Building flash app for flash 5.5

Hi
I saw there was an update for flash buiilder 4.5 to add in support for RIM playbook.
Can I build for Playbook in Flash Pro rather than flash builder? or is it only available in Flex?

Ah, I see!
The <autoOrients> node (along with several others) occours twice in the generated -app.xml file. Do not un-comment the first instance, instead edit the parameters set in the second already un-commented autoOrients node.
This fixed the error in my application as well.
Thank you rblaa.

What would it take for someone to build an app for my business?

I am looking for someone to build an app for my business....

You can hire people to build your app for you, but it will cost you. Now how deep you will dig into your pockets will depend on the complexity of your app. Try a company called azurasoft but be cautious dont get suckered into anything

Building Multiple Apps for Distribution Advisory

Has anyone read the "Building Multiple Apps for Distribution and Validating Your Distribution Builds" advisory yet? Am I the only one who's jaw is dropping that they've changed the rules again?
See here's the thing... I've already released an iPhone application. What is going to happen if I submit an updated version of the application using a new distribution profile? Is that going to cause problems for my customers? In other words, is the upgrade process going to work for them? How do I know the answers to these questions?
Furthermore... the instructions reference "company name". What are individual developers supposed to do? My application was already rejected at least twice because I had "iPhone Distribution: Developer Name" in the Code Signing Identity field instead of just "iPhone Distribution". Now you're telling me this has changed? Could you just confirm that please, before I go through another week+ of submission ****?
And seriously, could we get a show of hands: What developer here thinks they'll never want to develop more than one application for the iPhone?
Sorry, but my mind is just boggling.

This gives rise to a few questions for me as well.
We currently have one application in the App Store (app 1) and is looking to launch a second (app 2).
App 1 is signed with a distribution provisioning (pp 1) created particularity for that app before the new guidelines and is in the App Store.
We have created a new distribution provisioning profile (pp 2) for a wildcard app ID as advised in the new guidelines. This will be used going forward.
Questions:
1. Will we need to rebuild the old App 1 signed with the new wildcard provisioning (pp 2) and resubmit it to iTunes Connect testing in order to get both apps running at the same time? Seems impractical.
2. Can app 2 be assigned any valid app-id (e.g. com.mycompany.newapp) created in the program portal in its info.plist file?
3. If there at a later stage is a new version of app 1 should it be built with the new profile (pp 2) instead of the one used originally for that app (pp 1)?
I can see in the program portal that the old pp 1 (non-wildcard) expires 10/02/2008 while the newly created pp 2 is valid way into 2009.
Looking forward to know the answers to these questions - as are a lot of developers who had titles for the App Store launch and is currently putting new ones out I would imagine.
Thanks.

Question about building an app for a single ad hoc distribution

Say I want to build and app and send the app, along with a provisioning profile, to somebody to install via iTunes for beta testing.
The "Ad Hoc" panel says the following:
Ad Hoc distribution allows you to share your application with up to 100 iPhone or iPod touch users, and to distribute your application through email or by posting it to a web site or server. To prepare your application, the following steps will need to be completed.
Create and Download an iPhone Distribution Certificate
Create and Download an Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile
Build your application with Xcode
Share your application file and the Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile with the owner of each device
Recipients of the application will need to drag the application file and Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile into iTunes, then sync their iPhone to iTunes to install
My question is, do I have to build the application in the extremely complicated way described in the "distribution" tab which says "only the team agent" can do? Or is that for a mass distribution?
Can I build my app like I do for the simulator and just send that along with the provisioning profile to the other person by email?
What is the absolute easiest way of doing this sort of ad hoc distribution?
Thanks!
doug

Another development device? I don't even have one yet.
The person I'm developing with has one though.
It turns out all that needed to be done was:
(1) Build using the iPhone OS setting instead of the Simulator setting.
(2) Set the provisioning profile.
Then using the app and profile, just drop them on top of the apps section in iTune and synch.
That's all there was too it. I didn't need to use all the 11 steps in the distribution section for just the ad hoc distribution, I'm happy to say!

