Does adobe air support drop shadows and blur?

Does adobe air support drop shadows and blur? I can see it on the swf on pc but I don't see it once I put it on the android as .apk. Thanks!

change your render mode to cpu and test.

Live effects such as Drop shadow and blurs convert to flatten images with giant clipping masks preventing edits?

Without reason and at great costs, live effects convert to unusable web style graphics. This is not photoshop. Is adobe moving to kill Illustrator in favor of PhotoShop style web graphics? Suddenly every time I open a template the drop shadow or Gaussian blur has been converted to transparent overlay with a giant opacity mask applied. In trying to repair the damage by releasing the opacity mask the whole graphic jumps to a black square? Not all of the effects do this, just newer templates. I first thought because a fellow artist creates her graphics in RGB work space that this was the cause. It is not. Now randomly this happens. What am I doing wrong that causes this.

No they are ones my company creates for products we carry. We print on the items. I need to center logos on the items and not the items and the shadow. I also need to update the items as time goes by. It used to be as simple as open the file and make the needed changes. Now I have to start from scratch on the items that self convert. Any time a computer file self converts to a different type of file you have a problem. Only certain templates have morphed like this. I'm sure it's something I'm not catching.

Excessive connection latency... Does Adobe Air support connection pooling on mobile?

Hello,
I am developing a mobile app which loads thumbnail images from a remote server. During testing on the Android platform, however, I have discovered that images are very slow to load. By monitoring server logs I have determined that the poor performance is caused by the lack of connection pooling, meaning that each request builds a new connection. Running the sample code below on a mobile device produces 20 requests and 20 connection attempts. By comparison, the same web or desktop app creates 2 connections and reuses those connections for subsequent requests. The substantial overhead and latency associated with generating new connections has a substantial affect on performance, with 20 thumbnails taking approximately 4-5 seconds to load on mobile versus 0.5 - 1 second on a desktop.
I have included a sample app below to emphasis the performance issue. The image itself is very small (290 bytes) to focus the issue on connection latency. I have confirmed this behavior on numerous Android devices, running 4.1, 4.0, and 2.3. I have also attempted using Loader v. URLLoader v. URLStream and sequential v. simultaneous loading with no change in connection behavior. Attempting to set the connection to 'keep-alive' in the URLRequest also has no affect.

So, I have a couple questions:
1) Is there something that I can do to enable connection reuse?
2) Is this an inherent limitation with Adobe Air for mobile?
3) Can someone confirm whether this limitation exists on other mobile platforms (iOS or Blackberry)?
Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am really hoping that this isn't a fundamental limitation of Adobe Air as it causes my app to feel very sluggish.
Thanks,

Hmm. You were absolutely correct, that's a bit disappointing!

Both are on release compile, which should take out all of the variability. So, yes, it looks as if the 3.4 AIR runtime has lost the connection pooling but ONLY for Android.

Does Adobe Air support mixing 14 audio tracks with different timings with no latency?

We are looking to port our iPhone application to Adobe Air and wanted to see if this is even feasible
See an app demo here: http://vimeo.com/5737825

What platforms? On Android there is or was a bug with audio latency that would interfere with your goals. The bug is in the Android OS IIRC. If you want to contact me offlist I can put together an AIR project to test mixing as many tracks as you'd like and include buttons to trigger them (source included).

Does Adobe Air support Mac OS X?

When I try to run Adobe.com on Adobe Air (or another Air
application, for that matter), the application crashes. I am
running Mac OS 10.5.6.
I was initially able to run Air applications. But as of last
week or so, I cannot.

Hello All,
I had Adobe Air installed with three applications: Zinio, Mindomo & Prezi. Everything was working fine. I upgraded my Mac OS X leopard to Snow Leopard. Zinio asked to be upgraded to 4.0 and upon upgrading the app I was asked to upgrade to Adobe Air 2.5.1. After upgrades I receive the following error when I try to run any of the applications : "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version." followed by a crash, here is the crash report: http://www.box.net/shared/b003opfbmo
I have tried the above steps, including uninstalling the applications, adobe air, running the terminals commands and then installing all again. Can anyone help?
P.S. the same reproduces on another administrative account on the same machine.

Does Adobe AIR for Android support C2DM?

Does Adobe AIR for Andoird support the Android Cloud to Device Messaging Framework (C2DM)?
for more information on C2DM see:
http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html

It isn't supported right now. It should be supportable (you will have to write native code) in an upcoming release. Same for iOS/Android notifications.

