Flash and AIR iOS Render Mode

Discovered when I add video to my project I have to use GPU Render Mode to play the video smoothly. But this causes any Filters I've applied to text objects to disappear. Tried numerous ways of correcting including cacheAsBitmap... doesn't work. On some of my MovieClips I've checked ExportAsBitmap and that does work.
Any suggestions to find a medium in both worlds?
Video to play correctly and text objects with Filters applied to them.
Testing on my iPad.

I've heard and its been my experience that GPU shouldn't be used when dealing with video.

Flash and Air not working....

Hey guys how are you?
First of all thanks for your help!
I have Flash CS3 and I installed Adobe Air.... I did all the
updates and everything looks fine..... When I create an Adobe Air
file on Flash and save the file everything looks good..... but when
I try to test the aplication or debug the movie Flash stop working.
I already add the script line from the adobe site (trace("Running
AIR application using Debug Movie");) but nothing works! When I try
to re-open the file Flash crashes again..... Does anyone have any
idea why is this going on?
Thanks!

Hi,
My take is , is your autopromote tuned on for the room. I mean whats
your user role when an user enters the room(who is not host), is it 10
or 50. If its 10 i.e. viewer , then he cant use his own cam etc. You
need to take a look at the logs when an user enters and if its 10 and
you want to give him these permissions, turn autopromote on from the
devconsole for the room to make his role 50 i.e. publisher.
I just now downloaded 2.5.1 AIR and created a new project with your
source and I am able to use everything.
Thanks

Difference between Flash And AIR

Hi,
Actually, What is the difference between Flash and AIR

At a very high level, Flash Player is a plugin used by browsers to display Flash content typically hosted on a server. AIR is a runtime that displays a superset of Flash Player content, but does so in an application format installed on the users system or device. In addition, there are differences in how the two interact with the file system and security policies.

Player 10.1 and Air using Compatibility Mode

This is related to post at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2933137#2933137, but, thought I should start another since that one is marked answered.
I'm having a similar issue with an Air app, but, I am using 4.1 SDK (and LCCS 10.1 swc), but still getting the same error regarding GroupSpecifier (pasted below).
I have an Air app project and related web app project, which both use a library project (ARSystemLib in the trace below). The library project is using 4.1 SDK, and has the Flex 3 compatibility mode turned on, along with 10.1.0 set as "use a specific version" under "Flash Player Options". The Air project is also using 4.1 SDK and Flex 3 compatibility, along with the compiler option "-target-player=10.1.0".
For the web app, I had to remove the "Use a specific version" of 10.1.0 for it to compile ( was getting many "Classes must not be nested", which seems to be a difficult issue to fix after much research on others getting this message).
I'm okay with the web version not using 10.1 for p2p, but, critically need this for the Air version. I'm hoping it's not the "Compatibility" mode setting, as reworking the app without is a huge undertaking.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Apologies for the delayed response. I am guessing you will have to update the namespace in your <PROJECTNAME>-app.xml file under src of your project.
Your name space should be 2.0 or greater.
Its possible that your app has namespace like -
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> ,
but it should be
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0">
Also other options is to add -target-player=10.1.0 to your flex compiler options [additional compiler arguments]
Thanks

Flash CC Air iOS: Problems with loading text from an external xml located on a server.

So I have this code allowing me to load text from an xml located on a server. Everything works fine on the Air for Android. The app even works in the ios emulator, but once I export my app to my ios device with ios 7, I don't see any text. The app is developed with Air sdk 3.9. What could be the reason? Do I need any special permissions like on Android? Does ios even allow to load xml from an external server?
Any clues?

It was my bad. I linked to a php file to avoid any connection lags, which was absolutely fine on the android, but didn't seem to work on the ios 7. So all I did is change the php extension to xml and it worked without any problems.

Problem with adobe flash and air always upsampling 2.1 to 5.1

I have a weird issue, tnat I have searched most places for
When ever I am watching or listening to a flash video in Firefox or IE the stereo audio is always upsampled to 5.1 on my speaker system. This also affects my adobe air program which I use to run Pandora One. It is very annoying to always have to switch to 2.1 for anything flash based than back again for everything else that processes 5.1 propeerly.
If any one has any suggestions to try I am all ears,
Thanks

This issue was a byproduct of a fix we made back in 11.3, but I agree that we should reexamine this issue and come up with a better solution. Could you take a minute and add your comment/vote to the following bug report?

