Air

I have a strange problem with the screen size on an application I am making. The Images are attached.On the test in CS5 I get the correct layout, and the navigation bar and scoring is at the bottom. However when I publish and install the application I get the nav bar and score moved up. The reason is that the screen size is changed and I use the hight and subtract the y co-ord from the bottom. The screen dimensions are 666w 984h in test and change to 652h 994w. Any idea why?Test image from CS5Published application

I have a name and email field - when clicked in they pop up the keyboard on iPad. Great. Except that the text size in the field, while typing on the keyboard, is like 60pt and doesn't fit properly. Soon as Enter is clicked and the text accepted, the font size changes to what it's supposed to be and the text looks proper again.What's the fix for this? Do I need to make my own keyboard or is there some way to keep the proper font and size while typing on the ipad keyboard?Thanks

I saw an app that allows you, once you run it, to blow little holes all over your home screen, even with Live Wallpaper continuing to run in the background.  What I want to do is similar in that I want to be able to interact on a layer OVER the home screen.  Basically, I want to create an app with a transparent background that allows you to see through to the mobile desktop underneath.I know this is possible, but can Air for Android do this?  Is this a SurfaceView method?  SurfaceHolder?  If anybody could help me, I'd be super super grateful!  This has me completely stumped and the lack of information in other forums leads me to believe this might not be possible. 

Hello,I have a problem that I have an application that loads flv files from a directory and I want to make the user select that directory, File.browseForDirectory works on desktop but not on the mobile !!!!Is there any other way to do so ?

Hi guys I'm using gesture_zoom, PNG and maximum zoom 2x If I use the zoom my pictures are very poor. I need these high definition images. Does anyone have a issue?tanksBruno Brustoloni e Oliveira

Well, probably like many of you - I was amazed to see that you cannot update your existing AppStore app developed using PFI - to 2.6, you have to re-create it as a totally different App (losing all rating/downloads/reputation)Just wanted to see how are you people tackling this - upgrading or not? myself am thinking on staying in PFI (forever for my exsiting app), and develop new ones using 2.6+.Or did anyone find a workaround for this?Very, very improfessional decision by Adobe - at least make this modular.

browseForDirectory() is not supported on Android I would like like to build an app using AIR where one of the needs is to        Select a folder where images are stored        Read though all of the images and their meta data Any other options or guggestions on something to research to be able to pick a directory? ThanksMathias

There must be a way to use external speaker when playing sound (instead of phone speaker) with air 2.6 on iOS...but i cannot find anything on the net.Anyone knows the answer?Thanks for any help you can bring.

   I've developed a few games with flash and have wanted to try my hand at some mobile apps. Most of my games are point and clicks and since I already know AS3, AIR  seems to be a pretty good option.I've asked about Android- which I plan on targeting first- and it appears a major downside is that many AIR apps woud require additional software on older phones and that the required software is a bit of a space hog.What are the downsides for developing for iphone? Does IOS require special software to play AIR apps? Do they run particularly slowly on the iphone?

Steps:1. User prompted for download of Abode Air.2. User accepts download3. Accuweather.com Cirrus becomes inactive (no longer reading weather)4. User restarts computer 5. No change to Accuweather.com CirrusExpected: I would expect Abode Air to install and not harm other programsAcutal: Adobe Air installed and distrupted Accuweather.com Cirrus widget so that it no longer functions.Screenshots of error messages for Console & HTML attached.Acceptable solutions enable Accuweather.com Cirrus widget to function as it did prior to the Adob Air download. Nothing other than Adobe Air was downloaded and/or installed during the time of the widget disruption. This is a repeatable error because this is the 2nd system on which this exact error has happened.

Hi to all of you.Im just in the process of trying adobe air to create a gmae on iPhone 4 and i did manage to package corrrectly and intall and make some tests on optimisation with gpu mode on. During those tests, i try exporting a movieClip into a .swc and used it in FlashDevelop. Loaded the thing no problem...That movieclip contains a dynamioc textfiled wich i plan to use to show infos...Now i add 10  mc (dots) moving from top to bottom in one loop and i use the textfield to show some kind of score points, so i embed numbers in it with a custom font.now when i click a mc, i add 100 the the score and show the total in the textfield...but at 3500 points, the fps drop to 15 fps, not 3400 nor 3600...I did many tests, waiting longer before reaching 3500, using one dot mc instead of 10...The thing is memory in air player doesnt go up...stays pretty much at 2.6 mb - 30 fps but at 3500 gets to 2.6 mb 15fps...will go back to 30 at let say 4200 then back to 15fps at 5000 and so on...I did

I have Windows 7 with a 256 bit.  Browser is  IE9.I have spent far too many hrs. (1 wk.+) trying to resolve this issue of not being able to download flash player with active X  control..I cannot understand why Adobe was so difficult  to connect with for help. I have done everything that was mentioned without success. I was in a loop when trying to contact someone from support .> either no response or message stated no one available. I did manage once to download flash but only could access a few videos. I accomplished this by downloading Google as a  temporary browser and then deleted after the download. However. My browser locked me out of hotmail and the quick fix was to restore my computer to an earlier time. Then adobe flash was no longer installed. Can one of the moderators do a remote access to do this task for me. I am a senior and at the rate I am going, Flash will be extinct or I will be!   I  . do believe there must be a better way.

Does anyone here have experience porting their Adobe Air Android apps to the iPhone?  or vice versa?  What kind of differences you see or what kind of issues you had to face or any tips to give to others?  i will begin by sharing my experience...

Hello,I am building a custom air browser for my company using the HTML component.It's working great in general but my company makes extensive use of the djvu technology for online image viewing.Problem: the djvu plugin doesn't work on the air browser. After installing the last version (6.1.4) of the plugin it keeps saying it's necessary to install the plugin. (it works ok with the other browsers, also with google chrome).Has anybody ever met a similar problem?thanks in advancemarco

We have built our mobile app using Adobe's AIR platform, not Apple's XCode.  Everything has been going along just fine, we were able to create all the required certificates and provisioning profiles for development and test the app on actual iPhones (3GS and 4), and go through the entire iTunes Connect process of entering the meta data, but now, when we are trying to upload the binary through the Application Loader, we keep getting this error when we try uploading: "Application failed codesign verification.  The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate." Would appreciate insight into how to resolve this...  Many thanks,Birgitte

Hi,I'm able to successfully connect to a remote http-based service, and I can see data coming back in wireshark, but nothing is received via the ProgressEvent in the application. No errors are thrown and I'm listening for http and security errors.Note, if I run this as a Flex app on the local filesystem in bin-debug the app works just fine.Does anyone have any clue as to what might be blocking the response data at the AIR application-level?Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HiDoes anyone know about the option for customers to pay for app downloads through their network provider?A potential customer of mine has asked why they cannot add the purchase to their T-Mobile bill (as opposed to setting up a Google Checkout account).  They were told by T-Mobile that this option is set by the app developer - is that right?I'm not aware of this option but presumably it would enable more people to buy.  Any info?ThanksMessage was edited by: slopester Typo

Can I move my app.xml file outside of project folder? All of my other code is from linked folders and is in SVN. Since my project folder is not in SVN (because it's mostly specific to my machine), I cannot have my app.xml in SVN. So, I need to share my app.xml with other developers but I do not want to share my local projects settings. See the problem?Also, there doesn't seem to be a thread to ask general AIR questions (like this one).