We have always used custom excel and other PDF files how do we build an app for ipad

apart from the "mac" what else do I need as I only want 1 license of the resulting app and as it is an inhouse app paying a developer and getting volume license is too expensive. Or is all extras in the dev pack issued by Apple

it is only for myself to use in the business on a day to day basis
The app is to collect 5-6 types of data that currently we have to write down each time we do certain processes with work
current example new page new day so 300+ sheets per year with 1-3 lines of writing on
initials of employee - product made - added ingredients batch numbers 4-5 columns - total made
this type of capture should be ideal for ipad with scroll or number input and each day new form saves the planet as well
our only issue is we have all custom programs and equipment based round XP pro systems and cannot go to touchscreen windows 8 with any of our old custom software hence going to custom app as keyboards are not possible in our industry due to hygiene issues unless stainless and silicon coated at $700 each

Help Building my first app for iphone??

Hi
I have started building an app for iphone using Adobe Flash CS5.
Please help me answer to my stupid( ) questions.
1) Everytime I try exporting an ipa, even a blank file with just a static text field result in a 3mb ipa. Is it normal or can we optimize it further for iphone.
2) Any good tester/website/programs to test your ipa in different versions of iphone(3g,3gs, ipod 2g,ipad)etc.
3) My app is made on 1 frame and all the code is written inside the same fla (no separate as file). I hope that doesn't effect app performance or selection criteria?
4) few points on do's/don't when submitting apps to appStore for apps build in flash. Or any idea of any flash apps dissapproved because of any certain reasons.
That will be all, will really help understand iphone development better.,
Thanks

Hi,
To answer your question:
1. it's normal.
2. I didn't understand what are you trying to ask here.
3. Using OOP is always better but coding in the .fla first frame should be fine.
4. before you start building your app make sure to read apple's review guidlines and you should be fine - http://stadium.weblogsinc.com/engadget/files/app-store-guidelines.pdf

Building an AppCloud App for use within your organization only.

I am re-posting this from, Register your App because, it was a good point this should have been a separate discussion.

I am trying to get more details on how to Build/Register "Private" AppCloud Apps and confirm at design time that we can deploy our in-house AppCloud Apps on several of our Eloqua instances without publishing them.
My assumption is that one would setup the App under the Provider section for each of the Eloqua instances so that each Eloqua Instance can see and install our our in-house private app and use it without publishing. I worry about this method because it give the impression the AppCloud App is in development or testing.
Or
I was hoping there was some way to officially register our app so we are using a production workflow but our app is not published or listed anywhere?
T.J. Fields Jul 14, 2014 6:06 PM (in response to Scott Kent)
Hi Scott,
The best practice here would be for you to:
1. Register as a Provider in a development instance of Eloqua.
2. Build out your app and Register it, along with your Service(s) under that Provider.
3. Whitelist any Eloqua client installs that you wish to allow to use your App. Do this by clicking the Publish to Another Site button.
4. Give the App install URL (found at the bottom of the App Details page under Catalog) to any of those clients that you whitelisted to use your app.
This way, only those clients that you've specified will be able to install and use your App, and it's not listed anywhere. You could also click the Publish to App Cloud button, which simply whitelists every install. The App will never actually be listed anywhere, as there is not yet a mechanism in the framework to do this. The only way to find and install your App is by using that install URL, so you'd have to give it out.
If you are a client that is building an App for use within your organization, you could also use your company's Eloqua install to register your provider, but as a development partner, your developer instance is intended to be used to register and manage your services.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, scott.kent ! I'm sure many will benefit from your great post!

Can a demonstration App for a make believe business be placed in App Store?

Can a demonstration App for a make believe business be placed in App Store as an App Dev sales tool, or likely to not go through? I am experienced launching real Apps but not in this new category of business interest. Let’s say hypothetically I want to sell DPS Apps to small restaurants who want to share menus, atmosphere photos, etc. As a demonstration tool, can I make up a restaurant name, use royalty free restaurant stock and have a related demo App as a client sales tool and expect that to make it into the Apps Store? If not, any suggestions other than Adobe Content viewer alone to have a demo tool that clients can see working like a native App to help me get started?

