Flex SDK and AIR Runtime issue

Hello,
Please somebody answer my Question.i.e,
For Instance, I downloaded an Application(AIR application) which is developed with Flex SDK 3.0 and AIR Runtime version 2.5. But I have AIR Runtime version 2.0 installed in my machine. What will happen if i install the application? whether it will be installed completely or Any warning will be shown up regarding the AIR Runtime discrepancies? or will the application be obsolete even after it's successful installation?
Did anyone experience it?
Regards,
venks.

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 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!

How to setup older Flex SDK and AIR 1.5?

I found an older Flex app that I wanted to install. It looks like it uses Flex 3 SDK and Adobe AIR.
How do you setup a different SDK and use a different version of AIR? I would think the latest version of AIR would be backward compatible but it doesn't appear to be that way. It seems that the SDK version and the AIR version must match exactly or the app won't compile. Is this right?
Thanks,

Flex SDK 3.2 : Unmarshalling issue : SOAP objects are not deserialized completely

Hi everybody !
I have a strange problem with SOAP deserialization in flex 3.2, and I thought this forum will be the best place to get answers ...
When I try to fetch some objects (like the ones shown below), the XMLDecoder does not deserialize all the properties.
In this case, it stops at the property named "rating". After it, all other data are lost.
I've used the flex builder debugger to locate the problem, and this lead me to the following method in the XMLDecoder class :
getApplicableValues(parent:*, valueElements:XMLList, name:QName,context:DecodingContext, maxOccurs:uint):XMLList:
State of the variables, before the "bug" :
The strange behavior appears after the five first properties had been deserialized correctly.
At this step : startIndex = 5, and the next property to unmarshall is "user" (according to the MExpertNotes object mapping)
the valueElement's list contains the following elements :
to simplify the notation, I will write only the position in the list and the xml tag name (see the complete soap response for more details at the end of this post)
(position, fieldName)
(0, ID) -> inherited from MotocycletteObjectImpl
(1,comment)
(2, noteValidation) (a Bean, never returned by our service -> set to null)
(3,noteValidationID)
(4,rating)
(5,timeOfCreation) -> inherited from MotocycletteObjectImpl
(6,user) (a Bean, never returned by our service -> set to null)
(7,userExpert) (a Bean, never returned by our service -> set to null)
(8,userExpertID)
(9,userID)
(10,version) -> inherited from MotocycletteObjectImpl
when it enters the for loop, at the first iteration the valueElements[i].name is equals to "timeOfCreation" and the name parameter is equal to "user".
so this test : if (name == null || valueElements[i].name() == name
|| ((name.uri == "" || name.uri == null)
&& name.localName == valueElements[i].name().localName))
returns false. The skipAhead variable is set to false (and i don't understand why). It stops iterating over the valueElementList, and so, skips all other properties.
Is this a bug ? Does a workaround exists ?
This affects many of our objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flex SDK or air sdk

hi iam new to flex
iam using Adobe flash builder 4.6 when i open the application.xml file i see this
xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.9"
is the the final sdk version or not if not what should i dowanlod the air sdk or flex sdk and what version plz
thanx

You can overlay newer versions of the AIR SDK over most Flex SDKs. Adobe's latest version of Flex is 4.6 which shipped back in 2011, IIRC. Apache Flex just shipped 4.13.0 and folks have definitely used it with the most recent AIR SDKs.

Do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently?

This question is asked as a follow up from a recent discussion, http://forums.adobe.com/message/6260447#6260447, regarding how getObjectsUnderPoint() works. The discussion was marked as correct as the answer provided by kglad was correct for the question asked.
But, the problem that led to that thread was not solved, as from the tests done, the issue was not from the method but from the runtimes. With the sample code given by kglad, the compiled swf file was working as intended by kglad. But the same code was not if compiled and packaged to AIR runtime.
Thus the question, do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently? Or again, that I simply missed out something?
*Edit: Anyone with similiar experience?

I'm also using Safari 6.0.1 and I don't have this problem, so I doubt Safari's causing the problem.
Have you tried uninstalling flash completely and then reinstall? If you haven't, here's Adobe's instructions on how to do so: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Once you've uninstalled it, try redownloading and reinstalling again: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Sounds like airglobal.swc is missing in your library path. I have some tips here http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2010/03/using_the_air_2_sdk_in_flash_builder_4.html, but you might want to double check your SDK overlay: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR_2:Release_Notes#AIR_2_SDK.

