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.

Developing for 'Air for TV' with Flash builder 4.5?

How can I target Adobe Air 2.5 when using Flash Builder 4.5 so I can develop for Adobe Air for TV?
When I change the app.xml file to point to 2.5, I get the following error:
"Namespace 2.5.0 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 2.6.0 required by Flex SDK."

I was finally able to get my app on a Samsung TV. Here's some more info on this subject. You actually have to overlay the Air 2.6 SDK - not the 2.5 SDK.
Also make sure when you finally package the TV app to change the application XML to point to 2.5,. During development you can leave it as 2.6.
@see http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/airquestions/AIR+for+TV
What tools do developers use to create AIR 2.5.1 apps for TVs?
Developers can use the following tools:
AIR 2.6 SDK
Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5 (now an integral feature in Flash Professional CS5.5)
Flash Builder 4.5
Note: Developers can use the AIR 2.6 SDK for developing apps for AIR 2.5.1 for TV. In Flash Professional, set the publish settings to Adobe AIR 2.5. In Flash Builder, set the AIR namespace to 2.5 in the app descriptor file:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">.
If you are using Flash Builder 4.5, you must do the following:
Download the Flex 4.1.0.16076 SDK.
Download the AIR 2.6 SDK.
Copy each file from the AIR 2.6 SDK into the corresponding directory within the Flex 4.1 SDK, replacing the Flex original variants.
To use this SDK within Flash Builder, select your project in the Flash Builder package explorer.
Choose Project > Properties to open the project's Properties dialog box.
Select Flex Compiler in the list and then click the "Configure Flex SDKs" link to open the Preferences dialog box.
Click the Add button, browse to the SDK, and then click OK until you get back to the project's Properties dialog box.
Click the "Use a specific SDK" option and then pick Flex 4.1 from the drop-down menu.
You must also replace the default WindowedApplication element with Application in your project's MXML file.

Error creating files. Compilation failed... when publishing iOS app with AIR 3.1 and Flash 11.5.1

Hello, I'm running Windows 7. I'm using Flash 11.5.1 (that's CS5.5 updated once) and AIR 3.1 to make an iPhone app.
I can export the app perfectly fine with either Ctrl+Enter or F12.
I added all the required things with AIR for iOS settings, such as a p12 certificate and icon files.
I then hit publish. After I hit publish, I got this error:
Error creating files.
Compilation failed...
I tried dragging the window to see if there was anything hidden behind the elipses. What can I do to fix this problem?

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?

Did a bit more research on this and moving iTunes isn't enough. You will only get the iTunes library and not data like contacts, etc. You should take both computers to the apple store. They will migrate your data from one to the other for you.

? Flash CS4, Is it possible to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once?

Hi,
I am using Flash CS4. Is there any way to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once? I am doing an animation of leaves falling from a tree. The leaves alone have 17 separate timelines on separate layers plus each has it's own guide layer.
If I had the ability to to select all of the timelines together and adjust all of their respective start and end times at the same same time, relative to each other as well as separately, life would be so much easier!
Of course I can do it timeline by timeline, no problem, but I can't seem to adjust the length of more than one timeline at a time. (no pun intended)
Even when I select more than one timeline, the double arrow only adjusts the length of one timeline. Even each guide layer's length has to be adjusted separately. I understand the benefit of this, but, testing timing and making adjustments would be so much simpler and go so much faster if I could select and drag multiple timeline lengths at the same time.
Is there any way to do this?
I'm new to Flash so, thanks in advance for your patience with me!
SabelV

Thanks! I had a feeling. It's nice to have the answer. Oh well, now I can get back to work and not waste any more time with that part of the puzzle. You've been very helpful and I'm sure your answer is correct. Wish I knew how to rate your answer even higher. Thanks again!

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.

