IPad Development Question - Flash CS5

My friends and I were thinking about creating a few games for the iPad. With Flash CS5, there is an option to publish to iOS. With the conflict between Apple and Adobe... If we create a game in Flash and publish it to iOS, would Apple allow it in their App Store?

IPad development question

I've installed CS5 and effectively ported a flash application I had developed to my iPhone. Brilliant, fast, and seamless (even if I did have to increase the size of all my buttons to accommodate fingers rather than a mouse)
Here's my question: An attempt to create an iPad version failed. I can successfully install the 320x480 px iPhone app to the iPad, but I cannot create a 1024x768 project in Flash and port it to the iPad. Everything works well to the point of installing it, when iTunes throws up an error.
Has anyone successfully created an app for iPad that is native resolution? The Adobe blog page showed such things, but no one has posted any kind of tip or tutorial to that end.
Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks!
Granted, yes, the CS5 --> iPod development concept through the iTunes store is a dead issue due to corporate one-upmanship, but there are many of us who do ad-hoc and enterprise deployment who couldn't care less, since we don't need Apple's OK to create apps (^_^)

I think we should really let this thread rest. Adobe has released a iPad packaging update to Flash CS5. I've already documented it's strengths and weaknesses in another thread.
It's great for applications, but poor on mid level performance and above. It can't handle large flv files at a decent framerate or alpha animations very well but it does the trick nicely if you are working on a small project for yourself (not into apple's hands). It's great for prototyping for sure.
You can download it by simply going to the help bar and hitting updates from inside flash cs5 as I recall. Quite simple. No need for the goose chase...

Voice recognition support in mobile air application developed using Flash CS5.5

I want to develop an android application via Flash CS5.5 which takes the command based on voice or convert voice in to text. Voice recognition support is available in android SDK but it is not available in latest Air SDK.
I tried on Google to find out how to develop Voice recognition mobile application in Flash CS5.5 but did not find anything. There is some example/video which shows hack around native android code but this is for Flex not for the Flash.
Waiting response?
Thanks
RTY

Hi Rty,
I think you should use a native extension.
Have a look at this link:

Pixalation when deploying to iPad 2 using Flash cs5.5 trial downloaded 15 days ago

Hi All
We are looking to use flash to create iOS apps, so we have downloaded the latest version of flash, but when testing on the iPad we see pixalation, is there a later version of cs5.5 or an update that will fix this issue?
Or is there a setting beside the setting Resolution set to High...
I did read somewhere about AIR3 is going to better renderring for 3D, but will it be for the iPad and also what about 2D rendering, I mean it is vectors aand I thought they did not pixelate.
Thanks all.

Hi,
Thanks, I will try this and keep you posted

Android development in Flash CS5, help needed.

Hi,
so I'm relatively knew to developing Flash applications that run on Android and have a lot of unanswered questions (Google has been searched!). Basically I'm building an MP3 player for my dissertation that will run on Android 2.2 using the extension for Flash.
The main question is, is it possible to load a song from the SD card into a flash application using a button in the flash document? if so,
is there anyone that can point me in the right direction as how to do this? any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Hi,
Use the below code to load and play an audio:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
/* testAudio.mp3 is located at the same path where the .swf file is placed */
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testAudio.mp3");
s.load(req);
function onLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var loadedPct:uint = Math.round(100 * (event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal));
    trace("The sound is " + loadedPct + "% loaded.");
function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
    var localSound:Sound = event.target as Sound;
     /* Play the audio */
    localSound.play();
function onIOError(event:IOErrorEvent) {
    trace("The sound could not be loaded: " + event.text);
For better understanding of Sound Class refer the link :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Sound.html
For how to load a file from SD in AIR 2.5 for Android :
import flash.filesystem.File;
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("music/testAudio.mp3");
if (file.exists) {
     trace(file.url);
     s.load(new URLRequest(file.url));
Hope it helps.

