IPad App in Flash

Hey guys,
I hope someone can help me out. I have to create an iPad App for a project at university and I'm not that familiar with AS3. I've heard that it's possible to program apps with CS 5.5. Is that true? Is it also possible with CS5?
And can anyone give me some tips for starting programming an app for the iPad? I've only done screen design so far, no programming. So I need some common transitions of the iPad, like slide and multitouch gestures. Maybe there is a library or such? Or an easier tool than AS3...
Thanks a lot your support

Thanks a lot!!
So I can use AS3 the usual way as I do for common aplication programming and just export it
as an ipa, is that right? Just things like creating movie clips, defining button states and such...
that will all work for ipa files as well?
If anyone knows some good templates would be great as well. I couldn't find some especially for
the iPad. I just need some easy transitions e.g. like sliding from one page to the next.
First I was also thinking about using Fireworks for my App but I think if Flash works it will be the
better choice.

IPad apps using Flash

Hi - Hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. My question is - Can iPad and iPhone apps be created solely with Flash alone (inclusive of tilting and touchscreen features) and submitted to the iTunes store? I have used Flash quite sparsely since Flash 8 so haven't really followed the debate around Flash and Apple devices.
I'm working on an App for iPad along the lines of a children's interactive book. I'm a trained Illustrator and don't think it would take me long to get up to speed again with Flash, however if Apps absloutely require coding in Apple's SDK then I have the problem of finding or paying someone to make an App from my work (otherwise, I can manage the whole project myself).
...and if it is possible to create Apps entirely within Flash - does anyone know of a good starting place for tutorials specifically for this?
Thanks a lot.

To just be complete, yes you can complete an app using Flash Pro or Flash Builder plus the proper credentials.
I prefer Flash Builder as it offers profiling tools that really help keep memory managed. I do not have CS6 but I know CS5.5 does not have a memory profiler. Although with a PITA amount of hacky work you can use instruments in XCode to profile. A great majority of your time developing apps will be finding ways to keep both memory, processor, network traffic and CPU to an absolute optimized minimum.
You mentioned iOS so the first thing you should do is go pay $99/yr and become an Apple Developer. Otherwise you cannot submit your app or even test on a device without a lot of complicated mayhem. It takes a little time to get set up as a developer so I'd get that process under way. If you're an individual it's easier but if you're a company it involves proving you're a company, faxing, etc.
After you wade through the iOS provisioning portal (reading all the how-to tabs) you get your app set up in the back end. Any app needs 3 files generated and obtained from files the portal gives you. You add devices, app ids and use those to generate a .mobileprovision file. Typically a person would start at the certificate portion but let me save you a headache. Every new app ID you make is saved in your certificate so you need to make the app ID first. Then you create your own development or distribution certificate for your developer account and download a .cer certificate file. You install that in your computer along with the Apple WWDC developer certificate that's linked on the same page. That lets you create yourself a .p12 file needed to sign an app and since you did this last it will already have the new app ID in it.
Now you have your .mobileprovision with your device listed in it and .p12 file with password and you're ready to go.
Just open Flash CS5.5 or CS6, whichever you have, start a new AIR for iOS project. Work in Flash as you normally would but just remember iPhones, iPods and iPads are really just "glorified phones". You can't just animate the way you used to, you have to get used to the idea that running your slick animation on your computer runs great but these devices are EXTREMELY memory and processor deficient. What runs buttery smooth on your computer will bog and run like a train wreck on what will end up feeling like a solar powered calculator.
Now you're off and running. As long as you're very careful with how much RAM, CPU and GPU you try to use you'll be fine. A book is a good app to start with. Limited animation and you could possibly even use the timeline to do it. Timeline animation ala traditional flash performs considerably worse as compared to code animation. If you haven't used flash since version 8 you've got a whole new language (AS3) and framework (AIR) to learn.
If you have any specific questions, fire away, but yes you can create the entire iOS app that works like a book using just Flash Pro and having an Apple Developer account.