Seems like event bug in Flash and AIR

I am creating a small demo for AIR in which the AIR application loads an external swf file and detect the text field details when user click on it.
The text fields can be on the main timeline and few in some movieclips (also in nested movieclips).
I am able to achive this to one level. But is the swf loaded loads another swf in side it then I am not able to detect the textfields in it.
I think the event is not generated for it.
also
when i am runniing the AIR file in flash environment (In Flash IDE) i am able to get this information
But when i install the AIR application it give me the text details for level one swf but not the swf under it.

Flash Pro CS5.5 and Flash 11/Air 3

Hey guys. First time posting here.
I recently read up on some news about Flash player 11 / Air 3 update coming soon and that Adobe is bringing full hardware-accelerated 3D graphics to both Flash and Air. Which sounds awesome . Buuut.. Here's the thing. Will these features be updated into CS5.5? as well as be available for CS6 (I'm just assuming it's coinciding with the release, I may be wrong). I've only just hopped on the CS bandwagon and bought my student liscence for CS5.5 and I really hope I don't regret not waiting for CS6 to buy instead.
For all who have been using Flash Pro for a while now, how has it been for previous software updates? Did Air become available to those who had earlier versions of Flash Pro when they released a new version?
Let me know
Thanks

Yes its available to those people who have previous versions. Just to change or update the folders (tweeking) for new AIR releases.

I have tearing with flash and Youtube videos.

First, my specs.
Windows XP
Quad Core
Nvidia 9600gt DDR3
2GB RAM
Browsers: Firefox 3.6.12 and IE7
I have the newest Nvidia Drivers and Adobe Flash 10.1
Well the problem is that I have tearing with flash and videos in Windowed Mode, if I turn the full screen option there is no sign of tearing BUT only if I have hardware acceleration turn on.
So the problem is, why I have tearing in windowed mode?

Same here. I am not getting 'what tearing' is all about. Can u please explain?

Looking for Flash/Adobe Air Developer for Startup who has some free time

We are looking for a Flash and Air developer who will be creating a Website Music Player for a new music startup Stereo9 (www.stereo9.com). We are also looking for the developer to be able to create a desktop application in Air, which will be used if someone chooses to download a song from the website...and the desktop application will be responsible for managing the download and downloading the music to the user's computer. The functionality between the player and the download tool is pretty simple, and we need to just get it up to a "1.0 launch phase". The rest of the application is rather robust, so for a small investment you can become involved in this venture that has a lot of potential where we are in touch with venture capitalists including the founder of Last.fm.
The rest of the application is developed (completed over the last 2 years) and the engineer that we had for this area of the platform is no longer available to complete that side, you will receive a percentage of the stock options of the startup and we only need the application to be at a simple 1.0 level to get things started. Please send an email with your interest and your confidence level that you'll be able to complete all aspects of this project.

I am a mid-level Flex/AIR developer who offers Flex/AIR consulting. Your project sounds similar to others I have worked on. Email me at [email protected] and we can look at your requirements.

Present and future of Flash with AIR on iOS

I'm having a hard time finding clear information on the situation about deploying Flash with air runtine on iOS. While it seems clear that the plugin flash for iOS is ended I didn't find any infos about Adobe AIR. Is it still possible to distribute apps for iOS through the iTunes Store. Arte the apps using Air still running on iOS.
Thank
Marc

While it seems clear that the plugin flash for iOS is ended
There was never any Flash plugin for iOS. Apple has always been very forward about iOS simply does not support Flash. It ended for Android.
Adobe AIR apps compile down into native code (ARM for iOS). You're not actually running "Flash" or "AIR" at that point. This method of deploying apps is very convenient because the same code used to produce an AIR for iOS app can be largely re-used on the Android side, reducing overall costs involved in developing for both platforms.
I think it's pretty safe to say this method of app creation isn't going away anytime soon.
Lastly yes there are plenty of AIR for iOS apps on the market (I have some myself) and they all work fine as long as you do as an Xcode or Java developer would when a new OS comes out. You test for compatibility and update as necessary to keep your app functioning properly. The vast majority of fixes needed come from OS changes, not issues with Adobe AIR. Stability is very good.

