Flash AIR publish question

Ok so, normally I use adobe flash player to run and test games I have created however I have just switched to adobe AIR as I needed a UDP connection in a game I am currently creating and flash player does not support this but AIR does. Flash publishes a .air installer and a .exe installer but not the exe of the game. When I use one of these installers it creates the game exe, the game swf and a METAINF folder. Now does this mean I have to install my game every time I want to test it? Why cant I just publish the AIR game exe and not these installers? Thanks

I found the air debug launcher but that still doesnt allow me to run 2 clients at once. So does anyone know if you can just publush the .exe air project and NOT the installer?

Flash/AIR Publishing Problem

This is driving me crazy. I'm trying to compile a Flash/AS3
app into an AIR app. I've followed all the directions I can find
about how to do this. When I click Publish, I see a progress bar,
followed by a dialogue box telling me that the AIR app was created,
but when I try to find the app, it's nowhere to be found, even
using Spotlight. I'm having the same problem whether I try to
compile my own app or the Text Editor sample app I downloaded from
Adobe's site (which I was able to install with no problem, so I
know I have the AIR runtime successfully installed). Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!!

i didnt try os x.. but after a small search i found this url:
http://www.laaker.com/micah/blog/2007/installing-the-adobe-air-sdk-on-a-mac
it explains for both os x and windows..
i think you dont need anymore :) but try to learn shell
programming also because you can use every feature of compiler and
you can learn all tricks while compiling.. it seems confusing at
first but after you figure out, you will be master :) lol

Flash AIR app cannot load child swfs on publish to device

I have been struggling with this problem for WEEKS now and can't solve it. I have an flash AIR app (creative cloud, AIR 3.8) which is very simple: all it does is load external SWF movies on the click of a start button. It works FINE in test/PC but when I publish to device, the external swfs do not load.
Here is the code on the main timeline that calls the external swfs:
//start button
start_button_TRI_desmatosuchus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3,false,0,true);
import fl.display.ProLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
var fl_ProLoader_02:ProLoader;
var fl_ToLoad_02:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3(event:MouseEvent):void
          if(fl_ToLoad_02)
                    fl_ProLoader_02 = new ProLoader();
                    fl_ProLoader_02.load(new URLRequest("dinofilms/triassic_desmatosuchus.swf"));
                    fl_ProLoader_02.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete_02 )
                    addChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                    fl_ProLoader_02.x = 0;
                    fl_ProLoader_02.y = 144;
          else
                    if (fl_ProLoader_02!=null) {
                              removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                              fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();
                              fl_ProLoader_02 = null;
          fl_ToLoad_02 = !fl_ToLoad_02;
function onComplete_02(e:Event):void {
          e.currentTarget.content.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);
function OEF_02(e:Event):void {
          if (e.currentTarget.currentFrame==e.currentTarget.totalFrames) {
                    e.currentTarget.stop();
                    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);
                    removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                    fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();
                    fl_ProLoader_02 = null;
I am calling about 30 different movies on 30 different frames, so that's why I am using tags like "proLoader_01" so I don't duplicate them. All the external swfs are of course listed in the included files too.
I would really appreciate the assistance, I am a reluctant coder!

OK, I replaced all the "ProLoader" instances with "Loader" and I am getting an error, below (see***)

Hi,
This option is available when your publish target is set to AIR 3.6.
You can download the desired AIR SDK version from Archived Adobe AIR SDK versions

Flash CC publish to Nexus 4 doesn't work

Hi all,
I'm a newbie when it comes to mobile development, but I have a lot of experience with AIR for desktop.
I have a Google Nexus 4 and cannot get Flash CC to publish to it for a simple test. First I found that Flash CC couldn't find the device at all because it lacked the necessary drivers, and the ones provided with Flash CC were not accepted by Windows 7. I was able to find what seems to be the correct driver (Universal ADB driver) online here: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH
After installing that, Flash CC was able to list my device in the AIR publish settings. I have USB debugging enabled on my Nexus 4, but when I go to publish it just gets to an indertimined progress bar that says "Publishing..." and never completes. If I cancel it, Flash CC freezes and must be killed.
The publish settings I'm using are:
AIR 3.6 for Android
Android deployment type: Debug - Default
AIR runtime: Get AIR runtime from: Google Play (I have AIR installed on the Nexus 4)
After publishing
- Install application on the connected Android device
- - Launch application on the connected Android device
- - - [Presumably my device selected... it's a string of random characters]
On the Nexus 4 I have turned on Developer options > USB debugging, I have it plugged in and on.
Am I missing something?
-Aaron

