Question

Limited AIR 3.0 features?

I'm attempting to package an Android app built in Flash Pro CS5.5 for the Blackberry Playbook. (Just wait - I think I am posting this in the right forum).

When I tried to do it the first time, Blackberry rejected my app because it needed the stand-alone AIR runtime.

My next thought was the upgrade to AIR3.0 and use the captive runtime, hoping this would solve the problem. So I followed the steps online to upgrade CS5.5 to use AIR3.0 and republished my app. Then, I used the command-line adt ulitity to publish a new APK file with the captive runtime. All that seemed to work well.

However, when I go to Blackberry's online conversion tool, I'm being told my app is not compatible. The reason (and again - why I'm asking this here and not on the BB forum) is because my app now thinks it is using all kinds of additional features that it isn't really using.

Specifically:

AIRStage3DSurfaceView

AIRWindowSurfaceView

AndroidActivityWrapper

AndroidCamera

AndroidInputConnection

AndroidLocale

AndroidMediaManager

AndroidNetworkDetector

AndroidStageText

AndroidWebView

CameraUI

customHandler

EntryPoints

AIRGestureListener

Geolocation

OrientationManager

AndroidPhoneStateListener

Utils

VideoView

VideoViewAIR

Again, my app doesn't use any of that. I didn't change any of the code from before, so it's only since publishing using AIR3.0 that these problems are occurring.

So my question is: how can I limit these features? Or this a "fact of life" with 3.0 or the captive runtime, and I'm just SOL?


Thanks.

I added AIR3.0 to Flash and published without issue. The problem is that my app now thinks it is using all kinds of new AIR3.0 features that it isn't actually using. Is there some way to limit this?

Hi Rob,

Would you mind reposting this over on the Blackberry forums?

Thanks,

Chris

As I explained, I don't believe it's not a Blackberry problem. The issue is that AIR 3.0 is causing my app to report that it is using a bunch of features that it isn't using. That's an AIR issue, and has nothing at all to do with Blackberry. Plus, there doesn't seem to be anyone on the BB forums that knows anything at all about working with Flash Pro. Believe me I've tried.

I apologize for not paying closer attention.  I'm asking around and I'll post back with whatever I can find.
