Flash 10 functionality in AIR

Hello all
Just wondering if anyone's got any info/rumours/vague guesses
about if and when we might see the new Flash 10 functionality
appearing in AIR, even as beta. In particular I'm thinking P2P. As
is probably most of the AIR-developing world.
Cheers
Steve

I am interested as well, mostly in the expansion of the
maximum width & height of playback (2,888 vs. 4,096).

Redraw issues after FLA imported to Flash, and Compiled in Air

I created a test file in inDesign. It has 3 pages. The pages are pretty simple. Though there are some clipping paths and animation.
I ported the filed to Flash, as a FLA.
I added video in Flash, and some more animation.
I added code so the file will go from frame to frame, (what were the pages), on mouse click in the frame.
If I complie it is Flash, it works great.
If I compile it in Air, which I want to do, when it gets to the last page, it starts to have redraw-issues.
When the user clicks on page 3, there is a gotoAndStop(), which normally takes the user back to page 1. But in Air, the user gets to page one, but only sees page 3, as the redraw never occurs. I tested this very carefully, by rebuilding the whole thing and removing every element.
The issue seems to be, if I remove all the pagespreads, which are now "movieclips" in Flash, it works fine without redraw issues.
If I add any of the pagespread movieclips to a frame, as they were when imported, the redraw issue occurs, but only when I compile in Air.
Have you heard of this before? I was wondering if there might be some settting in Air that is conflicting with the inDesign created pages, which are now movieclips.I am hoping there is something that I can do to fix it, as I would like to continue to create the spreads in inDesign.
I am working on a PC in Windows Vista. I wondered if this was the issue as well. I can share the file if you want to see it, compiled in flash, and compiled in Air.
Thanks very much,
e

Just to update. this is relevant for inDesign users who want to port to Flash, and compile as an app in Air.
It turned out what was causing the problem was my use of the TLF text. Air did not like it and caused it to error and not function. I rasterized the text on export as a FLA instead, and it compiled fine. It may be my use of kearning, hanging indents, etc. I refined the text alot in inDesign, as would most designers. Maybe the samples used in testing never had hanging indents? Anyway, it works fine, as long as I rasterize. This loses the nice TLF editing function in Flash. But at least it works and the text looks good.
Any info on this, or if anyone reproduces the error, I'd be interested in hearing.

Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please

You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

Flash builder 4.7 air 3.6 new adt compiler

Hi. Ive been having serious issues when i tried to "Export release build" using air 3.4 and/or air 3.5 on Flash builder 4.7. Goit a lot of nonsense java.lan.nullpinter exceptions and similar errrors.
When i tried to debug or run, even on device generating the ipa, everything ok. But when i tried to export the project, and it tried to re-compile it, always got absurd java errors.
Ive tried everything: downgrade the java virtual machine, reinstalling flash builder, air, even windows!!! Nothing worked. Even recovering previous stages of the project where I originally could export it (its even published on the appstore!). No use. The app that was working no problem, now when trying to export returns a lot of javanull pointers or similar crap.
BUT, when trying to generate the ipa through via command lines on the ms dos console it works!! So... its obvious the problem was on the adl+java duo.
Thing is, I updated to the just released AIR 3.6 (not the beta, the release version). It uses .exes(on windows, which is the system im using) instead of java, so it showed promise.
I overlayed the air version on the flash builder following this instructions:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4797974
Well, not exaclty, because then flash builder throws a lot of errors and dosent show me the package explorer for instance.
I made a copy of the AIR folder, but not deleted the content, just copied the new air version files over and substitute the replicas, but kept the originals where no new file substituted them (dont know if im explaining it ok, sorry for my english).
It worked... except for the damn "Export release build" option. It keeps trying to debug it using java instead of using the new adt. And I cant find how to change that.
The adt on the other hand is being used ok, as i can check it when I try to run or debug the project targetting a device. Before I could check the command used and now Im not, so Im pretty sure its using the new .exe instead of the java version. But now I dont know how to generate the ipa targetting the app store, for instance via command line using the new adt nor can i do it exporting the project from the flash builder IDE.
SO...
is there anyone having similar problems?
How can I correctly overlay air 3.6 over Flash Builder 4.7 and force it to use the new air adt and adl?
Anyone tried?
Thanks in advance folks!!!

