Flash to Android = Flex Hero?

Flex Hero, is that Actionscript to native Android code???
Or is it just apps on adobe air on top of Android OS example user would need to have adobe air on their android phones to use your apps, or can they use your apps without installing air???

WOW, that'd be really nice...
I tried developing for android using eclipse and the android sdk etc..
1. it took forever to setup...them opensource type stuff isn't meant to be easy...wish they would make a setup.exe or something. It's like copy this here, change this file and then spend hours figuring out they missed a step in their instructions. And the instructions were from google themselves.
2. Then there was the idea of having to learn java...*sigh*
Eclipse and Android development setting up process and development is bunk compared to visual studio and windows 7 phone development. Visual studio development for windows 7 phone is like WOW. Easy setup, and really nice work flow. The emulator is much faster as well, anyhow too bad no one uses windows 7 phones though.
If that's the direction that ADOBE is going with Flex, that's great...flex builder enviroment and work flow using action script creating native android apps would be like WOW!

FlashBuilder: Android/Flex Components+Full Screen Graphic possible?

I'm new to flash and interested in multi-platform graphical game development.
I've installed the Flash Builder Burrito test version and want to develop
a full screen Android graphical game with Android-Flex components
(like buttons etc.).
a)
Is it possible to have a full graphical screen and then overlay
Android-Flex components (buttons etc.) or ist only possible
to integrate a graphical screen within a Flex components app
so that Android/Flex components have to been outside the screen
and so no full graphical screen overlayed with Android/Flex
components is possible?
b)
If full graphical screen + Android/Flex components is possible:
which project type have I to choose:
File->New->Flex Project or File->New->ActionScript Mobile Project?
c)
Are the components I can choose to design my Flash-Android project
Android-like Flex components or are they real Android components?

a) yes you can
b) Flex Mobile Project
c) Those are Flex components
If you are creating a game for an Android device I would rather do it with Actionscript. The Flex "Hero" Framework for Mobile is great, but in my opinion laid out for applications not for games. Still you can use parts of it, but if you only lists, buttons and that kind of component then I would rather write them up in AS3.

Xoom Development With Flex Hero / FB Burrito

Hello:
I have been developing an app for Xoom using the Java SDK. We would like to use Flash so the app is more protable. I just got the Burrito beta with Flex Hero and since Xoom doesn't support flash yet there isn't much I can do except back end coding.
Will there be an emulator for Xoom?
Does developing using Flash create an APK that you can publish to the market? Obviously they'd need to update their device to support flash ...
I am at a cross road, continue with Java or switch to Flash. I need some advice!
Thanks.

Hi,
There's a difference between an app running on Android with the AIR runtime,
vs a Flash web app running in the browser. Currently Xoom supports the AIR
runtime, so you can create apps with AIR for Android and deploy them to the
device now, without needing the Flash Player in the browser. By March 18,
the Flash Player for the browser will be available to the Xoom. Flash Player
in the browser is separate from the AIR runtime.
When creating apps with Flash or Flex using the AIR for Android deployment
option (currently in FB Burrito or Flash CS5 latest update) you can create a
.apk file that can be installed onto any Android device that supports AIR:

Flash Builder Burrito with Hero RUN disappears

In trying to complete the Flex-In-A-Week tutorial series, I found it necessary to install Flash Builder Burrito with Hero for the "professional" features of the network monitor. The install went fine and on first opening the interface looks fine including the |> RUN button being visible.
When I define a new workspace using Switch workspace to where the FIAW files are and open the lesson I am working on the |> RUN button disappears and there is no way to run the code. I can't find any way to get the run button back. I may have to abandon the trail and return to the Flash Builder standard that came with CS5 Web and give up on the network monitor. someone please help.

does anyone know of a replacement for the network monitor? so i can run the standard version.
http://www.riaspace.com Piotr Walczyszyns' Toaster Lite says it does but I can't figure out how to integrate it into the Flash Builder work flow to use as easilly as network monitor appears to work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Implementing QR Code Reader to Flash AIR Android App?

Hi everyone!
I am developing an Android application using AIR on Adobe Flash CS5.
I am still a beginner to actionscript 3.0 as I am more used to actionscript 2.0
I am currently looking for a way to implement a QR code reader to my app which works in conjunction with the hardware camera of the android device.
I am not entirely sure if AIR is capable of doing this, but I have found the following website by luck:
http://www.remotesynthesis.com/post.cfm/adding-a-qr-code-reader-in-flex-on-android
The writer seem to have accomplished a QR decoder application via Flex.
I am not too sure what Flex really is neither, all that I know is that Flex is a development kit for making mobile/desktop appilcation.
But there seems to be some sort of relation between AIR and Flex and there is even a selectable FlexComponentBase component in Flash CS5.
Now, is it possible to use the ZXing Library in my AIR project? If so how can I go about acheving this?
Thank you very much in advance!