Flex SDK and online emulation coding, your opinion on my project

Hi to everybody,
I'm an actionscript developer and I've started a project 2 years ago.
Since I wanted to test dynamic bitmap generation, I started this path by coding a graphic driver that emulates some old graphic chip used in consoles.
I could see it can work very well in AS3, so thanks to Flex SDK and FDT I have coded some more complex emulators.
Llittle by little I've built some classes that emulate some more chips such as SN76489, AY-3-8910, Konami SCC, Namco, TMS9918/TMS9928 and other graphic drivers for arcade emulation.
There are few project around the web on this subject, some of them such as fMAME are done thanks to Alchemy but, mine is pure AS3 with a lot of otimization, simple code, byte code friendly structures and a lot of caching methods.
The audio has to be fixed, I still haven't find a good caching way to play the audio generated by emulated sound chips with the streaming feature of flash player. To increase quality and fidelity, I need to rise the buffer, but the delay between a graphic event and its corresponding sound rises too...
Unfortunately on some old PC and some netbook they are a little slow because they use a lot of CPU and memory. I will be very glad if you can tell me your opinin about this work and eventually your PC configuration you are playing with.
These are the four consoles/computer I've emulated:
SEGA SC-3000/SG-1000: http://www.play-sc-3000.com
SEGA Master System: http://www.digimorf.com/ASms
MSX 1: http://www.digimorf.com/ASReplay_MSX
CBS ColecoVision: http://www.digimorf.com/fcv
And these are some MAME concept based arcade games. To play with these ones you need to use te same control keys of MAME:
- Click on monitor to focus flash player
- 5 or 6: Insert Coin
- 1 or 2: no. of player to start
- Arrow keys: move
- X, C: fire buttons 1, 2
http://www.digimorf.com/FlaME/pacman.htm
http://www.digimorf.com/FlaME/pacman3D.htm - This uses Away3d for the 3d interactive cabinet, you can rotate and play snce the emulator itself is mapped on the screen object.

Hope you enjoy them!

You can set the maximum number of connections by using:
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket( port, backlog );
Where backlog is the number of connections at any one time. I'm not sure - but I'm guessing that the physical limit is dictated by your hardware. Once you queue is full of connections, you are right - any further connections are refused. The default number of connections is 50.

Flex SDK and FlashPlayer9

1.is the compiler include in Flex SDK required JVM installed
to execute?
2.is the SDK/compiler FREE to use for any purpose?
3.is the SDK/compiler FREE to distribute?
4.is the FlashPlayer9(ActiveX, plugin for Netscape) are FREE
to distribute?
thankyou very much

Certificate migration and AIR runtime versions

Hi,
I recently migrated my AIR app from a self-signed certificate to TrustCenter real certificate. I used migrate AIR application in Aptana AIR SDK in order to make updates smooth. When I tested it using runtime 1.5 I was able to use built-in autoupdate just fine, application with TC certificate installed as an update. After migrating to AIR 2, when I try to install a new version on top of the old one I get a message 'There is already an application with the same name'. I'd like to keep the migration for as long as I can, to make sure everyone can smoothly update.
Thanks for your help,
Karol Kowalski

Hi,
This discussion thread might help you:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2899850#2899850
In AIR 1.5, Publisher id was generated automatically from the certificate. However, from AIR 1.5.3 onwards, publisher id has been removed. So, to update apps having namespace 1.5 to apps having namespace >=1.5.3, you need to add a separate tag <publisherID> in your application.xml containing the publisherid for the older app.
Otherwise, it would be treated as a different application. More info can be found on:

OpenWithDefaultApplication in flex sdk 3.5.0.12683 and ReferenceError: Error #1069:

I am trying to use openWithDefaultApplication to open the files in default application for the desktop application developed using AIR.
Development environment is as follows
- Flex builder 3.0 eclipse plugin .
- Flex SDK version is 3.5.0.12683.
- AIR 2.0 sdk, I have used instruction specified at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/air/2/releasenotes_developers.html#h, to overlay AIR2.0 sdk with Flex 3.5.0.12683. SDK.
I get the following error when openWithDefaultApplication is executed
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property openWithDefaultApplication not found on flash.filesystem.File and there is no default value.
 at air_openwithdefaultapp/onFileSelect()[D:\www\flexprojects\air_openwithdefaultapp\src\air_ openwithdefaultapp.mxml:28]
I tried to trace/alert the flex and air runtime verions and I get following details, 3.5.0.12683 for Flex SDK and 2.5.0.16600 for AIR.
The same code works fine when I use the Flash Builder4 with Flex 3.5 sdk.
Any idea what is going wrong here?

