AIR SDK to Target Flash Player 9

I'm developing a project that targets Flash Player 9.  Is there any way in an FB4.7  pure Actionscript project to target the Player version, not the AIR SDK version? If not, what is the AIR version that targets Flash Player 9? I know that I can set the Player version in the compiler settings but the earliest AIR version I have installed is 3.6 which asks for at minimum Player version 10.1.
As an alternative, I'm considering using a Flash Pro format FB4.7 project and wondered if there is any drawback to using the Flash Pro compiler? I'm assuming that a Flash Player 9 targetted project would use the newer compiler.
Edit: It appears that even the Flash Pro project in FB4.7 points to the AIR sdk. So which AIR sdk supports Player 9?
Thanks,
Chris

Ultimately you need to install the proper Flex SDK and or AIR SDK that has the minimum player version you are trying to target. Although it appears that getting ahold of previous versions and getting their minimum player version is not trivial.
Here is a link that I found that may help:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flex/2012/05/looking-for-old-flex-sdks.html
On the other hand according to statistics:
http://www.statowl.com/flash.php
(Adobe's link doesn't seem to give version statistics anymore)
http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html redirects to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashruntimes/statistics.html and I wasn't able to find any information on that site. You could Google around for other sites but http://www.statowl.com/flash.php seems pretty accurate.
An incredibly small amount of people even have Flash Player 9 anymore so is there a reason you don't want to upgrade to requiring Flash Player 10.1?

  • Overlaying adobe air sdk 13 in flash builder 4.7

    After overlaying adobe air sdk 13 in flash builder 4.7 I have followed the step mentioned on adobe site.
    i am getting lots of error in flash builder 4.7 after overlaying.
    Can anyone please suggest me how to get it done for flex mobile project.

    You are probably missing the updated flash debug player that describes all the new methods to the application.
    There is a good walkthrough of how to upgrade flash builder to a new library version, this is described in the first video of hsharma's starling tutorials.
    Its very annoying though, i wish adobe would really build in a feature like this to update libraries.

  • Any tutorials on how to use the daily build of the Flex SDK to create Flash Player 10 content?

    Is there a tutorial on Adobe on how to use the daily build of
    the Flex SDK to create Flash Player 10 content?

    The approach you take might depend on a few things, but it boils down to using mouse interactive coding to trigger whatever effect you eventually realize.  The code you use will depend on the version of Actionscript you plan to use.
    You could make this as a movieclip that is normally stopped at its first frame and when you mouseover or click the movieclip, it animates along its own timeline to its enlarged state.  If the thumbnail is very small and the larger version is substantially larger, and both need to be clear images, this might be the better approach.
    If this only involves enlarging something, you could also probably realize it just using Actionscript Tween coding rather than timeline animation.

    By "running fine", flashplayer 10.1 32-bit linux library may require some "massaging" to actually get it working.
    E.G. on Debian Lenny 64-bit using 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 it requires at least these Lenny 32-bit emulation packages:
        ia32-libs
        ia32-libs-gtk
    (this has been pretty well established for a while)
    *Plus* you'lll have to grab the following libraries from a 32-bit Lenny system:
    :/usr/local/firefox-3.6.8_i386$ ls -l *curl* *idn*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 2010-06-24 14:57 libcurl-gnutls.so.3 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 2010-06-24 14:57 libcurl-gnutls.so.4 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233992 2009-08-17 19:41 libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12 2010-06-07 10:22 libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2010-06-07 10:22 libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.1.0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271524 2010-03-26 23:27 libcurl.so.4.1.0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root    801 2008-06-06 21:29 libidn.la
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2010-02-26 07:01 libidn.so.11 -> libidn.so.11.5.37
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 200280 2008-06-06 21:29 libidn.so.11.5.37
    and plop them in the top level firefox install directory to get it working.  Otherwise you only see messages like
        "Adobe Flash Player error: could not load cURL library"
    (Not terribly helpful)
    This is in contrast to the 10.0 beta 64-bit flashplayer lib that worked fabulously (i had no issues with it ever, which can't be said of the 32-bit one).
    I wonder just how difficult it would have been to fix it for the latest exploits, as they'd done for the 10.x beta 64-bit linux flashplayer previously for security issues?
    This failure by the industry to fully support 64-bit applications is getting pretty pathetic by this point.

  • As3 flash project targetting flash player 10 error 1172

    This is my first post so please excuse me if the answer is trivial.
    I am creating a simple project where a movie clip contains a motion tween lasting 180 frames.
    So I create a tween layer and create the animation.
    I now create another layer and perform a stop(); on frame 30.
    When I compile or test,  it produces loads of 1172 errors where common classes (like vector) cannot be found. 100 errors!
    This is targeting flash player 10. when I target player 9 all works.
    have things changed that dramatically with flash player 10?
    what are the consequences of continuing with flash player 9? I prefer to fix the problem and enhance my knowledge.
    Thanks guys.