IPad development in flash

Hi,
I'm having trouble with building iOS applications in flash. I just bought an iPad and want to start building apps for it. I hav done simple apps for iPhone before but nothing too fancy. The problem is, I can build it and compile it fine but when I try to install on my device it comes up with the error saying:
"ITunes: 'APPNAME' failed to install."
I can compile it as an iPhone app and it works fine. I'm pretty sure I've got my provisioning right because I have both my iPhone and iPad devices added. Anyone got any ideas of why my apps only work while I compile them as iPhone apps?
Thanks

If you've built 2 separate apps, one for each device, be sure you go back in provisioning portal and check your certificate. A certificate (p12) is associated with an app, so when you add a new app, your certificate needs to be regenerated to include support for it. You can't just use the same p12 with a new app without it or you can get that error.
Otherwise after you produce your IPA, open it up and take a look inside (rename it to .zip, uncompress). If you're on a Mac it's very easy. You want to keep uncompressing the app until you can look internally at the mobileprovision to be absolutely sure your device is supported.
Also make sure you include iPad as a supported device in your XML. iPhone/iPod is family 1, iPad is 2. So your XML InfoAdditions it should say: <![CDATA[<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string><string>2</string></array>]]>

Help - not able to add icons in flash cs5.5 ipa

I have created a ipad app using flash cs5.5 which works great until I try to add the different icon fils sized (29x29, 48x48, etc) to the icon tab. When I add all of the icons I receive teh below error message.
Note that I was able to successfully create the .ipa file ONLY when I used just the 48x48 icon. However, I was unable to load that ipa to apple using the Packager as I received another error message that the Small-File-50 icon needed to be a size of 72x72.
I have tried to manually add the data to the xml file as well as tried different configurations (standard vs. high setting, iphone and ipad, ipad, etc.) ,
I also successfully created the app in 5.0 and was able to upload it to Apple using the packager so I believe the issue is being able to add the icons similar to how 5.0 lets you. It appears in 5.5 the App Icons for publish directory is not created in the same way so perhaps that is the issue? I even tried creating my own AppIconsForPublish folder but that did not work either.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

I tried re-installing Java runtime and that did not fix the issue.
I also loaded a fresh install on my Mac which also has the latest Java runtime and received the same error when I tried a brand-new program. I used older icons that worked perfectly in the past.
Has anyone been able to successfully create ipa's with all of the icons included or just the 48 pixel one similar to the issue that I have.
As noted before when I successfully create the ipa with just the 48 pixel icon then I cannot load it into the apple store using packager.

Flash CS5.5 :Android App won't match screensize

Hi,
I have created an app for ipad recently with Flash CS5.5. It works just fine, but now I'm trying to publishing it for android devices such as the samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. When I set the document dimensions to 1280x800 the app won't match the screen resolution of the tab and the app displays white bars for filling the gaps.
I tried to enlarge the document width to 1380 pixel but the height won't fit on the other hand...
I exported it landscape view and fullscreen.
Thanks.

As like that for 1024*768 for ipad, Is that the exact size of android tablet os is 1280x800? whatz ur dimension defined in the flash? Also these two lines of code in your project
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
Publish it in landscape and fullscreen. uncheck the autoorient while publishing.

Creating a SDK (.swc) in Adobe Flash CS5 - Error + Best Practices Questions

Hello all,
I'm currently developing a client library for a server-based API which is developed by my company.
The goal is for the .swc to be usable in both Flash and Flash Builder (any Actionscript environment, really). So far I've just been creating it in Flash CS5 and have yet to test it in Flash Builder. It contains a single piece of UI (a login window) but is intended to expose a number of actionscript classes as API interface points to the developer. The login window is a single Movie Clip placed onto the stage. I have been testing by simply running the Flash project for the SDK and it works well.
However, I run into problems when I attempt to use the SWC in other projects (I have the Flash project for the SDK set to create a SWC as well as a SWF)...
I link the SWC to the other project using the flash compiler settings
com.mycompany.SDK is a class required for initialization (singleton) and com.mycompany.LoginWindow is the UI window for logging in
The developer needs to call SDK.Initialize(), which seems to work fine
When the following code is added I get the below error: addChild(new LoginWindow())
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: InstanceInfo.
I take it that the error is a result of an undefined class - but I cannot figure out where InstanceInfo (it is not a class of mine) is being used or how to fix this...

