IPhone/iPad simple tutorial?

I may have to start doing some Flash development for iPad and am curious if anyone has a simple tutorial that involves nothing more than simply displaying something on screen. I'm just looking for details on the packaging / transfer to iPad portion.
Thanks

hi dave,
this is the forum for flash/iphone/ipad stuff: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/packagerforiphone/
i can help you if you're using an unofficial apple developer license. if you have a real one, you'll need to check a tutorial on how to use that to get your provisioning and certificate files.

Photoshop to MXML to Web to iPhone iPad

Finally Flash can dual render in both web(Flash) and iPhone or iPad(non Flash).
Works with Flex (I'm not releasing this until Adobe contacts me)
Backwards compatable with Flash (I'll launch this in the new year, any SWF file can convert to HTML)
Instant render, no compiling - change your FTML page and see the results
100% HTML and XML compliant - without HTML5
Visit: http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/ on both your desktop and non Flash player devices like iPhone or iPad for a live examle.
Full Post: http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/learn/flash-to-iphone-ipad/
The Concept
Why configure multiple layouts and build the same application on multiple systems - it wastes time and money. With FTML you can deploy the same application all across the board - all from Flash/Flex. When rendering to non Flash environments you can add your own custom CSS file to change the style and layout with out rebuilding the entire application.
Reshape Media strongly believes: If you want 'interactivity' on an iPhone web page = build an iPhone app - dont kid yourself. This is all raw HTML, no HTML5 - Flash all the way.
What Environment Can I Code FTML In?
Any! You can code FTML in:
HTML
PHP and ASP
Notepad
Dreamweaver / VisualStudio
Flex
Talk Is Cheap, How Can I Try It Now?
You can do this your self in under 5 minutes!
All the code is live and renders changes instantly
You only need to refresh your web page to see the changes
Lets get started...
Start by taking a Photoshop PSD file. This file will server as the layout to your project. Use our Photoshop to Flash jsx script to convert your PSD into a Flash Text website in seconds.
Photoshop to Flash jsx script: http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/learn/photoshop-to-flash-ftml/
Once the script is completed you will have a [ftml-www] folder with all the required files for your server. Place the files on yoru server or localhost and your website will be up and running right away.
Visit the site using your localhost: http://localhost/ or put the files on your website
The Flash Text website is instantly available on all browsers and devices. You can view your Flash website on a desktop browser with Flash Player, or a non Flash Player device such as an iPhone or iPad.
(this is my testing environment - I spoof my headers as mobile for my server)
Thats it... simple and easy with no headache required.
How Does It Render?
There are 3 main render modes for HTML. All you do is add the meta tags to your HTML page to change the render style.
<meta name='content-ftml' content='ftml' />
This is the default render for FTML on iPhones when no meta data is present. This will render the Flash Text page similar to a Flash layout. Its important to use x and y postions for this render.
<meta name='content-ftml' content='ftml/html' />
This will render the Flash Text page similar to a HTML layout. All elements are stacked and can use costom CSS stylesheets for layout. This is the best render method if you are used to working with HTML.
<meta name='content-ftml' content='ftml/flash' />
This will render the page with a full-screen layout. Use this method if you do not have scrollable content on your page.
Try it your self... Build a multi-device project with Flash from anywhere... in seconds!
Remember, FTML is free of change and requires no downloads to get started.
My Actual Question
What would the Flash/Flex community like to see / have when rendering to iPhone. I'm not Adobe so if you make a suggestion to me and I like it - its added yesterday. I can do anything when rendering so use your imagination!
Eg. 'Suggestions' From Myself
Parse the actionscript into 'somewhat' compatable javascript - maybe jQuery
Create a 'somewhat' compatable tweener for HTML
Add support for all media (audio and video) on iPhone
Find a way to access the native device functions (mostly through file types and external events)

