Flash CS6 + iPad Simulator

Hello
I'm building an iPad project with Flash CS6 + Air 3.4 for iOS
In the "Air for iOS Settings" box I've set the path to the iOS Simulator as:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SD Ks/iPhoneSimulator6.0.sdk
The app is published for iPad only in the 'Device' dropdown.
When I debug the app using the iOS simulator it brings up the iPhone simulator instead of the iPad one.
I'm guessing the problem is...
1. I need to do a special download from Apple to install the iPad simulator
2. There is a bug in CS6 that launches the iPhone sim even though it's an iPad app
3. Some setting I'm forgetting about
Thanks for any hints!

Yes, that one. The simulator has a menu where you can change the device you're simulating. It doesn't know what Flash wants, and it will remember the setting next time. So, set that to iPad.

Flash CS6 - mobile Simulator

How do you use Simulator? I see options, but I don't see anything happening... i don't see my content visible there...

Hi,
I also had this problem.
I found that rebooting Flash helped to refresh the Sim Controller.
Then sometimes it works one time in the simulator, sometimes not.
If it works more than once I feel lucky, but it usually fails the next time I test it ( without changing any code ).
This is obviously a bug. I think that there is some kind of connection between the simcntroller app and ADL which is failing. It's probably timing?

Problem installing Adhoc version to iPhone and iPad - Development Environment Is - Adobe Flash CS6

Hi,
I have successfully submitted 2 versions of the application. There are 2 different versions for iPad and iPhone separately. These were developed using Adobe Flash CS6 and AIR SDK - 4.0.0.1628. The category is Lifestyle and app is free.
Now I wanted to add new feature of push notification to both iPad and iPhone versions. I have successfully tested the development version with development profiles and certificates over iPad and iPhone.
Before submitting the app to Appstore I was trying to test the Adhoc version with production environment and profiles but application was not installing to the iPad, it is the same iPad that is used for development. But after searching forums and other help Adhoc version was not installed to iPad the solutions that were tried are as under:
1. Create new certificates and profile for Adhoc
2. Change Entitlement tags in Application xml file
3. Remove existing profiles from iPad to avoid error.
4. Update OS version of iPad to 8.1
But once I try to last point - [4] even development version is not installing. Because there are no provision profiles installed.
Can you please help/guide me how to fix it? I need to test both development and Adhoc versions on the iPad and iPhone.
Some more information -->>
// Development Entitlement key - it is working fine with development environment
<Entitlements><![CDATA[
          <key>aps-environment</key>
            <string>production</string>

Flash CS6 does not publish for iOS with ANE included

Hi,
I'm creating a game to run on iOS devices and one of the game requirement is for the device to vibrate on some action.
I added the Vibration.ane file (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/vibration.html) into the library path in Flash CS6 and also added the extension ID to the XML file. However when I publish the Flash file to check on device, I only keep seeing the "Publishing" loader bar. I've even waited for over 15 mins for it to complete. I get no error, nor does the PC hang, but I can't seem to publish my .app file for device testing.
Also I assume we can't test Vibration functionality with the Simulator that opens during desktop testing. I get the error "The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.adobe.Vibration is not supported for Windows-x86."
Would appreciate help.
Thanks,
Mariam

IPA is ok at the CS6 flash' standard 3.2 export, just tried the new AIR 3.3 also - no problems. I just included the Gyro ANE file, not the SWC
However, because the adl still does not want to preview this thing, development/testing the Gyro stuff is difficult...
I discovered the accelerometer is something different however. Adobe's little remote control thingy on which you can simulate phone position and multitouch emulates the accelerometer, not the Gyro. The Gyro extension taps in to a piece of hardware which really displays the position of the device, not the movement it's been receiving.
Maybe obvious but I thought I'd post this little find, after a day of testing and exporting, syncing, ... this was a tiresome experience...
After all this I can advise to sync the .ipa's with xcode though, instead of iTunes. This works MUCH faster (if you're on mac). Just run xcode, pull up the 'organizer window', select your device and go to the subbranch ' applications'. There you can add the .ipa by clicking on the '+' button

