Kindle Fire and Adobe Air plug in + Air 2.7 + gpu + landscape + full screen

Alright I got a couple of issues here.
First I was on air 2.7 trying to convert an app that is designed to run in gpu mode, in landscape orientation, and full screen, well this is a known bug on 2.7 and the work arounds I found did not solve my problems or I was not clear on implementing them.
Then I figured I go 3.1, surely that issue is fixed by now, run the app on my Kindle Fire and it tells me my air is out of date so it prompts me to go to the Amazon app store for an update except when I do it just takes me to the free app of the day page and I can't manually find the air app through the built in amazon app store, I see it on the web version but cannot download it, and if I am having this problem all the users will too so some solution like getting it off the android market and putting on the fire manually is useless.
It seems that there is no plug in available on the amazon app store that will allow the fire to run applications built in 3.1, is this true? I've seen a few posts regarding this. And if true, why and when will this be fixed? I wasted a day with this problem when I could have been doing some design.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

A word of caution:
the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates.  So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem.  I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7.  Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them.  Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'.  What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function.  Hopefully, this will work this time.  If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

  • Some water it fell to the hole where I can put my air plugs or air phones? And now the sound its not working. What should I do?

    What should I do when water fell on the hole where my air plugs goes and where I can hear some music?

    Best to take the iPhone to the Apple genius bar and have them ckeck it out...see if it can be cleaned and restored or needs replacement.  Water and electronics do not play well together.

  • Kindle Fire and emails

    Hello,
    I may be in the wrong place here, but can anyone tell us how to SEND emails on our new Kindle fire?  We can receive them fine. We have a desktop with XP and use Outlook Express; we are with BT Broadband.  We thought we'd done everything correctly, but obviously not.
    Many thanks.

    If its the standard Kindle email you are using and are happy with POP3 set up try these settings. (Obviously user name and password are your own BTYahoo ones). You may have used this set up

  • Kindle Fire and Cisco Valet M10

    I am having trouble keeping the connection constant on my Kindle Fire.  I've re-entered everything manually.  My iPhone and 2 other computers are fine.  Please help!

    There are times when your Valet Hotspot receives large frames of data, thus resulting to slow Internet connectivity.  This is most common when streaming videos or playing online games.  To resolve this issue, you can configure the MTU settings of your Valet Hotspot.

  • Kindle Fire and Uverse App Update to new version

    I use my Kindle Fire to watch live TV from my office up until this last week.  Apparently Uverse did an app update and now the current version is not compatible.  When I search for the updated App in the App store the only option now is the Kids Uverse version.  When I click on the link from Uverse.com, the app says it is incompatible and cannot download.  Is there a Kindle Fire version or a way to update the old one so it will work?

    Kindle is Android compatible , so you should be able to side load the Uverse app from 1mobile market.   http://www.1mobile.com/at-t-u-verse-130810.html  Otherwise you will have to wait for Amazon Store to update their Uverse version.

  • Safari and Adobe Reader Plug-in

    Hello,
    Because of some weird setup on the web site where I was getting the PDF file from, I had to get Adobe Reader Plug-in. I downloaded it, installed, everything seemed fine. But - still no plug in. Looked in ~/library/Internet Plug ins, nothing there (at all!). This reminded me that I had problems with other Adobe plug in, such as Flash.
    Anybody knows what is going on? I run Safari 4.0.4, on MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.2. I did all the maintenance - Reset Cashe, Reset Safari.
    Thanks,

    Hi Gammer576775!
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPod touch:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
    Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
    The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
    Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Using Win 10 there is a need for an app to determine the full device display area and aspect ratio programitically; the dimensions are needed to create full-screen bitmap.

    While Windows.Current.Bounds returns the application windows size, in order to create a full-screen bitmap my app would need to retrieve the full display area  of the device. I cannot even get the aspect ratio.
    Pre-Win10, using Windows.Current.Bounds I can create a bitmap of whatever size application window the user is seeing. When the user is showing my app at full screen, I can therefore get the full display area and aspect ratio of the device and create a full-screen
    bitmap.
    With Win10, the user would need to know to hide the taskbar and also display at full-screen before an app can retrieve the display area and aspect ratio using Windows.Current.Bounds.
    Before Win10 it's obvious to the user that full-screen is or is not being used. When I create the bitmap, I create it to fit the application window. When the app is displayed full screen, the bitmap will be full screen. Also, the app starts full-screen so
    I can detect the display area at startup if I need to.
    With Win10, to the user the app "looks like" it is full screen with the taskbar displayed even though it's not really full screen.
    I believe that in Win10 determining the full display area will be useful and not just retrieving the application window size.

    Rob, Is this forum best way to get my suggestion to the development team?
    Before Win10 it's obvious to the user that full-screen is or is not being used. When I create the bitmap, I create it to fit the application window. When the app is displayed full screen, the bitmap will be full screen. Also, the app starts full-screen
    so I can detect the display area at startup if I need to.
    With Win10, to the user the app "looks like" it is full screen with the taskbar displayed even though it's not really full screen.
    Yes, Windows.Current.Bounds does work the same, but I believe that in Win10 determining the full display area will be useful and not just the application window.

  • Opening flash .swf and constraining it to it's original size rather than full-screen

    When I open a flash object (.swf) from my desktop to test it, it opens full screen. I would like to constrain it so that it opens to the size it was created, e.g., 800 x 600.

    If you open an SWF link directly in a browser tab then you always get the dimensions of that tab. You either have to open the link in a new window and resize it or use the above mentioned bookmarklet code with a keyword and the url as the parameter to replace the %S. Bookmarklet code like that is very handy as you can also use it if Firefox insists in downloading a file (image) and you want to open it in a tab. Of course you need to supply the correct MIME type in that case.

  • My bookmarks bar and toolbar do not drop down when Safari is in full-screen mode.

    I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down.  Once I escape then I can see them fine.  I'm also having issues with dragging or dropping ANYTHING. A gost image of what I am trying to move shows, and will not go away unless I force quit Mail or Safari. Needless to say, what I ws attempting to drag and drop does not take effect.

    Hi..
    I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down.
    Click the title bar one time. The gray area of the window at the very top of your screen in full screen mode.
    Not sure what you mean by, "anything", when dragging and dropping. Right or control click the content. There may be an option for saving that data for you from the menu.
