Flash Offline App

Hi all
I've been tasked to find a way to create a strictly offline
app, that still tracks a user's progress through the app, even
after they turn it off and back on again.
There's 2 issues that I can see already, and I'm not sure
what's the best solution for either.
1) Interacting with a local, offline database, which I
suppose is doable, but I can see issues here with Flash's security
pop ups. Is there a way around these? Particularly if you're
offline?
2) Flash doesn't allow you to write data to file at all,
correct? It never did in the past, but I'm not sure if it does in
CS3 (Even if it does, I can still see security issues with this as
well).
What about Adobe Air, does this require online content, or
can you track things locally with it offline?
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks again
Chris

You in theory are able to use old versions of flash and
actionscript to publish to AIR, but I have yet to see an actual
example of someone doing it. Plus, I believe, if you publish to AIR
using Flash CS3, you only have the option of using AS3 (it doesn't
give you an option)

""Install Adobe Flash Player.app" can't be opened because... not downloaded from the Mac App Store"

I jsut upgraded to 10.9 and it is up to date and also my safari is up to date (no updates available for it). My safari is saying that my flash is out of date. when I follow the links it lets me download but when I double click to install it tell me "“Install Adobe Flash Player.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.". When I install the flash UNinstaller and try to install that, it tells me the same. I ALSO found the exact same problem when I tried to install the acrobat installer (some tried to download a pdf and the page told me that my acrobat reader 'might' be out of date). Any thought?

You're running up against the GateKeeper.
Download the offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X) by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As".
Mount the DMG and when it opens, right click the installer and choose "Open".
You'll see a warning. Click "Open" again.
It will run from there.

Apple's "FLASH KILLER" App

Will Apple (or someone) please make a Flash killer? Just as Final Cut Pro was a breathe of fresh air to the nonsense of Avid & Premiere, we need a simliar thing to happen to Adobe Flash.
FLASH KILLER APP
- A vector brush tool that's not like drawing with a tube of toothpaste. Professional content requires professional tools.
- The ability both import and export between other applications & common formats seamlessly.
          - Ability to import and export layered files (PSD/TIF) between other apps, including layers within nested timelines.
            Most workflows are circular with other apps, not linear.
                   ( http://web.me.com/jedoralive/techSupport/NESTING_FOLDERS.html )
- HTML5 and SWF compatibility
- An artist friendly interface (What pages was to MSword)
- 3D compatibility
- An artist friendly coding language (this is one of the only things Adobe Flash has gotten right).
- Image Frame mode (option to see images in frames).
- Storyboard Frames View mode (Ability to turn your timeline into a full screen storyboard. Can drag and drop frames where desired. Great for brainstorming and sketching something out beforehand, then stepping back to look at it during creation. Toggleable Timeline < > Storyboard Views. *Could add a slider to adjust how many frames it counts before making a new storyboard preview.
- Smart Libary Pasting. In Flash you either get to keep the existing symbols, or replace them with new ones when pasting from one doc to another. In my experience, when you paste something you often want BOTH things in there. I'd definitely include that very basic option.
Anyone else? What do you wish Flash could do?

HTML5 support via iOS is extended yet again with an updated webkit in iOS 5.

You can't open the application Adobe Flash CS4.app because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Can someone help me with that one ? When I am trying to run Flash after install I get this error message:

Here’s some updates.
I can not uninstall Flash (CS4) using "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium". It looks like Flash is not installed.
If I try to install it using the disk, it looks like Flash is not installed at all. So I go thrue the installation process, and follow the instructions, until it’s complete.
But if I go in my App folder, and look in the Adobe Flash CS4 folder the Flash.app icon has a circle with a bar in it. This is when I get the message.

Inserting Metadata events in a live stream using non-flash client app

Hi all,
I wish to insert captions into a live flash video stream.
I found an example here : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/metadata_video_streaming_print.html
but this example uses a Flash client app wich can invoke something like
video_nc.call("sendDataEvent",null,inputfield_txt.text);
How can do this without any Flash client/environment ? (I of course still use an FMS 3.5)
I would like to use a python (or php...whatever) piece of code to extract caption from VBI in the incoming video stream and insert it in the flash stream.
Any help / experience appreciated.
Regards
Michel

Well, I'll ask it a different way :
Is there any documentation on the protocol used between Flash client and FMSI so that I can "fake" the flash client using php ?
Is there a way to call sendDataEvent function on the FMSI NOT using a Flash client ?
Thanks
Regards

any content and images related changes has been done in config folder, theme ralated changes has been done in theme folder, www folder is the main template.
Can you please let me know, how it will be built initially, i mean what knowledge should be for this. I have not finding a proper way to built this but this app folder contain html, css, js files.
Thanks,
Susanta

