  • Flex SDK and AIR runtime version in mobile

    Hi, guys.
    I'm trying to make my first Flex mobile app.
    I'm a little confused about the relationship between Flex SDK and AIR  runtime versions for mobile development.
    In the "Developing Mobile Applications with ADOBE FLEX 4.6 and ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.6" pdf document, it says:
    "AIR requirements
    Flex mobile projects and ActionScript mobile projects require AIR 2.6 or a higher version. You can run mobile projects on physical devices that support AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR.
    You can install AIR 2.6 or a higher version only on supported Android devices that run Android 2.2 or a higher version. For the complete list of supported Android devices, see Certified Devices. Also, review the minimum system requirements to run Adobe AIR on Android devices at Mobile System Requirements.
    Note: If you do not have a device that supports AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR, you can use Flash Builder to launch and debug mobile applications on the desktop."
    So, I go and check the Certified devices in http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html and find that the minimun FLASH PLAYER version accepted by ALL devices is FP 10.1
    1. Does this mean that if I want to release an app to target ALL mobile devices, then I can only use Flex 4.5?
    2. Do support for Flash Player mean the same than support for Adobe AIR? Or the application will prompt the user to install whatever version of the AIR runtime and all of them would be supported by the device, even in the FLASH PLAYER support is for a lesser version?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help, Flex harUI,
    The first impression that comes to mind is that FP version is indeed only for the web browser plugin. Then, why does the official Flex 4.6 mobile development documentation have a link to that page that only speaks about the supported FP version in mobiles under the title "AIR requirements"??
    This makes it way too confusing.
    Do you know whether there is something like an equivalent matrix/list of mobile devices with their supported AIR runtime versions?  I went a great deal in trying to keep my original app under 400kb... I didn't know that in the end it would end up weighing 9.5Mb... :S
    Thanks again,

  • Flex Air Apps on Blackberry

    I've had a Flex Air app on Playbook since it Adobe first supported Blackberry.  But, I haven't had a client requirement for deploying to Blackberry in a long time.  What is the status on Adobe's support for Blackberry?  On the Air Dev Center, I see no references to Blackberry anymore???
    Can I still build a cross-platform app for latest Blackberry devices (Blackberry 10, Playbook, etc.) using the standard Flex mobile components and Flash Builder 4.6?
    After a brief search on Blackberry's Air page, it looks like they moved to requiring the QNX components, ANEs and a new pure AS3 SDK only.  If I have to re-write code specific for Blackberry now, then it makes no sense for me to offer that to my clients. (unless they only want BB).
    So, where does Adobe stand now with Flex Mobile in Flash Builder deploying to Blackberry 10 and the Playbook?
    I'd appreciate if you could help bring me back up to speed.
    Thanks,
    Don

    Absolutely, Flex works very well indeed and is fully supported on BlackBerry PlayBook and BB10 devices. The free packaging module for Flash Builder is part of the BB SDK for AIR and is supplied by RIM, not by Adobe.
    With Flex you'll of course be using Adobe UI components, which look less native than the BB-supplied "pure AS3" UI components unless you skin them. But they work just fine.

  • Flash, Flex, AIR Which is best for producing small interactive apps?

    Hi
    I posted to the flash forum but really looking for feedback from flash, flex, AIR users as well
    I'm looking for the forums thoughts and advice on which of Adobe's current technology set (CS5) is best suited for creating small interactive applications/packages by users who would not have any background in coding and very little interest in learning coding.
    The idea is that users would know basic drag & drop development and maybe extend it to include some basic scripting to wire up elements of it. The ability to develope applications for a range of access points (website, mobile, desktop) would also an added benefit
    The over arching idea would be to let the users create some apps/programmes/packages quickly on any topic they like but not bog them down with coding
    Which CS5 technologies would be best for that

    I don't see how it would be any different for mobile than for desktop, considering the biggest difference is frame-size.
    Flash Builder is very good at building fluid layouts.  VERY good.  By extension, Catalyst, built on the same framework, should be too (haven't seen the final version, but the betas were looking good in this regard).
    The entire platform has been getting optimized for mobile creation lately, and CS5 should have a lot of tooling towards that end.
    I would suggest downloading the trial version of the softwares when they are released (supposed to be mid-may) and playing around with it before you decide.
    If you want to, you can hit up labs.adobe.com to download the beta of Catalyst right now, which might give you the answers you need. (Flash Builder was already released, and is available on adobe's site for trial download currently)

  • Example working Flex AIR app for Android?

