Developing ios/android game using flash and action script

I'm completely new to this, I have done a bit of research about using flash to create ios/android apps, but one thing really confuses me is,
should I create my game in flash lite or in air? I know swf format will not be supported, so i will leave that one out...
If using air format you need to install the air application in your iphone or andriod devices before the game can be played?
Is it possible not to use air for apps development using flash?
Since it is somehow non-user friendly as users were prompt to download and extra application before any game can be played...
thanks for the help in advance...

You want to use AIR not FlashLite - for iOS the end user doesn't need to install the AIR runtime, on Android they will however. But it's painless...
You don't need AIR for apps in Flash, but you do need to publish using AIR if going to iOS or Android.
Be sure to get AIR 2.7 and copy it over 2.6 - CS 5.5 installs with 2.6 which runs much slower on iOS, than does 2.7

Developing Photoshop Plug In Using Flash and Pixel Bender

Hello.
Is there a way to build a Plug In for Photoshop using the Flash (GUI) + Action Script (Auxiliary Functions) + Photoshop Script (Photoshop Built In Capabilities) + Pixel Bender?
Are there tutorials I can start from?
Thanks.

We have combined the C/C++ SDK, the Companion SDK and the Panel Guide into one SDK. You want the Panel Guide.

We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used. Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash. If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first. Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control. Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

Will people be able to login to the FTP server from my website and do everything through their browser?
Users could use web based ftp client or a 3rd party ftp client.
Have look at the sytem the following school uses.

Although I have not setup this type of thing up myself googling around shows a few tutorials using PHP or Java based ftp clients.
have a look at this article..

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
_root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame'); // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf. in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg, _parent or _parent._parent etc).

Invoke an application using mxml or action script

Hi all
I am using flex 2.0 beta 3. And i would like to know if any
method is there to invoke a software using mxml or action script.
I tried with URLLoader and URLRequest to load and open a
file, with a hope that the file will open in the default program
that i configured for that file to open. But i got an error saying
Stream Error.
Can anybody guide me to resolve this issue ..
Rakesh

Here is one possible solution:
You can use the ExternalInterface (
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html)
class to communicate with JavaScript. JavaScript can then popup the
media player very easily like this:
http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/jf/column5/index.html
The documentation on the ExternalInterface class has a nice
example (in the bottom of the page) on how to communicate with
JavaScript in a browser. Hope this helps,

A puzzle game using Flash Builder Burrito

I used the Flash Builder Burrito and AIR 2.5.1 to build a simple puzzle game for the Android market. It is called 'Ramanujam's Magic Square' and is live. Performance on Galaxy S is as good at it can be with a native app. considering that the puzzle is about number crunching.
Here is the pic:

it's ok, I figured it out.

Deployed Android project using Flash Builder Burrito not working on mobiles

Hi,
I have created a simple "Hello World" Application using Flash Builder Burrito SDK. I have tested the result in the emulator it is working great.
After that i deployed the application using "Export Release Build Option" and entered valid certificate details and created the .apk file. I copied the .apk file into the device and i run the application. Iam unable to run the app. I have tried these in 3 android supported devices and in each of these i am getting different error messages. I have mentioned the device in which i have tested and the error message i got while i tried to install the app (.apk file)
HTC Desire - "Error while parsing the package of the application"
Samsung Galaxy Tab - "Error while parsing the package of the application"
LG Optimus one (LG P500) - "Application not installed"
I have created a New Mobile Project in the flash SDK and added simple label "HELLO WORLD" in the view section.
Before deploying i have installed Adobe AIR 2.5 in the device.
Whether iam missing any of the steps to deploy correctly in the device. If so, please let me know. Also i need to know whether any restrictions are there for applications developed using Flash Burrito Preview Release. (whether by default all android mobile version more than 2.1 will support it?)
Also when i try to install "Tour De Mobile Flex" apk in LG Optimus, it is saying "Device not supported" message.
How do i overcome these problems to run the apk file without any problems.
If you need any other detail please let me know, i will explain it in detail.
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivasan.C

Ok, this is an old post but i still needed a couple of hours to find a solution, so here we go:
- Most likely you have TWO executable build targets in your project (two mxml that you can launch). If so, go to the Project settings > Flex Applications and remove the one you don't need so you only have one.
- My case was a bit complex though - i was using an ANE and Coldfucion server. In this case change the Output folder in the Project Properties > Flex Server > Output folder to something like "temp" instead of "C:..." generated by Flex Builder. The Android device gets confused by a "C:" reference but still can understand a local "temp" folder
I hope i have saved your day

Capture image with webcam using flash and sending it to the server

I have a need to use flash to capture an image and have that image uploaded to the server. I have seen some examples of code that uses flash to capture an image but it saves the file locally. We need that file to be sent to the server. We are using CF9.0 and I figure that once we are able to capture the image we could hand it off to ColdFusion to send to the server.
Has anyone done anything like that or know if it's possible?
Any help is apprecaited.
Thanks,
Mallory

