AIR - Major Bug (?) with MovieClip class

Hello all,
We are a team of developers working on ActionScript 3.0 project using Adobe AIR SDK and Adobe Flex SDK. During the development we discovered what seems to be a major problem with getting MovieClip instances to play correctly. More specifically, the problem has to do with the gotoAndStop method. If, using the gotoAndStop method, you perform a for loop over all MovieClip frames (from the 1st frame to the last one) and go back to the 1st frame again, then, after adding MovieClip to the Stage, the 1st frame won't be set, contrary to what's expected. Instead, the MovieClip selects the last frame, which messes things up. Are there any solutions to the described problem, other than switching to the right frame after the object has been added to Stage?
This seems like a 'no way out' situation - any help would be much appreciated.
A note: MovieClip itself is being imported from the 'swc' file.

Thanks for the heads up and I'm sorry you guys have run into this issue. Is this is new to AIR 3.x?
Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com, including a brief description and sample code/app to help us easily reproduce the problem. Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.
Thanks,
Chris

Major bug with iCloud restore and the multitasking menu that compromises privacy.

Hello there,
I very rarely post on these forums but I’ve discovered what I think is a pretty serious bug. I’ve already sent this as feedback to apple but id be interested to know if anybody else is able to re-create it or has already stumbled across the problem.
I have been able to recreate this problem twice by creating an icloud backup on an iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0) and restoring to an iphone 6 (iOS 8.0).
The problem has to do with the multitasking snapshots that appear after double clicking the home button. On the iPhone it is my understanding that there can be up to 3 ‘different’ snapshots based on when the home button is double clicked and the orientation of an app:
a) The first is when you have an app open in portrait mode and then close it or click the home button to exit. Double clicking the home button from the home screen will then display the multitasking menu including a portrait snapshot of what was last seen in that app.
b) The next is when you're in an app that supports landscape mode and double click the home button whilst ‘in app.’ This displays a multitasking menu with landscape snapshots showing what was last seen when apps were open in landscape (note that if apps can only be shown in portrait than this is the image that will be shown and it will appear sideways).
c) Finally, there is the case when you have an app open in landscape and then directly close it or press the home button, and then double press the home button. This displays a multitasking menu with portrait snapshots; however, to my knowledge these snapshots never change (they will not show the last snapshot from when the app was last open in portrait mode).
The bug is that after restoring from iCloud, the snapshot as described in ‘C’ scenario gets set to whatever was in the icloud backup for scenario ‘A.’ Because this snapshot cannot be changed it is a major bug if for instance you have personal information in the snapshot. In my case, I have my bank statement permanently appear in the snapshot for scenario C.
What’s more, if I have safari is in landscape and then close it; then at some point I open the multitasking bar before opening safari again in portrait mode; then the snapshot flashes up in the actual app for around 1-2 second before disappearing.
At the moment the only solution I can see is to setup my iPhone as new but this will be a major hassle and lose all my settings etc.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that I think this is a bug across all ios devices with multitasking; however, with the ipads there is an easy solution because you are able to orientate the home screen in multiple ways. This means its possible to update the snapshots in a way that you can’t do on the iPhone because the home screen is locked to portrait.

so to clarify, it appears that the multitasking snapshot for the following scenario will not update: open safari and turn to landscape, exit safari using home button or multitasking bar, then double press home button. That snapshot that appears for safari doesn't ever seem to refresh. Whatever is there is stuck there and whats more it will always pop up in the actual browser for 1-2 secs the next time safari is opened after completing those steps. Im not sure when the snapshot is initially created - it must be the first ever time you close safari but as I said in my post, it also appears to be stored in iCloud backups. So I've tried:
a) hard resetting
b) clearing safari cache and history
c) resetting all settings
d) restoring from iCloud (as mentioned)
e) opening and closing closing safari using the multitasking menu (both the landscape multitasking menu that appears when you're actually in safari in landscape mode, and the multitasking menu that appear when you double press the home button on the home screen).
f) same as above except closing all tbs open in safari before then exiting.

Less than two week old iPad Air crashes with youtube/netflix and Safari when loading pages with video (i.e. Buzzfeed with links to youtube and vine). What's up with iPad Air's bugs with videos??

Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......