Exit in ios using flash CS6

Hi,
I am using flash CS6 to create an iPad application. I want to exit the app when user click on home button. Is there any way to do it programatically?
I have published the ipa file. Then change the extenstion to zip. Open the "application.xml"which is in the AIR folder.
The previous code in the xml was:
<iPhone>
    <InfoAdditions>
      <![CDATA[<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>2</string></array>]]>
    </InfoAdditions>
    <requestedDisplayResolution>standard</requestedDisplayResolution>
</iPhone>
I have changed it to the:
<iPhone>
    <InfoAdditions>
      <![CDATA[<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>2</string></array><key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key> <true/>]]>
    </InfoAdditions>
    <requestedDisplayResolution>standard</requestedDisplayResolution>
</iPhone>
Save the file.
Again convert extension from zip to ipa and tried to installed it on iPad.
But, now the application failed to installed.
Could any one tell me what may be wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swapnil

If you have never synced an audiobook yet, you have to connect your ipad and go to the books tab.
Scroll down past the regular books and there will be where you sync your audiobooks.
Then they will show up on the music app under "other"

Flash CS6 AIR error: CreateWinProcess failed with error 2. The system cannot find the file specified

I created an AIR application in Adobe Flash CS6, but when I test, debug or publish it, an error always occured.
CreateWinProcess failed with error 2. The system cannot find the file specified.
When I clicked OK, Flash suddenly stops responding, so I need to end the process using Task Manager.
I created a blank FLA document and tested and published it, everything's fine there. It was exported properly. But when I do it with the AIR app, Flash can't even start exporting the SWF of the AIP app, and instead gave me the error.
I speculate that there is something wrong with the Java command line stuff Flash is doing behind the curtain. I tried using ADL myself and get the AIR app working fine.
I also found out that Flash has its own JRE installed, so I don't have to bother the JRE used by my computer.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance. Have a nice day!

I installed the update, but I'm sorry to say that it did not solve the problem
The error is still there as described by Master §ix and Daniel777
CreateWinProcess failed with error 2. The system cannot find the file specified.
It happens when trying to test, debug, or publish air applications (AIR 2.5 – AIR 3.4 , desktop, android, iOS)
In this case, I can't use the simulator to test the applications,
thanks

Correct Flash CS6 iOS publish settings for iPhone?

My programmer and I are trying to publish an iOS app for iPhone from Flash cs6 and are being rejected because "Your app did not run at iPhone resolution and/or 2x iPhone 3GS resolution when reviewed on iPad. The contents of your app are not displayed within the confines of the screen."
In Flash CS6 iOS publish settings there is an option to export for iPad Only, iPhone Only, and for iPad and iPhone. iTunes Connect is sending us a screenshot that shows what we see when we publish a development IPA file using the iPad and iPhone setting. But the IPA file we submitted to them was published using the iPhone Only settings which when viewed on the iPad2 shows up inside the little iPhone 1X frame and can be expanded to 2X as well. I believe this is what they are saying is not happening when they do the same.
Has anyone else who uses Flash had this issue? If so what stage size and what publish settings should be used when trying to create an iPhone only app?
Thanks in advance, Patrick

iPhone only app should be published with stage size:
640x960 for portrait view
960x640 for landscape view
... if the app are going to be fullscreen.