    If it's playing in FP8, it can't be AS3.  Generally, AS2 compilation doesn't throw a fit like AS3 compilation does, so seeing errors in AS3 is more likely.  It sounds like you my be using AS2 stuff with an AS3 setting until you set it for FP8 where the publish settings will automatically adjust to AS2.  Beyond that, FP10 has had some issues that FP9 hasn't.

  • Targeting flash player 10 with ASDoc?

    I'm running ASDoc to document my code.
    (The command line tool shipped with Flex
    that generates documentation of your code.)
    I'm running into a problem.
    I created a project targeting Flash Player 10 and the project
    compiles just fine in Eclipse, but when running ASDoc, one of
    the classes I use contains methods that are NOT available to
    flash players lower than Flash Player 10. Thus the ASDoc tool
    is generating an error, b/c it doesn't know I am targeting
    Flash Player 10.
    How do I tell ASDoc that I wish to target Flash Player 10?
    thanks!

    It's a library inside the package flash.net

  • GoToAndStop problem in AIR but not in Flash Player 10

    Hi,
    I'm currently developing a login screen for users to acces my application.
    For the login I have 3 frames, frame 1 allows the user to view the assessor login form or the client login form. Depending on which button they select the function "gotoAndStop(frameNo)" is called with frameNo being either frame 2 for assessors login or frame 3 for clients.
    I also have a back to the home screen button which returns to frame 1 "gotoAndStop(1)".
    The issue I am having is that it returns to frame 1 but the contents from the previous frame (a movie clip) is still visible. This issue doesn't happen when running my applications in flash player 10.
    Could anyone help?
    Regards,
    Shaun

    Just ran into this issue myself. This came up while looking to see what's going on. I'm testing AIR for iOS and if I do a gotoAndStop(), the numbers all trace correctly, but it doesn't seem to actually re-render the asset on the correct frame. If I click and advance the frame, it updates and displays the correct frame.

  • Flex SDK 4.5 && flash player version

    Why does Flex SDK 4.5 requires minimum flash player version 10.1 not 10 ?

    I think the question was "Which flex components will not work in right way if we compile project with Flex SDK 4.5 and then run it in Flash Player 10.0 enviroment?"
    For example - as I understand some new components in Flex SDK 4.5 use flash.globalization classes - so new spark formatters and ?validators? will not work in in Flash Player 10.0.
        * spark.formatter.NumberFormatter
        * spark.formatter.CurrencyFormatter
        * spark.formatter.DateTimeFormatter
        * spark.globalization.SortingCollator
        * spark.globalization.MatchingCollator
        * spark.globalization.StringTools
    Also we have to pay attension to 'string sorting'  functionality - because it could be dependent on flash.globalization also.
    Are there another 'danger' components in Flex SDK 4.5 ?

  • AverMedia Dark Crystal HD Capture SDK II (C729) + flash player = NO Audio devices

    Hi
    I am trying to get flash player to play nice with averMedia Dark Crystal HD Capture SDK II (C729). But Flash player does not find any audio devices on the system. IE: Microphones.Names is 0 in length. Flash player settings window also dont show anything.
    However using Chrome with built in flash player i can see audio device and it works. I have tried uninstalling and uninstalling different versions of flash player with no luck.
    Any hints adobe ?

    I have to assume that it's not be exposed through DirectX in the case of Internet Explorer.  Chrome is probably using a different mechanism for enumerating the audio devices.  The hardware vendor may have some tips, but we're not really doing anything special in terms of detecting or blocking your audio device.

  • Which AIR SDK version does Flash Builder 4 come with

    I have both Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 and would like to experiment with the AIR 2 Beta SDK.
    Does Flash Builder 4 (since it's new) already come with AIR 2, or what do I do to have access to the AIR 2 SDK.
    I'm working with the Eclipse plugin edition if that makes any difference, but answers from non-eclipse users are equally appreciated.