Thanks everyone for your collaboration.
Hey Nabren, What do you mean by "as well"?
Just to make it clear. I already followed the instructions here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder. html
to overlay the air sdk. And the folder you are pointing me is the ONLY ONE the instructions tell me to replace. BUT when you say "as well" I understand something else have to be done.
Ill explain the whole process Ive followed and the consequences:
As I said I replaced the content on the AIRSDK placed in the fodler C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722 (or similar), for the content of the new SDK.
The result is that flash builder throws me a lot of errors and is unable to show even the package explorer, for instance or create a mobile project, so I went back to the original AIR folder. No problem there.
When I was using flash builder 4.6 I overlayed the sdks in this way: made a copy of the last flex SDK (which already had the air sdk inside), and copied the content of the latest AIR SDK over the current sdk, replacing only new files, keeping those not includded on the air sdk. That way I could keep several flex+air sdks, and could select wich sdk to use for each library/project. Now this doesnt work anymor on flahs builder 4.7.
So I tried this:
I made a copy of the AIR sdk under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722 and copied over the new sdk ont he folder overwritting new files,keeping those not included on the new sdk... and this works! Everythings fine. I can debug complex projects on air simulator even launch it on an iphone or ipad...
BUT it keeps throwing me JAVA errors (null pointer exceptions and things like that) when exporting that makes no sense at all (different errrors without making any change, now no error now another one...).
More info on the projects provoking this behaviour:
They are mobile projects (ios mainly). They use several libraries. Some of them come from compiled swcs from flash cs6 (wich contains classes we are using as views). All libraries have been double checked. They are fine. The problems emerge when trying to export targetting the apple store. Weve double checked the provisioning and the certificate. They are correct. In fact, when we try to generate the ipa using adt via command lines on ms-dos it works!
Weve tried to remake and the rebuild the project class by class, even recreate the flas we are using to generate the swcs to be used as libraries on the project... it only works when the project is almost empty. As soon as some content is added.. bumm! Java errrors all over when trying to export.
Our main machine is an i7 2.93 Ghz, 8 GB ram, 64 bits. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, using Flash builder 4.7 64 bits and flash cs6 64 bits. But we have checked on other mahines and sme thing happens.
Doesnt anyone else have these problems? Is there any other way to overlay the air sdk?
Thanks again.

Are Flash Professional Buttons broken in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4?

Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. I immediately ran into a problem with Flash Professional Button's working incorrectly. The buttons have linkages in a SWC exported from Flash Professional CS6, which the project has linked. The content of the buttons doesn't seem to matter. It seems to break in different ways visually depending on it's composition (sometimes it loads unreleated bitmap data or displays with a strange transformation). Has anyone else seen this behaviour so far?

I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

SWC PNG's invisible when compression is set to JPEG in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4

Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. One side effect was that when my PNG's in my assets SWC were set to use JPEG compression instead of PNG, they are invisible at runtime. I haven't found any mention of this when searching so far. I can just use PNG compression for now, but it's nice to have the choice. Anyone else run into this problem?

I haven't seen this come up, however you might want to give our latest AIR 3.5 build a try (12/11/2012 - AIR 3.5 Runtime and SDK Update). If it still occurs, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.

Pass C++ Class Member Function as a callable function in AIR Native Extension

I'm writing an ANE and I'd like to know if anyone has been able to pass a C++ class member function pointer as a callable function from AIR? I have tried this so far with a little bit of C++11 trickery and it's crashing. I've also statically linked the libstdc++ into my library, according to the documentation, in order to ensure that these features I use work correctly. I have code like so:
FakeWorld* world = new FakeWorld();
*numFunctions = 1;
memberFunctions = (FRENamedFunction*) malloc(sizeof(FRENamedFunction) * (*numFunctions));
ANEMemberFunction mCreateFakeBody = std::tr1::bind(&FakeWorld::createFakeBody, world, std::tr1::placeholders::_1, std::tr1::placeholders::_2, std::tr1::placeholders::_3, std::tr1::placeholders::_4);
ANEFunction* createFakeBody = mCreateFakeBody.target<ANEFunction>();
memberFunctions[0].name = (const uint8_t*) "createFakeBody";
memberFunctions[0].functionData = NULL;
memberFunctions[0].function = createFakeBody;
FRESetContextNativeData(ctx, (void*)world);
I just realized I'm using C here for allocating the member functions array.. silly me, but I don't think this is the cause of my issue. I refuse to believe that Adobe has built to the Native Extensions portion of the runtime in such a way that I have to cram every single function I want to create (natively) into a global, C formatted namespace (Especially since the documentation says that C is only required for the extenion and context initializing function interfacing and the rest of the code can be done in C++ or objective-C). So please let me know if and how this is possible and I thank you so much in advance for your time!P.
P.S. Currently when I run this code, I can do the object initialization just fine. As soon as I invoke the "createFakeBody" method on the native side, the runtime dies and simply says:

Thanks again for your assitance.

It's been a little while since i've dealt with C++ and not up to speed on tr1 or C++0x, so forgive me if i'm not helping.
The the examples of std::tr1::bind that i'm seeing out there seem to be either dereferencing the bound 'this' pointer when creating the bound method, i.e. in your case *world instead of world, or using std::tr1::ref(*world), therefore i believe that bind expects the bound parameters to be passed by reference.
Given that the result of std::tr1::bind is callable (basing that on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3678884/virtual-member-functions-and-stdtr1function-how -does-this-work) could you simplify to the following:
memberFunctions[0].name = (const uint8_t*) "createFakeBody";
memberFunctions[0].functionData = NULL;
memberFunctions[0].function = std::tr1::bind(&FakeWorld::createFakeBody, *world, std::tr1::placeholders::_1, std::tr1::placeholders::_2, std::tr1::placeholders::_3, std::tr1::placeholders::_4);
Or for an even simpler starting point, creating a test member function 'helloWorld' in FakeWorld that takes no arguments and using:
memberFunctions[0].name = (const uint8_t*) "helloWorld";
memberFunctions[0].functionData = NULL;
memberFunctions[0].function = std::tr1::bind(&FakeWorld::helloWorld, *world);
Hope this helps.