I can well imagine that they are.
I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

ITunes 7.5 - major bug with playing cds! ?

when i play cds and deselect tracks, i often get spinning wheels that freeze itunes and make me force quit. it happens with both cd drives, and with a dozen different cds, all brand new.
this only happens with 7.5. if i use 7.4.2, it never ever happens. and it never happened with any itunes version before 7.5. it also happened with 10.4.8 and itunes 7.5 before i upgraded to 10.4.11.
the thing is, it only seems to happen right when i deselect the track on a cd, and usually at the very end of the track. this is quite unusual, but i've got it to reproduce very consistently.
try unchecking say, tracks 1-3 on a cd, then on track 4, uncheck it as it's playing at the last few seconds of the track, like at 2 seconds left. if it doesnt happen, re-select it and try again, and if not then leave it unchecked and try the same thing on track 5.
i cant use 7.5 b/c of this bug.
thanks

ha, yeah i see that - thank you! yours sounds like the same problem. i cant believe nobody else posted about this. it happens on every cd! and apple tech support today said they had no knowledge of this problem. the itunes techie couldnt test it out on his end b/c he said they are prohibited from having cds at work. this is insane considering that playing cds is a major function of itunes, so how is itunes tech support supposed to diagnose cd related problems when they dont have any cds!!? jeez

Major bug with Share

I pulled off a huge jump in GTA V and wanted to save it for later viewing. So I pressed the Share button on the controller and WHOOPS i pressed Triangle to take a screenshot instead. I thought it wasn't a problem so I then pressed Square to save the video. Only thing is, once you've taken a screenshot, any video data is then deleted. So after taking a screenshot, it deletes your current video that you're about to save and starts a new recording. I hope that made sense and I hope this is a bug and not intentional, because I just lost a whole load of awesome content...

Same issue; I share my Documents folder and everyone can see the folders below it but have NO access ot most of the sub folders (the minus symbol). The one exception is a folder "Civilization IV Demo";
Permissions:
Documents (MAIN FOLDER):
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone read and write
Sub folders (sub folders under Documents)
Civilization IV Demo (works):
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone read only
staff read only
Data Folder (No workie)
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone no access
I did a erase and install with Leopard and restored the files from a backup using Apples Backup utility.
I could probably get to a terminal window and modify permissiosn these via. chmod but I'm not all that comfortable with that.
Any ideas????

Major Bug with ADDRESSBOOK .abbu vs. iCloud

Hello!
I’ve been trying to fix this issue with APPLE’s second level support here in Europe, but with no success
Which is why I’m now turning toward the community, in the hope Cupertino is reading this. Come on guys!
I presume some sort of inherited bug, either from
- me.com times – as the contacts synchronisation never really worked flawless, which forced me to use ADDRESSBOOK only locally.
- or perhaps because being partly using apple products in France and Germany (2 languages)
- or because of both reasons – don’t know.
The issue:
For the above described reasons, I administrate my contacts locally. In other word, my local ADDRESSBOOK is the “Master” database and I don’t sync my contacts with iCloud although it would be nice, …if it worked reliably.
I do some backups at least every half year on 20XX-12-31 and 20XX-06-30. Sometimes also inbetween. Over the years, these .abbus increased their sizes up to…
2012-03-25_abbu : was 95 MB. It seems pretty normal as I gathered nearly 3000 contacts mostly including pictures or logos.
BUT ! :
in the weeks after this date, the .abbu suddenly began to grow up to 1.8 GB !!! …for no traceable reason, as I only added let’s say 200-300 new contacts. This exponential increase in size is just weird. It led to two steps:
a) I opened a copy of my 1.8 GB .abbu (context-menu/show package content) and found out a huge amount of “sub-abbus”.
Is it normal or it there some kind of bad loop occuring here and responsible for the size-increase? It’s pretty hard to find any information on .abbus. I’d like to analyse the data-structure in order to find out if the bug is sitting here. Which program is appropriate to achieve this? The ideal case would be to get a fix from APPLE itself, but even the support structure itself seems not to be provided with enough information. So, regarding “contacts syncing”, one consequence here is that I have to stay offline – for a couple of years now. Another consequence is, that I can’t purchase any iPhone or iPad before this issue is not fixed.
b) I consider my 2012-03-25_abbu as THE reliable database. In order not to lose any information, I started to backup each new contact separately. Each time I create one or do some changes on a card, I export the card as a .vcf. So, with the 2012-03-25.abbu and these additional new .vcfs, I’m pretty sure to be able to rebuild my whole contacts’ database each time after it’s been destroyed by iCloud.
Apart of the incresing size issue of the .abbu, some problems occur as soon as I connect ADDRESSBOOK with iCloud:
iCloud overwrites my local ADDRESSBOOK content instead of uploading the data. This also occurs/ed with an empty iCloud.com account – just weird. The data is inconsistent and coming from a no identified source. Even the second level support has no explenation.
The second level support and I tried every possible approaches with test accounts and so on – e. g.:
- uploading the 1.8 GB .abbu – doesn’t work
- uploading the .vcf of the whole database (approx. 3900 contacts now) – looses the groups’ affiliations.
Resuming it all, it’s just impossible to work with an inconsistent database, because you know you loose data permanently.
Is there any chance to forward this HELP CALL to Cupertino, for someone exactly knowing the subject will hopefully find a fix, please !
Desperately yours

