Indesign Events handling in my AIR CS Extension for Indesign

Hello,
I wanted to be able, from my indesign extension developped with CS Extension Builder in Actionscript/AIR, to catch the events defined in com.adobe.indesign.Event.* and handle them in this. same extension
How Am i supposed to do that ? I can't find a way.
And in the same idea, is it possible to catch an event of the type "when user double click on a frame in an opened indesin document" or anything like that ?
Here is what i tryed in my actionscript code for a simple AFTER_OPEN event i tried to catch :
this.app.eventListeners.add(com.adobe.indesign.Event.AFTER_OPEN, afterOpenHandler);
(where this.app = InDesign.app;)
and
private function afterOpenHandler(e:Event):void {
//handling event code here
But it was not a real surprise when it drops an error : the add() function doesnt take a simple function name as second parameters like you do in actionscript, but an "Object" or a "javascript function". How Im supposed to handle this event in my actionscript now ? is this only possible ?
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance for your time !
Lionel
PS: I also tried a dozen unsuccessful attempt like Casting my function as an Object Type in the eventListeners.add() arguments and so on....

Ok, Now i get it. I need to use the Host adapter "CSHA InDesign" to enable this kind of integration ! thanks to this link if anyone has the same questions:

    Dear Adobe Team,
    We have recently purchased Adobe Air native extension for admob for android & ios
    but every time we upload our app to an ipad or iphone, the app crashes.
    We have carefully followed your instructions, and we're sure we've not made a mistake writing the action script 3 code.
    We need your help in solving this problem urgently, as we are now running behind schedule in uploading our app.
    Thanks very much,

  • Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices

    I was using this tutorial:
    "Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices"
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html
    When packing the Flex mobile ANESampleTest to deploy on an Android device, the below error happens

  • Air Native Extension for OS X. Cant call functions from native code.

    Hi, I am trying to build native extension for OS X.
    After creating context, I try to call native function with "call" method, but always I have an error "The extension context does not have a method with the name ..."
    In as3 code my ExtensionContext is not null, so it's okay. And in native objective-c code I have a function, which I call in as3 code.
    What should I do?
    Here my code.

        adt -package -target ane MyANE.ane extension.xml -swc MyANE.swc -platform MacOS-x86 -C mac .
        mv MyANE.ane ~/Work/_Projects/test/libs-ane/

    I haven't done Objective C in a long time, but if I'm not mistaken, it requires the semicolon to terminate a line of code. The line containing "func[1].function = &someFunction" does not have that termination and since that is the function you are trying to execute, maybe that is the source of the error.

  • Post Process Event Handler not getting user's CURRENT_STATE for a UDF field

    I have a post process event handler in OIM R2 BP04 , which runs on Trusted Reconciliation and it compares user's ("CURRENT_USER") state and ("NEW_USER_STATE") and based on that derives a business logic.
    The problem that i am  facing is that, it is not able to get the User's ("CURRENT_USER") state for a UDF(EMAIL_LIST) field and it is coming as null,and  hence is breaking the business logic.The same Event Handler is working on TEST and QA ( 4 node cluster)environments and is not working on PROD environment( 4 node cluster).
    The different thing that was done on was that during the initial recon the event Handler was not present  and after the initial load of the users i have manually executed the database sql query which have updated the "EMAIL_LIST field manually for all the users
    I think  that since during the initial recon as the  EMAIL_LIST was not populated and was  populated  through the SQL update for all the users, the orchestration inter event data does not contain email list, and so it is coming as null.
    But i am seeing the same behavior for new records as well, which are created and  then updated after event handler is registered.
    Please reply, if you have encountered something similar.
    Thnx
    Akshat

    Yes i need the old state, which is
                        Identity[] oldUserStatesIdntArr =
                            (Identity[])(Identity[])interEventData.get("CURRENT_USER");

  • Exception in C++ air native extension for Mac OS X

    I develop air extension for ios and mac os x.
    I use the same code on ios and mac.
    For ios all good.
    But on mac - have problems.
    In extension I use std::vector. Code example:
    vector<Type*>* types; types = new vector<Type*>();  Type* type = new Type(); types->push_back(type);
    Application crashed by line:
    types->push_back(type);
    I tried add try/catch block - but application crashed too.
    I don't know what wrong. This code is work fine on ios and in console application for mac.

    Workaround found:
    Need to launch adl as a line command (depends on your directory config, of course):
    /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/bin/adl -runtime /Library/Frameworks/ -extdir /Users/vandrito/Desktop/simpleAirNativeExtension/launch/extensions -profile extendedDesktop /Users/vandrito/Documents/Projets/o3sui/simpleAirNativeExtensionTest/bin-debug/simpleAirN ativeExtensionTest-app.xml
    Pay attention to the library location: it is the one of the Air 3.1 install. Did not check the same trick with Flash Builder 4.6 Air install.
    Then use a fake web debugger to connect to the process (if compiled in debug mode). See here how to do (french):