Flash builder 4.7 AIR 17 compile-abc-64 fail on x32 OS

Ls,
Since AIR 16 I cant compile to iOs on my x32 Os (windows vista ultimate)
On my laptop its fine, uses x64 windows 7.
Failure because of compile-bc-64.exe not working on x32 (makes sense sure)
So: Is there a way to not have it use the -64.exe but only the normal compile-abc.exe?
Flash builder: 4.7
AIR sdk: latest two 16. & 17
OS: windows Vista ultimate x32
Highest regards,
Mac

I finally found what probelem i have. Visual studio has corrupted one dll. Flahs is crashing due to my browser in 64bits which has problem. I found that it could be a probleme while installing a .net framework. But unfortunately i can't delete or uninstall this framework, i had no option to uninstall it. I guess the best way is to format my computer. But as i am waiting for a new worksatation dedicated to your tool and zbrush of course(for stage3d is a real improvment), i won't format it now it would take too much time to resintall everything and i would have to do this again when i will received my workstation
If someone has problem like that there might be a solution(not the best but at least it works)
To solve my problem as i have to make an app in flash builder. I downloaded the 32 bits version of flash builder 4.7. And i will resintall the 64 bits as soon as i received my workstation.

Flash Builder and Adobe AIR: anybody there?

Hi,
I've recently posted quite a few posts reporting very serious bugs of both Flash Builder 4.6 and Adobe AIR especially on mobile platforms, and asking about possible fixes and workarounds.
I would have expected immediate replies by someone at Adobe showing some interest in such blocker bugs that render Flash Builder completely useless, and developing AIR apps for mobile impossible. But there was no reply at all.
I wonder, are Flash Builder and Adobe AIR being maintained, or have they been abandoned? Because in the latter case I'd rather know it and stop wasting my time using this platform for development.
thanks
m.

I feel your preoccupations, Matteo. I have them too.
A few days ago, Gartner issued a document, called - as usual for Gartner - "magic quadrant", related to Mobile App Develpment 2012.
This document explains the situation of the different vendors so one can make an educated choice about the IDE to use for platform-independent mobile things.
Adobe is well-positioned in this quadrant. However, Gartner (who have talks with vendors before issueing their reports) only referred to PhoneGap when explaining how Adobe addresses mobile app development.
This is a shame, because FB is powerful and uses ActionScript (which many of us like).
I have bought FB last year and had fun with it. I don't think it's going to last for long, if I Adobe doesn't show that HTML5 + CSS aren't the only way to go.

IOS 7 Issues | Flash Professional update for Air 3.6?

Is anyone having any issues with iOS 7?
I am using Flash Professional to publish my apps and have had a few rejected becuase of:
1) Microphone request - App requests to use the microphone although it does not use the microphone
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3609631
This is was apparently updated for the Air SDK, but not for Air in Flash Professional?
"Fixed in the latest AIR SDK, please update:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_rele ase_notes.html"
2) Movie Clip is not displaying in the correct place - I had an app rejected because a movie clip is not displaying in the correct place on the screen:
"10.1- We found that your app does not comply with the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines. After tapping on the info button, the content of the app is displayed on the top left of the screen."
I used the following simple lines of code but the image is being displayed in the top left of the screen:
addChildAt(bgAbout,0);
bgAbout.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
bgAbout.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
Is there any ETA on the update iOS?
Is Adobe aware of this?
I hope these issues are fixed soon.

You can use the 3.9 AIR SDK that is available on labs and add this in Flash Pro using Manage AIR SDK.

Do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently?

This question is asked as a follow up from a recent discussion, http://forums.adobe.com/message/6260447#6260447, regarding how getObjectsUnderPoint() works. The discussion was marked as correct as the answer provided by kglad was correct for the question asked.
But, the problem that led to that thread was not solved, as from the tests done, the issue was not from the method but from the runtimes. With the sample code given by kglad, the compiled swf file was working as intended by kglad. But the same code was not if compiled and packaged to AIR runtime.
Thus the question, do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently? Or again, that I simply missed out something?
*Edit: Anyone with similiar experience?

I'm also using Safari 6.0.1 and I don't have this problem, so I doubt Safari's causing the problem.
Have you tried uninstalling flash completely and then reinstall? If you haven't, here's Adobe's instructions on how to do so: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html

Install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air

I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air and it stops at 98% stating that it needs to to close Safari browser, I close it and still it does not fully install it.

You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

Try this alternative:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
It includes the actual installer (so it's a lot larger) whereas the other installer downloads the install data once it starts running, which may be where your problem lies.
