Flash built app with in-app purchases using Adobe AIR

I am working on building an app using flash which will run on desktop/ios/android, using adobe air to publish the final content. I am pretty proficient using flash, but not so much in actionscript.
The idea for the app is one of a library where a user can read a free book (short story really) and then have the option to purchase other stories via in-app purchases.
Does anyone know how this would work best? Should those short stories be located in separate movie clips within the app and are just locked and invisible until the user makes payment? Then when paid they are made visible for the user to read? Or should be be held somewhere externally? Maybe in PDF form, so when the user purchases then they can view the pdf within the app?
Or what would people recommend?
Thank you in advance for any help/advice!

they can be within your app.
that's easiest and i don't think anyone would bother de-compiling your app to access the paid content.

[Apps] Name Card Application developed using Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash Lite

An University student currently undergoing his research
project had developed this application in order to help him with
his research project. Please kindly try the application and take
the survey form provided at the bottom of this message.
This application allows you to store name card details. The
application compromise of both PC (Windows / Mac) and a mobile
phone component. Users will be entering the name cards information
using the PC component and he will be sending it to the phone. The
phone component will read the data created by the user and display
it accordingly.
This application requires Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash Lite to
work.

Can Flash CS5.5 create ios app with in game purchase function?

Can I use flash CS5.5 to create ios app with in game purchase function and other ios specific functions? Is there any limitation compare to using ios native development environment? Same questions for Android OS.
Thank you very much.

First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.
to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.
In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project
Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.
Using the + icon you can add your video.
Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)
If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \
Good luck

I can not purchase the same apps as my friend purchased using his ID on my ipad

My ipad was borrowed by my friend, then he signed in to the itunes using his ID and purchased some apps on my ipad.
But now i have signed back using my ID in itunes on my ipad.
The problem is now using my ipad i can not purchase the same apps that he already purchased using his account.
On the itunes store showing as if i have purchased the apps then a pop up message said
"UPDATE IS unvailable with this apple ID
This update is downloaded with a different apple ID. Sign in with that apple ID and try again."
I have reset my ipad and i also have reset all setting in the setting options but it still doesnt help a bit
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thank you

Is the app currently on your iPad ? If it is then delete it. Then try a soft-reset (i.e. reboot) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (you won't lose any content).
After the iPad has restarted if you then go into the App Store app are you able to buy and download it with your account ?

How to interface a tuxedo app with another application that uses tcp/ip socket messaging

How would you interface a tuxedo app with another application that
uses tcp/ip socket messaging? I have a vendor product that offers
a tcp/ip message interface, and would like to know how best to
integrate it into a tuxedo application. I could write a C application
that listens and accepts incoming request from the vendors application,
and then make a tuxedo client call to a service. But this doesn't
allow me to control the listen thread through tuxedo. The C application
would have to be started seperately and would not take advantage
of the tuxedo restart facilities etc of a tuxedo service.

You can make an empty server only with tpsvrinit that starts your client
listeners and a tpsrvdone that stops them. Be carefull with sharing ipcs
between processes, or your clients may get puzzled!!!
Another choice can be builting a custom WSL/WSH but I haven't done
this yet and I don't know exactly the troubles related with making them.

DPS iPad app with In-app subscription transfer question

I want to transfer iPad DPS app with In-App Purchase, auto-renewable subscription, found Apple Developer Guide about transfer an APP that no auto-renewable subscription allow. Anyone can give me the best practices (Steps ) to handle this situation ?
Thanks,
Michael.
iTunes Connect Developer Guide: Transferring and Deleting Apps
Criteria for Transferring an App
Before you transfer an app to another developer, ensure you’ve met the following criteria:
(1) Make sure your accounts aren’t in a pending or changing state.
For example, make sure your account or your recipient’s account have agreed to any contract amendments that wait for approval and that any iAd App Network-related account information is up to date. See “Viewing Contracts and Contract Status.”
(2) Make sure the app uses only technology and content that can be transferred.
No version of the app can use an iCloud entitlement.
No version of the app can use a Passbook entitlement.
The app can’t offer (or have previously offered) In-App Purchase subscriptions: auto-renewable, free, or non-renewing.

You've highlighted the relevant point. If your app offered in-app subscriptions you can't transfer it.

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' - even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

App that uses Adobe Air will not work

I recently tried to install a widget from a greeting card company that uses Adobe Air. The app will not load. I get a window for the license agreement for Adobe Air and when I click I agreee nothing happens.

I use Windows 7. I have tried all the compatibility settings in the app properties with the same result. I left it set on Windows 7 compatiblility. I tried downloading the app and then Adobe Air, uninstalled both and tried downloading Adobe Air first then the app. I contacted the app vendor (Jacquie Lawson) and Andrew with their support sent me to the Adobe support site. Once the downloads completed and try to open the app this is what I see:
I click on the I Agree button and it closes.....nothing else. I appreciate your help. Doing things is how I have learned so hopefully this will be a learning experience.

