Kindle Fire & Adobe Air issues with scaling & bottom menu - GPU Mode only

Hi,
Long post ahead, please buckle down for a while.
I'm having issues with the Kindle Fire and the bottom 20 pixel menu in GPU mode, CPU mode behaves correctly. The project was created with flash cs5.5, the stage size is 1024x600 and I've set the NO_SCALE flag. When the app is run on the Kindle Fire the Kindle scales it to 1024x580 for the bottom 20 pixel menu. If I create the project as 1024x580 it still scales it down and then centers it vertically introducing a 10pixel black bar at the top and I would assume a 10 pixel black bar at the bottom under their menu. In CPU mode the app is not scaled and the bottom 20 pixels is obscured.
The problems I have encountered so far are incorrect mouse locations as reported in various mouse events. Messed up scrollRects when I try and clip something for display. Not being able to press buttons because of the incorrect mouse coordinates, the further down on the screen the more incorrect the buttons are. You can click below a button near the bottom of the screen and have it activate whereas a button at the top acts perfectly. This is due to the accumulated error value from the yPos * scaleValue.
The mouse positions are off exactly by a scale factor of 600 / 580 (1.034).
The video below shows the problems, sorry for the poor video handling. The red line in the video is drawn in the center of the y position detected on a mouse move and mouse down event, but shifted to the left for visibility. The center of that stylus is where it should be at all times, as you can see it isn't. You can also see displayed the buttons not working correctly, they are clearly being activated when the press on the screen is not over the button (indicated by the red line).
The circle in the middle of the screen has it's scrollRect set to to the width and height of the circle, as you can see it is clipped.
At the end of the video I press the power button then press it again to unlock, you can see the screen looks good for a split second then gets resized. Once resized the circle becomes clipped again. If I were fast enough I would assume the buttons would work correctly as well. Watch closely, it happens fast.
Oh, and the app works fine on the desktop in either GPU or CPU mode. The app also works fine in GPU and CPU mode on my iPad2, Google HTC Nexus One, Nook Color and my 4th gen iPod Touch.
Now whos issue is this? Adobes, Amazons or mine? I know what the problem is but don't know how to fix it.

Thanks for your time!
PS: if anyone wants the .fla for testing themselves, just ask and I will post a link to it.

I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review. In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.

Adobe AIR : Issue with StageVideo FullScreen on MacBook w/ Retina

Has anyone run into an issue with StageVideo running in FullScreen mode on high-res monitors, such as a MacBook Pro with retina?
The issue I'm seeing is that the video runs fine if the application is windowed, but when it goes full screen, the video display is cropped to a quarter of the MacBook Pro screen size. The rest of the viewable area is black.
Things worth knowing:
Fullscreen works perfect on lower-res monitors
This only happens on a MacBook Pro in the ADL Preview OR when requestedDisplayResolution is set to TRUE in the Application Descriptor file.
If requestedDisplayResolution is set to FALSE, and your run the application (outside of ADL Preview), FullScreen works fine.
I'm setting the viewport with stageVideo.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0 , 0 , 1440 , 900 );
I haven't been able to find any information out there on this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-m

According to the docs (StageVideo - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference):
The absolute position and size of the video surface in pixels.
The position of the video is relative to the upper left corner of the stage.
The valid range of the x and y properties of the viewPort Rectangle object are -8192 to 8191. Therefore, you can position the video completely or partially off the stage. You can also make the video larger than the stage if you make the width and height properties of the viewPort property larger than the stage.
It seems like you need to pass the full stage width and height to the stageView.viewPort call. Currently you're hardcoding it to 1440 x 900, what is the actual dimensions of your screen?

I cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X.

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and every time I try to install Air Adobe 3 I get the message
"You cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X."
Could anyone help me?
Jai

Hi,
Adobe won't be developing for 10.5.8 new features (including new runtime) only security relates updates for existing runtimes (Flash 10.3.*/Air 2.7.*). Flash 11/Air 3.0 are only supported on 10.6.8.*/10.7.*, see:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91694.html#main_system_requirements
There is recent, lengthy thread on forums with Adobe's employees statements on that subject (support/development for 10.5.* and newer) but I cannot find it quickly as basically forum search is broken/hard to do,
regards,
Peter

Testing adobe air application with qtp

Hi,
We want to test our adobe air applications with quicktest. Where can I find addin for QTP and how do the AIR applcation have to be developed? What have to be done? There is no much info in google about this.
Thank you in advanced!

QTP does not currently work with AIR applications. It will work with Web deployed FLEX applications.
I have been told by Adobe that whilst they're not sure of an exact date, they do believe that QTP will be supported in AIR with Flex 4.
You might want to look at some alternatives:

HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding

Accidentally associated Adobe AIR file with Acrobat, now an otherwise easily fixed problem has been causing me far too much anger.