Connect by clause - Major bug with Oracle 9.0.1

Currently I am working with Oracle 8.1.6 database,
now we are migrating to Oracle 9.0.1.
We are often using "Connect By" clause in our queries since our database structure is hierarchical.
I am facing one problem with "Connect By" clause in
Oracle 9.0.1, actually which is working properly with Oracle 8.1.6.
I am giving the Problem.
I have created a Table say Object_Master,
Then I insert 3 rows in that table,
and then I commit and try to execute one query,
Same thing is working properly in Oracle 8.1.6 but same query is not working in Oracle 9.0.1.
Following is the script.
Create table Object_Master
ObjectId Number(5),
ObjectName Varchar2(255),
ParentId Number(5),
DeleteStatus Varchar2(1),
IsSecuritySet Varchar2(1))
Insert Into Object_Master Values (1,'john',0,'N','Y')
Insert Into Object_Master Values (2,'ADMIN',1,'N','Y')
Insert Into Object_Master Values (3,'ADMIN',1,'N','Y')
Commit
Select * from
Object_Master
Start with ObjectId = 1
Connect By parentid = Prior ObjectId
And DeleteStatus = 'N' And ( IsSecuritySet = 'N' Or ObjectName = 'ADMIN' )
This script is working perfectly with Oracle 8.1.6 but when I try to run this sc[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Hey Mitesh,
What's going on? So many posting for the same question, and that is also not comlete. Try to post rest of your question.

AIR bug with iOS fullscreen video! (easy repro)

Here's a bug with fullscreen AIR apps not dealing with iOS fullscreen video resize. Easy repro:
1. Create an mc with a background graphic aligned with the top and bottom of the stage. (This is so you can easily see the bug.)
2. Add a stageWebView and load an html page with embedded video. (or just load a video directly)
3. Play video and enable fullscreen mode.
4. Rotate device 90 degrees while in fullscreen mode and then hit "Done" button to return to stage (exit fullscreen).
5. BUG: Stage is now "pushed down" and off-screen. (even though the mc still traces x = 0)
Conclusion: the display bug occurs when the user exits the iOS native player fullscreen mode from a different orientation then they started with (common if the original aspect ratio was portrait)
Can someone else please confirm this? (The amount of stage "push" appears to corrolate with the height of the iOS status bar.)
Thanks.
PS. You don't necessarily need to load an html page. You can just have stageWebView load a video directly and experience the same result.
PPS. I also tried using the new UIWebView Native Extension and am seeing the same thing, so this is really looking like an AIR/Flash bug with the iOS native player.

A simpler summary for this issue:
If the device has been rotated since entering Fullscreen native player, a fullscreen app will be "pushed downwards" and off-screen slightly.
BUG: Adobe AIR app does not stay in fullscreen mode after such and event, ruining graphic UI for fullscreen apps.
Simple workaround: listen for on orientationChange and if stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL, set to stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULLSCREEN.
However, iOS native player will lose traditional status bar appearance (and risk rejection by Apple??)
Complex workaround (as mentioned earlier) will keep the native player's status bar but result in the app's screen "flashing" upon resizing the stage.
Please help fix this bug by commenting in my bug report. Thanks again.