Out of curiosity. What is it you can do with JS that cannot be done with an applet and an active server (e.g. something that can run PHP, JSP, ASP..)?We require the app to run completely offline (or rather, the client does) (i.e.) no Internet connection. We have tried giving them an install with a portable apache and PHP, which has worked in the past but not for this client. So we were attempting to use HTML 5 for storing data offline, but the lack of support for offline caching in the Java Plug-in is the only thing holding us back, I guess we'll just have to wait for Sun to catch up :)

Safari 7.0.4 Flash in-app Ad issues

Safari 7.0.4 does not block the In-app flash ads... I tried Glimmberblocker, Safari extension, actually downloaded safari adblock from their site. Non of them works. Anyone know how to block the flash in-app ads??? I mean before you start a video there is stupid commerical ads playing. I dont want to use other browsers besides Safari. But Apple really need to fix this ASAP! or if anyone figured out please let me know!!! Thanks so much!

Basically look at the comparison between Safari 7.0.4 & Google Chrome. The in-app flash ad is blocked automatically when I use chrome browser, however safari 7.0.4 starts automatically with ad while adblocker is installed. It is not from extension, i actually tried the extension and it did the same thing. I went to their main site and downloaded, but the result is same. See pictures below.

Flash iOS App Languages on iTunes

After publishing my Flash iOS App to iTunes I see huge array of languages, even though my game is only in English. In my descriptor, I only provided an English name and description.
Languages: English, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish
Is there a way to remove these or add other languages that are not on this list?
I understand its not possible via iTunesConnect its something inside the binary file.

I am working on window 7 - if rename the binary file to ZIP and open it, removing the XX.lproj folders - would that do the trick?
I see the "_CodeSignature/CodeResources" file is also related to the XX.lproj folders
Should i just not tuch it and wait for the fix?
Thanks for your advice.

Flash AIR app cannot load child swfs on publish to device

I have been struggling with this problem for WEEKS now and can't solve it. I have an flash AIR app (creative cloud, AIR 3.8) which is very simple: all it does is load external SWF movies on the click of a start button. It works FINE in test/PC but when I publish to device, the external swfs do not load.
Here is the code on the main timeline that calls the external swfs:
//start button
start_button_TRI_desmatosuchus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3,false,0,true);
import fl.display.ProLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
var fl_ProLoader_02:ProLoader;
var fl_ToLoad_02:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3(event:MouseEvent):void
          if(fl_ToLoad_02)
                    fl_ProLoader_02 = new ProLoader();
                    fl_ProLoader_02.load(new URLRequest("dinofilms/triassic_desmatosuchus.swf"));
                    fl_ProLoader_02.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete_02 )
                    addChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                    fl_ProLoader_02.x = 0;
                    fl_ProLoader_02.y = 144;
          else
                    if (fl_ProLoader_02!=null) {
                              removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                              fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();
                              fl_ProLoader_02 = null;
          fl_ToLoad_02 = !fl_ToLoad_02;
function onComplete_02(e:Event):void {
          e.currentTarget.content.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);
function OEF_02(e:Event):void {
          if (e.currentTarget.currentFrame==e.currentTarget.totalFrames) {
                    e.currentTarget.stop();
                    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);
                    removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                    fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();
                    fl_ProLoader_02 = null;
I am calling about 30 different movies on 30 different frames, so that's why I am using tags like "proLoader_01" so I don't duplicate them. All the external swfs are of course listed in the included files too.
I would really appreciate the assistance, I am a reluctant coder!

OK, I replaced all the "ProLoader" instances with "Loader" and I am getting an error, below (see***)

Your favorite Flash based apps ?

I'm writing an article on the unexpected and underestimated power of using Flash to develop apps for the iPhone/iPad. It seems that most developers and designers are still under the "No Flash" mantra of Steve Jobs. However, it is hard to find good examples of Flash based apps, since they're simply not promoted as such in the App Store. It also seems that the number of available Flash based apps is not that impressive, judging by the (lack of) developers talking about it on the web or in forums. I just find stumble upon stale pages on the old debate or even older pre-CS5 techniques...
There used to be this list:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/
But it refers to the new Packager, now.
So, who can help me out ?
What's your favorite Flash app for iOS ?
Are there any lists or spots where they all flock together ?
UPDATE: Oops, I didn't scroll deep enough in the topic list to find out there's already another thread that touts examples of Flash based apps. However, your suggestions are welcome, of course !

