gen iTouch understands.What I am doing is using mxmlc to compile a swf for Flex 4.1 (which is pointed at AIR 2.0.2) and Flash Player 10. Then I give it to adt with an app descriptor that  specifies 2.0 as the AIR namespace. This produces an ipa  without any errors, but my iPod rejects the app with the same message it  uses when I try to give it a 2.6 app : "This a

Hello every one,After the release of AIR 2.7 I want to get started with iOS development using Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5It is possible to create new Flex Mobile Project and using Andriod template,then continu the project developent as Flex 4.5 project,then change what is ever  application xml file then compile it for iOS devices (command line tools or any thing)Please if this the right scenario, let me know, really I want to get start developing for iOS NOW.Thank you every one.

Hello all! Some problem: how I can start develop AIR applications for version 2.7? I download AIR, AIR SDK, but what I want do with SDK? When I change application.xml to "<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">", the compiler show error: Invalid application descriptor: Unknow namespace: http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7. What is it?

Loading external swf files with "Uncompiled ActionScript" is not supported on iOS devices.When running the app on iOS in debug mode, an alert window will pop up in case an invalid swf is loaded.The swf files may not contain any actionscript code, library elements with linkage identifier or MovieClips on stage with instance names.Is there any chance to check on a windows PC, if an already existing swf contains "Uncompiled ActionScript", without tediously checking the .fla file in Flash prof.?

Hi, It's great to see that Adobe is making updates for the iOS development platform. However, I have an application in the appstore that I developed using the (old) pfi packager using Flash cs5. Therefore I can't update the app using Air 2.6 or 2.7.I wonder: what if I reinstall my mac from scratch, I need to reinstall pfi to create updates to my app.Does anyone know where I can download the old pfi? Or maybe someone downloaded the installer and is willing to send it to me?I would hate to be unable to continue development of my "old" apps...Thanx in advance!

Now that AIR 2.7 is out it's possible to do side by side tests with Android and iOS. I have a vector animation, running in an FLA that has zero mobile optimizations, and the rendermode is set to CPU. The start of the animation is ten seconds long, and has audio that goes with it. This makes it easy to tell how well the animation is performing. On my iPad 2 the audio and animation end at the same time. My iPhone 4 is perhaps a half second late in finishing the animation. I have a high end Android tablet too, and it's over two seconds late in finishing the animation.

Hi,I have spent the past several weeks using the Packager for iPhone to develop a game on the iPad, I had put a lot of work into optimising the game to work on the GPU correctly and got it working at a very good frame rate.I should say at this point that my game use only bitmaps (no vectors anywhere), and uses no filters, and just the additive blending mode sometimes.I understand that air 2.6 uses the GPU differently than packager for iphone, I believe it uses GPU Vector mode instead of GPU blend so that all the rasterization is now done on the GPU instead of the CPU. So I compiled my game using adt, but it ran very slowly... I then spent a lot of time trying to get it to run at a better frame rate, but could not get it up to the same speed as I saw in packager for iphone...1) I am still a bit confused as to when to use bitmap caching in air 2.6 - if I have a game which only uses bitmaps and they are never rotated - just moved about in x/y space - do I even need to enabled any kind of

Hello,I've found out that Speex playback doesn't work on iOS devices, while capturing audio in Speex from Microphone works well. Can you please fix that?

Hi, I'm new in this forum and I hope this is the correct place where to put my question.I want to open a PDF document in my Air application for Android.I have used StageWebView but I can't open my document because there is a problem with hardware accelerator.I use Air SDK 2.6.Anyone can explain me how can I enable hardware accelerator or if there is another way to obtain what I need?The same code tested on IPad work perfectly.Thank you very much.Alberto

Hello!We have an existing, working AIR application developed for a client. the project is AS only and the air application needs to access to the harddisk as well as the web.The client has outsourced the whole IT department and IT support to another company - therefore, whenever something needs to be done on the employees computers that require admin rights (like installing new software), an expensive process has to be started that goes through this IT support company.the problem is, that if we release bugfixes or updates in functionality for our application through a new air file, the update process requires admin rights although the new version has the exact same access rights as the already installed one.The client wants to drop our project if we can't come up with a solution of how we can rollout bugfixes and feature updates without the need of admin rights for the update.How can we achieve this? Requiring Admin Rights for the first Installation is ok - but not for subsequent update

I accidentally deleted AIR from my HP pcand about half of my icons on my screen now display a blank document like when its an unknown file. I have tried unsuccessfully to redownload AIR but after I go thru the initial process, it wants me to chooses a program to open it. So it goes into this whole circle and never does anything. Those icons for certain programs also open up the window requesting to choose a program which to open them with. Even Explorer I can't open. HELP!!!!!!!!! What began this whole fiasco was I downloaded Adobe Reader 5 and it stated it MIGHT be corrupt so I deleted it and I MUST have also removed AIR by accident................

I have been working on an AIR application for a few months and I have recently had a problem where a TitleWindow or Panel can cause the computer to freeze, needing a hard reset.It is very inconsistent, but I can ususally get it to happen if I move the TitleWindow vigorously for a few seconds. Other times I just need to try and close the TitleWindow/Panel for it to freeze.I recently updated to AIR 2.6 from 2.5 and to Flex 4.5 from 4.1. I haven't tried rolling back to earlier versions of AIR/Flex yet.What I have tried is:Fresh install of OS (still on XP)Remove video card drivers and just use standard drivers.Launch app as debug, launch app without debugExport relase build.After doing all of the above, I could still get it to freeze.It may only happen if the popup is opened from another popup.I don't want this to happen on a customers computer, so I need to find the problem.Were there any changes in AIR 2.6 regarding how graphics are handled, or does anyone have any idea what may be causi

Hi AllI hope you can help. I am currently working on a Ipad 1 app. This app contains video at 640x253 and smaller video at 392x155. I have compiled the app and had a look at it on the Ipad but it runs really choppy. Is there a specific compression I can use to make the playback smoother. I know I can use stage view but it is not ideal for what I need to do. i am aware air 2.7 has a lot more perfomance boost than 2.6 which I am currently using but when is it coming out? If anyone could advise that would be great.regards Mike

I am using MediaPromise to get an image from an Android phone's native camera interface.I am rotating the retrieved image 90 degrees to account for front camera.The question is: How to detect if the camera used is from the front or back? If I can detect it is front, I will rotate the image.I tried a if(height>width)   but regardless of which camera they are all landscape.

Hi Guys,I have an app out that covers the iphone and ipad, now I am making an exclusive iPhone 4 version of it to accommodate the crazy high res display of the iPhone 4.Anyhow I am not clear on what to do with the deafult.png file, do I make it 640px x 960px to fit just right into the iPhone 4 screen or do I make it 320 x 480, since there is no way right not to limit a release to jus the iPhone 4, the default.png image has to cover all platforms.Or is there is a way to denote the default screen is specifically for the iPhone 4 such as the iPad version of the deafult.png which is called default_portrait.png??Thanks, let me know if there is a clear answer, could not find anything with the search.

Hi All,I tried the code snippet from Tour de flex. Every time, I see the geolocation .muted returns true.Here is my settings: within "Location and security", --> My Location,  "Use GPS satellites" , checked;  "Use wireless networks", checked. But still g.muted in the below code returns  true every time, so I can not get any update. But interesting enough that other geolocation app, latitude, map, and poynt all work perfectly and they can find my location properly.Can anyone shed any light on this?Thanks in advanceDavid<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"         xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"         title="SampleGeolocation"        creationComplete="init(event)">        <fx:Script>        <![CDATA[   &n