Commercial App using Adobe Air S

Hello,
I have completed building an entire commercial app using
adobe air using html+ajax. Now when I decided to make the .air file
and install it on various computers, I realised that the entire
code (html+ajax+images) is available in plainsight to the users in
their program files directory.
Can someone please tell me a solution? Should I obfuscate the
code? What options do I really have? Please help.
Thank you.

While this might not bee too comfortable, you could try to
create a browser Flex app, which you use a a container for HTML/JS
data container.
Your app calls the Flex app for various parts. Within the
Flex container you need to store and somehow encrypt all resources.
For sure, the actual code in the browser will be visible -
but probably not for each and any user.
Not an ideal solution, but at least an option.
Additionally google for 'JavaScript obfuscator':

Additionally, have a look at my
previous
post regarding Flex/AIR obfuscators

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Android: This app requires a newer version of Adobe AIR - update now?

Trying to run an app on the Emulator for Android:
and I get this message.
This app requires a newer version of Adobe AIR - update Adobe AIR now?
of course when I do click on the Update button - nothing happens, it just goes back to the main screen of the Emulator.
How do I update it. I now know how to install Adobe AIR runtime into the Emulator, but I can't find how one updates it?
I only installed "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219" a few days ago...
thanks

Ok, got it.

How would I create an USB Barcode Scanner Listener using Adobe AIR?

I want to create a USB barcode scanner listener that would read in the scanned barcode, and place the barcode in a field in my AIR App even if the program wasn't focused on that particular field in the App. If the client was using the application at the time for something else the scan would be buffered in AIR till requested or the AIR App has been idle for x period of time where upon the field would be brought into focus.
How would I go about this (I'm developing on windows) Was hoping for a USB solution within AIR but not fussy at all if I have to go outside AIR to solve this problem. Java, Flex, ActionScript, Flash, C, C++, C#, VB (currently I've developed the rest of the App using Adobe AIR and JavaScript)
I thought after some research that I could make a Java App (if all else fails) that listens and buffers the input and passes it along using a socket but JUSB doesn't work on Windows properly.
I'm not stuck on any one particular implementation or idea just want to get development underway so... Any ideas? or suggestions would be awesome. I've googled a lot but haven't found any examples or solid suggestions, so any URL pointing to that information would be great too, if you know of a good one, then I'd be able to read up on any suggestion.
Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Joe,
Just for anyone else. I bought a Metologic Scanner - VoyagerCG. I was trying to get it to work using Java USB for a bit with no luck. But if you get this scanner or one like it, it can be configured as a Virtual COM Port. Which is very very easy in Java to set up as a listener and use sockets to transfer the data and listen within AIR.
This PDF has links to drivers and instructions if this is useful to anyone.

How do I develop for multiple screen resolutions using Adobe Air

Hi,
I'm looking at developing mobile apps using Adobe Air but there's something I'm not quite sure. Sorry if this is a newbie question or has been repeated but I have looked at tutorials, etc but just want to get a general idea on how to prepare the assets. Here are some of my questions:-
1) If I want to develop for the iPhone non-retina and retina resolution, do I actually need to only write the code and layout the graphics in retina(960 x 640) stage size and it will automatically scale down for non-retina resolution?
2) How do I cater for iPhone 5 resolution? Do I actually need to swap say the background images through code by detecting the resolution size it was in? or do I actually just leave the background image longer it exceeds the stage height so when it's iPhone 5 it will show everything?
thanks for the help!

If you are talking about regular Flash work, and not your own code-layout application, then what happens depends on the scale mode of the stage. Typically, when doing code layout the stage is set to no_scale, and you have to do all the hard work yourself, calculating the size of things, and laying them out with ActionScript.
If it's more of a typical Flash graphical scene there are two other scale modes that make life easier for you.
The default scale mode is show_all. With that you will be certain to see all of the content of your original Flash stage, and if the screen is a wider ratio than your stage, the content that is off the sides of the stage will be revealed. See this app I made, that uses that technique:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meet-heckerty-funny-interactive/id514220257?mt=8
It works well enough, I have enough extra background graphics to go out to a 16:9 screen, including iPhone 5. That particular stage is 1024x768, and it will scale all the way from iPad 3 Retina down to iPhone 3gs.
The other scale mode that is useful is no_border. In that mode you are certain to not have any black borders around the stage. It achieves that by cropping into either the left and right, or the top and bottom, of the stage. See these apps I made, that work that way:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/milkshake-mayhem/id556962979?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/p.s.-snowflake-yourself/id571384475?mt=8
In both of those cases I have content that is correct for half way between the ratio limits of 16:9 and 4:3 (or 9:16 and 3:4 for the portrait case). When the app runs on your device, some amount of the left and right, or the top and bottom, of the stage is cropped. I have enough background content for that to be ok, and all of the important content is within the middle 14:9 or 9:14 area of the screen. The stage size for the landscape app is 1680xx1080, exactly 14:9. This approach is better than the show_all one, in that the user doesn't feel like they are seeing a lot of blank space, as can be the case when viewing a 4:3 stage on a 16:9 screen.
One last thing, even with either of those techniques the app won't fill the iPhone 5 screen. To get that to work you have to include a splash screen that is 640x1136, and name [email protected]. With that in place iOS knows to make your app use the full width or height of the iPhone 5.
