Desktop AIR 2.5 application with transparency and embedded Flash with wmode transparency error

I'm working on a desktop AIR project using the 2.5 SDK (ADT) to create an application that combines html and flash content. My application is using systemChrome none and transparent true. I have an swf element in my html file that I have set to wmode transparent. Instead of the swf rendering with a transparent background and showing the desktop like the html content does, I'm seeing a black box that fills the area where the Flash element is embedded.
Can someone please assist me in removing this black square so that my flash content is rendered within the html file with a transparent background instead of a black background?
When the AIR application is set to transparent, the Flash content must have it's wmode set to either transparent or opaque. Opaque gives it a white background (the stage background color), but transparent seems to just give it a black background.
Thanks!

Ok fellas,
It appears that I have indeed answered my own question. So thanks... uh, me As I've now figured out, the entire AIR application is basically still a Flash based Display Object, one that can render html using webkit. That means that even though my main application is written in HTML I can still load swf files into the display list of the root applications native window using the Loader class.
I had mentioned earlier that this didn't work, but actually it did work I was just having an error. In my flash file I had a reference error because I was referencing stage.stageWidth in actionscript. This produces a typeError in the AIR runtime when I add this to the root display list. I was able to finally see this error by add the -nodebug command to my adl testing script (adl app.xml -nodebug). For whatever reason my AIR 2.5 adl would not produce air.trace calls to the cmd console without that -nodebug command, which is extremely ironic. So adding in the -nodebug command actually gave me my debug traces! Welcome to the world we live in folks... I also found out that my traces in the swf also trace out to the console when you add this command in there.
In addition, the reason I was not able to get the Loader class to work from javascript was because I was not using the correct addEventListener call. If you are familiar with Actionscript 3.0 (which luckily I am) you will recall that you have to add the event listener to the "contentLoaderInfo" object of the Loader variable you instanciate.
Here's a snippet of how I was able to do this as well as another link that is buried in the documentation that's useful:
var loader;
loader = new air.Loader();
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("test.swf");
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
loader.load( new air.URLRequest(file.url) );
function swfLoaded(evt) {
     air.trace(" SWF LOADED! Woohoo! ");
     air.trace( loader.numChildren );
     loader.width = 1000;
     loader.height = 800;
     loader.x = 0;
     loader.y = 0;
     window.nativeWindow.stage.addChild(loader);
This is a very useful article on creating nativeWindows and other things, such as creating Flash based display objects and adding them to the stage:

Woohoo!

  • AIR 2.0 application with 2.5 Runtime Installation Error

    Hi there,

    Some background on the application I'm trying to install:
    1. The application descriptor file points at the 2.0 version of the runtime. The application I'm trying to install has been packaged as a dmg.
    2. I already have the 2.5 version of the AIR runtime installed on this machine, so I'm not sure why there are references to the EULA in the log file.
    3. I'm not actively double clicking on the dmg file. The .dmg is actually being installed by a third party application via the command line.
    Any ideas on what could be happening here or can you offer any remedial action on how to get this application installed correctly?
    Thanks
    Sean

    Thanks for the responses guys,
    The third party application is passing a -silent and -location flag to when launching the application.

  • GPO Deployement of Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1 fail with the following error: user cancelled installation

    Hello everybody,
    I get an issue when i try to deploy the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Software using a Group Policy Objetc.
    The package tries to install a the computer's startup but i can't find the product installed.
    On the event viewer and after a rsop.msc i get the following error: User cancelled installation
    I worked threw this link http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Unable-to-install-Blackberry-Desktop-... and i installed vcredist_x86 and msxml6 on the client computer but the problem is still the same.
    Could anyone help me for this issue.
    Over simple way to solve my problem would be to let me know where i can download an older version of Blackberry Desktop Software because there is a link on the website but it doesn't work.

    Well folks. I've had enough.
    The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
    I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
    Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
    Ciao folks!