Found a good example that helped me figure this out.

Flex iPad Application : Run code before application enters background Application Type: Flex Mobile Application Target Platform: iPad AIR Version: 4.0 Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6 I want to run some code just before iphone application goes

Application Type: Flex Mobile Application
Target Platform: iPad
AIR Version: 4.0
Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6
I want to run some code just before iphone application goes into background. I need function similar to didEnterBackground
of native xcode app
(https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegat e_Protocol/Reference/Reference.h
tml#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/applicationDidEnterBackground:)
I tried using devactivated function of flash.display.STAGE.
I used following addEventListener:
STAGE = this.parent.stage;
STAGE.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onAppDeactivated);
It worked for me but only when device is connected to development environment in debug mode. When I create my release build
it is not working.
So how can I make sure that my code runs before application goes into background.

Even I am facing almost same issue

Need to know the simplest workflow for Flash CS5 to iPad

Hi There,
Can you please tell me the simplest workflow for Flash CS5 to iPad.
I want to put my company's flashCS5 made interactive portfolio(with FLV video showreel) into ipad to show my clients.
What is the simplest way?? I am not familier with codes or programming.
Can you help me guys??
-Sahid
I am using PC.

It doesn't matter whether you use a MAC or a PC to create the content - the iPad simply will not accept it. It was designed with exactly that purpose in mind. That's why I advised you to get rid of it. Stick to PC and you'll have zero problems.
Just a hint - a Sony Vaio (the 11 " models with carbon fiber casing) look even more prosperous, are the same weight, and since they run Windows OS will not have the typical Apple limitatations

Please help: Nook Tablet app development with AIR/Flash CS5.5?

Hello,
I developed my first-ever iOS app using Flash CS5.5 (the app has stability issues, addressed in a separate thread). Next on the list is Android deployment.
Can anyone indicate if Flash CS5.5 can be used to develop Android apps for the Nook Tablet? My problem is that the Android-based guidance I've read tells you to take your Android device and configure it for "USB Debugging." The Nook Tablet has no such setting, unlike many other Android phones and tablets. Basically, I need current step-by-step guidance on Android development, plus any guidance on anything different that needs to be done for the Nook Tablet. Thank you for any advice.

Hi, I can confirm that you can develop apps for the NOOK color and tablet. You must use Air 2.6 since the device is pre loaded with that version of air.
Some devices dont support USB debugging, like my kindle fire however a more painful way of doing it is to publish out an apk and then manually load it on to your device either through a file manager of some sort or by emailing yourself the file and then installing it. Be sure to enable your device to accept unknown source files.
I recently published a couple of apps to the NOOK store that I had only tested on an HTC phone and the kindle fire and they both passed the test so I believe the NOOK seems to behave very similar to most android devices and the kindle fire, same dimensions at least as the KF.

Question about flash CS5 working with TLF TextField & self document preloader

Hello everybod,

Class Document :
package Codes
     import flash.display.Sprite;

     import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
     import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class MainDoc extends Sprite

               // stage setting
               stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
               stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the very speedy response!!
That worked, cheers.
Just for the record, if you are having a problem accessing your FlashVars (and you are using a TLFTextField in Flash CS5) and you are using external classes (i.e. you have a document class and not timeline code) you need to listen for the ADDED_TO_STAGE event before trying to access them.
For example ...
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
    public class Main extends Sprite
        public function Main():void
            if (stage) init();
            else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
        private function init(evt:Event = null):void
            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
            var params:Object = loaderInfo.parameters;
            if (parent != null && parent.parent != null) {
                params = parent.parent.loaderInfo.parameters;
            // You can now loop through the params to access your FlashVars
I hope this gets fixed soon. It seems like a big oversight.
Regards,
Adrian
