How to Set up Flash builder to build Air Mobile Apps

Cannot find a decent tutorial how to install the sdk etc for Flash Builder.
Does anyone know of an easy to follow guide?
Or Can tell me how?

Oh Come on this is so easy to answer.
I'm so confused by all the out of date adobe labs tutorials, and this massive burrito thing.

Spry Sliding Panel bugs with Flash SWF, iFrames, CSS background images

Greetings,
I'm working on a site right now that is build with Spry 1.6
Sliding Panels. On the home panel I have integrated a looping SWF,
and scrolling iFrames on the Overview panel. After extensive
research on these forums, I'm still scratching my head at a few
bugs listed below:
• Firefox (MAC v2.0.0.14)
- The SWF on the home panel doesn't hide properly when
sliding to a different panel. I have set 'wmode opaque' parameters
to the flash file, but this seems to have not resolved the issue.
- Additionally, I've noticed that sometimes the SWF will not
finish sliding into the correct position when clicking to the home
panel (the SWF will stop sliding several pixels left of the
original positioning).
- The SWF (which happens to be a loop animation) resets every
time the home panel is visited. In my testing, this does not happen
in any other browser.
- On the Overview panel, scrolling iFrames are used on the
"Staff Profiles". These iFrames don't hide properly when clicking
through other panels, as the scroll bars are still viewable.
- Overall, the sliding animation is a bit choppy compared to
all other browsers. I can live with this, but I wonder if I have
improper code somewhere?
• Opera (MAC v9.27)
- Same issue as above concerning the fact that the SWF
appears outside of the sliding panel view port.
• IE 6
- CSS background images flash during the sliding panel
animation.

Flash Builder 4 - Mobile (Adobe read this!)

This is the second time I've written this letter. The first was a five-paragraph rant detailing the chronicles of my journey into mobile using the Adobe tools. This time, however, I've decided to break it down in a different way. It goes like this:
- Adobe spends considerable effort trying to convince Flash (AS3) developers to migrate to Flex (Flash Builder)
- After spending time with Flex, I am one of those who is convinced by the ease and power of what it offers. I buy Flex (Flash Builder)
- Adobe announces it will provide support for building iOS application but insists you use (buy) Flash CS5.
- Support (and methods) for using Flash Builder to create iOS applications is complex, messy and tedious at best.
- I buy an iPad ($3500), pay for an Apple developer account($100) and start using Flash CS5.
- I have to strip out the AS3 from my Flex project to bring it into Flash CS5. (Abandoning all the Flex components that made it great in the first place)
- I get my AS3 application running locally on my iPad. Despite every effort, it runs considerably slow (to my surprise)
- Apple makes it's TOS changes, restricting 3rd party developer tools.
- I'm now **** out of luck getting my Flash based application public (iTunes Store)
- Adobe starts to turn it's attention to Android (a move I fully supported despite my own shortcomings)
- AIR for Android starts to unfold. So, I start taking a look at it in addition to downloading the Android SDK.
- Publishing anything to an Android device, using Flash Builder, is (again) a complex, messy and tedious task. Command lines etc.. nightmare.
- Now, Apple reverses it's TOS policies.
- More Android 2.2 Froyo devices begin to emerge now (especially tablets like the Galaxy)
So, at this point I digress.
So, Adobe. You wanted us to migrate to Flash Builder. So, we did. This, by the way, means we BOUGHT the software. ($780)
So, you want to demonstrate Flash's power to publish to mobile devices. (meaning, now, iOS and Android)
ALRIGHT THEN, WHY DONT YOU SPEND SOME TIME GETTING FLASH BUILDER 4 UP TO PAR ALREADY? WHY DON'T YOU MAKE PUBLISHING FOR BOTH PLATFORMS (iOS and ANDROID) MORE ELEGANT NOW? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO BUY FLASH CS5 NOW THAT WE'VE FINALLY COME ON BOARD WITH FLASH BUILDER? WHY DONT YOU SPEND SOME TIME PROVIDING AN ELEGANT SOLUTION FOR MOBILE PUBLISHING - LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE FOR FLASH CS5 (MONTHS AGO). I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FILL OUT A FEW FIELDS, SELECT A FEW OPTIONS FROM A MENU AND PUBLISH MY APPLICATION FROM FLASH BUILDER. NOT DOWNLOAD SDK'S, DOWNLOAD SPECIAL BUILDS OF AIR AND FLASH PLAYER ON A WEEKLY BASIS. GET FLASH BUILDER 4 UP TO PAR SO WE CAN WRITE ONCE AND PUBLISH (PUSHING A BUTTON) TO BOTH iOS AND ANDROID WITHOUT SPENDING HOURS FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET IT ALL WORKING.