Hi Swapnil,
1)Try Overlaying SDK to 2.0 like:
 a)Download the AIR SDK 2.0 zip
 b)and paste it at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0 and
 c)extract it.Check whether this SDK selected in Flex Compiler.
2) Make sure that you have changed the AIR version number in descripter file (-app.xml) for example <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> here have to change 1.5 to 2.0.
3) In the Flex Compiler panel check that which Flex SDK (3.5) has been selected. Might it different from defaultly selected.
In Flex Builder you can check in two ways :
 a)Window>Preferences>Flex>Installed SDKs(Default)>Check SDK selected.
 b)Select Project folder in Navigator Panel and Mouse Right click >properties>Flex Compiler>Check SDK selected.
4)Make sure that the opening files have accessibility with this function.

Flash Builder, Flex SDK 4.1 and OSMF versions

Hi,
I use Flash Builder (4.5) and have to use the 4.1 Flex SDK to make AIR apps for TV sets. The OSMF lib provided in the 4.1 SDK doesnt meet my needs, but the 4.5 version does. However, when I add another OSMF.swc version to my libraries, I get a Conflict error and cannot compile the app. If to prevent conflicts I remove the native OSMF.swf (Properties -> Flex Buid Path -> Remove) then Flash Builder signals an error (red cross aside the project in the project explorer), but won't say where it is. Of course it will not compile either.
Any idea ?

If I had to summarize my problem in ten words :
With Flex 4.5 SDK and AIR 2.6 SDK I can stream dynamic http in the VideoPlayer element, but it won't play on a Samsung TV.
With Flex 4.1 SDK and AIR 2.6 SDK I can launch the app on a Samsung TV, but the VideoPlayer element won't play any dynamic http stream.
I assume this problem comes from OSMF because it is the library supposedly handling the dynamic streaming. I just can't make it work within Flex 4.1 :
If I delete the native osmf.swc and remove it from the Flex Build Path properties, Flash Builder won't compile, claiming there is an error, even if I add other more recent osmf.swc.
If I don't delete it and still add another one, either I get a conflict error or a "not found" error. either way it won't compile.

Xcelsius 2008 and Flex SDK

Hello all,
I'm new to Xcelsius and Flex SDK and I don't get any information about that:
For what do I exactly need Flex SDK? Only if I want to implement a new template for Xcelsius like a "better" property-panel?
I also want to know, when I want to store data out of my dashboard, can I use and handle them directly in a Web Dynpro environment?
Does anyone have experience with that or could help?
Thanks in advance
best wishes, Bonita

Hi Bonita,
Xcelsius provides standard set of visual components, but in some situation we might need some functionality that is note there in standard set of components. That is where flex comes into picture with the help of Flex SDK we can develop custom components and then use the Xcelsius SDK to compile and use that as an add on inside Xcelsius. Custom build components are also available in marketplace (we can opt from a large set of variants, developed in Flex & Xcelsius SDK). Flex coding is mostly done in MXML and events are Handeled with Action Script.
Note : We need Flex SDK along with Xcelsius SDK only when we need to create some custom component. Xcelsius SDK can be downloaded from SAP Website or can be installed during Setup installation.
Data can be exported out of Xcelsius with the help of External Interface connection. Sample is available in the extracted installation file. Data exchange is Handeled with scripting language. Don't know Web Dynpro environment supports the scripting or not.
Good Luck

Flex SDK with createRectangleTexture() ?

Sorry if this is entirely the wrong forum for this question, but I'm stumped...
I see there's a Context3D function called createRectangleTexture(), which I'd like to try using. I'm creating a Flash app using AS3 and C++, via FlasCC. Currently am using the Flex 4.6 SDK; alas, this does not seem to include a sufficiently recent version of Context3D, and so of course compilation fails when I try to use this function. The documentation suggests this is in AIR 3.6; however, the docs for Flex tell me to not overlay a newer version of AIR onto the Flex SDK (and at this point, I cannot even tell if AIR 3.6 actually provides createRectangleTexture()).
Any help/pointers/suggestions in regard to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you are not using Flash Builder go here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
At the bottom it says:
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows.
Download the proper one for your OS and then extract it over your existing Flex SDK directory.
EDIT: Just read your post again and noticed you mentioned Flash Builder. In that case you want to follow these directions: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html and grab the version with the compiler at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
