Hi all,

I've been tasked with creating a Kiosk App which runs in full screen (no chrome) on a Mac. Ideally I want this to be HTML5 Canvas rather than AS3. I need to then make this into a distributable Air app. Is this possible? Can anyone give me a run down of what's involved? I have managed to get a very simple HTML file to run full screen as an air app but I can't get this to work for a HTML file published by Animate.

Many thanks

Kevin

Yeah, the HTML rendering engine in AIR is ancient and your Canvas content will have a hard time. There are a few ANEs and such out there... but I don't have experience with any.

I'm with @kglad on this - why not just use AIR?

Hi,

When you say 'why not just use AIR?' I assume you mean a AS3 SWF based air project as opposed to a HTML5/Canvas one? I'm just not 100% sure what this is going to need to run on in the end, it might be an iPad. I haven't really done any AS3 development for years so I'm a bit out of the loop as far as what's possible, but I'm pretty sure that an AS3 Air App won't work on an iPad??

if you're building an app that will be installed on an ipad, you would use an air for ios project.

if you're building an app that will displayed in the ipad browser, it would have to be html5/canvas.

in any case, you need to find out the job specs before deciding what to build.

if it's a kiosk app why not use air for the kiosk?

p.s. only air can go fullscreen without user interaction?