Parse the actionscript into 'somewhat' compatable javascript - maybe jQuery

I think the only way we will see a truly consistent(ish) rendering of flash content is through a js lib that exposes the flash player api and interprets the byte code at runtime
That was my first path actually. I wanted to just take the byte data from Flash or event simple meta data. But the problem in that is that not all devices support Flash Player, so the IDE is not accessable under all circumstances.
I have class builders (I can send a manifest to it and it will spit out my Actionscriptcode, I've ran it on 100s of files at times)... this helped me to get a better understanding of syntax relationships between code. That being said... I can parse some PHP and Javascript into Actionscript, but I'm not working on the opposit to apply Actionscript logic within PHP and Javascript - to be honest I'm about 40% complete on that one.
FYI: I can render MXML live - at runtime and compile actionscript live - at runtime. Try it out.
Samples: http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/downloads/flash-samples/
- lots of samples to test
Tweening: http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/samples/tweening/
- note: when using the samples you can edit and recompile the code live.
Now bring both feet out of the box - I'll be working on this for the next little bit to perfect it for my needs, but I'd like to make it work for everyone.
Who doesn't need the ability to change thier existing SWF they made in CS4 to HTML... so it can be visible on iPhone?

Toggle how? What are you doing? Why do you have the MacMini connected to the TV? That is the whole point of AppleTV. It is a simple way ( in therory ) to get your content to your TV without having to plug your computer in to your TV.
it becomes an issue.

ITunes cannot recognize iPhone/iPad via WiFi Sync following motherboard change

Hi folks,
I'm having a problem with synchronising my iPhone (and iPad) to iTunes on Windows 7 Home Premium via WiFi sync.
This never used to be a problem - both devices would be identified by iTunes (occasionally this was sporadic, however a simple WiFi off/on would usually solve the problem).
I have recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU in my Windows 7 PC and after updating some drivers, etc. all of a sudden, I cannot connect to WiFi Sync anymore. I can still synchronise my devices via the cable - i.e. the devices are correctly identified by the PC, but for some reason post the motherboard change, as soon as I pull the plug out of the device, the device disappears from iTunes.
I can confirm that the "Synchronise this device via WiFi sync" tick boxes are checked, and the Machine Name is the same, so my iPhone is still looking for the same PC.
I'm wondering if because of the motherboard change, there is an internal signature that the iPhone/iPad looks for that is no longer the same.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to no avail. I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem - no matter what I do, iTunes will simply not recognise my devices over WiFi anymore.
Welcome any advice or thoughts.
System details:
- Intel i7 2700K (Upgraded from Intel i3 550)
- ASUS P8Z68-M Pro (Upgraded from an ASUS P7H55-M/USB3
- iPhone 4S
- iPad 2
- Windows 7 Home Premium
Cheers,
Mike.

Folks,
I thought I should post a follow up - in case any Apple Support people scour these forums.
The problem seems to have resolved by itself, which is both a good and bad thing.
I made absolutely no changes last night, not even a system reboot, to launch iTunes today and the system miraculously discover both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2. I think this highlights a broader problem is that the WiFi sync capability is inconsistent and very difficult to troubleshoot. I have no idea why it has all of a sudden started working, especially when I have changed no wireless, networking, firewall or Anti Virus settings.
Anyway thank you to those who had a read, and I wish I could provide more insight on why it has started working all of a sudden, and importantly, what caused it to stop working.
Perhaps it is simply like two people - the new PC and its motherboard needed to 'get to know' the devices before it felt comfortable in allowing a connection .
I have no other more rational explanation!
Cheers all,
Mike.

Hi.. My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Need major advice-Iphone,Ipad,Mac Book Pro syncing issues

I just purchased Mac Book Pro this weekend and I also have Iphone 4S and Ipad 1..all now with latest software update. I used a hard drive to save my music and photos from my old PC and imported them into Itunes on new Mac....when I sync Iphone it will not transfer any photos or apps that I originally had on my old computer or any new apps that I have downloaded since the purchase of the new computer. Itunes begins to sync, goes through some of the processes then cancels the sync. This is very disappointing being that I bought the Mac Book to have simple and seamless syncing between IPhone, Ipad 1 and Mac.
In addition, when I downloaded the new software to my Ipad 1, it did a hard reset and I lost every app on my Ipad. Someone please help me get these devices working in harmony!!!!!! I'm desperate and pulling my hair out......Thank you in advance!!!