Control MovieClip with a Class? A.S. 3.0

Hello,
I have a question. In my fla file i have drawn a square. I
gave it a class name "Vierkant".
In the same folder i created this class. Why doesn't there
apear a square ?
Or is this not possible from within a class?

if I read this right, you have drawn a square on stage, put
it inside a movieclip, and associated that clip with the class
"Vierkant". I this is what you've done, then the asset is already
on the stage, so you should see it for sure, unless it's positioned
off-stage.
If the above assumption is correct, in your class code,
square = new MovieClip(); is a blank movieclip that you
created. It's not the square that's in the FLA. The square that
you're trying to have show up is the Vierkant class object itself,
i.e. "this".

Problem/bug with AIR 3.0

Hi guys,
I'm here again. I got this error when I tried to publish my project with AIR 3.0.. Actually, I've created an application usign AIR 2.6 (default comes with CS 5.5). It was used to get published and I used to update it on regular basis. Few days back I had to copy AIRSDK3 folder to Adobe's program files' folder, where I renamed AIR2.6 to anything else and AIRSDK3 to AIR2.6... Today, when I tried to publish my same project, I got this following error. Hope that would help adobe (as it is beta version).
(By the way, when I renamed the folders to their original names, it worked and published).

Steve,
We have seen the same thing and reported it to Forte. We have not yet
heard back with a bug report number...
For now, we have removed all comments from our sql code.
Derk
>
We have just switched from version 2.0.H.1 to version 3.0.F.2 in development,
and have discovered a bug with comments in SQL code.
Anywhere in a cursor definition, or within SQL code in a method, if we use the
multi-line comment format "/* ... */" even on a single line, then the code
compiles fine, but crashes at runtime with a "Invalid SQL Command" error. It
looks as though Forte is including the comment as part of the SQL!
Has anyone else seen this problem? We have not found it in the known bugs list
for 3.0.F.2 or the fixed bugs list for 3.0.G
This worked fine for us prior to version 2, and if we don't get it fixed in
Forte, it means a lot of rework to change the existing comments to single-line
"// ..." format.

I have a major problems with adobe air.

i have a major problems with adobe air. day before yeasterday it work. now it tell me that it is musconfigure. so i have tried a download it again. but still not working.

You really need to explain what you are doing, and what your "major problems" are. We do not even know if you mean the AIR runtime, or AIR SDK? Nor your operating system.

Is it flash bug? Tween Class

I've been working on a bit big project. I've some components on the stage. There are basically 4 frames. Each frame has some components. What I've done is, I've used tween class. Workflow is something like this:
Frame 1:
--used Tween class to get fade effect for List component.
--used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when it is finished.
--when it is finished, applied eventListener
--on Change event, remove eventListeners and use Tween class again to get reverse fade effect.
--again used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when finished.
--in that evenHandler, gotoAndStop(2);
Frame 2:
//similar
Frame 3:
//similar
and so on.. now, what happens, is, if i play with my scene, sometimes tween class failed to work. sometimes it does not display List component, sometimes it displays List component with alpha 0.2. sometimes it happens with movieClip also. Is it flash bug or problem with my code?

probably a coding problem. the most common error that seems like a flash bug would be to define a tween within a function body allowing flash to gc that tween, possibly before it starts and/or completes.

10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
I login to userA have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.

BlueTooth bug with car

Since the 4.3 update there's a big bug with the bluetooth connection with the car system - it still exists after a factory reset:
I paired the phone and the car. But every time they connect, I get a message box if I want to grant access to my phone's messages. Even the "Allow always" option does not work and I get asked every time. Very annoying!!

Hello, I'm having the same issue after updating my Xperia SP to Android 4.3 (12.1.A.0.266). In my car (Mercedes Benz A-Class from 2013) there is a radio called "Audio 20 CD" built in. Every time when I want to get into my car, my smartphone wants a connection request for my messages (SMS).The option "Always Allow" does not work. The phone does not remember the next time. I tried several times a new pairing of phone and car radio and I cleared the cache of the bluetooth-share app and smart connect app, but this didn't solve the problem. Is there a fix available? With kind regardsThorsten