I haven't tried it but my guess is that full on dummy app would probably have problems getting through the review process.
What you could try is building an app for your business, and within the app having a section that is devoted to the dummy app, showing off the functionality you offer.
I could see that still having a few potential problems, but it seems like it would be a lot more likely to get through the review process.

Building an app that interacts with a pc game

Hi
I am wanting to build an app for a racing sim game.
I have no experience or knowledge of how to even start something like this.
So I would like to ask if it is possible to use adobe software to build an app that can take a stream from a game and display it as an additional screen on a tablet "Blackberry Playbook, is what I am wanting to use".
For example...
In the racing sim, I am wanting to use the rear view feed from the cockpit of the car and link it to a tablet to use as an additional screen. This would give the user the ability to move the rear view of the screen to where ever is comfortable to view.
I know that in the blackberry playbook, I can stream videos and music from my desktop pc to my tablet through splashtop HD.
All or any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Adrian

If you look at Squared5's website, you'll see that it does, in fact, offer a Windows version - here:

Create office app for word using visual studio 2013

Mohamed Abdeen

Hi Mohamed Abdeen,
Please try to enable a build-in app for Office, such as "Bing dictionary" and check if the task pane pop-up.
If the "Bing dictionary" works well, I suppose that this issue might be caused by itself. I recommend you post the question to Word for DEV forum:

If all the apps can't be used, they might be blocked. Please go to File/option/trust center/trusted app catalogs/enable it.

Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP - show variable from PHP in app

I have searched for hours and I can't figure this out…
Is there a way to somehow "echo" my PHP code in my MXML file ?
I know you can't echo something from PHP to MXML, so here's what I have done :
I get my informations from my database, I need to show an image and its title, so I put the following code in a variable :
<mx:Image id="laniraBlanche" x="25" y="65" width="210" height="126" source="'.$row->image_mini.'" click="selectLaniraBlanche()" rollOver="seePicture()" rollOut="outPicture()" /> <s:Label x="25" y="155.85" text="'.$row->nom.'" width="210" textAlign="center" height="37" fontSize="19" backgroundColor="#676666" verticalAlign="middle" fontFamily="Georgia" color="#FFFFFF" click="selectLaniraBlanche()" rollOver="seePicture()" id="laniraBlancheTxt" rollOut="outPicture()" />'
Then, I return that variable.
I find the function where my var created is returned from the "Data/Service" tab, I am on Design mode on Flash Builder, and I "drop" my function where I want my image and text to show on my app.
I tryed dropping it in a "group", it doesn't show anything. I tryed several other options, and nothing worked.
So my question is, how could I have this code created in PHP show on my application ?
Thank you for your help

I also have Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and the ANT view does not show when going to Window -> Show View --> Other. I could not find it in any of the folders.
However, I was able to add it by hitting Command 3 (CTRL 3 on PC) and typing Ant.

Should I use Flash Builder to develop for iOS?

We have a sizable AIR application built using Flash Builder 4.5 that is deployed on Windows and Mac. We tried to package it for Android and it simply failed to run at all. Apparently there are many namespaces not supported on Android. We've since stopping concerning ourselves with Android because the vast majority of our clients only care about iPad when it comes to tablets.
So, the question I have that remains very elusive to me is: do I attempt to build an iPad version of our product on our existing AS3/Flex code base using Flash Builder, or should I port over to xcode and go native iOS? All the marketing I see surrounding Flash Builder says that you can build apps for iPad. But just how practical is this for anything more than trivial apps? Adobe AIR is supported on Android and it failed to work, which doesn't give me much confidence in trying to make this work on an iPad. Now that Adobe is moving away from Flex does it make any sense to even attempt this?
What say you Adobe?
Thanks

Where is Flash builder 4.6 for php ?

Hello,
I found flash builder 4.5 for php and flash builder 4.6, where is flash builder 4.6 for php ?