Morning Frederic SALA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Anyone knows if it's possible to transmit raw data through jack plug of an iPhone/iPad?

I have a dummy hardware that have a jack socket and a simple protocol. I want to send/receive serial data from this hardware on my iPhone/iPad, but I don't know if this is possible, because is a very low level protocol. I also have bluetooth, but is not supported by apple, so I decided to investigate this option, with the jack plug. I called Apple support but they couln'd help me and they told me to ask here. Thanks!

There are devices, like credit card readers, heart rate monitors and such that can do this. I am no expert by any means, but those devices supposedly work as a Frequency Shift Keying modem, sending data at a pretty low baud rate to the software on the iOS device.
So it is doable, but my understanding it takes a combination of a hardware device to transmit the data via the headphone jack, and then a specific iOS app designed to capture and read that data.
Definitely non-trivial.
P.S. the modem itself is commercially available, example -

Exchange, iPhone/iPad and my Mac

Hi
I have been using my work-Exchange account on my iPad and iPhone for a long time now, but I'm not allowed to use my Mac at home to access the servers at work.
Is there any way I can use the mobile-exchange server (or webmail) settings in OS X? I have access via webmail as well, but its a pain to use, and I would rather be using iCal, Address Book and Mail to manage my exchange related stuff...
The server is there, I am allowed access via my cellphone... Frustrating...

I too am having this problem. But I find the setup is not the same iPhone/iPad iOS Mail as it is to OS X Mail. In iOS, you touch the option to add a new Exchange account. It asks for your user name, password and a domain. If you don't connect straight away you'll then be asked for a server. We use "webmail.company_name.com". This is the same as our OWA (outlook web access) server. Upon entering the webmail server address, BOOM, you have mail, contacts and calendars.
Switch to OS X Mail. When you add a new account it no longer prompts you to select the account type (eg: Google, Yahoo, Exchange) like it used to. Now it simply asks for your name, user name and password then attempts to self-configure. In my case, after a long delay, I'm asked what type of account I want to setup: Exchange 2007, Exchange IMAP. When I pick Exchange 2007 I'm never able to get mail messages. In fact, I'm asked to enter an internal server, external server, ports, etc., etc. etc.
What I'd really like to see is a simple setup in OS X Mail just like there is in iOS Mail.

Is there a way to add/delete music to my iPhone/iPad directly through Time Capsule?

I understand it is a long shot, but I also feel like Apple technology isn't far off from having this function. Let me explain:
My MacBook serves me one function: acting as an interface for adding/deleting/editing my music for my devices (iPhone & iPad). It is the only reason why I still have my MacBook, and quite frankly, I'm sick of using it.
Have we reached a point where I can finally eliminate the need of having this MacBook?
All of my 500+ GBs of music has already been organized in iTunes (my way). The files are stored in my current external hard drive. My library is visible from iTunes but you can't play songs unless my hard drive is connected. What I currently do in order to swap music, is light up the hard drive and my MacBook, plug in my device and add/delete through iTunes. It is such a grueling process that always takes way more time than I'd like it to.
My main question: Can you access the contents of your Time Capsule from your iPhone/iPad?

I understand this might go beyond your understanding but a little input would be great. This isn't really a question, more like an idea:
Ideally, I would have all 500 GBs of my music on my device at all times. Realistically, this is impossible until iPhone15 is out... so how about in the meantime, there is an app you can download that works in conjunction with hardware you need to buy seperately. The hardware acts as an external hard drive that stores all your music, and the app acts as the interface. All you need to do is connect the devices, and drag and drop with your finger. It seems so incredibly simple. I don't understand why this technology doesn't exist.
I assume you know more about limitations and things like that. I just wanted to get a discussion going.