Meanwhile, could you please try restarting your machine once, just to ensure an in memory older adb is not in use.
So, was a newer driver supposed to be installed by downloading the latest SDK? What driver should be installed?
I simply opened Windows 7 Device Manager and did an 'Update Driver' and 'Search Automatically' and it found an update and installed it, asked me to reboot and next reboot it worked.
I've tried to update the driver automatically and it simply says it's up to date. I've also tried to use the drivers shipped with Flash CC and Windows didn't recognize them as valid drivers at all.
What driver did you initially install?
-A

Flash-Air-App for iOS and Apples new App Store guideline (XCode 5)

Hi Forum,
i'm using Flash CC for the development of an iOS App (AIR).
Now Apple will soon update the iOS to 7.1 and Apple says, that from 1st of Feb. 2014 you can only publish iOS-Apps created in XCode 5 in App Store.
Or how do I have to read this statment from Apple: "Starting February 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5 and iOS 7 SDK."
How does this fact affect my Project?
Will it still be possible to publish an FLash-Air-iOS-App through App Store?
Thank you in advance
Ralf Kopp

Adobe fixed this internally. Just update your adobe air sdk to latest from labs.adobe.com

Flash Player for Android Frequently Asked Questions
Chris

Samsung - Flash Air and Flash Player will no longer be supported from February 4, 2014 ?

What are peoples thoughts on this?
We have been alerted that Adobe will no longer continue to support Flash on Samsung Smart TVs and BluRay players. As a result, Flash engines will not be supported in 2015 Samsung products. Going forward, Flash-related features will be excluded from SDKs released. Although Flash engines will remain to be equipped on existing Samsung products, including 2014 models, there will be no technical support from either Samsung or Adobe. Accordingly, any applications developed with Flash Air or Flash Player will no longer be acceptable. Samsung recommends using either HTML 5 or Javascript based applications if the application in question is Flash-based. Beginning on February 4, 2014, any Flash-based application, including any updated versions of such will not be acceptable for submission.
http://samsungdforum.com/SamsungDForum/NewsView?newsID=45
Not being able to deploy Adobe Air in Samsung devices is a huuuuuge kick in the teeth suley?

I'm not an Adobe or Samsung expert, but it seems to me that...
on Samsung Smart TVs and BluRay players
..is not the same as (all) "Samsung Devices".

Upgraded to Windows 8.1 broke Flash/AIR/ANEs

Here is the problem, been using Flash/AIR for years to build AIR powered apps. Recently built a new system running Windows 8.1
I transfer all my work over from the old Windows 7 machine and open up the .fla files, fix the links and test the file, here is the error.
The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.distriqt.Camera could not be found.

So seems like the .ane files are breaking the file somehow. So I make a blank file with nothing on it and it runs. Then I just add the .ane file into the publish settings and that breaks the app.
Anyone have any clue what is causing this. Is there some inherent incompatibility between AIR or ANEs and Windows 8.1? BTW I tested with the latest SDK 15.0.0.302 both in CC and CC2014.

Well switched back to Windows 7 and all seems to be working but had the same issue at first. My guess is that it was caused by the old files looking for something from the OLD machine in the C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp folder. When this error originally came I up I went and found the files it was asking for on the old machine and copied to the new. This I believe is where the error above started causing issues, the .fla was looking for some sort of old extracted versions of the file which it was not finding due to new drive paths and only when I switched to 7 and instead of copying old files over, I deleted the folder it was looking for, did I resolve this although I am still not 100% certain that was the case. I also had issues with Flash not recognizing plugged in devices when trying to publish to device and going back to 7 solved this as well so I think Ill stick to 7 for now till 10 comes out but I wrote this up in case someone one day runs int this problem.

Flashing folder with question mark on start up + many other issues

About 6 months ago I first encountered the flashing folder with question mark on startup. I fixed the issue myself by unplugging the mouse and keyboard and rebooting. I also did the cmd S fsck -fy before that and all was well.
The other day I had the flashing folder again...I got it going a couple of times but it happened again. Right now I seem to be in deep trouble. Please read the following:
1. I booted up from the leopard dvd and no hard drive was there to run a disk utility on
2. Booted up again from the dvd and hard drive was there. Ran the disk utility and everything was fine...for about 5 minutes. Then the computer froze and I had to hard power down. Rebooted to the flashing folder.
3. Did command s and fsck but at the end I get the message failed to issue comm reset after 3 attempts.....failing....
4. I powered down, vacuumed out the vents, sprayed compressed air to make sure it wasn't over heating from dust buildup as I read somewhere.
5. Booted up...worked for about 5 minutes again.
6. Now I can't get to the hard drive from the install dvd at all...I tried 100 times. Cmd s won't work at all!! So it looks like I am out of options. Does anyone have ny radical solutions that i can try to fix this. There are some very important things on my hard drive that I would be very upset about loosing.
Please reply

Sorry to bear bad news, but most likely the drive is already dead or dying. I hope you backed up everything when the first symptoms appeared.
There are data recovery services, but might be very expensive.
EDIT: Some (a few) people have had success putting the drive (sealed very well in a plastic baggy) in the freezer overnight and then quickly putting it in an external enclosure and getting the data off it that way.