Adobe AIR support for Windows RT and USB

We want to develop an cross platform application. We found that Adobe AIR supports cross platform development for Windows, iOS and Android.
We wanted to know wheather
1) reading and writing to USB port is possible with Adobe AIR?
2) Adobe AIR has support for Windows RT development?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote before about my concerns with Adobe AIR, but here is a short summary:
- no road map and no clear plans for the platform,
- support of new devices is often late, Intel chipsets are not supported on Android,
- debugging on a device is a pain,
- inadequate build times for iOS, app package is quite large,
- list of mobile UI components is very limited and UI experience is far from native,
- native extensions are a possibility but still far from perfect (imagine using three very different development platforms all in one app), no debugging,
- performance is not good if you use a lot of Spark components in your app,
- Flash Builder is pretty bad as the development environment,
- ActionScript3 is a poor, outdated language that encourages bad coding practices.
I ruled out HTML5 frameworks for the same reason as you stated above. Last few months I've been working with Xamarin MonoTouch and I think it is perfect for my projects. 100% native UI experience, about 80% of the code is shared among the platforms, iOS, MacOSX, Android and Windows 8/RT are supported. Took me about 2 months to convert my 2Mb ActionScript Adobe AIR project to Xamarin MonoTouch (iOS). The entire process was fun and painless. Now thinking to port to MacOSX and Android. My iOS app is already at the App Store, no major complains so far.
On a down side, Xamarin is expensive for an indie developer with low revenues. You need to pay $300 per year per each platform (iOS, Android, Mac). Plus, you need to develop UI layer separately for each platform, so only part of the code is shared. But I decided it is a way to go for my projects and it's been a very positive experience so far.
As for my professional development, Xamarin offers quite a bit more as well. I get to work with C#, .NET, iOS SDK, Android SDK all in one platform. With Adobe tools you only get to know ActionScript and Flex/Spark framework. Very rarely I see that as a desired qualification. It is like a trap. Your boss tells you to develop a few projects with Adobe tools, it sucks you in for a few years and suddenly you realize that your market value declined dramatically and there is no easy way out of this mess.

Does Adobe Premiere 7 work ok and is it supported under Vista 64 bits operating system

Does Adobe Premiere 7 work ok and is it supported under Vista 64 bits operating system?

No, it's not supported under any 64-bit operating system.
But it seems to work in compatibility mode, which turns on automatically in Vista. It may occasionally suffer a hiccup, but it seems to work for many people.
Just make sure all of your firmware, RealTek drivers and Quicktime are up to date.

Adobe AIR 3 Performance Issues and Code Signing Certificate Problem

I recently updated to Adobe AIR 3.0 SDK (and runtime) doing HTML/Javascript development using Dreamweaver CS5.5 in a Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
The AIR app I'm developing runs well from within Dreamweaver. But when I create/package the AIR app and install it on my machine:
1. The app literally CRAWLS running it in my Windows 7 12G RAM machine (especially when I use the mouse to mouse over a 19-by-21 set of hyperlinks on a grid) --- IT IS THAT SLOOOOWWWW...
2. The app runs fine in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4G RAM, also using the Adobe AIR 3 runtime.
About the Code Signing Certificate problem:
When I try to package the AIR app with ADT using AIR's temporary certificate feature, I get the error message "Could not generate timestamp: handshake alert: unrecognized_name".
I found some discussions on this problem in an Adobe AIR Google Groups forum, but no one has yet offered any resolution to the issue. Someone said Adobe is using the Geotrust timestamping service --- located at https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa --- but going to this page produces a "404 --- Page not found" error.
The Google Groups Adobe AIR page is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/air-tight/browse_thread/thread/17cd38d71a385587
Any ideas about these issues?
Thanks!

Someone said Adobe is using the Geotrust timestamping service --- located at https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa --- but going to this page produces a "404 --- Page not found" error.
The Google Groups Adobe AIR page is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/air-tight/browse_thread/thread/17cd38d71a385587
Any ideas about these issues?
Thanks!

Adobe AIR HTML/JS application and Windows Native Installer

Hi,
I am building an Adobe AIR application with HTML and Javascript and I would like to know how to make an Windows Native Installer.
I am trying to build it with Flash Pro but it keeps returning the error 'Invalid SWF file'. At the application.xml file the <content> points to my index.html file. I don't use any SWF file. When I change this to point to the SWF it does build tha installer but the application loads the SWF.
Is there any way to build a Windows Native Installer and the initial content be an HTML file?
p.s. I tried to extract the files from the installer file and edit the application.xml there to point to the index.html. But I can't repackage the files to a valid air native installer.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. The internal bug number for the issue is #2740755. The issue is currently under review and will be investigated by one of AIR team members.

Catalin

Drop shadows and HTML5

When there is a Smart Shape with both a stroke and a fill, plus a drop shadow, the drop shadow looks like it only applies to the stroke. I have several such objects with fairly thick 3 or 4 pt stroke. The drop shadow should be behind both the stroke and the fill. To avoid this I've been creating two identical shapes when only one is needed. The bottom shape has a drop shadow and the top shape does not.
Does anyone know a better workaround that doesn't require so many shapes?

Hi Jay,
As you are used to, I double-checked what was my idea about those shadows: being simply a slightly moved duplicate of the original shape with the color, alpha and other settings you setup in the PI, Shadow accordion. I published to HTML5 and everything showed up as expected, here is a screenshot of that published version:
For the first smart shape I only decremented the Alpha more for the Fill in order to see better the duplicate, shadow image. The second one has no fill, but I customized the shadow color.
Could you post a screenshot of your different result?

Does Adobe officially support running Photoshop on VMware?

I need to convert from discrete servers running Photoshop for an image resizing function to a VMware/blade server environment.
Does Adobe officially support running Photoshop on VMware?
Also, what versions of ESX are currently tested and supported?
I understand there may be some special configs needed to get the licenses to work....what are they?
Also, if certain versions of Photoshop are supported and others are not supported under VMware, I need to know that as well.
How do you get to a product manager at Adobe?....For Gods sake, they have a customer service blockade to get to a person who knows this stuff.
Thanks,
Cody
