Not sure if this helps you but the camera one we've developed does this for you.

Hi Mic, I am looking at your guys' extension package, very interested. I just want to access the camera's flash capability and flash the device flash on demand as my app requires without actually acquiring an image. Would I be able to do that with your extension? Is there a long delay between the call and the actual physical flash?

Hi Mark,

Most definitely, this is currently exactly what one of our extensions does, simply controls the flash state.

There is no noticeable delay between the call and the light, at least on the devices we have tested.

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks Mic Ill probably pick it up this weekend, also interested in that vibration ane since the one adobe put out breaks their own program when previewing in flash and does not seem to work on iPhone.

Am I able to use the same exact code for Android and iOS?

[marchbold]

Yeah all our extensions have a default library (so the API works even when there isn't a specific ANE for the platform) and have the iOS and Android versions matched as closely as possible.

There are some differences in some of them but the API is the same. For example, you can get more information about a dialog closing on one platform than another, i.e. under Android there are 2 ways of closing it so there are additional events to support that information.

Let us know if you have any questions or problems using the ANE's. We're always looking for ways to improve them!

Thanks again Mic your posts have made me very confident and your documentation looks very clear and straightforward plus you supply example files.

I'll let you know if I run into any problems