Netboot will not working, getting globe, then flashing folder with question mark.

I just created a netboot image which went off without any problems. I copied the two .nbi folders to my NetBootSP0 folder, and enabled them within netboot. My OS X server which is my netboot server and dhcp server. When I boot using N or Option N, I get the flashing globe for several seconds, the request goes through to the server and gets ACK {SELECT} however a few more seconds after, I get the flashing folder and question mark before it does a normal boot. I have read the other posts about DHCP and Subnets. My server and and clients are all 255.255.0.0. Any suggestions would be very helpful as I need this to work for several buildings.

This might work for some:
I had the same problem of the netboot image not mounting/opening, spinning globe then booting back to the Mac HD on the client and it was only when I remembered that we had manually experimented with jumbo frame rates and the MTU settings for our 32TB RAID in the Hardware settings for Ethernet ports on our servers. I turned the settings back to "Automatic" and 1000baseT on, then the whole NetInstall and Neboot was working perfectly again.

Can dreamweaver (CS3) play the middleware between flash AIR as 3.0 and MSSQL

I have developed a Flash AIR AS3 form, 7 input text fields, one submit button. I know that Flash can't communicate with a server unless a PHP script is in the middle. Sadly, I am on microsoft sql server 2008 not mySQL. Does anybody out there, know of a tutorial that will teach me how to write the php script in dreamweaver to act as the middleware so AIR will send the data from the text fields to the database on the MSSQL. The goal of this is a learning experance, nothing more, I have never tried to talk to a server or database before....SO i beg please be gental, with me.
thank you all.

You can't declare the same variables/function more than once in a given timeline. That's what all the errors are telling you. The two options that Rob identified will work.
What you can do is extend the actions frame for the length of the occupied timeline so that variables/functions you declare in frame 1 are available in all frames along the timeline. To do this, you have the code in keyframe 1 and go to the end of the timeline and choose the command to Insert Frame. You should see the timeline between the first frame and the last becomes one large white frame area.
I will often have two layers dedicated to actionscript. One for the code that lives in frame 1 that gets shared along the timeline's length, and another for the commands that are specific to certain frames only.
If you need need text to appear/type-out in different frames then you just call the function that performs the typing while sending it the text that it needs to type. If you need to type it into a different textfield, then you could pass that to the typing function as well so that it targets the desired textfield.

Flashing folder with question mark at Startup

Here is what I know so far.
- The computer was powered off by pushing the power button without shutting down.
- The computer was then restarted and it was coming into the white screen with the Apple logo in the middle, but i noticed that it was skewed slightly (like someone took a 4:3 ratio screen and stretched it to a 16:9) and then it would show a circle slash icon and then the flashing folder with a question mark on it.
- It would not come up in single user mode (Command + S) and it said that there was an error loading kernel 'mach_kernel'
- It would not come up in safe mode (Shift)(The flashing folder came up again)
- I reset the PRAM (Command + Option + p + r) and it seemed to fix the problem with the stretched screen but did not help the boot situation (still got flashing folder)
- I did the start up where you can select the hard drive to boot with, it owed the HD and i selected it, but then i got the flashing folder with question mark.
- It would not come up in Verbose Mode (Command V) Error loading Kernel again.
- I bought a FireWire cable and hooked it to another MacBook Pro, and booted the faulty Mac into Target Disk Mode, the FireWire logo came up on the screen and bounced around like all forums said that it would, but the drive would not show up on my host. I checked the System Profiler on the host and it did acknowledge the Target Disk Mode was there, but the drive of the target would not show up on the host. I restarted the host, nothing. I checked all of the connections, nothing. I replugged all of the connections, nothing. I even reversed the FireWire cable, nothing.
- I have DiskWarrior 4 if i can get the drive to show up in TDM, but nothing so far.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your help guys. I managed to get the computer started by holding down C at the Start Up with the Install Disc 1 in the computer. The disc was really kindof unnecessary, as the newest version of Mac OS X (10.4.10) became available via the hard drive.
I then found out that the battery was not installed, so I reset the management system by removing the A/C power, the battery and pushing the power button for 5 seconds, and then reconnecting everything. It did not help, the battery is bad i guess, so I am going to call AppleCare and get a new battery.
Thanks for your help.