Again, my issue is not with Flash Builder itself. In fact I think Adobe is doing a tremendous job regarding many things at this juncture. They've been under a considerable amount of pressure, especially since Apple tried to declare Flash an obsolete technology. I'm proud of Adobe and Flash - which I thoroughly enjoy working with. I also enjoy working with Flash Builder.
My issue is in regards to support. It's that simple. I understand that many features take time to prepare prior to their public release. This is obvious. There are a lot of tests to be made prior to even a first release. My issue is a specific one. It is in regards to Flash Builder and their attitude towards this piece of software as it relates to this "mobile storm" that has approached. Everything is about MOBILE, MOBILE, MOBILE. Well, ok.. it's about mobile. Adobe really only has two (count that, 2!) pieces of software that creates Flash content. (and NO, that isn't a lot). There's the Flash IDE and Flash Builder, which is SUPPOSED TO BE FOR DEVELOPERS. One would think that more time would have been spent of getting ELEGANT mobile publishing solutions into Flash Builder at this point. I'm tired of reading one massive pdf after another just to understand what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. AND.. on top of this.. they get simple, fluid, elegant solutions into the FLASH IDE in the meantime. iPhone, Android publishing with the click of a button in the Flash IDE? DONE! Months ago.. Flash Builder 4 with the same capabilities? Nothing. Command lines... Terminal windows.. give me a break.

Flash Builder AIR version

I have installed the Adobe Creative Cloud and I have installed Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit). It seems that the latest, stable, version of the Adobe AIR SDK is 16.0. However, the Flash Builder that installs from the Creative Cloud installs version 3.1 of the AIR SDK. Why is this? Part of my intent with purchasing the Creative Cloud was to be up-to-date with the latest applications and libraries. This seems like a severe oversight at best, or a poor decision. This is 2015. That SDK is over 4 years old. Why doesn't the latest builder ship with the latest libraries?

Moving this discussion to the Flash Builder 4.7 forum.

Captivate and HTML issues in Flash Builder / Air App

I have a Flash Builder project that includes an HTML component and several Captivate SWFs that play in another window of the app. If I do not have the HTML component on, all works fine. However, when I add the HTML component, I get the following error when I go from one Captivate SWF to another:
Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/throwIllegalMethod()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/getChildByName()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/restoreFocusObject()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/skipFrames()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/movieonEnterFrame()
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to suppress the Captivate movie from calling the restoreFocusObject or how to suppress the error? I have tried using the HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent handler but that is not capturing it.
Thanks!

Instead of using the File object, try URLRequest instead:
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Special_Assignment_Title.flv");
ns.play(urlReq.url);

StageWebView not displayed in Flash Pro Air Mobile Simulator (if render GPU)

Hi guys - just wasted too much time with this - thought I'd mention it here - may help someone in future.
I've got a mobile app which uses StageWebView for a news/info page.
However my app is mainly graphics so I use GPU render mode.
When I test the app using the Air Debug Launcher (Mobile) the StageWebView is not displayed.
If I flip the render mode to Auto it shows just fine in the simulator.
Most importantly - GPU does work fine when deployed to the actual device.
I'm pretty sure this was not an issue a month or 2 ago (possibly an issue with current AIR version displaying StageWebView on desktop - I'm currently on 3.8.0.910 ( see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1175722 ).

I had this issue on earlier versions of AIR. Don't know if this is will fix your problem, but for me it had to do with listeneres and additional calls happening before initating the webview. By moving "webview.stage = this.stage;" up before "webView.viewPort = new Rect...", it worked again.

Adobe has abandoned us. Who will help us about compilation problems with Flash Builder for mobile?

Which is the correct forum???

If you are having issues with the Flash Player, there is a forum dedicated to it that would be a more suitable place for discussions about it...

Can a Flash Builder AIR project be Catalyst compatible?

