Flash CS5 and iPhone

Hi, I've got a few questions about developing for iPhone in Flash CS5 that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere.
How do you compile for iPad using this? I see the option that says "Device" and "iPad", but what does this actually do? Does it change some setting in the app that tells the iPad that it's compatible, so that it's not treated as an iPhone only app? What happens when you run an app on the iPad, does it resize the stage to the iPad's resolution?
How does this work on devices with the "retina" display? Is there support for this? Does it resize the stage to fit the screen's resolution, or does it just re-scale the whole app and all of the content? How about the app's icon? Does Flash support the higher quality icons?
Thanks for your help!

Yes as far as i know of all the ipad icon does is makes it compatible for the Ipad, You would have to make the app with the dimensions of the ipad, and then adjudt your code to refit the iphone. Otherwise you would have to zoom in on the ipad for a iphone game to work.
so to compile for the ipad. Make it of the ipad type, but you will need to change the stage dimensions.
The retina display, is just a part of the iphone, a app will allways be for a retina display app as long as it is present on the phone. There is no special feature for this. its just a part of the phone.
And yes a icon is justa image, flash has nothing to do with the icon. It goes in a folder whilst your compiling it.

FLASH CS5 on iPhone

Hello,
Excuse me, but I'm new to using Flash. I recently installed FLASH CS5 and I'm trying to open up a new iPhone OS flash file. But unlike various videos, tutorials, etc that I'm following on line. I don't actually seem to have this on my version. Can anybody help me as I'm at a lose. The product is brand new and is for the MAC version? Thank you.

click file/new. you should see a new document menu that lists iPhone OS just under Adobe Air 2 in the general tab.

You can also use the following:
1 Select the object to rotate > Right Click > Create Motion Tween.
2 Click on the last frame of the Motion tween and choose the desired Rotation settings from Properties panel.

Version discrepancies in Flash CS5 and Catalyst CS5

A few month ago using ADL compiling for mobiles I noticed that the versions of ADL and AIR differed
in Flash CS5 and Catalyst. This caused me problems until I discovered it.
Package/version                       adl.exe              air.dll
Adobe Flash CS5                      2.0.1.12090       2.0.1.12090
Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5         1.5.3.9120         2.6.0.19120
I have seen the symptoms of this in other forums on the Internet.
No change even though I have updated the packages (last update of Flash came 2011-07-02).

The forums are not the place to post bugs/wishlist items.... Adobe rarely visits here. Use the link below, though it is probably too late for CS6 since CS6 appears to be on the verge of release - you can probably get a trial version of it and see for yourself.

Why is the Packager for iPhone guide for Flash CS5 and not Flash Builder?

Following this tutorial, I gave compiling an iPhone project via the command line a shot and found it very difficult. The commands are not clearly explained and have character errors (“ ” instead of " ", \ instead of /, etc.).
I've also downloaded the pdf that comes with the Packager for iPhone and tried to follow along, but the explanations are for developing in the Flash CS5 IDE...why is that? It seems that Flash Builder would be the logical development environment for developers and a dev guide...
Can anyone explain or perhaps direct me to an easier, more official tutorial on developing iPhone applications in Flash Builder? Thank you!

Because Flash CS5 users need more help than us Flex devs. jk
The "Packager for iPhone" was depreciated some time ago, so I imagine you are reading some old docs. Now (since FB 4.5), it's just another target platform in a Flex Mobile Project. Before then it was part of the ADT compiler which could be run in ANT (or a really long command line string), and before then it was actually the "packager for iPhone".
If you do not have FB 4.5 then maybe you can provide more info on the challenges your facing, and someone may be able to point you in the right direction.

How do I update content weekly in Flash CS5 Android/iPhone App?

Hi,
I am working on an eLearning app that provides some new content for users to learn on a weekly basis. I am currently developing for AIR 2.5 using Flash CS5. I am thinking whether it would be possible to either push a minimal amount of additional content each week to the user's device? Or, if it would be possible to link to a web-app and display the new content via the web-app? Are any of these two methods possible to acheive using Flash CS5? If, so, which would be the better solution? And how do you do it? Thank you for your help !