  • Synching Issues with Self-Paced Learning and Embedded Flash Files

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having some issues with my files not properly synching or displaying when Self-Paced Learning is active.
    Here is my set-up:
    Captivate 5
    5 separate Captivate files combined using the Aggregator
    Each Captivate file is about 15 slides
    Each slide contains an audio file (for closed-captioning) and a single SWF file - the content is all created with Flash and then inserted into Captivate using Insert > Animation
    Each SWF file is back 1/10 of a second from the beginning of the Cap timeline (otherwise there are rewind issues when the user selects the slide they are currently viewing from the ToC)
    Each embedded SWF has the beginning and ending fade built into it; Captivate is not doing any fading
    Synch to Project is selected for each embedded SWF (although it doesn't seem to work all the time)
    Self-Paced Learning is active, as well as, Enable Navigation
    It is not being loaded to an LMS or using any built-in Captivate quiz features.  These are instead custom built AS3 Flash files that are embedded.
    Windows 7, 4GB RAM, 1GB Video Card, High-end Processor, etc... a beast.
    The Issue:
    When the user opens the course, views it for a while and then closes it and returns it will display the first slide of the course for a moment before jumping to the bookmarked slide.  This slight timing misstep causes the bookmarked slide to get out of synch.  It will sometimes not display the bookmarked slide at all or it will cut-off a small bit from the end of the slide (even with Synch to Project active).  It sometimes works fine but randomly will break.  The course is set to 100% preload and nothing is being loaded from an external location.  It seems to work fine until Self-Paced Learning is activated.
    I don't think this is a common development approach for Captivate but it has been very successful with some clients.  Has anyone encounted similar issues or does anyone have some suggestions that might resolve this problem?
    Thanks!
    Greg

    It's been mentioned many times on this forum that nesting Captivate SWFs inside other Captivate SWFs gives rise to all kinds of strange issues.  Captivate was not designed to work this way. If you choose to do it, and you encounter issues (as you have done) there's usually NOT a lot you can do.  There are just too many ways the SWFs can get into bun fights over which one does what.
    I suggest you rethink your approach to avoid nesting.

  • CCS and embedded flash content

    I've been working on a site designed around an external CSS
    style sheet. Nothing too complex, but I'm dividing a background
    image up into several div containers. The page is divided into
    three columns with a header or top section where I want to put
    flash based navigation.
    Everything is working just fine except the adding the flash
    nav part. It looks like the only images that can be embedded
    through external CSS sheets are background images.
    I've researched this extensively and can't find any examples
    of embedding a swf inside a div id through an external style sheet.
    If anyone has tried this or has a link to an example of how to do
    this please point me in the right direction. Embedding the swf
    navigation in the pages using the CSS will save me hours of time
    adding it to potentially hundreds of pages by hand.
    Thanks again...
    I'm a nubee loving design process in flash but hating the

  • SWFloader and Embedded Flash 9a SWFs

    I have a bunch of Flash movies done in Flash 9 / AS3. These
    are pretty basic animations, with very simple timeline scripts at
    the top level - basically just stop() and some trace statements. I
    also have labels set at various points. All of these animations are
    designed for basic gotoAndPlay(label) then stop() operations.
    These swfs are compiled without any custom classes...
    strictly simple code on the root timeline, as I said, stop() and
    trace().
    I load this stuff up in my more complex Flex app via a
    SWFloader. Once the load is complete, I assign SWFloader.content to
    a variable typed as movieclip. Everything loads. My trace
    statements trace through Flex. My stop() actions work. However, the
    gotoAndPlay(label) commands do not work, Flex always reports that
    the movie is on Frame 0, it claims the movie has 0 totalFrames,
    etc. It can't see any labels or any other details of the file.
    I've looked at the docs and the list archives, but can't seem
    to get this going. Is there anything special which needs to be done
    in Flash 9, besides exporting as Flash 9 / AS3? Any other
    suggestions or examples?

    I should note that this problem really only occurs if the
    animation SWF is @embedded. Looking at the loaderInfo.URL is
    telling me the main movie's URL, which I suppose is fine, but I
    still don't seem to be able to communicate with it. Accessing the
    movie as an external file, without embedding, it works correctly.
    Is there some special difference in how you handle an @embedded SWF
    compared to one linked via a relative path?

  • Vista and Embedded Flash Fonts are missing?

    I Just upgraded to Vista with a new development machine. Have
    everything installed and good to go.
    I open a previous Director File that contains swf assets and
    static fonts. The fonts are simply missing. When I view the swf on
    it's own... no problem and text displays perfectly. swf in Director
    in Vista, no go. It worked perfectly in XP.
    The files that are published with XP, the fonts in Flash
    assets are all okay. Publish the exact same file in Vista, Fonts
    are missing.
    Any ideas?

