Landscape Splash screen iOS

Hi,
I have included the file '[email protected]' (960w x 640h) when exporting from flash cs5.5
My app is in landscape, but the splash screen shows in portrait, and stretched on my ipod4.
How can i correct this?
Also, is it possible to specify how long the splash screen is shown, but at the same time have the app loading in the background running code?
With GPU rendering I addChildren to the display list while its hidden by a black square at first. This allows smoother use of the images when i finally do show them.
I would like to add Children to the display list while the splash screen is still showing.
Thanks

The default pngs are always portrait, either 320x480 or 640x960. You can use them for landscape apps, just take your landscape design and turn it on its side.
I believe the splash screen will go away as soon as it can. You could have the same image in your swf, and have it sat there while the preloading is going on.

(Landscape) Splash screen on mobile not sizing properly when device is held in Portrait

I have a mobile project (AIR) for iPad and iPhone that has landscape splash screens when the user taps the icon. However, when the user is holding the device in portrait mode, the splash screen image opens and resizes a landscape image to show in portrait mode. It really looks bad too! I have only provided landscape images. Do anyone know what is happening here?

Does your app support portrait? If so, you should be providing the necessary portrait icons.
If not, you should be restricting your apps orientation. An event is fired off upon orientation change giving you a chance to control it:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/events/StageOrien tationEvent.html
In my landscape-only apps it's specified in the app XML and then I simply listen for changes. e.g.
// listen for orientation change
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, _orientationChangeHandler);
// neglect any orientation change that isn't landscape
function _orientationChangeHandler(e:StageOrientationEvent):void
if (e.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.DEFAULT || e.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN)
e.preventDefault();
Although this may not even be necessary anymore, the XML should really allow orientation specification limits just like device limits. That code allows the user to use landscape or landscape upside down (Apple requires this) and neglects portrait or portrait upside down.

Edge Animate correct software for Animated Splash Screen iOS app???

Hi eveyone, I am fairly new to the mobile designing and come from a print background, 99% of my posts are on the InDesign forums.
I was wondering if you could please direct me to the best way to create an Animated Splash Screen for iOS?
Would Adobe Edge Animate be the right tool?
Or is there a different way to do it?
I thought it would be coded by the app developers but I can't really find enough info and I'm a bit out of my depth to understand all the websites I've read.

Yes, it would be pretty simple with phonegap.

Only portrait splash screen (no landscape) for app

Is it possible for a DPS app created in App Builder to only have a portrait splash screen?
As in, our company does not want a landscape splash screen embedded.
Portrait splash screen could be rotated; however, this would add unnecessary size to the footprint of the download.

For my portrait-only apps I always create both splash screens, using rotated portrait as landscape.
The overhead on the app size is minimal, and not worth worrying about.

AIR 3.9 as3 IOS app stuck on launch / loading / splash screen

When deploying an app to ipad2 ios7/iphone4 ios6/iphone5 ios7 the app doesnt get past the loading/splash screen.
Ive tried debugging on the device via usb but doesnt even hit the first breakpoint on the firtst line of code. Also deployed via testflight with the same result ie stuck on the loading screen.
I released the app in December but the app freezes on the loading screen from the app store!!?? Ive no idea how this passed apple testing etc and it previosly worked. ..Has anyone got any advice on how to debug this or does anyone know what could be the problem?
Ive now created a VERY simple app for testing, this includes all icons etc and just displays some text in a text box. This also freezes on the loading screen.

It might have something to do with the new way iOS7 shows the last active screen of an app as a screenshot and optionally replaces it with the running app, if the app had been killed in the background. That way, it seems that more apps are running concurrently than the device supports. There's often a flicker showing the real app behind the splash screen WHEN I minimize a stuck splash screen.

IPad splash screen/launch behavior broken in landscape mode for AIR 3.6?

