Flash Pro CS6 and Adobe AIR (and Android APK)

I have a compiled SWF that I can't convert to a newer ActionScript 3.0 format. Anything that I try breaks the file. It is basically just an animation with a tad bit of code on the Movie Clips. I can't seem to identify the culprit that causes the newer files to generate with errors so I have decided to use the load method to load the ActionScript 1/2 format into an AS 3.0 container. This still does not work for generating APK's directly.
However when I generate a desktop AIR file it plays just fine.
Is there a way to take the AIR file and convert it to an APK using the command line? I have heard of using adt on the command line but most posts speak of converting SWF's directly. I would like to try it with the already-compiled AIR file. If I use the SWF I might as well compile that into a non-functioning APK directly from Flash. That's not what I'm looking to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi kglad,
Yes I have the original FLA.
I think you're right, working with it to convert it to AS3 would be optimal. Unfortunately it is not such an easy task because I tried that route already and I thought I had a good file but in the Android APK it still played back strangely. With the desktop AIR I didn't have any problems after using the original FLA to reauthor the SWF movie.
I also find it strange that when I try to import the SWF into a version of Flash below CC it does not import properly. I guess at runtime it takes some of the ActionScript commands into account but at import-time to get it into the Library or on Stage it throws the AS out the window.
Best,

Does GPU upgrade makes Flash Pro Cs6 faster?

Hi,
I have been using Flash Pro cs6 for character animation and when i zoom in zoom out the response is slow and also when i am scrolling to may timeline.
I have lots of symbols and tweening.
I notice that when I use the pc in the office its much smoother so i am planning to upgrade my own pc at home.
I have:
Amd Phenom II X4 840
8 gb ram
ATI Firepro v4800
I have a limited budget so i am thinking if i upgrade my GPU with Asus GTX strix 960 2gb, will it solve the issue?

No. GPU acceleration is only used on playback of published files and for video decoding. Your main processor is the bottleneck here.

Cannot install Adobe AIR and CS6 suite

Hi folks,
Lets start with: i am the build in local admin account! i did run as admin! and as far as i know i got rights on everything.
Windows 7 SP1 64bit.
I did try selective boot through msconfig, and i did try it also in safe modes in the most minimal state.
Creating a shortcut with the "-uninstall" string obviously not work, because there is no more installation of Adobe air or CS6 products installed on my machine.
This is what the Adobe AIR installer log tells me,

I googled my cute little hiney off, for almost 2 full days now.. spent alot of time in the Win7 register and in deep hidden windows folders.
As far as i know i completly removed Adobe Air and CS6 products.
Also tried the adobe creative cloud cleaner tool everyone is talking about, but it not even start on my machine?!
Why the hell! i cannot install Adobe AIR or CS6 Products?
If you need more information, i am happy to give it to you.
PS
Adobe flash, shockwave and Reader work perfect?!!?!?!?!
I leave problems reports about Adobe CS6 products out of this discussion for now, because i have a feeling that the problem is connected with eachother.

Hi,

Operating system
Android™ 2.2*
If I am getting it correctly, both requires same ARM version, and Hardware Vector FPU.
But I have found many devices, where Adobe Flash is installed and running. (If market does not show Adobe Flash, device manufacturer provides flash apk which works)
But can not install Adobe Air. Market does not show Adobe Air.
Is there any way to sort this out?
I get feeling that as Flash is more popular software, people have got patched version for the same. But for Air, it does not exist.
Thanks

How do I get someone to activate my Flash pro cs6 after I properly deactivated it and now it won't reactivate. I need a phone number or email address or something.

I may need to reformat my computer soon. It has been acting badly. So, in accordance with instructions I have gotten from FLASH I deactivated Flash Pro CS6 before I turned off my computer to save myself a problem if the computer died before I deactivated FLASH. Now, when I get back into FLASH PRO CS6 the "deactivate" button is grayed. Who do I talk to about this and how do I contact them?

See if the following helps...

BUG - saving with both flash pro CS6 and CC causes library symbol names to change

Concise problem statement:
If you save with flash pro CC and then save with CS6, in the library panel, symbol names are changed.
Specifically, pipes | and trailing spaces ("|Divider", "Divider ") get replaced by escape sequences ("&#124Divider", "Divider&#032" ...) Ampersands & and number signs # also get replaced, such that symbol names grow exponentially if you continue to save with both flash pro CC and CS6 ("Divider&#032", "Divider&#038&#035032", "Divider&#038&#035038&#038&#035035032" ...) This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
Sometimes, the original-name symbol remains, and an escaped-name symbol is also created. In this case, the children are removed from the original-name symbol, so it doesn't render anything to the screen; a mysterious, silent failure.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a library symbol named "|", save an xfl with flash pro CC, and close.
2. Open, save, and close with flash pro CS6.
3. Open, save, and close with flash pro CC.
Results:
A library symbol named "&#124".
Expected results:
A library symbol named "|".
I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix. Has anyone else encountered this bug?

Hi,
We are aware of this issue and its open for investigation internally. This issue is observed when you have certain special characters in your symbol names and try to open that file in Flash CS6. This happens due to a change in the way symbol naming is handled in Flash CC and in Flash CS 6.
As a workaround, request you to use only Underscore or Hyphen as special characters while naming symbols or library layers etc.
We shall update you as soon as this has been fixed.
Thanks,
Nipun

Flash Pro CS6, JSFL, and SpriteSheetExporter.exportSpriteSheet()

Hi, I've been trying to use SpriteSheetExporter.exportSpriteSheet() but it just reports the following error: "Argument number 1 is invalid"
The documentation says to pass a (file) path for the first argument. I've tried to pass both a platform path and a URI to a file to the method without success.
The documentation seems to need some clean up too:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/extend/WSd5f4b6c52cfaa4b1-d3431961351cb0528c-7ffb.htm l
Anyone have a working example?