I accidentally associated an Adobe AIR file to open Adobe Acrobat in it's stead, now an otherwise easily fixed problem has been causing me far too much anger.
Basically I downloaded an .air file after recently reformatting my computer, and I tried to open it with Acrobat. Now, since there is no actual application and or shortcut created by AIR I can't just tell the file to use that. I've found that I'm not alone in this issue, have tried a few things I've read on both this forum and others, and have come to no resolution as of yet. This file isn't anything of any great significance, but it bugs me so much that at this point I just want to know how to fix this and win this little battle.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

Thank JJMack - that has helped me get closer to the problem.
I opened the resource monitor and you can see a screenshot of what is going on when I try to save a simple, 9 Kb graphic. (I'm saving an RGB JPG, not a PNG or animated GIF file. Doing anything complex / memory intensive than saving or simple edits in PS is almost impossible.)
As you can see from the screencap below, when I save (it doesn't make a difference if it is save vs. save to web or a network or local drive) Photoshop becomes unresponsive. (From past experiences, if I try to switch to a non-Adobe program it will also freeze and sometimes crash.) When PS becomes unresponsive, the NT Kernel & System immediately goes to the top of the list and uses 200+ threads.
From there Photoshop will typically be frozen for about a minute, then will recover and take another minute or two to finish the save. At that point PS is okay, but the rest of the computer is still frozen with CPU oscillating up to almost 100%.
As soon as the NT Kernel & System settles down, everything is back to normal again (as long as I haven't used other programs, which in one case required a hard reboot.)
It is pretty clear the problem is rooted in Adobe / Window 7 as I only have this problem with Adobe programs. (Illustrator isn't as bad, but I've had problems with it as well.)
The question is: How do I fix this, as it is killing my ability to work?
Thanks! Julie

Adobe Connect issues with Windows 7

Has anyone found a solution to the problems Adobe Connect has with Windows 7?

Sounds like something is blocking network traffic. I'm not aware of any Windows 7 specific issues. I've used Windows 7 with connect for 2 years with no Windows specific issues.
I'd call support at 800-945-9120 and see if they can indentify the issue and give you a resolution.

Adobe 9 issues with forms in Acrobat Reader 7

I've been reading up on this forum as to why the adobe rights are disabled after a user saves their data in Reader. I have been adding form fields in Adobe Standard 9 then save the file, test it in Reader, then Extend the Forms Fill-In for Adobe Reader and save the file with a slightly different name. The only usage rights that are allowed is to Save Form Data. When I test the file in Reader 7, I can save the data but when I go into the document to make sure my data is there, I get that dreaded and popular message "Adobe Rights have changed and are no longer valid dialog box...
I never changed the original extended file to cause this..even when I don't add data but save to a new file anyway I lose the writable functionality.
A side note, I do not use LiveCycle and have been asked not to when creating these forms.
I did not have any problems with the forms that I had other people create and extend in Adobe Pro 8. It seems to be a Standard 9 and Pro 9 problem. Or, it could very well be me!
I use Reader 7 to test because these forms are for a volunteer organization and there are users on some early versions of Reader. II do not use earlier versions of Reader. This doesn't seem to be an issue in Reader 9. I cannot vouch for Reader 8.
I just had one of my form writers take my form that was done in Standard 9 and Extend Forms Fill-In via Adobe Pro 8. She initally received a message stating that the file appears to use a new format and it may not open or display correctly. I then got that same message when opening the extended version of the file. The document rights on the new form allow me to add comments and markup, a digital signature and save form data. Once I fill out the fields and try to save, also get another dialog box telling me that I need Adobe Standard or Professional to save (in this case it was 7 since I'm testing in Reader 7).
The forms that I am creating are initally PDFed by another party. The orignal forms are created in QuarkXpress 4.1 and PDFed using Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Macintosh. I retrieve the files from a web site and save them to my hard drive to work on them. They are shared via email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent the last week researching but no anwers to help me solve this particular issue with 9.

Interesting. I did just do the Reduce File Size and extended the document and there were no dialog boxes when I saved my data. The file size got larger instead of smaller and I received the message at the end of the Reduce File Size cycle that said " Enforcement of compatability to an earlier version of Acrobat has increased the size of some images". There is an image in the file, not one that I added, but from the original document. No change to the image either. No biggie to me. As long as my users can fill out the form and come back to it later to make changes, I'm happy!
Thank you. I think that solved it!