So, I'm trying to figure out my best workflow.
I have FB 4.5 and Catalyst 1.5. I'm trying to create a desktop app.
I'm looking at Adobe's article on creating a Library project, and it seems that a Catalyst library project and an AIR project are mutually exclusive. Meaning, if I choose Catalyst compatibility I can't choose "Include AIR Libraries" and vice-versa.
Is there some other route I should take?
Thanks
Kristin

Yes, FC does not accept projects which has AIR libraries. You might have to separate out the code using AIR APIs into a separate library and then use the original library project to round trip with FC.

Developing Iphone App using Flash Builder and Flex Air Mobile

I started developing an Iphone app using the trial version of Flash Builder and was pretty impressed with how easy it was, then i hit problems:
Trying to submit my app, I was getting invalid binary, using google i tracked this down to a change in the Apple App Store meaning that all apps needed to have native iphone 5 support, which meant updating to Air SDK 3.7
Updating to AIR SDK 3.7 was a nightmare (mainly as a result of my failure to read the small print)
Once I got SDK 3.7 to work with flash builder / flex mobile i though i was there.
However now i can produce a fast build but everytime i try and produce a standard / production build i get strange errors (air 3.8 does the same).
My Question is - before i actually buy Flash Builder has anybody actually achieved the following:
     Building an Iphone App using:
     Flash Builder 4.7    (running on OSX)
     Flex Mobile 4.6
     Air 3.7
If so how ?
cheers
Toby

Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
      __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
      __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
cheers

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.

Setting a background image w/ Flash

Hello -
Is there a way to set up a background image (repeating or non-repeating) that the stage area floats over.
When I use file > publish settings > HTML > publish - It creates the HTML document but any area outside the stage is colored with the default stage color- Can this be set up in Flash or changed in HTML ???
Here is a section of the HTML document:
<body bgcolor="#ff00ff">      <--- This is the current stage color in Flash



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    AC_FL_RunContent(
        'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0',

        ); //end AC code
</script>
Thanks- Ben L

Yes you can but flash does not add background image for you. It only generates the HTML file with the object-embedding script. Then you will need to add the HTML script to add the background. Also you will need to set the SWF object as transparent so that it will "hover" over the HTML file. Do that by setting the wmode property of the embedding code which looks like this: http://www.pastie.org/822998. Or set the Window Mode under HTML tab of Publish settings to "Transparent Windowless".

Proper Flash Builder 4.6 project setup to use AIR3.2 and Stage3D?

I would love to use Flare3D on a mobile app. Im struggling to get FB to get set up for this.
I have overlayed AIR3.2 and added a flash player 11.2 debugger exe in the players folder as well as playerglobal.swcs for 11.2RC.
When I go to make a new actionscript for mobile project the air namespace is already properly 3.2 from the overlay. I set wmode to direct and the same even again in the actionscript [SWF(wmode="direct")].
When I make a mobile config and test on desktop from an emulated android the debug reports my version properly as 11,2 so I know the FlashPlayerDebugger.exe is working.
I make sure my compiler settings target -swf-version 15.
Yet I always have an 'unknown internal problem' using this type of project. If I do a standard MXML mobile project it works just fine.
I can export to a flash web app using stage3d and it works great. I have the 11.2RC debuggers installed in my browsers. But as soon as I try the same as-only for mobile project it wont work with that useless error.
I am new to flash builder, AIR, Stage3D and Flare3D so Im a bit of a fish out of water.
Can I use stage3d from air3.2 in mobile dev from Flash Builder 4.6? Thanks for any tips!

rendermode should be set to direct in the xml, I have only tested with starlng+air 3.2+android but it did work and i didnt do anything with wmode

Flash Builder 4.6 differences between debug version and apk release version

I've been struggling for several days now. I have a simple swf file that just says 'hello world' on a green background. It is written in Flash 8 actionscript 2. I've used the Flash Builder actionscript mobile project and flex mobile project in both cases and I can get it to download and display quite happily in the debug version on the desktop emulator and on my ASUS eee Pad Transformer Prime using a USB cable . Thinking that all is ok I then 'export the release build' and the result is a blank white screen on my tablet.
I then did a simple Flex Project as per an adobe 'my first app' tutorial (hellow world!/Success!) and exported the release build with the same certificate I used before and it worked fine.
So after all that my question is - what could be the reason that my tablet is quite able to run a debug version of my embedded swf file but not the apk release version of it?
Any ideas?
thanks
Nick