Need to embed (not attach) graphics into an iOs 7 iphone/iPad

I need to embed several graphs and charts in .png format into an e-mail to be read on an iOs 7 iphone/iPad. If I embed more than six, they all show up as download links, which is not acceptable. Is the limit based upon number of images, or total size of all images embedded?
If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate reading them.
Thanks!

Safari on the iphone does not provide user simple tabs. Tilt screens hitting several buttons on a small surface with adult fingers don't match. The ease of gliding back and forth is a balancing act.
You can swipe left to close open tabs instead of using the tiny "x"
Perhaps the only design / function improvement is the choice of font style and size. However, the change of font is limited to communication functions and does not improve web reading.
For web reading you can use "Reader" in Safari. To the left of the address bar will be an icon that looks like lines on a page. Tap that to open the page in reader mode.

Hebrew ebooks (.epub) for iPhones, iPads and Android

Hello,
I want to convert a book I wrote to .epub format in order to display it in iPhones, iPads and Android using reading apps.
I already tried converting the file using Scrivener (Which worked on iPhones but not on iPads and androids) and with Calibre which has a bug with Hebrew letters.
A friend told me InDesign might be a good choice so I wanted to ask you:
[1] Is it possible to convert to .epub and display Hebrew letters in RTL direction and right text-alignment?
[2] If so, Which of the two programs should I purchase (199$ / 299$)?
[3] Does the convertion process is simple enough?
[4] Is it possible to convert to .mobi as well?
Thanks,
Oren

There are some difficult issues in what you're trying to do. One is that in order to get RTL support with InDesign, you need to be using InDesign ME. See a recent thread where I suggested the poster contact the company that produces the ME version for Adobe:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172125
Second, you'll need to make sure the Hebrew font is licensed for embedding, and you'll need to learn about creating EPUBs in InDesign. I'd suggest starting with eBooks by Liz Castro.
Here's a link to her website:

Need to create .MP4 that works with iPhone/iPad

Hi all,
I'm under the gun here and running into a wall and would appreciate anyone's help:
I'm currently creating video content that's being hosted on an HTML5-based site. Because of this, we have specific requirements about what we can/cannot use for formats.
The most acceptable format is an MP4 wrapper with H.264 encoding and AAC audio.
However, the files that are currently deployed won't play on iPhones or iPads (iOS).
The HTML5 standards guide states that: "Mobile phones like Apple’s iPhone and Google Android phones support H.264 video (baseline profile) and AAC audio (“low complexity” profile) in an MP4 container."
I don't know what a "baseline profile" with "low complexity" audio is.
When I look in Compressor, there are settings for iPhone and iPad, but this makes an .m4v file.
Is the only way to support web video on iPhone/iPad with an .m4v file?
If it can support .mp4, what program/settings should I use to ensure playback?
Thanks much!

Still would like to know if this can be done in Compressor.
Can you select the ipod/iphone preset and just change the extension to .mp4? Will this make an MP4 with H.264 encoding as "Simple Profile"?
And I'd love it if someone could define what "simple profile" and "low complexity" means?

Iphone/Ipad Gestures

Hi ya,
I am making a app at the moment and using CSS3 and HTML 5, so far I have learned how to animate using CSS3 and HTML 5 but I really need to know how to get animations within the CSS3 to trigger via finger taps and swipes, Do I do this using Javascript and if so are there any examples showing the code I would need? surely its a simple case of removing the Onclick and Mouseover events with specific Iphone/Ipad gesture names?
Thanks

Why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini,

why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini, why... ...
Mr. jobs would hv helped me
it it just so simple ...these people are working on icloud, photostream etc etc
think .....if we have a wireless link with the camera of iphone we can record movies and carry out editing at the same moment on desktops that too wirlesssly
its just like have a one way facetime with our desktops......wow
eventually apple people will come up with this same idea later some time
but the question is why it doesnt connect why?

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?