Workaround found: Install Adobe Flash Player.app seems to be damaged

Like many other Mac users, today I tried to update to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. The downloaded Install Adobe Flash Player.app (v3.3.9.0) seems to be damaged. It seems to have been inappropriately altered so its code-signing no longer works with the Mac OS X Gatekeeper. Even worse, switching the Gatekeeper off won't give any better chance to run the Installer.
This is what the Console tells:
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 coreservicesd[65]: Application App:"Install Adobe Flash Player" [ 0x0/0x7b07b] @ 0x0x7f93206ca360 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs ( ( ASN:0x0-0x7d07d:) ), so denying.
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 WindowServer[127]: [cps/setfront] Failed setting the front application to Install Adobe Flash Player, psn 0x0-0x7b07b, securitySessionID=0x186a5, err=-13066

Google pointed me beside others to this page which informs that users won't have a real chance to fix it:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62707/how-to-get-installers-not-to-hang-on-waitin g-for-other-installations-to-complet
It seems as if this isn't new to Adobe:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1151807
Counting this and the big bunch of error reports in this forum, I guess you Flash developer guys here at Adobe should check and fix the Installer soon.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
Here is a workaround that worked for me: Download the Flash Player archive 12.0.0.44 from this Archive page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player% 20archives
When it is unzipped, you will find a folder named fp_12.0.0.44_archive in your Downloads folder. Open its subfolder 12_0_r0_44, and run the flashplayer_12_0r0_44_mac.dmg.

I have upgraded to Yosemite but had this problem prior to that. What I did find that work was to use the Disk Utility.app to recreate the dmg file.
Try this:
Right click on the dmg in Finder.
Choose: Open With->Disk Utility.app
Once open:
Select the dmg image at the bottom left in the list view.
Choose First Aid tab
Choose Verify
Choose Repair
On the Top Toolbar choose Convert
Use standard selections and place the new image on the Desktop
Dbl click on new DMG image file and it should work.

Is Flash Lite app compatible with MS Marketplace

Now that WM6.5 has been officially released, I am wondering if a Flash Lite app packaged by the Mobile Packager would pass the MS guidelines for applications to be listed on Marketplace. Have anyone tried it out yet?

Hi,
MS terms for their marketplace are designed to control the use of other web runtimes, including Flash. They state that only Windows managed code will be accepted, which rules out our binaries.
You may want to look at developer.open-plug.com for their ELIPS tool which produces nice applications using Adobe Flex tools.

Is there any plan to create a HTML5 shell for flash player apps & interactive elements?

Is there any plan to create a HTML5 shell for flash player apps and elements? The canvas option is very limited and many apps & old, interactive flash elements no longer work on most mobile devices.

HTML5 is the "anti-flash", so to speak. It requires no plug-ins. HTML5 is MP4 which is QuickTime video. That's the "shell" for it.
Steve Jobs said in 2006, when iOS was first released, that "playing Flash content is processor consumptive and drains batteries in mobile devices, reducing their life." That's why Apple iOS devices have never been compatible with Flash, and also why Android dropped support for the technology in June of 2012.
Android has "Dolphin" and "Puffin" browsers, which render Flash content (video and animations) "server side" to reduce the load on mobile devices running Android. Likewise, Apple has "SkyFire" which works the same way, but is designed specifically for iOS.

Ipad 3 supports FLASH/FLEX Apps, web or not

ipad 3 supports FLASH/FLEX Apps, web or not?

Apps, yes. Embedded in a web-page, no.
Specifically, a FLEX application bundled as an iOS app and sold through the App Store or distributed ad hoc using an enterprise license will work just fine.
Embedded FLASH (e.g., in a web-page) requires that the browser have a Flash plug-in. iOS doesn't support browser plug-ins, and Adobe dropped development and support for mobile versions of Flash (iOS and Android) a year ago (and laid off the staff related to it), so there will never be one. For what it's worth, Adobe has made it clear that it's also going to drop support for desktop browser plugins as well in the near future (in part because of the wider array of browsers requiring support, and also because Microsoft is dropping browser plugin support from their Windows 8 Metro browser and from their Windows RT browsers).
Going forward, Adobe presumes everyone will stick with HTML5+JavaScript in browsers and a FLEX will be used for standalone application development. They are already modifying their products to reflect this change.