Best practices for Flash CS5 and Flash Builder 4 integration?

With Flash CS5's new XFL file structure/format, what's the best way to structure project files for Flash CS5 integration with Flash Builder 4? Flash CS5 autocreates a folder named after the xfl file as the outer container, and then all the assets/xfl within it. Should this folder be used as the project folder for Flash Builder 4, or better to nest the xfl container folder in a "real" project folder? I would presume the latter, since you might have multiple XFL files in one project. I was hoping to see some automatic linkages between document class of the Flash CS5 XFL file and any default ActionScript class created by Flash Builder, but so far I seem to need to specify a document class directly in Flash CS5's environment and making sure that the path to a default class created by Flash Builder is correct.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Most likely, you know that, but just in case, you can integrate new Flash project into existing Flex 4 project from within the Flash Builder by choosing either Flash Component or Flash Container from the FB Design view. In such workflow Flash Builder opens the Flash CS 4 (I assume that should be the same for CS5) and takes care of the integrating the newly created Flash project into original Flex 4 project.

Flash CS5 and updating to flash 10.3 and AIR 2.7

Hi, I have a simple question, but for the life of me I can't work out how to solve it.
I'm currently running Adobe Flash Professional CS5, and would like to update it to utilize some of the features in AIR 2.7 and Flash 10.3 / Flash 10.2. How do I do this?
I encountered a similar problem a ways back when AIR 2 was being released, and I had to resort to ultimately "overlay" the existing installations. I've looked around and found some similar third party resources pertaining to the latest updates, but I've failed to get them to work - some instructions for adding in 10.3 as a build target compile, but they don't seem to be running in 10.3, or the debug player is not running in 10.3.
Am I missing something really obvious? I'd think that when a major release is made, it should be straightforward to update your version of CSx to target that release, but it's anything but. I found the release notes for Flash 10.3(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/901/cpsid_90194.html#main_authoring), and under authoring it says:
"Developers can access new APIs in the Flash Player 10.3 by making manual changes to their existing SDK/tooling configuration. To learn more about the new APIs, read the online ActionScript 3 reference documentation. Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5, and Flex SDK 4.5 will not be updated for the new runtime."
Where can I find the manual changes required? And why do these releases require manual overlaying anyway?

Thanks for the reply.
After alot of messing around I managed to get Flash professional to have 10.3 as a target, and also managed to get a 10.3 version of the debugger to run when you select Debug Movie(Running Test Movie, which is what I usually do, still uses the original 10.1 player, and I can't find out how to update it). I'm not sure if it's buggy or I've done it wrong, because when targeting it to 10.3 and running my application through the 10.3 debugger, I seem to be loosing frame labels in some of my movie clips, getting an error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label off not found in scene off
This is odd, because
a) I don't get said error when running with Test Movie which uses a 10.1 version of the player, and I never had it before with other versions. The symbol triggering the error clearly has a frame labeled off
b) There is no scene off in my project, I only have one scene which was the default, and it's called Scene 1.
Doing some traces, it turns out that the object is not having it's frame labels read in the 10.3 player, which is very odd and indicates to me some kind of bug or incorrect installation, but since I get the exact same error running it under the 10.3 projector, I'm inclined to think bug .
With regards to AIR 2.7, why do we need CS5.5 to use it?

Flash CS5 and GraphAPI?

I have been searching for days for some sort of tutorials about how to connect to Facebook through GraphAPI in Flash CS5. There are tutorials for Flex and for AIR, but I can't find any information on how to do this in Flash. I found some code samples using the old Facebook API, but nothing with Graph. Anyone have any resources they can link me to? I don't understand why this should be so difficult to find.

Have you found any pure Flash example? I am having the same issue where I can find alot of Flex and Air applications.. .just not Flash.

Flash cs5 and cs3 crash on publish, export, copy frames etc.