It's not that hard...after you capture the image in Flash encode just send it via Remoting to a cfc as a bytearray or a bytearray encoded as Base64 string (and then decode it to binary in the CFC). I have had better luck with the latter way. You could also post the bytearray encoded as a Base64 string to a .cfm page as a form field.
For example in Action Script 3 you do something like this (assuming "frameBMD" is the BitmapData drawn from the video source):
var ba:ByteArray=com.adobe.images.PNGEncoder.encode(frameBMD);
var baAsString:String=com.dynamicflash.util.Base64.encodeByteArray(ba);
var saveImageResponder:Responder=new Responder(onSaveImageResult,onFault);
var rs=new NetConnection();
rs.objectEncoding=flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF3;
rs.connect("/flashservices/gateway");
rs.call("Headshot.saveImage",saveImageResponder,baAsString,1);
And your cfc would be something like this:
<cfcomponent displayName="Headshot" hint="Save a Headshot">
<cffunction name="saveImage" access="remote" output="false" returntype="string" roles="user">
<cfargument name="data" type="string" required="true" />
<cfargument name="user_id" type="numeric" required="no" default="1">
<cfset SavePathParent = ExpandPath("/data/users")>
<cfset SavePath = SavePathParent & "/user_" & arguments.user_id>
<cfif NOT DirectoryExists(SavePath)>
<cfdirectory action = "create" directory = "#SavePath#" mode="777">
</cfif>
<cfset theFilePath="#SavePath#/headshot_#arguments.user_id#.png">

<cffile action="write" file="#theFilePath#" output="#toBinary(arguments.data)#"/>
<cfset LOCAL.file_url="/data/users/user_#arguments.user_id#">
<cfreturn LOCAL.file_url/>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Anyway, that's the idea... hope that helps.

Write to and read from TCP/IP address using Flash and Actionscript

Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie with flash and Actionscript. I have been programming for a number of years now, but I have only been messing around with flash since CS4. I have CS5 now, and need a bit of help. I have a wireless device that I have made, I wish to make a flash program (potentially adapted to iPhone or Android) that sends and receives data (in the form of Word or Byte sized variables) from an IP address assigned to the device. Is this achievable?
Please help. Thank you

Pogo game screen flashing and trying to load twice on one screen

Had to take my computer in and have the video card replaced. Now some Pogo games flash and won't work in Firefox. I have reinstalled firefox, restored it, and updated Real Player but to no avail. The vid card they put in is a GeForce 210 EVGA. I have a Dell computer with Windows XP running on it. Any help you can give me would greatly be appreciated. I don't want to run IE or Chrome as Pogo was trying to get me to do.

Using Flash and HTML with Sound

Hi All,
I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to Flash and want to
start using it a bit more but I'm in 2 minds as to which way to
build my site.
I would love to have the functionality still of html and
place the odd bits of Flash in on the site or just create a flash
site but place each page into a seperate html page but there are
issues with the sound. I want ongoing music to be playing but the
tutorials I have looked at seem to lead to a stop start problem
when the visitor clicks from page to page. I want to make it a
search engine friendly as possible which is why one of my options
is to put build seperate html pages for my Flash instead of having
just one.
There may be some coding issues with a couple of pages that
link into databases and I would have to link these pages to pure
html pages for functionality purposes but this would need to be
done either way.
Can anyone advise which way I should go with this and if
there is a solution to the stop, start sound issues with loading
individual pages.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thankyou in advance
Stephen

Highscore list using Flash and PHP

Hi,
I want to make a highscorelist using AS3 and PHP(MySQL).
I cant find a good tutorial on internet how to make something like that but I got this so far:
import fl.controls.TextInput;
import fl.controls.TextArea;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.name = "Wil";
variables.final = 2000;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
////insert in the location of the php script ////////////////
request.url = "http://www.justenter.nl/script.php";
request.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request); //sends the request
//when the request is done loading, it goes to the completeWriting function
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeWriting);
function completeWriting(event:Event):void {
    var writingCompleted:TextField = new TextField;
    writingCompleted.autoSize = "center";
    writingCompleted.x =200;
    writingCompleted.y= 200;
    writingCompleted.text = event.target.data;
    addChild(writingCompleted);
He is sending the score and name to the database but he is doing that when i press ctrl-enter. He is sending the data I have given in:
variables.name = "Wil";
variables.final = 2000;
I want a input textfield and a button. And When I fill in my name in the input textfield he send it to the database when I press the button.
Is there someone that can help me out?
Tnx

import fl.controls.TextInput;
import fl.controls.TextArea;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