Same problem here. Mac OS X 10.8.2, Flash Pro CS6 12.0.2.529.
I've tried passing valid paths using valid URI, platform path, relative path, w or w/o file name and extension... all result in the same exception being thrown:
exportSpriteSheet: Argument number 1 is invalid.
var document = fl.getDocumentDOM();var timeline = document.getTimeline();var fileName = document.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');var fileDir = document.path.replace(/[\/\\][^\/\\]+$/, ''); var item = document.library.getSelectedItems()[0];var spriteName = item.timeline.name;var exportDir = FLfile.platformPathToURI(fileDir); //+'/../../app/data/scenes'); var format = {format:"png", bitDepth:32, backgroundColor:"#00000000"};var writemeta = false; var sse = new SpriteSheetExporter();sse.addSymbol(item);sse.layoutFormat = "easeljs"; var path = spriteName +'.png';path = exportDir +'/'+ path;//path = FLfile.uriToPlatformPath(path); fl.trace('export '+ item +' using '+ sse +' to '+ path);var result = sse.exportSpriteSheet(null, format, writemeta);fl.trace('result: '+ result);
Please fix!

Does updating Flash Player and Adobe Air solve the Swf.Exploit.CVE_2014_0581 problem?

My ClamXav found the following attached to an app (JL Edwardian Advent Calendar) on my computer: Swf.Exploit.CVE_2014_0581. I have deleted and reinstalled the app, and I have updated the Flash Player and Adobe Air, but ClamXav continues to mark it as infected. Could this be a false positive? Is it safe to run this app after the updates?

Added one yesterday:

Interestingly air 3.7 on IOS to Desktop air 3.7 will work.
I am investigating if I can use 3.7 on Android to connect to 3.7 on iOS - so far I cannot get the apk to install on my Galaxy S3, compile using 3.4 and all is good. Air runtime has been updated via Play store - and build uses compiled runtime.
I cannot get Flash player 11.4 to connect with air 3.7 on iOS either.
NetGroup.Neighbour.Connect never fires.
All SDKS above 3.4 upto 3.8 beta exhibit the same problem.
3.4 works perfectly and can connect to flash player, and other Air/iOS devices just fine.
Shuld not be a issue with firewalls etc, thay are all open.
I can email you the fla, it is for a product so I can't post it here.
Thanks,
Steve.

Adobe AIR and Adobe´s About Flash -site?

I encountered a strange thing while checking if I have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.
When I go to About Flash page (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) I instantly get the following notification on separate window:
"Adobe AIR
Something went wrong trying to install this application.
Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again."
I´dont have Adobe AIR installed on my computer. Notification shows up with Firefox and Safari and only when I´m logged in as an Administrator. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.
My questions are 1) Has anyone else encountered the same thing? 2) why does About Flash page communicate with Adobe AIR?

You don't need AIR runtime on iOS; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air-on-ios-faq.html#b

Adobe Air and Flash: Safe or Unsafe?

Adobe Air and Flash-- I use PoserPro2014, and it makes use of Adobe Air to run the Library. I'm getting requests to update the Air component. The tutorials use Flash. I get messages that the Flash "is out of date" and can't watch the tutorials. I
I'm running 10.9.4. My concern is about how Air and Flash may cause problems for my computer. Are the latest versions of Air and Flash safe to upgrade to?

Flash and Java are the two top vectors for malware on any computer. It is imperative that you keep Flash updated to the latest version at all times. As for your concern about problems by updating Air or Flash the prudent thing to do is to create a bootable clone of your working system using a well known cloning app such as Super Duper. Create the bootable clone on a freshly formatted, external hard drive, then boot from that clone, update Flash and Air on that clone to the latest version, then test to see if you have problems with your PoserPro software. If all is well then restart from your normal boot drive and update.
I note that PoserPro is a product of Smith Micro Software, Inc. This company has a very bad reputation regarding OS X compatibility, timely updates, and responses to customer service issues.

Flash Builder and Adobe AIR: anybody there?

Hi,
I've recently posted quite a few posts reporting very serious bugs of both Flash Builder 4.6 and Adobe AIR especially on mobile platforms, and asking about possible fixes and workarounds.
I would have expected immediate replies by someone at Adobe showing some interest in such blocker bugs that render Flash Builder completely useless, and developing AIR apps for mobile impossible. But there was no reply at all.
I wonder, are Flash Builder and Adobe AIR being maintained, or have they been abandoned? Because in the latter case I'd rather know it and stop wasting my time using this platform for development.
thanks
m.

I feel your preoccupations, Matteo. I have them too.
A few days ago, Gartner issued a document, called - as usual for Gartner - "magic quadrant", related to Mobile App Develpment 2012.
This document explains the situation of the different vendors so one can make an educated choice about the IDE to use for platform-independent mobile things.
Adobe is well-positioned in this quadrant. However, Gartner (who have talks with vendors before issueing their reports) only referred to PhoneGap when explaining how Adobe addresses mobile app development.
This is a shame, because FB is powerful and uses ActionScript (which many of us like).
I have bought FB last year and had fun with it. I don't think it's going to last for long, if I Adobe doesn't show that HTML5 + CSS aren't the only way to go.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs.

How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

What are you naming the folder?
Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
Do not get this:
You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
I have tried re-setting user profiles.
I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

I have tried and able to package an apk using your XML file.Could you please make sure your XML file starting from line 1 and coloumn 0.Any space will results in the error (Application Descriptor file cannot be parsed)