Drawing with ActionScript3.0(Sprite) in Flash CS4

Hi,
I wanted to make a scene, similar to a little game.
I included:
A character with an Instance Name "character_mc"
A box1 with an Instance Name "hp_mc" (hp for health points)
And a second box2 with an Instance Name "dmg_mc" (dmg for damage)
Now I used this code to make it draw a health bar for me:
     var hp:Number = 100 //note this is not the complete code just the piece I want to focus on
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hpBar);
function hpBar(event:Event):void{
     if(character_mc.hitTestObject(hp_mc)){
          hp+=1
     }else if(character_mc.hitTestObject(dmg_mc)){
          hp-=1
     var bar:Sprite = new Sprite();
     bar.graphics.beginFill(0x33ff00);
     bar.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, hp, 15)
     bar.graphics.endFill();
     addChild(bar);
It draws me 100 pixel health, and when the character moves on the box1(hp_mc)
I can see the health increasing (more and more pixels are drawn)
The problem starts here.
When I move my character onto the box2(dmg_mc). It does subtract and eventually draw in the negative, but it does not erase what was drawn before.
How can I code this to have the same function but erases the previous drawing?
Any seggestions are wellcome.
~Thanks for help and advice ~

I believe you are looking for the clear() function. Note, I also moved the bar variable declaration out of the function so that you don't reinitialize it unnecessarily, as well as the addChild so you only add the bar to the stage once.
var hp:Number = 100 //note this is not the complete code just the piece I want to focus on
var bar:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(bar);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hpBar);
function hpBar(event:Event):void{
     if(character_mc.hitTestObject(hp_mc)){
          hp+=1
     }else if(character_mc.hitTestObject(dmg_mc)){
          hp-=1
     bar.graphics.clear();//
     bar.graphics.beginFill(0x33ff00);
     bar.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, hp, 15)
     bar.graphics.endFill();

Hi, im trying to hook up my mac book 7,1 to an older tv with red white n yellow cables. is this possible. if so what would i need to buy?

HI again. im trying to hook my mac book up to my tv. its an older tv that has hook up for yellow red n white cables. if this is possible please tell me what i need to do so. thank you

If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. The only adapters with Composite are the older Mini-DVI adapters. (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.).
You’ll could try a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to
And then a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
I don't know if that would work but it's the only way I would know.