  • External library inside Air native extension for android

    Hello everyone,
    First, I've been looking throught this topics
    - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7732742/air-3-native-extensions-for-android-can-i-how-t o-include-3rd-party-libraries
    - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24626380/how-to-include-additional-jar-in-android-nativ e-extension-for-adobe-air-mobile
    I got a similar problem. But not exactly the same. And the solution didn't worked for me :(.
    First of all, I don't have any visible error.
    -I can easily talk between java and action script.
    -The gateway is set without problems.
    My problem comes when, from my java-side-part of the extension, I try to call a 3rd party library. This library is (and I think this is where I do something  wrong) linked to my project as an external lib, in .jar format.
    So when I make a call to 3rd party library, it just doesn't print anything. Neither on the adobe part or on the java part. The logs that are before my call are printed but not the ones after.
    I tried different solutions that are:
    -Taking all compiled class files of my external lib and add it inside the main native extension jar [link1]
    same result (no errors)
    -including the 3rd party jar inside the ANE by adding a dependence file that require the .jar [link2]
    with this method i got this error that I don't get
    > aapt tool failed:ERROR: input directory '--auto-add-overlay' does not exist
    My third party library also include's itself some external .jars so do I need to include every jars inside the same packaged jar?
    I can see that a lot of people are dealing with issues like that so my question would be:
    What is the best way to include 3rd party library inside android AIR Native Extension ?.
    For information, here is what I do to create the ANE
    >adt -package -target ane AirInfinitGameANE\AirInfinitGame.ane AirInfinitGameASLib\src\extension.xml -swc AirInfinitGameANE\AirInfinitGameASLib.swc -platform Android-ARM -C AirInfinitGameLib .
    - AirInfinitGameASLib: just the folder with the actionScript part and the config xml file
    - AirInfinitGameANE: folder in the one that will be the native extension
    - AirInfinitGameLib: the eclipse java project. I need to put in that folder the airInfinitgamelib.jar(extension jar) and the library.swf (from the swc file) in order to beeing able to compile the ANE.
    Here it is ! Thanks a lot for thoses who'll read me.

    I had the same problem recently and fixed it as follows;
    - Extract the 3rd party jar file and copy the class folder (usually named "com" in the root of the jar) to my project.
    - Under Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries click "Add class folder" and add the "com" folder you just extracted from your .jar.
    Hope this helps

  • 64bit AIR Native Extension for iOS

    Hello,
    I created a native extension to support ARM64 for iOS. The problem is I get the following error when packaging an ad-hoc build:
    "Error: libgameCenter.a are required to have universal iOS libraries. Please contact the ANE developer(s) to get the same."
    As I understand I need both armv7 and arm64 libraries. So I build for both of them using "xcodebuild" and then merge with "lipo -create" command.
    However I think there is a step I'm missing. Please advice. Thank you.
    AIR SDK: 16.0 beta
    Xcode: 6.1.1

    Well the change you need to do is inside your Xcode project, under Build Settings -> Architectures , make sure that you have selected "Standard Architectures (armv7, arm64)". One last thing to ensure that Valid Architectures should also contain arm64 entry along with other armv7 entries.

  • Adobe AIR Native Extensions

    We are planning to choose a new platform of our new convergent media device. Like to know whether we can develop our platform using Adobe AIR Native Extension for Linux OS?
    I came to know that Adobe has subscription based suuport for developers. If that is the case we can purchase support for development assistance on Linux based AIR Native Extensions. What we need are the FRE libraries and C code to run the Native extensions on Linux. I had acces to AIR 3.0 for Linux sometime back. Unfortunately our project look some time to mature.
    Please let us know about this so that we can base our plans on AIR/Linux native extensions.

  • SBO2004: Event Handling problems

    Hello, all
    I have noticed a very peculiar thing about the way SBO handles events.
    I wrote a handler for the et_VALIDATE event on an EditText item (Sales Quotation->Customer) which does nothing but waits for two minutes. Then I performed the following experiment:
    Opened a sales quotation from in the Add mode, chose a Customer and added an item. Them I put the cursor into the Cusotmer field and pressed "Add". As a result, my event handler fired, so SBO was "frozen" for two minutes. But when the handler had completed nothing happened. The quotation wasn't added, although I didn't set BubbleEvent to false in the eventhandler.
    However, when I reduced the wait time to 30 seconds in the event handler everything started to work as it should: after completion of the eventhandler the quotation got added.
    Looks like if the handler of the preceding event (VALIDATE) executes for too long the following event (ITEM_PRESSED) may not fire at all...
    I this a correct behavior?
    Thanks in advance,
    Anton
    PS: I was testing in SBO2004

    Please update your system. Version 2004 is no longer supported.
    Hello, Vitor
    I know this, but I can't update soon. So I hope somebody can either confirm this problem or suggest a solution/workaround. But OK, I will check this in SBO2007.

  • HTMLB .. Input field event handling..

    Hi guys,
    I have a input field htmlb in my jsp. I have to handle on blur event for this.. i.e if a user gives in somethin in the input field and once it looses focus, a event should get triggered. And probably in my case it will be helpful for me if I have this event handler method in the dynpage. For this kind of event handling what should I write in the followin tag
    <htmlb:inputfield id="" value="" width=""> plz tell me a tag attribute which supports this event.
    Regards,
    PP.

    Hi Priyanka,
                      You can get reference of your input field in JSP into DynPage. Do like this:
    Declare input field in JSP
    <hbj:inputfield id="input"  value="test">
    In DynPage, get refernce of the input field
    Wherever you want to trigger event
    InputField myInputField =(InputField) getComponentByName("input");
    myInputField.setClientEvent();
    Hope this helps.
    regards,
    Siva
    Note: If you get success, please post the solution before you close this thread.