Issues with Creative Cloud/ Flash CS6

Hello, I've recently (Friday, March 15, 2013) restarted my subscription to Creative Cloud for Flash Pro CS6, but I haven't been able to open the application.
However, I've contacted tech support (by phone and chat), but I still couldn't get any luck.
What I've already tried (numerous times), but failed:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash though the app manager
Opening it through creative.adobe.com (still had the option for to "Try" it only)
Updating Flash CS6
Rebooting my PC
Rebooting internet connection
Opening Flash on another PC (still no luck)
No matter what I tried, it kept taking me to the page requesting a serial code, when I'm supposed to have a subscription. I've had previous subscriptions to Creative Cloud and never had this problem until now. What's really worse is, that the payment has already been posted and taken out of my card and yet I can't use what I paid for. It's an extremely unsavory feeling to pay $30.00 for something you can't even use. Sorry to sound blunt, but I could really use some help (or a refund) to resolve this issue. I'd also appreciate it if you could let me know if you're having a similar issue and/or know of a workaround to the problem!
Thank you and have a nice day!
Crystal

I've tried your suggestion, but unfortunately, I couldn't even get past the third step because I still wasn't able to open Flash, even when I did follow the first two steps. Just a thought: I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed, but I know that it's not part of CS, but could it possibly be something with PSE 9 interfering with the app manager? Though, I have had PSE 9, a trial of Illustrator CS5, and a subscription to CC for Flash CS6 installed on my computer once before, I had no problem whatsoever. But now I just have PSE 9 and (Flash CS6). I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the issue I'm having, but I just wanted to make sure.
Anyway, I really appreciate your help! Thank you!

I need help to install Toolkit CreateJS for Flash CS6.

Hi,
I need help in installing CreateJS for Flash CS6. I had downloaded the Toolkit CreateJS from here: http://www.adobe.com/go/downloadcreatejs and here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs/articles/using-flash-pro-toolkit- createjs.html. When I attempted to install the extension using Adobe Extension Manager, the installation files did not have the required .zxp or .mxp files. It only had a file with a .mxi extension. Please advise. Thanks.

Why installing IIS o_O?
For Installing a developer Machine just install Oracle Developer suite; for testing your forms you use OC4J ("start OC4J instance" in start menu), and you can run your forms in web; no need for a aditional webserver (don't believe there's an OC4J connector for IIS available; and if so I wouldn't use it either ;-))
For Installing a server for "productional" use install Oracle Application Server (available on otn) which comes with an Apache as webserver and all the other needful things for runnung forms on the web.
For configuring both of them just take a look at the documentations on http://otn.oracle.com

How can I use a file in flash cs6 that I made in flash cs5.5 air for android

I have made an app in in air for android in flash cs5.5 air for android, and I want to edit it in cs6 and play it in cs6.
But if I put Ctrl+Enter I got an error: createWin process failed with error 2: system couldn't find the file. I think the problem is that I'am using air for android 2.6 version in flash cs5.5 and version 3.2 in flash cs6. I have searched the web and found out that you can add older air versions using the sdk manager and I have tried it but first I get the error that the version of the sdk I am trying to install is not valid and after some files that I added to the sdk folder I get this error:Only SDK higher than version 3.4.2540 may be added.
I there a possible way to update the air for android for an fla or apk? Or how can I let my originally file work fine in flash cs6??

system couldn't find the file
If you can´t get a more specific hint why your project can´t compile then I can think of some reasons theis error might occur
1.You had files included besides the swf, like videos, audio files, xml files, that are not present in the place air expects them to be
2.somewhere in your createWin functions there is a class import needed that isn`t present in 3.2 anymore, for example some classes or functions from classes that were valid in 2.6 are not any more in 3.2
3. to achieve better eror logging, allow for debugging in the publishing options and see what specific lines in your code throw the error
4.any air app needs a cert file, this needs to be created once, if you migrated to e new system it might be you never created that file which air expects to even begin the compiling process
once you isolate the problem, report back

How do I move Flash CS6 from an old computer to a new one?

I installed CC and CS6 on my computer when it was first introduced years ago. Now I need to upgrade to a new computer. The CC on the new computer does not show Flash CS6 support. I require AS2 since I have created many apps with it for my customers and need to continue to support them. I do not intend to switch to AS3 because I have too many old apps to change over.
How do I install Flash CS6 on my new computer so I can remove it from my old one and get rid of it?
Thanks!