    I'm having trouble getting even the most basic AIR app working on Android. Here is the code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:local="*"
                            width="600" height="600">
         <fx:Declarations>
             <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
         </fx:Declarations>
         <mx:Label text="Hello World"/>
    </s:WindowedApplication>
    It works fine running on  Windows in Flash Builder, obviously it's pretty simple. Here are the  commands I use to put it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2.
    C:\Users\Ryan\Adobe  Flash Builder 4\Test2\bin-release>adt -package -storetype pkcs12  -keystore C:\Users\Ryan\STG-Android.pfx Test2.air Test2-app.xml  Test2.swf

    password:
    test
    C:\Users\Ryan\Adobe Flash Builder 4\Test2\bin-release>adb install -r Test2.apk
    2286 KB/s (419172 bytes in 0.179s)
             pkg: /data/local/tmp/Test2.apk
    Success
    A Test2 app icon shows up on my Galaxy Tab  under Applications but when I run the app I just see a plain white  screen, I don't see the words "Hello World". Any ideas? Does anyone have  an example Flex AIR app that works on Android and can post the code so I  can try it on my Galaxy Tab? I know AIR is installed correctly on my  Galaxy because I installed an AIR app called South Park Avatar Creator  that I got from the market and it works fine.
    Thanks,
    Ryan
    P.S.  Here is the Test2-app.xml from my non-working project above in case it  helps. This is the default generated with a new Flex app in Flash  Builder 4 using the Flex 4.1.0 AIR 2.5 SDK but I uncommented the andoid  tags and set the visible tag to true.

  • Interactive medical report with Flex/AIR, XML, U3D and PDF

    Hello,
    I am computer science student and during my master thesis I want to program an interactive medical report which should include some 3D models (U3D) and which should provide the following options:
    Interactive manipulation of the 3D models
    Typing in a structured medical report
    Loading of a XML file with additional information
    Loading of medical image data (jpg images)
    At best, only one pdf file as resulting report
    And: A nice user interface (I like the interface elements of Flex...)
    I think, the best way is a pdf file which includes all the needed data. The problem is that I don't know exactly what software combination fulfills my requirements... I read some things about Adobe Flex and AIR and the U3D format and I suppose, the great interface builder "Flash Builder 4" might be useful to generate a nice user interface. BUT: I was not able to find out, how to include U3D in Flex/AIR.
    Then I found the nice pdf library iText (http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=chapters) which is able to produce a pdf file from a swf file and to include a U3D-model with an additional JavaScript file for manipulations.
    BUT again: If I have a swf flash file with the nice user interface (generated with the Flash Builder), how can I access the U3D model in the final pdf document? Imagine: I click on a "rotate" button in the swf and then the U3D-Model in the pdf should rotate...
    Ok, as you can see, it is a complex szenario.
    My questions summarized:
    What, in your opinion, is the best technology for my task? Flex? AIR?
    How can I import the U3D-models? Should I use PaperVision, Sandy3D or something else?
    Is there a way to save user inputs directly in the pdf file, or as new pdf file or as xml file?
    What is the best way to produce the user interface? Flashbuilder, or maybe a html container with "normal" html interface elements and then the events communication between JavaScript and ActionScript?
    How can I export all the stuff to one pdf document? Should I use iText?
    Best regards,
    Steven

    Thanks for making my point - perfect is the enemy of good.  We tolerate less capable, less perfect system that are in place now, because of the false expectation that it should be perfect.  Incremental improvements are rejected, because they are not perfect.  Even an imperfect algorithm can find 'Broken' as a common thread in your example, and highlight them for the clinician to evaluate their impact on the current treatment.  This no less likely to miss the connection than a clinician trying to scan through handwritten notes, in the 5 - 10 minutes he/she has to interact with the patient and determine what to do. 
    Because of legal concerns, incremental but imperfect improvements don't get implemented, so nothing ever moves forward.  Imagine if after the Wright Brothers first flight, no improvements were considered acceptable unless they completely eliminated the risk of failure - there wouldn't be any airlines to go bankrupt today!
    For the most part, IT has focused on activities where 'perfect' is achievable.  Accounting in its various forms have been the primary focus of most IT systems.  In that area, the vocabulary is very limited, well defined, and consistent.  A debit is always a debit, and a credit is always a credit.  Medicine is completely different. It is much larger in scope, poorly defined, the vocabularies are mostly non-existent, and where they exist are incomplete and inconsistent.  Despite the huge leaps forward in the last century, there is still more unknown than known about how and why the body works.  This environment makes most individuals trained in IT uncomfortable.  Until we learn how to deal with 'fuzzy', Healthcare IT is going to be limited to the billing and collection functions that it mostly accomplishes today.

  • Air application (not for mobile) ?

    Hi
    How do we proceed to create a Air application (not for mobile) that works with Zend Server? "Flex and Php project" creates a web based application, isn't it?
    Thanks

    I have the same question.
    Is possible to debug the PHP side of an AIR application?
    Because for Web and Mobile applications there is an extra option for debugging ("Web (PHP) Application" and "Mobile (PHP) Application") but there isn't any option like that in Desktop Application.
    If is not possible with Flash Builder, does somebody know a workaround for debugging PHP in AIR apps?