    The SDKs you get from Adobe (unless specified) come with Air 1.5
    If you want the Air 2 beta SDK (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html) You have to get the Flex SDK of choice (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Flex+SDK) and the Air 2 SDK. You then overlay it on the Flex SDK (Using the instructions from the previous post)
    Keep in mind that we have no idea when Adobe will decide to release Air 2, so if you are developing for it, you might have to wait on your release until they are ready. On top of that, you cannot have a user auto-update from air2beta to air2release. Basically, you can only "play" with it for now

  • Runtime Sharing - Flash Player 10 v Adobe Air 1.5

    Hi,
    [I]I am unsure whether to post this here or in a more specific forum, Mods please feel free to move.[/I]
    I am developing content for both web and desktop (inc Linux) distribution.
    I have a main.swf, which loads in content.swfs from sub folders.  I have some assets (movieclips) which are reused throughout the content swfs, so I have created a shared assets.swf which is in a directory at the same level as the content and within the library i have exported the MC for runtime sharing. 
    I then use this MC in other content swfs (Imported for runtime sharing).
    Folder structure looks like this:
    main.swf
    <assets>/content.swf
    <shared_assets>/assets.swf
    The import linkage URL to the assets swf within the Library properties of the content.swf is "shared_assets/assets.swf" as main.swf is loading content.swf so that is take as the reference point for the URL.
    Main.swf simply loads in <assets>/content.swf and adds it to the Stage.
    I build and run main.swf (targeting Flash Player 10) and my movie clip appears as I would expect.
    When I target Adobe Air 1.5 as the player - the movie clip does not appear as the path is incorrect for the linkage within content.swf looking for /assets/shared_assets/assets.swf rather then with FP looking for /shared_assets/assets.swf.  i.e. the Air runtime takes content.swf as the base where as Flash Player takes to root movie (Main.swf) as the base.
    Is it possible to set this base property for my Air distribution or am I stuck with having to have 2 version of all my content - one for web (FP) with the linkage as: "shared_assets/assets.swf", and one for desktop (Air) with the linkage as: "../shared_assets/assets.swf"?
    I have attached a simple example if my description is lacking (simply change the publish settings to target one or other player).
    Thanks for your time - any feedback is most welcome.

  • Flash Builder 4 compiles tests to Flash Player 9?

    Hi all,
    I seem to be running into a serious problem:
    Inside Flash Builder (262635) - Inside the package explorer - when I right click on a test suite and choose 'Execute FlexUnit Tests' - It seems to build the tests targetting flash player 9 and complains about 'Type was not found compile time constant: Vector'. Using the same test suite from an ant script that explicitly sets the target to be flash player 10 is fine, but I can't get it to work from insiode the IDE.
    Is there any way to tell the internal testing system to target flash player 10? My compiler for the project is set to target 10.
    Conrad

    Just got the same problem and, after reading this http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10 I solved it by changing target player in flex-config.xml (found in your_sdk/frameworks) to 10.0.0:
    <target-player>10.0.0</target-player>
    I suggest duplicating your existing SDK (presumably 3.5) to 3.5_10 and changing the flex-config.xml. That is if you have multiple projects in your workspace and you expect some of them to compile with fp 9.
    Let me know if it worked out.

  • FlexUnit + Flash Player 10.2

    Hi, all;
    I'm using FlashBuilder with FlexUnit to write unit tests on my core code that is used in Flash Pro projects. We can't control or dictate what version of the Flash Player users have, so we target Flash Player 10.2.
    In FB 4.6, we were able to specify the Flex 3.6 version of the SDK, and, with the exception of having to download the hamcrest matchers from Drew's github account, worked fine.
    However, we hired an intern and one of the tasks we wanted him to work on was to try to increase our test coverage. By the time he was hired, the current version of FB was 4.7. When you try to use FB 4.7 with the 3.6 SDK, you get "unable to open 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.flexunit_4.7.0.349722\flexunitSwcs\3.6\locale\ en_US\version3locale". There does appear to be a swc there, but it's not clear exactly why this isn't working.
    In addition, when I select "Execute FlexUnit Tests" from the right-click menu, I get a message that the correct version of the player is not installed. I have 10.3 installed according to the Adobe site, so this suggests to me that maybe the logic in FB that understands what version of the player is being targeted is not working exactly right in this scenario.
    I'd appreciate any thoughts anyone could offer.

    Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

  • Air SDK

    How can I install Air SDK on mac without writing commands in the terminal? It's confusing. I don't know anything about it. Every tutorial is different &amp; none of the codes I write works!!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You just need to download and extract the AIR SDK version that you want to use with Flash Professional.
    1. Download the version of the AIR SDK that you intend to use from Archived Adobe AIR SDK versions and extract
    2. In order to target the downloaded AIR SDK version in Flash Professional, Help>Manage Adobe AIR SDK...
    3. Click on + icon at the top right corner of the Manage Adobe AIR SDK dialog and choose the extracted folder of the downloaded AIR SDK
    4. Click OK
    5. Create a new AIR document (for Desktop / Android or iOS) and see the target is of the latest AIR SDK version
    Please note that the Manage Adobe AIR SDK option will only allow you to add the latest version of AIR SDK than the one installed along with Flash Professional.
    Thanks!