Loosely compared with Java --
Adobe AIR or Flash in Browser is like JVM that can execute some code.
Actionscript X.X is like the Java language itself
Flex is a component framework like AWT or SWING which can give you readymade UI components that you can re-use.
Flash CS or Flex Builder can be compared to intelliJ or Eclipse [i.e. IDEs for developing applications]
Having said that, if you are still looking for android QR reader solution:
I have written ANE version for ZBar that works on Android and iOS over same ActionScript API. It works similar to CameraUI i.e. I open Native Activity/ViewController that scans and sends the data to AIR app as an async event.
I have developed this for one of my projects. If anyone is interested revert back on this thread.
ANE can be compared to JNI in Java world

Push Notifications in Flex Hero

Is Push Notifications feature available in Flex Hero?

Current coming corona, appcelerator ... To support such a manner that already. In fact, if this thing would not you support flash cs5 came in last year when I do not think we have differences. Just bumping UI components in flex, except that the
Team I would like a little hurry.

Is this a bug in Flash Player or Flex?

Compile and run this code (it is generated when you select New MXML Application) with FlashBuilder4.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
</s:Application>
If you are using IE, you will see a blue player control panel. But there should be nothing displayed because there is no
visual components in the code above.
If you are using FireFox, there is nothing displayed.
Same behaves for mx:Application.
I think it is a bug with Flash Player or Flex. How can Flex behave differently with different browsers?

This is what I see in IE 9.0.8112.16421, but not in FF.

Too small window size in standalone flash player in FLEX

Hello,
I have unchecked the option "generate html wrapper file" so I
don't have to bother about closing the browser tab each time I make
a small change to the code and rerun the application.
This works fine as the standalone flash player closes when I
terminate the application from Flex. However, the standalone flash
player always starts in a fixed window size smaller than my
application size so that I cannot see the whole application. So I
have to enlarge the window size of the standalone flash player each
time which is annoying!
Is there a better solution?
Maybe get Flex to close the browser tab after I terminate the
application. I still prefer to use the standalone flash player
during development as my application doesn't depend on the browser
though.

How to display html content in flex hero..

Please help....

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

Download Flex hero SDK ASDOCS

Hi,
Where can I download the asdocs? The SDk contains a small directory asdocs with a build.xml. I tried to build it, but get: 4.5.0\asdoc\build.xml:47: FLEX_HOME must be set to use the Flex Ant Tasks
(I have set FLEX_HOME)
The online help is no longer available: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.5/UsingFlashBuilder/AH_HOME.html
Thanks,
ropoboy

The actual answer is to go to the main Developer Documentation page (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Developer+Documentation), ignore the Flex Hero content and that there is no reference to Flex 4.5, click the 'General Flex 4 Documentation' link under 'Flex 4', this will take you to Flex 4.5 documentation, where you will find a link to the 'Full Documentation Set (zip)'.
However the ASDoc documentation that is included here is partially broken. The "Show packages and classes list" link at the top doesn't work in Google Chrome on Mac. It does work in Firefox and Safari on Mac.
It would be nice if Adobe could:
1. Update their main Developer Documentation page so that Flex 4.5 content can be found under a link to Flex 4.5 content rather then have it be buried under Flex 4. Similarily it would be nice if Flex 4 content could be found under the link to Flex 4 content.
2. Consider fixing the ASDoc that is included in the full documentation set for Flex 4.5 so it works in Chrome.

Import Flash components into Flex

Hy,
I'm trying to create an AIR application. Until now I've watched and read a lot of tutorials but none had the answer I was looking for. So I have a few animations made in Flash as MovieClip symbols. They should react depending on the user's intentions. How can I import those symbols and control them with "gotoAnd" commands (i know how to use the AS in Flex but not how to import animations)? I'm starting to think Flex can't do this because I only found about skins or images or things not even close to what I want. If you know a way I would really apreciate a nice tutorial or a code sample.
Many thanks !

I think that what you're looking for is the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3.
By installing this kit you are able to export any movie clip from flash as a flex component.
Then, you have full access to the objects inside the component by writing code in your Flex application.
you can find it here : http://www.adobe.com/go/flex3_cs3_swfkit

Flash Builder and Flex 4 Press Coverage

Could someone post some links to some of the BIG BANG press coverage of the Flash Builder and Flex 4 releases ?

What is an example of the code that is the source of the error?

Flex Hero - Links in HTML component does not works.

I can see google homepage in my test desktop application.
But all links are not work in html document.
Flex 4.0 and 4.1 SDK works well. Only Flex Hero has this problem.
How can I fix it?
Thanks.

Hi Kevin,
I had the same problem. This 4.5 build from 11/30/2010 fixed the HTML component issue.
