Android Development - When I test a movie, flash is no longer generating an APK file.

The only thing I get is a swf file. I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android, I have my certificate, I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly. Am I missing something? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Flash loves to forget the path it should publish to. This has been a newbish thing they have never fixed, ever. Go in your settings and make sure the SWF and the publish location of the APK are in the place you expect every single time you ever start Flash. By that I mean don't look at the path, press the browse button and guide to the correct path regardless what it says every time. Adobe should have fixed this issue forever ago. That wouldn't pass my development testing standards, let alone alpha, beta, RC or gold. It's just a really stupid issue.
Otherwise if you get no errors I see no reason you're not generating an APK.

  • Can anyone help, when I test my movie and when it is uploaded it comes out about 60% of the original size. how can I stop this?

    When I test the movie or upload it to the server i comes out about 60% of the full size. I do not have it scaled with the window size and I have tried everything I can think of to get it to 100%. Why should it come out smaller? I am using an iMac and CS4 professional.

    thank you for asking for more info.
    The file I am loading is the SWF file plus the index.HTML file, but the problem still happens when I test the movie before uploading it.
    I have not modified the HTML file.
    shall I send you the file?

  • Android development with Air 2.5 with Flash CS4 is this possible?

    Can anyone point me where or fill me in on if this is possible which I think it is... I need to figure out how to set up flash cs4 with the AIR 2.5 SDK  Because I think it is possible to still build the air app in cs4 and then package it for android using the sdk adt.bat??? Any tutorials or info on this would be great I'm struggling to find any real clear answers everything really mentions cs5 or flash builder... Thanks answers greatly appreciated!!!

    This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
    You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
    Goodluck.
    How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
    If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
    Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
    Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
    Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
    Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
    Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
    Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
    Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
    Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
    Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
    In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

  • My text layer mask is not working when I test it

    My text layer mask does not appear when I test the movie. The
    mask works move the key along the timeline, but when I test the
    movie nothing shows up. I'm doing exactly the same thing I do when
    I mask images. I actually imported an image to the text layer and
    the mask worked correctly. What am I doing wrong?

    provide a link the fla - make sure your text layer is truly
    linked to the Mask layer. What is the
    font? Did you try breaking apart the font until it becomes
    raw shapes? not that you want to do that
    but save as with new name - try it and if it still doesnt
    work, then the issue is not with your font.

  • No longer audio on .avi files when attempting to use Elements 9

    I have compiled 20 years of videos from family videos and converted them to .avi files.  I now want to edit these files into other smaller videos to give to my children.  I have Premiere Elements 9.  When I get one of these files using PE9 there is no longer audio on them. 
    There is audio if I play them on Windows Media Player but no audio on Quicktime Player. 
    I can edit in Windows Movie Maker but not in PE9.
    The Quicktime Player states the following:
    Format: Motion JPEG Open DML, 640 x 480, millions
    Movie FPS 29.97
    Playing FPS 29.97
    Data Size 1.94 gb
    Data Rate 8.67 mbits/sec
    Normal Size 640 x 480 pixels
    Current Size 640 x 480 pixels
    I have a Dell Inspiron 530, 4.0 gb RAM, 32- Bit Windows Vista system.  Plenty of Hard Drive availability.
    I purchased PE9 because I thought it would be superior to Windows Movie Maker.  Very frustrated.

    Hi Bill,
    The .avi file is a compilation of videos from multiple cameras from over the years.  There is no 1 camera.  That is why I am confused here.

    What camera produced the MJPEG files, wrapped in the AVI container? The reason that I ask this, is because camera mfgrs. love to tweak CODEC's, and some take that tweaking to an extreme. If you have the utility disc, that came with the camera, it is probably best to install their particular version of the MJPEG CODEC. The Morgan, or the MainConcept might work OK, but having the exact version, from the camera mfgr. will get you as close, as is possible, and will save having to buy an MJPEG CODEC, that might not be perfect. Now, on that utility disc, one might have one of three possible choices: The MJPEG CODEC might be a separate installationThe MJPEG CODEC might install along with the camera's driverThe MJPEG CODEC might install with an included editing/cataloguing program (most common nowadays), and even if you do not use that utility, having the proper version of the MJPEG CODEC installed on the system, will get you as close, as is possible Good luck, and let us know if you have the utility disc for that camera.

  • Is there any difference in an android .apk file developed with flex/flash?

    Is there any difference in an android .apk file developed with flash compared to one developed with flex?
    I just made a test application and the textinput reaction time is way too slow. I used Flash to build it.