Well hi, welcome to my nightmare
i've been working for a loooongg hugeeee time on an animation, it probably lasts over 20m, has tons of music, movieclips and videos. It's divided into 5 or 6 scenes don't remember exactly. The fla weighs about 550mb (im not using everything in the library anyway, i guess i could trim out a lot) and i CANNOT PUBLISH. im about to go absolutely nuts. If i publish, "Flash stopped responding", hi desktop! I'm running windows 7 x64 ultimate, have a quad-core q6600 4GB RAM DDR2 @667MHz, and a nvidia gtx260, which probably doesn't matter.
Okay, when i started to create the animation everything went smooth, as the fla got heavier and the animation more complex, i started to notice problems like "not enough memory to complete operation" and random crashes. I believe most of it has to do with flash having a poor memory management.
Anyway, the thing is that i cannot publish at all. I tried breaking the animation down to 4 files, so as to make lighter files and maybe get it to publish separately, but in the 4th scene, which has an embedded movie in it, i find it impossible to copy the frames to paste them into a new file. I copy the frames, and flash cs3 just stays there, stuck and not going anywhere, i have to kill the process in order to get out, and flash cs5 doesn't copy the frames at all, it loads for some time and then if i right click, the paste frames option is in grey, like unavailable.
So i'm stuck, i have all there and can't do anything with it!!!. I tried rendering the test scene for each scene but the same 4th scene has a problem! life hates me! the tweens inside the movie clips won't play on the swf... so i cant render test scenes to get separate swfs.
If anyone has any idea, they'd be my hero!!! please i really need to publish this, it was a whole lot of work and im surely not just leaving the fla in my hard drive to fall into oblivion, not a chance
pleeeeaseee help!!! thank you so much in advance!!!!!!

Flash CS5 and CS5.5 Crash when compiling

Hey,
We're running into an issue where CS5 and CS5.5 are crashing when compiling an FLA. Our class structure is rather large, and it seems flash is running out of memory. We narrowed it down to commenting/uncommenting any line of code will let it compile or crash. I can literally open any as file from our project, comment out 1 line of code and it will compile, comment it back in and flash crashes. Has anyone run into something like this before, and have any advice on fixing it?

Captivate 5 Crashing with Flash CS5 and Photoshop

Hello,
It's been awhile since I've been on the forums, so my apologies if this issue has already been posted.
I am running Captivate 5. I find when I am working on a file, if I open PhotoShop (12.0.4 64-bit edition) or Flash CS5 (11.0.2.489) at the same time Captivate is open, my instance of Captivate will crash and I will lose all work that I have not yet saved. Thankfully I've gotten into the habit of saving before opening these programs but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue and if so, has there been a workaround created?
I want to send a bug report in but I can't for the life of me get it to do it all the time - I can't provide them with exactly how I do it.
Thanks
Doug

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the response. That's what I had been doing with Photoshop, but I didn't think I'd have to do it with Flash as well! This morning, working in Captivate, open Flash, boom - bye bye this morning's work in Captivate!
Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.
Thanks!

How to use Flash Builder and iphone 3g?

Hi,
i've downloaded FB 4.5... and i'm trying to develop something on my iphone 3g, but i've discovered (with big disappointment) that it's not supported...
Is there any version (even a previous one) of FB that i could use in order to work with iphone 3g?
or... will there be a patch in the future to use that phone?
Many thanks
bye
Alex

Yes. I have Flash Builder 4.6 and 4.7 running in different Eclipse Luna installs.
More details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4527443
On Mac, I had to have the 32bit version of Luna for 4.6, and the 64bit version of Luna for 4.7 (and I recently started using 4.7 with Eclipse Mars).
For 4.6 you need to first download Eclipse 3.6 and install the Flash Builder 4.6 plugin to that Eclipse install. For 4.7 you need to download Eclipse 3.7 and install the plugin to that Eclipse install. Once it's installed in the 3.x version, you can then copy the fb*.link files from the Eclipse 3.x dropins folders into your Eclipse Luna's dropin folder.
There is an issue where something in Flash Builder 4.7 won't work right when using it as a plugin, not sure but it might be something with building ANEs.