Adobe Bridge issue with index.html files

Hi, I have a perplexing problem.... Three weeks ago, I created a web photo gallery in Bridge. I transferred it to my website via FTP and it worked like a charm. Three days later I created another web gallery transferred it to my website using my ftp and the address of what I uploaded takes me to a blank page. I contacted my web hosting support and was told it looks like an issue with my index.html file. Here is a link to the gallery that is working: www.janieblanchard/com/galleries/prettylights/index.html
Here is the link to the site that is not working:

Adobe CS3 Issues with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

After spending an initial $1,800.00 for CS3, I'm not dropping another $40
0 to $500, just so I can use them under Snow Leopard. Although, I'm hearing a lot of issues with CS4 and Snow Leopard, too.
The problem I have found so far is that when any one of the CS3 applications attempts to check for "Updates...", they crash. I'm unable to update each of the CS3 applications from the original versions on my DVD.
I receive a dialog box that states that "Adobe Updater" quit unexpectedly.
Apple and/or Adobe MUST fix this. I have a newer Intel-based iMac. I completely reinstalled the Mac OS X to Snow Leopard and installed the Adobe apps on a clean computer. ALL of my other applications from other manufacturers are running fine

Can you get your updates from, say, [here|http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=adobe%20upda tes%20photoshop%20cs3&cat=support]. Check fast these are search results. To reproduce what I found, I went to Adobe.com and searched on Adobe updates Photoshop CS3. That's the only CS3 program I searched on.

Adobe flash issues with both IE6 and Firefox

I just installed adobe flash 9 on my win2k computer. When I
try to go to www.yourminis.com I get two different results, in IE6
I start to get a web page, but then IE freezes. In Firefox, I get a
big blue quicktime Q the blinks a bit, then a question mark
superimposes over the Q and nothing else happens.
I also cannot view this page under Firefox in Freespire
Linux, but there, it tells me I don't have a new enough version of
Flash Player, but I downloaded and installed the newest version
available for Linux, and I tried both the normal automatic install
and the manual install (which was a pain in the butt because
Freespire has no admin log in, and you have to do all your copying
of files from a command line using the sudo command...)
Why is this happening? I even have an issue with flash and
the yahoo home page, in IE6 it works fine, but in Firefox, where
you normally see the yahoo logo at the top of the page, instead you
see the big blue Quicktime Q and then the question mark, and the
yahoo logo never comes up (this isn't a big issue, I don't need to
see the animated yahoo logo, but since Firefox is doing the same
thing on www.yourminis as it is with the Yahoo logo animation, I
thought it might be significant)
I even disabled ALL file types in Quicktime's settings except
Quicktime Movies format, because QT won';t LET me disable that one.
Still having the same problems.
Oh, and all this is happening under Administrative User, with
full priveledges in Win2k, so don't tell me I need to be admin or
something like that.

Testing adobe air applications with fake apple certificate in iOS simulator running in a hackintosh

I can compile an Adobe Air application on windows with a fake apple certificate. Can I test this application in iOS Simulator running on a hackintosh? Or is the simulator blocking testing of IPA outside from XCode ie: it's not a standalone simulator for IPA files. Are there any affordable web service for testing IPA with a true emulator or real device? I'm asking this because Flash Builder doesn't provide a true simulator, it lacks essential API functions such as NativeWindow.

Hello,
thanksk so far. I can now create an ANE, hopefully it is correct...
Now, while trying to use it in my mobile application, calling the Constructor of my SWC interface > call initNativeExtension() I get an:
Type Error #1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
It seems that my code cannot load the ANE because I cannot instatiate the extension object.
Can you help me ?

Adobe forms issue with signature pads

Hi everyone,
I am new to and just joined this forum as I never had to until this point. I am having some strange issue with adobe forms and using signature pad.
I have a form built using adobe X. I am using Topaz signature pad to have a digital signature in my form. My application (which was built on Progress 4GL) opens up this form using rich text editor. Most of my clients remote login to use the application. Every now and then my clients complain that whenever they click on the signature field on the form to open up the signature pad window, it kicks them out of the whole application. This happens so randomly that they can't predict when it occurs. I logged each and every lines on my code to see if there's any issue with the codes but they all execute fine. And I can't log after the form is open as adobe takes the control and they handle the communication with signaute pad. So far I have checked if there's any memory leakage that would kick me out and it's fine. And I think there's no driver issue as this happens randomly. A client who gets kicked out 1st time if tries the 2nd or 3 rd time following the same steps and same form, can successfully gets the job done.
Have any of you had faced similar issue. If you have any solutions or ideas that would be a great help to me.
Thanks!!
Him

Updates: Just found out that this issue rises only to the clients using Wyse terminals. Has anyone had any issue using Adobe forms and Wyse terminals?