    Thank for the response.
    What I actually wanted know though was if there is a difference between an android app developed with falsh cs5 compared to an app developed with flash builder 4.

  • Crashing flash 8 on test of movie...

    Hey... this is my first significant actionscript
    application... and i'm almost done with it, but i've gotten to the
    point where it crashes flash 8 when I test it... not just the
    player, it crashes the whole application. I'm starting to go
    through and check for bugs, but i just thought I'd post what I
    added to the actionscript today in the forums and see if anyone
    notices a blatent error.
    i haven't cleaned up this code yet... there are lots of
    comments, but it may not be as elegant as I want it to be yet...
    I'm not looking for you to spend too much time helping me make it
    work... just look for syntax or method errors - typos or things i
    should change about how i'm writing code.
    Thanks for looking!

    Hm, I just tried this code, no crash here. Just loaded the
    mcLargeTray image, works fine. So it might not be this part that's
    crashing it...
    Just an idea: check if the .jpgs aren't progressive. Don't
    know if this may crash Flash, but there are problems with
    progressive .jpgs.
    Some other things I noticed:
    You create some empty MCs in children of the root MC, but you
    use the nextHighestDepth of the root for them. Inside the children,
    there's an own depth count, so it's a bit strange to use root's
    depths. Shouldn't be a problem, just thought I tell.
    Another, more important mistake is in the positioning code:
    the width property of MCs is called _width, not width.
    Apart from that, the code looks quite good. I would try to
    comment it out and uncomment it bit by bit and test the movie,
    maybe you can narrow the problem down to a smaller part this way.
    Good luck!

  • Problems when trying to test/export movie

    Hello. I'm working with Flash CS3. When I test a scene, all
    work just fine, but when I try to test movie, or export the swf
    file the process stops suddenly and nothing happens.
    Do you know what might be causing this? I already tried to
    uninstall flash player and intall previous versions as well, but
    not working. Yesterday, I managed to export movie just once, but
    now is seems permanent!!
    In my fla file I have 9 scenes and the file size is about
    50mb.
    Thanks

    If your entire file size is 50 MB, your exporter is likely
    just running really slow. Think of it like rendering a video, the
    more stuff you have the longer it takes to export. Flash often
    appears "non-responsive" during the export if there is a lot of
    processing that has to happen. It may even slow your computer down
    a bit. I suggest trying to wait for a while (like up to 10 minutes)
    for the export to finish, before determining it is actually
    unresponsive.
    My Flash CS3 also slows down sometimes, when have a lot of
    programs open and using RAM, the export sometimes slips into
    unresponsive mode, but then comes back on around 30 seconds to 1
    minute later. My file size is < 1MB too, so patience may be your
    saving grace.
    Another option would be to make a new swf player, that can
    load each of the 9 scenes as separate swfs. This may be better for
    you in the end anyways, as 50 MB is VERY large for the web. Then
    you could export each scene individually as its own swf, and load
    those swfs as needed into a player.

  • My curser keeps on vanishing, when I don't move it for a second (vanishing not flashing)it only seems to happen in Firefox, I've tried pressing f7 to no avail

    My curser/ pointer keeps on vanishing, when I don't move or touch my mouse for a second, it's vanishing not flashing it only seems to happen in Firefox, I've tried pressing f7 but it makes no difference. Please help it's driving me nuts

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I can test my movie using flash, but it doesnt play on my website

    I have an FLA file containing action script that I am able to
    test with no problems. But when I convert the movie to an SWF and
    put it on my website, I cant see anything. Anyone know why this is
    happening?
    Thanks

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

    I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

    Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
    It could be a problem the video rendering itself.  Which software did you use?
    Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
    Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

  • Preloader gets stuck when I test movie

    The preloader was the first thing I coded before I started designing the next frames, and it initially worked when it was the only frame, but after adding stuff to the next frames, the preloader keeps getting stuck at 30% everytime i test the movie, i'm clueless.
    here's the code if it helps
    stop();
    enter_mc.visible=false;
    enter_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);
    function goHome(e:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop("2");
    this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preload);
    var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
    var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
    function preload(e:Event):void {
    preAnim_mc.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((loaded/total)*100))
    prog_text.text = Math.floor((loaded/total)*100)+ "% loaded";
    if (total == loaded) {
    preAnim_mc.visible = false;
    prog_text.visible = false;
    enter_mc.visible = true;
    it never gets to the if statement

    Try moving that if section of code inside the preload function.  It probably gets to the if statement, but just once when the file first starts, but since it won't pass the if(test) at that point it appears to not execute... as standalone code there is nothing to make it continually execute.

  • 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