What is the best AIR render mode?

In Flash Professional Help / Publishing AIR for Android applications (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-air-android-applications.html) I found the following:
===========
Render mode
Allows you to specify which method the AIR runtime uses to render graphic content. The options include:
    Auto - automatically detect and use the fastest rendering method available on the host device.
    CPU - Use the CPU.
    GPU - Use the GPU. If no GPU is available, the CPU is used.
    Direct - Render using Stage3D. This is the fastest available rendering method.
==========
If the Auto mode automatically selects the fastest rendering method, what is the point of the 3 other options?
My application has some minor 2D animations, but very smooth drag-and-drop performance is important. What rendering mode would you recommend?
Thank you.

Last I heard, "auto" was never implemented. Auto=CPU mode.

Render mode gpu and softkeyboard issues

IHi,
If I'm using the render mode "gpu" or "direct" for my Air Android project, the stage is not resizing correctly if the soft keyboard comes up. (there are 150 px of blank free space over the soft keyboard)
Everything works correctly if I'm using the render mode "cpu".
s this a known issue?
How to fix it?
I'm using Flash CS6 and Air 3.8
Thanks

There are definitely some bugs going on with the softkeyboard on Android. Check out my releated issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1281872?tstart=0
I knew eventually some other people would start running into this problem: Please vote for adobe to take a look into the softkeyboard bugs on Android: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3627285 ... bugs that don't get enough votes don't get worked on

Air 3.3 and background ios apps

Hi All
I cannot find some coherent information on this so I am asking here.
I need to write an iOS app that needs to perform a webservice call every x minutes to update the slqite db on the device, even if the application is not running in the foreground.
From google what I could find out was that iOS will only allow your app to run a small time after closing(to finish an upload etc).
e.g. "AIR does not provide support for this iOS background processing model": http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/considerations-air-apps-mobile.html#articleconten tAdobe_numberedheader_5
but then later " applications may now support location updates and networking in the background": http://forums.adobe.com/message/4380335http://forums.adobe.com/message/4380335
Can I do what I need in Air 3.3+ an iOS 5.1+ ?
Thank You

Some of the statements in this thread are no longer true, or need to be updated.
Here is a recap:
As of AIR 3.9, background execution will work on iOS+Android with render mode set to 'direct' ( which implies that you are using Stage3D ).
For background execution to work in iOS, you need:
to set NativeApplication.nativeApplication.executeInBackground = true, in your as3 code somewhere ( note: strangely, background exec on iOS has worked for me in the past even by not doing that ).
to add in the iPhone section of your app manifest ( *-app.xml ):
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = false
UIBackgroundModes = audio ( and/or location, or some other background mode ).
a good excuse / reason : since battery-gate on the iPhone4, Apple has tightened its policies regarding background execution. For example: last time I tried, setting UIBackgroundModes=audio was only allowed if the app was intended to play a sound persistently in the background ( not occasionally, such as an alarm clock sound ).
For local notifications, I recommend Distriqt's local notification ANE ( Android+iOS), since it's the ony one I know which uses the AlarmManager api on Android ( Koesler's Android Local notif doesn't last time I checked ). This means that on Android, the local notification can be scheduled for a later time ( same as iOS ), and will fire EVEN if the app is either minimized or has been closed properly ( meaning closed by the OS, or by the user via NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit() -- note: force-stopping is the exception and cancels scheduled notifications on Android ). You can also have the local notification play a custom sound which is up to 30 secs long ( mp3s on Android / cafs on iOS). Sound will be audible on both platforms, even if the device is suspended. This is ideal for an alarm-clock, for example. The downside of local notifs is that they don't execute code, per se, however they can pass a data payload ( text ) back to the app, if it is running ( even if minimized ), which a handler can receive to do stuff.