  • PDF Not loading anymore on Flex Air Application

    Hi,
    Ever since I updated my Adobe Readed to Version 11, I can't view any PDF on my Flex Air Application anymore. Is there anything i need to do?
    AIR version: 3.6
    OS: Mac OS X
    Flex Builder: 4.6
    Adobe Reader: 11.0.02
    Flex components used: mx:HTML
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Yes.  This is a well known bug in Air/Google Maps.  A lot of folks reported it on the Google Maps forums and here.  It was reported over a year ago with no action yet.  Major show stopper.
    For this main reason, I switched to the http://developer.mapquest.com AS3 API.  Plus they also recently released a Mobile Flash API that works great.
    I suggest you check it out because I don't anticipate any action on this issue on either side any time soon.
    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to converted Presenter 7 to a FLEX / AIR desktop app?

    I have an Adobe Presenter 7 course with multiple modules.  These are PowerPoint files converted to flash with Presenter 7.  I want to make them available as desktop applications by using Flex / Air.  Can this be done?
    I am a novice in these applications, but a quick learner.  Please let me know if it is possible and kindly point me in the right direction.  Thanks for your help.
    Bob

    Wow, thanks so much Bob - that is some absolutely fantastic information. 
    I converted one of my Presenter courses to a fully functional EXE file in about 5 minutes with the SWF Maestro Exe trial!  I have been trying for years to find a solution to turn my Presenter files into single, flat file and that seems to do exactly what I need.
    Your sample training course is really nice - you did a great job with it!  I know how much work it can be to get the PPT file, transitions and audio to work just right like you have.  I have 15 eLearning files that have hundreds of hours of work on each one!

  • SWF generate from Flex AIR

    Hi.
    My Application scenario it's apparently easy.
    1) I have written AIR application where I have inside MovieClip/Component or something simlar.
    2) Through my AIR application i draw on my MovieClip/Component some circles and add image.
    3) I get this MovieClip/Component and generate te external .swf file. Now You can grab that .swf file and put anywhere You want.
    And Point 3 it's really problematic. How I can generate .SWF file from Flex AIR? Or maybe other ideas how I can realize that scenario??
    Cheers.

    Send information to the server so it can compile the SWF

  • Is there any MS Sql Server connector available for Flex Air.?

    hi,
       I want to connect my flex Air application with MS Sql server.* directly without any server side scripting. I got MySql Connector , which is available in  (http://code.google.com/p/assql/downloads/list). Like this is there any connector is available .Please share it
    thanks
    karthy

    I do have exactly the same questions. SO far the fas_mssql_connector.asp file is placed at the 'wwwroot' folder of the 'inetpub' folder of the IIS server. As hostname I use '[MyServer]' since it should run on the same machine and username and password are correct.
    The fas_MSsql_Clean file is setup in a way that the name of the database is specified and the url to the asp file is set as: http://[MyServer]/fas_mssql_connector.asp
    My SQL query looks like this:
    private function getDbData():void
        mssqlQuery("Select * from Tomat", "getDataO3");

  • Tell me again ... Why Flex / AiR ?

    Considering the ongoing half-baked mess of Flex components, SQLite with full-text-search that Adobe choked off from the open source version and equally compromised WebKit ... Tell me again ... Why Flex / AiR ... now that HTML5 is shaping up nicely and with enough jQuery UI components ... WHY BOTHER WITH ADOBE and especially if someone is just starting major projects ?

    The reason really hasn't changed.  HTML 5 has a different utilization in the different browser platforms (it's up to the browser to decide how to render.)
    Flex/AIR uses the Flash runtime to guarantee consitent presentation across multiple platforms.  With the new version of the IDE and Framework available in beta, it also will publish to mobile platforms creating apps that will be consistent user experiences across multiple app OS's.
    So you get one development environment to publish your software to a great number of audiences with confidence that their experience is exactly what you designed/developed.
    I'm sorry but I don't understand the reference to half baked Flex components.  The new architecture is extending very well and also supports the old framework.  Instead of truly understanding the power of the tool, it appears your sources are a bit weak.  I've done quite a bit of work with Flex and with .NET and they work very well together.
    There is an upcoming Flex 360 conference next month in Denver. I highly encourage you to go.I don't see Flash going away anytime soon and it has recently become even more relevent with the mobile ports.
    Don't get left behind!

  • Flex Air & SSH or FTP ... ??

    I am new to flex, and was wondering if it were possible to
    create a Flex Air application that can access a server using SSH or
    the FTP socket? What I want to do is have a program that downloads
    some necessary files from a server and save it to the local machine
    running the Flex Air Application.
    Is this possible? If so, can anyone point me in the right
    direction to some documentation or tutorials?
    Thanks.
    Rob

    Hello, I've create 2 library sshcmd.swc and scpcmd.swc with adobe air 2.0 to create applications that can send files and commands to remote hosts using ssh. Same that putty.
    Actually is compatible with windows air applications.