The three main hurdles to porting existing Flash projects to iOS with AIR

The purpose of this discussion is to identify significant problems currently preventing AIR for iOS from being a viable solution for porting existing Flash apps. These issues have been largely ignored by Adobe, so I hope that everyone will add to this discussion if you have also run into these roadblocks in targeting iOS with the AIR SDK. I hope that Adobe staff will address and provide some much needed information with regard to fixing these problems.
There are 3 main problems with targeting iOS currently, which are probably affecting anyone who is trying to port a project that is both medium to large in size and makes use of SWF loading. Pretty much any project that has a MVC architecture is going to load SWF assets that are compiled against a view class, so this is likely affecting many people.
1. Bug - ADT packager runs out of memory when packaging "large" numbers of SWF assets
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3511656
This is a blocking bug that prevents packaging projects with a large number of SWF assets. It is preventing me from being able to package all the needed assets for my project. I provided Adobe with my project to package a couple months ago so this bug can be reproduced in house and fixed. The Adobe employee who was handling this never tried to reproduce the issue and has stopped responding to email and comments in the bug. Adobe, please have someone take charge of testing and fixing this bug. It seems like it would be a straightforward fix once the failure is reproduced within a debugger.
Has anyone who has encountered this problem determined the number of files or classes where it starts to fail. I've spent some time trying to reverse engineer what the packager is doing when it runs out of memory, so think I can determine how many classes it's working with, but obviously the size of the classes will be variable and so this number will probably be more of a range where we start to get into the failure state.
Please let me know if you can reproduce this issue with your project with many SWF assets and upvote the bug if you are already aware of this one.
2. Bug - SWF reloading when doing a "real" (AOT) compile
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3636385
There is already a forum post that covers the history of this issue (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4920638) but that also covers some issues in older AIR builds with loading of any SWF asset (previously fixed), where this bug deals specifically with reloading of SWF assets that include compiled bytecode (ABC).
The expectation here is that all versions of the Flash runtime should handle SWF reloading with ABC in the same way, so that a single codebase can be used to target web and iOS (or any other platform). This is the only issue of the 3 that has a legitimate work around, in my opinion, because the assets can be cached within the app within a loading manager layer. All the application code that makes loading calls can stay the same, and a compiler flag can be used to enable this caching for iOS builds, with subsequent requests returning a new instance of the cached asset. This can potentially lead to a very bloated memory footprint for the running app after a period of time, though, which could make some apps perform poorly, so a bugfix is ultimately needed.
3. Unimplemented feature (?) - The constraint that a single ApplicationDomain is used when running AIR for iOS
I did ask about this in the same forum post as SWF reloading but didn't get an Adobe response. Why does this constraint exist? My guess is that the AIR runtime for iOS simply hasn't implemented multiple ApplicationDomain support at this point, and that this was done to focus resources on other high priority features for the iOS runtime. It's possible that there is some aspect of the iOS operating system that makes it difficult or impossible to implement this feature, which may be why it's been avoided to this point, but obviously this is all conjecture without hearing from Adobe on it.
This is a major issue that needs to be addressed. For us, the problem is that our SWFs for multiple instances of the same type of asset use the same name for the AS export. For example, each item an avatar can equip is a single SWF with multiple sub assets -- the parts which comprise the item. Each of the parts will have an AS export name based on the avatar facing and where it is equipped, like "fv_head". This naming is consistent across all items, so we will load a lot of assets containing "fv_head" simultaneously. This normally works fine because the default behavior for Flash has always been that each SWF is loaded into a new ApplicationDomain instance, but for iOS a single ApplicationDomain must be used, causing these names to collide. The last SWF loaded containing a given AS export name overwrites the previous ones of that name.
The work around for this, and I use that term loosely, is to go through and uniquely name every AS export in every asset where sets of assets with the same export name is used. For us that is hundreds of items with multiple exports. Maintaining unique naming across all these parts is also a very error prone process, not to mention all the code that manipulates the parts needs to be modified to handle the new naming and make sure it's referring to the now uniquely named assets.
The expectation here is that all versions of the Flash runtime should handle asset loading in the same way and place each loaded asset into its own ApplicationDomain container as the default behavior. I'd like an Adobe employee to address my assumption that this is an unimplemented feature of AIR for iOS at this point, and let the community know if a solution for this will be implemented.
Summary
All three of these issues in combination are a major roadblock to porting existing Flash games to iOS with AIR. Issues with one can make it hard to test and try to work around others. All need to be fixed, but If I could only pick one of these to fix, it would have to be issue 3 -- that lack of proper ApplicationDomain support when loading assets. This issue is completely inconsistent with standard Flash behavior and creates a major roadblock to ports of existing applications with no viable solution for a workaround.
I look forward to Adobe's feedback on each of these issues and hopefully fixes that will allow those of us working with AIR for iOS to get our products to market.

About the 3rd issue being an AoT design limitation, I'm not sure I understand why it's necessary to know during AoT packaging what the domain is that a child will be loaded into to be able to have SWF loading work as on the browser.
Isn't the ApplicationDomain an internal construct in the AIR runtime that you guys define in order to manage namespaces of loaded SWFs? To be clear, when I say "runtime" I know that the resulting code isn't being interpreted within the iOS app, but clearly you have a set of AIR libraries that get compiled into the IPA that provides support for all the Flash APIs. If that's the case, then wouldn't it be possible for the iOS version of the AIR libraries to define a new ApplicationDomain on the fly when code that has been cross-compiled to iOS native code loads a packaged SWF?
I don't have a clear picture of how ApplicationDomains are managed internal to the runtime of course, but a little more detail would be very helpful. Thanks.