IPad app from Flash

Hello, you need to know if is possible to develop applications for the iPad 4.2.1 IOS from Flash. I have found contradictory answers before buying a developer license wanted to make sure.
Thanks.

could the problem be with the ipad then? even now I'm getting the msg 'flash required' to view this item.
That should be totally impossible if you obtained the apps from Apple's app store.
Even in those cases where you really are trying to access a Flash video (on the web), that's not the message. I don't remember Flash being identified. I recall a vague message simply saying that the video can not be viewed.
If the iPad has been jail-broken, that's most likely the cause of your problem. If it has not been jail-broken, the only persons that can help you are the Apple support personnel.

Flash Builder 4.5 messing up my released iPad app

Using Burrito and coding exclusively in AS3 (no Flex), I built and released an iPad app in the App Store. When I recompile that code using Flash Builder 4.5, I encounter a number of problems:
- at first the size of my app appears about 50% its usual size, and is slightly off the screen in both the x and y directions. Once I rotate the iPad, everything restores to normal.
- text is sporadically resizing down. Elements that are created usiung the same method and have explicit font sizes, sometimes appear about 50% their normal size. This may be related to the previous problem because I feel like it only happens in the beginning, and as new text comes onto the screen it is consistently the correct size. But it is strange that some elements are small and others are big.
I would like to make updates to my released app, but I cannot because of these issues. I seem to be using AIR 2.6.
Anyone have any suggestions how to fix these problems?
Thanks,
Adrian

After testing with a fresh project and working backwards, I have isolated the problem--setting the renderMode in the descriptor file to gpu (or maybe to anything) causes weird sizing issues at launch, even with a simple embedded bitmap image. Once I commented out that line, the problem went away. Luckily, my app seems to be performing just fine without that line, presumably running in auto.

Privilege not valid between iTunes and iPad with a app from Flash

I'm creating a first app with Flash Professional.
I generated the .ipa file and it's transfered to iTunes without problem.
But when I want to install it in my iPad, there is a message :
"The privileges are not valid !".
And the app is not installed.
Can someone give me ideas about what I could do ?
Thank you !

Finally made an appointment at the Genuis Bar <free of charge>. The tech suspected that the firmware got trashed. The tech reloaded the frmware and the IOS. The "reimaging" wiped out the iPad and I had to rebuild my settings by hand. But everything works great.
The Genuis Bar folks are Genuises...

Ipad 3 supports FLASH/FLEX Apps, web or not

ipad 3 supports FLASH/FLEX Apps, web or not?

Apps, yes. Embedded in a web-page, no.
Specifically, a FLEX application bundled as an iOS app and sold through the App Store or distributed ad hoc using an enterprise license will work just fine.
Embedded FLASH (e.g., in a web-page) requires that the browser have a Flash plug-in. iOS doesn't support browser plug-ins, and Adobe dropped development and support for mobile versions of Flash (iOS and Android) a year ago (and laid off the staff related to it), so there will never be one. For what it's worth, Adobe has made it clear that it's also going to drop support for desktop browser plugins as well in the near future (in part because of the wider array of browsers requiring support, and also because Microsoft is dropping browser plugin support from their Windows 8 Metro browser and from their Windows RT browsers).
Going forward, Adobe presumes everyone will stick with HTML5+JavaScript in browsers and a FLEX will be used for standalone application development. They are already modifying their products to reflect this change.

Where to find adobe photoshop elemnts10 for photographers iPad app

Where to find iPad app Adobe Photoshop Elements10 for Photographers? It is on the net but not in the iTunes apps

I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
This is absolutely rediculous!
Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
What a shame!
Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites!