    Fixed it by installing the latest Flash8 Xtra. Wish adobe had
    an installer that could just "update" the software rather than
    manually replacing files... Ah well, all good now.

  • Can HTML based browsers rotate along with a Desktop AIR application if browser is modular?

    I get a buged out browser module in my Desktop AIR application after doing an application level rotation/orientation-change/flip screen for viewing on other side of monitor .
    Most of the HTML content rotates 180 degrees without any issue, but, it seems some of the "components" aren't getting with the program.
    Dropdown box lists don't rotate, even though the button to initate use of the dropdown list does. So, when viewing the application from the new orientation,
    the dropdown lists are upside down from an end user perspective ( just never rotated properly from a developer perspective )
    I was having to flip my application by sending out a message to a service and recieving the call from a WCF to tell the whole OS to flip via WIN32 API but
    64bit operating systems do this a lot slower, so i'm trying to find a new solution.
    I am wondering if a workaround can be done by replacing the misbehaving things like the dropdown box with native flex components?
    Any thoughts/ideas/conclusions?

    Did you try ...

    Thanks, Flex harUI, for the direction in regards to isolating build changes. That aside (still working on it), can you offer any direction in regards to my original question on SDK and AIR compatibility? I'm specifically looking for a version compatibility mapping or anything that definitively states, "Flex SDK x.y.z works with the following versions of AIR". This information is crucial for us in order to more specifically plan our own roadmap built upon these two frameworks as we consider both existing installations of our software and future distributions.

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone).

    I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application).  Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
    This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.
    Thanks in advance

  • AIR application with Flex 4.5 will not render content. What gives?

    OK,
    So I've upgraded to Flash Builder 4.5 Premium and I am unable to develop desktop AIR applications with the 4.5 Flex SDK. I start by simply creating a brand new AIR application using the default SDK (Flex 4.5). I set the title property on WindowedApplication and include a simple Label component. The project compiles fine but when I run the application all I see is the adl window in the dock but that's it. If I modify the Main-app.xml file to set the visible attribute to true, I will get a small window but there is no content although the output window shows the application swf being loaded. Checking the release version of the Main-app.xml file shows the correct path location to the swf.
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    Install/reinstall Flash Builder, 4+ times
    Downloaded the trial installation twice
    Downloaded the SDK's for 3.6, 4.1 and 4.5.0. I then copied each SDK folder and merged the AIR 2.6 SDK with each copy. So now I have 6 SDK versions; one pristine and the other with the AIR 2.6 SDK merged. I then added each SDK individually and created an AIR desktop application for each. Each and every one works fine with the exception of the two 4.5 SDK's. They will not render content.
    I created a simple creation complete handler for the application that declares a simple variable and assigns a value to it. I then put a break point on the assignment and it never gets caught. More evidence that the swf isn't getting loaded.
    The computer I'm running on is a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. If I create a web project in each of the 6 SDK's, those will work just fine. What the heck is it with Flex 4.5 and the AIR 2.6 SDK on this machine? I have the AIR 2.6 runtime installed as well as a number of AIR applications that work just fine. I also tried my 4.5 test on my windows machine and that worked like a champ.
    I am completely out of ideas. Finding information has been difficult because everyone is all about mobile so searching for desktop issues is a losing battle. I realize this is a long email but I'm desperate for help. There must be someone out there that knows more about the low level interaction between Flex 4.5/AIR 2.6 and the OS.

    Well, I finally found the issue, a corrupted mm.cfg file in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia. I deleted the file and then adl ran just fine.

  • The most resent Firefox update has a conflicting application with adobe and all pdf files have to open firefox before opening

    My issue started with downloading the most current Firefox. Firefox opens multiple empty tabs (20 -30 or more) every time I use adobe reader. I changed the action for a content type to show adobe reader. It was showing open the file in adobe in Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice and this did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Air but could not uninstall Adobe Flash Player because of a conflicting Application with Firefox. I then uninstalled Firefox and was able to uninstall Adobe Flash Player. I reinstalled Adobe Reader only and then Firefox. I no longer have multiple empty tabs opening up but each time I open a pdf file, Firefox has to open as well. I am operating on Windows 7 Home edition. Can some one help this is a nuisance.
    Thank you,
    Steve Zalkin

    Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).