Is it really that difficult to add Flash Builder 4.6 as a plugin to Zend Studio? I did that for a long time prior to Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP, which is essentially the same thing. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist. =/
On that note, if you own Flash Builder 4.6 and don't feel like shelling out the extra money for Zend Studio or waiting for Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP, then it's really as simple as adding Flash Builder as a plugin to Ecliplse for PHP using PDT. Also, doesn't take a rocket scientist. Personally, I don't see the big deal myself. I don't even bother with using Zend Studio anymore and prefer to use Komodo Edit since it's autocomplete features are awesome and it's very quick at auto complete by simply adding a folder for your favorite PHP apps from different frameworks to different content management systems. Furthermore, there is still support in Flash Builder 4.6 to connect to a PHP data service if you really just want to create some automated code. Ultimately though, I don't understand why anyone would use amf.ini or the default options in production.
Rather than pointing to the default endpoint, if you're using a framework in the first place, it makes a lot more sense to setup a service controller and have the endpoint point to that such as index.php/services/amf (or if you're like me and prefer cleaner url's modify .htaccess to remove index.php). The bottom line is there really was nothing great about Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP. Alot of things were broken for one and it was far easier to use the datawizard which still exists for testing purposes.
After that, you should be focusing on deploying the applicaiton for production, and adjusting the settings in the Zend Framework to create a new project the correct way, dumping your HTML file to a view along with the swf file, and it may be a good idea to point the HTML file to swfobject on the Google Ajax Libraries page. Everything else is a cakewalk.
In other news, if you'd like a ligher footprint than using the entire Zend Framework, why not use something like CodeIgniter and create the necesssary hooks to use Zend AMF?

Transition from my firefox extension to a Flash Builder desktop app

Trying to make a slow transistion from my firefox extension to a Flash Builder desktop app.
Okay i'm not familiar on how to go about this I have js code that lets my app sync it self with the lates build it looks for a new version number which is in a txt file. Inside the txt file I have 0.0.0 so evertime I change the version number to 0.0.1. The app checks for new updates and sees the txt file has a new version number and start to pull in the zip file and extrudes the zip into the directory.
I can't get my head around on how to modify this code ["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].getService
to look in the root directory of my Flash Builder app.
function Xcalibur_Sync(){
    document.documentElement.getButton("accept").disabled = true;
    var Cc = Components.classes;
    var Ci = Components.interfaces;
    var url = xcaliburGetUnicharPref("extensions.xcalibur.downloadurl");
    var Step1 = document.getElementById("xcalStep1");
    var Step1done = document.getElementById("xcalStep1Done");
    var Step2 = document.getElementById("xcalStep2");
    var Step2done = document.getElementById("xcalStep2Done");
    var Step3 = document.getElementById("xcalStep3");
    var Step3done = document.getElementById("xcalStep3Done");
    var Step4 = document.getElementById("xcalStep4");
    var Step4done = document.getElementById("xcalStep4Done");
    var xcalSyncDone = document.getElementById("xcalSyncDone");
    var progressMeter = document.getElementById("xcalProgressMeter");
    var progressPct = document.getElementById("xcalProgressPct");
// Get Xcalibur version and location
    var GUID = "[email protected]"
    var gExtensionManager = Cc["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].getService(Ci.nsIExtensionManager);
//var currentVersion = gExtensionManager.getItemForID(GUID).version;
    var currentVersion = xcaliburPrefs.getCharPref("extensions.xcalibur.installedversion");
    var xcaliburdir = gExtensionManager.getInstallLocation(GUID).getItemLocation(GUID);
    var file = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsILocalFile);
    file.initWithPath(xcaliburdir.path);
    //Step 1 - See if an update is available
    Step1.setAttribute("hidden", "false");
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open('GET', url+"CRV.txt", false);
    try{
        req.send(null);
    }catch(e){
        alert("Cannot get update information from "+url+"CRV.txt\n"+e.toString()+"\n\nSync aborted ...");
        window.close();
        return false;
    }//try
    if(req.status == 200){
        var CRV = req.responseText;
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Ish

Have you taken a look at the documentation on updating AIR applications?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff2. html
Or is it something else you wish to do? You can access the directory where your app is installed by looking at File.applicationDirectory and you can hit a URL by using URLRequest.