You can install Flash CS6 on your new machine with your Creative Cloud subscription.
Sign in with your Adobe ID on the page https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash. You can then toggle the version from CC to CS6 and click the blue Download button. This will make the Creative Cloud app download and install the CS6 version.

How can I see the same configuration make in Flash CS6, in Flash CC?

In Flash CS6, when making the configuration to create a new flash file, I would put AS2 and Flash Player 9. I would review those configurations in the publish settings panel. If I open that same file (made in CS6) using the Flash CC, the publish settings display from 10.3 and AS3. Is there a way to check those configurations that I had on CS6, using Flash CC? I have a production of 200 banners made in CS6 but have now installed Flash CC. I would like to know how can I verify from Flash CC that all banners are made in Flash Player 9 and AS2.

no, flash pro cc does not support as2.
continue to use flash pro cs6 for as2 projects.

Any ideas for reducing lag in my animation (flash cs6)?

I'm creating something for a local college in Flash CS6 and it lags in a couple spots (in the very beginning after clicking enter and after clicking on a location on the map) and it would obviously be really nice to get rid of that lag. The only thing i know to try in order to help with lag is to break down all grouped artwork and to convert tweens into frame by frame. I've done this and it hasn't changed anything so I was hoping someone else would have another idea. Ive uploaded the swf and flash file to dropbox. What is in the dropbox is not the final product I need to add the videos thats are going to be in it (they pop up once you press the play button) but other then the videos that is as complicated as the file is going to get. This lag started happening from the get go of working on this project once I had the barebones of the menu system figured out. It hasn't gotten any worse since then even after all the things I've added.

Let me know if there is more information you want me to provide. Im really willing to try anything to sort this out.
Thanks in advance.

the following is an excerpt (Flash Game Development: In a Social, Mobile and 3D World),
Optimization Techniques
Unfortunately, I know of no completely satisfactory way to organize this information. In what follows, I discuss memory management first with sub-topics listed in alphabetical order. Then I discuss CPU/GPU management with sub-topics listed in alphabetical order.
That may seem logical but there are, at least, two problems with that organization.
I do not believe it is the most helpful way to organize this information.
Memory management affects CPU/GPU usage, so everything in the Memory Management section could also be listed in the CPU/GPU section.
Anyway, I am going to also list the information two other ways, from easiest to hardest to implement and from greatest to least benefit.
Both of those later listings are subjective and are dependent on developer experience and capabilities, as well as, the test situation and test environment. I very much doubt there would be a consensus on ordering of these lists. Nevertheless, I think they still are worthwhile.
Easiest to Hardest to Implement
Do not use Filters.
Always use reverse for-loops and avoid do-loops and avoid while-loops.
Explicitly stop Timers to ready them for gc (garbage collection).
Use weak event listeners and remove listeners.
Strictly type variables whenever possible.
Explicitly disable mouse interactivity when mouse interactivity not needed.
Replace dispatchEvents with callback functions whenever possible.
Stop Sounds to enable Sounds and SoundChannels to be gc'd.
Use the most basic DisplayObject needed.
Always use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with air apps (i.e., mobile devices).
Reuse Objects whenever possible.
Event.ENTER_FRAME loops: Use different listeners and different listener functions applied to as few DisplayObjects as possible.
Pool Objects instead of creating and gc'ing Objects.
Use partial blitting.
Use stage blitting.
Use Stage3D.
Greatest to Least Benefit
Use stage blitting (if there is enough system memory).
Use Stage3D.
Use partial blitting.
Use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with mobile devices.
Explicitly disable mouse interactivity when mouse interactivity not needed.
Do not use Filters.
Use the most basic DisplayObject needed.
Reuse Objects whenever possible.
Event.ENTER_FRAME loops: Use different listeners and different listener functions applied to as few DisplayObjects as possible.