What video format to export for Ipad Apps

Hi,
I am new in export flash to ipad. I tried to export my video as FLV for my ipad apps, it plays but its lagging or jerky.
I had tried other formats like mp4, f4v, m4v or mov it just doesn't play
Wonder if anyone knows what video format to export for my ipad apps?
Bruce
http://www.vmw.com.sg

[email protected], on an iPad, here's what I did to get the FLV loading and taking up (most) of the screen. You can't use the FLV Component skins so you have to use the UI Components as markc888 suggested below your comment. My only gripe with this solution is that I can't get the fullScreen button to make the video go full screen.
This is starts from a playVideo button on my stage.
playVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideoClick);
function playVideoClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var flvPlayback:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
flvPlayback.x = 62;
flvPlayback.y = 62;
flvPlayback.width = 900;
flvPlayback.height = 506;
flvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = true;
flvPlayback.autoPlay = true;
flvPlayback.source = "yourMovie.flv";
flvPlayback.bufferTime = .1;
addChild(flvPlayback);
flvPlayback.playPauseButton = playPauseBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.stopButton = stopBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.seekBar = seekBar_mc;
var closeMovie:yourMovieClip = new yourMovieClip();
addChild(closeMovie);
closeMovie.x = 977;
closeMovie.y = 77;
closeMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMovieClick);
function closeMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
flvPlayback.stop();
removeChild(flvPlayback);
removeChild(closePres);
Hope it helps...

IPad Development Question - Flash CS5

My friends and I were thinking about creating a few games for the iPad. With Flash CS5, there is an option to publish to iOS. With the conflict between Apple and Adobe... If we create a game in Flash and publish it to iOS, would Apple allow it in their App Store?

Scorecards on Oracle BI iPad App

Hello everyone,
The scorecard trees cannot be viewed with the last version of Oracle BI iPad App. The analysis graphs, originally in Flash too, work fine though.
Do you have any idea how to address this issue?
I am thinking about retrieving the scorecard data using web services and drawing the trees by myself, but are there such web services? Or an API? Or maybe directly read the files where the scorecards are stored?
Regards

Hope you are using OBI Mobile Apps

Note: when Iam running them on the desktop<ios platform I got following errors as a pop up and clicked continue and it worked

Is this error is the reason for not displaying on the ipad,if so how to handle it

If I am understanding correctly, you are attempting to load a Flash (SWF) file in a Flex app that is deployed on the iPad. Unfortunately, only compiled code can be run on an iOS device at this time. This means that SWF files imported into an application cannot be loaded.

What happened to iPad 2 adobe flash this weekend?

I have been watching the
progress of an Audubon project on Repopulating puffins on an island in Maine via a live webcam. This weekend I can't receive the feed in my iPad, but can on my iMac. What gives?

Adobe, the developer of Flash Player, has chosen not to develop a Flash app for Apple's iOS devices.

Transfer Ipad apps on Iphone: do I need to buy again ?

Hi
I have bought a few apps on my Ipad. I want to transfer them on my Iphone 3 (they are mainly flash cards for my son). I have put them on Itunes, so far so good, but they won't transfer to my Iphone. They are Ipad apps, I now they certainly wouldn't fit on my Iphone, so my question is: do I need to buy them again if I want to put them on the Iphone ? It seems unfair to pay twice for the same thing...
thanks for your help

I assume that you've checked that they are iPad only, and its not just that you havn't updated the iPhone to have the appropriate iOS version for them.
If they are iPad specific apps then they won't go on the iPhone or iPod, and, yes, you probably will need to pay for them again if you want them on the iPhone.

Built app with Flash Builder 4.6 and compiled for iOS, now error when loading to appstore

I built a fairly simple app using Flash Builder 4.6 and have successfully deployed it to the Android Market (after testing on my own Android device). I have also taken that same app and compiled it for iOS and tested it on my own iPad.
I have then done the release build with the "Final Release for App Store Distribution" option in the release build wizard. I have all the correct provisioning certificates in place and compiled the application to a .ipa file.
At this point, using a MAC, I have run the Application Loader utility to upload my application to the itunesConnect portal to get it in the appstore. I've already gone through the steps of entering the metadata, price scheme, and screenshots in the itunes connect portal, and just need to upload it for review.
When I upload the .ipa file into the application loader, it gives me the following error:
"iPhone/iPod Touch: application executable contains unsupported architecture(s): arm"
Anyone have any idea what this means and how I can fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Solved it. Just added the following in the <InfoAdditions> tag for iPhone in my app descriptor XML file:
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>wifi</string>
<string>armv6</string>
<string>armv7</string>
</array>