I just updated to Air 3.6 (under FB 4.6) and I'm now seeing an issue with my app launching in landscape mode when the home button is on the left.
This is on my iPad 2 (running iOS 6.0). However, it doesn't happen on my iPad3 (running iOS5.1).
Launching my app under Air 3.6 on my iPad2 with the home button on the left the following sequence happens :
- The splash screen will appear properly.
- As the splash screen is going away, the app will rotate upside down and remain upside down after finishing launching.
- I must rotate the iPad 180 degrees and then back again to get it to recognize the correct orientation.
I have some other apps that use the same project as a template and share the same launch code. An app that I have that was compiled under Air 3.4 does not exhibit this problem at all on the exact same iPad. The launch sequence works seemlessly.
I have some other apps that were compiled under Air 3.2 on the same iPad that exhibit the following behavior, which isn't as severe :
- The splash screen will appear properly.
- The splash screen for a brief moment flips upside down.
- The splash screen then rights itself and the app launches the right way up as it should.
So it appears that something has changed in the way the AIR 3.6 is handling splash screens and the launching of an app.
I'm not sure if this could be related to the issue that was posted here (although it was indicated for iPod/iPhone) :
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5194883#5194883

Thanks Zero7Eleven!
Going into FB->Project Properties->ActionScript Compiler and adding -swf-version=19 to the "Additional compiler agruments" section seems to have fixed the issue for me.
It looks like this compiler agrument was mentioned in the release notes here, which I didn't find ealier :

Starting iOS application - splash screen, preloader

Hi, I have a question about publishing iOS apps from Flash CS5. I think I understand the concept well but still there are some points I would like to know better. For example how can I create a splash screen that is displayed when my application is starting? Now when I run my Flash CS5 published application on the iPad - there is a black splash screen. The second thing - what is the correct approach for loading dynamic data - game levels for example? I think I'm limited to have only one swf file for the application. I want to load this file as soon as possible to be able to display a preloader that loads the rest data of my application.
Thx.

For the splash screen, create a file called Default.png as described here:

IOS launch screen / splash screen shift

Hi All,
I've implemented launch screen images, including [email protected], and am testing on an iPhone 4.
When I disable my splash screen (i.e. I don't set the app's splashScreenImage prop) the launch image displays briefly, then I get a blank white screen for multiple seconds while my app loads.
If I enable the splash screen, like this...
splashScreenImage = "@Embed('[email protected]')"
the app displays the image continuously, first as iPhone launch screen, then as AIR splash screen, but when it switches from launch screen to splash screen the image is displayed about 19 pixels lower than it was when displayed as launch screen.
This happens with splashScreenScaleMode set to both "stretch" and "zoom".
I can provide two different images, instead of using the same image, and make most of the shift invisible to the user, but there are two problems with this approach:
It's obviously kludgy. It would be nice if this just worked.
I'm fairly sure that even if I get this to look good on iPhone 4, it will look bad on iPhone 5, and vice-versa. If we could use different splash screen images for 4 and 5 we could kludge a fix that way, but I don't believe that that's possible.
Two questions:
Any suggestions?
Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks,
Douglas

Hi Colin,
> Might be worth doing a trace of the scale mode, just out of curiosity.
I've done some googling and set a few breakpoints - all indicate that Flex apps have a default scale mode of NO_SCALE.
If I could configure my app to use SHOW_ALL immediately at startup, that might solve the spash screen problem. I could then change the mode back to NO_SCALE in my app's preInitialize handler, which I'd probably want to do as SHOW_ALL would probably be problematic when the app started to display.
That would be an interesting experiment, but I don't see any way to configure a Flex app to begin with any scale mode other than the default, so I'm at a dead end there.
I don't fully understand what you're suggesting re using a SWC. Looks like we're running up against the Flex-nonFlex divide.
> I don't know how Flex users solve the problem of getting the stage to be in a particular state right away.
We let the framework handle this for us, and don't think about it, which is great, until it isn't.
Or, to put it another way, I think that we may not have much control over this in a Flex app.
I'm imagining a possible strategy of creating a non-Flex AIR app and having it load my Flex SWF, but I'm not sure it's a good investment of my time to research/attempt this. For one thing I'm not _sure_ that I'll have a problem on iPhone 5. I'll find some way to test this, and postpone worrying about this until I'm sure that I actually have a problem.
But thanks a lot for all your input - this(scale mode, etc) is good stuff to be aware of.

Splash Screen Landscape

Does anyone know how to fix the splash screen issue of the splash screen quickly shifting to the right and then back in place ?
I thought this would be fixed in 3.3

Can you provide details about the following :
1) The device you are using
2) Images you are packaging
3) If your app is full-screen or not
4) The launch orientation i.e. Portrait or Landscape

Splash Screen Embed issue

hi
building app using Flex 4.6 with AIR 3.2 for iOS, i came across an issue with the Splash Screen on main application that on applying it and push the first view which loads an external swf having *Embedded images , the access Class for these Embedded images comes with an Error Type #1007 but on removing (do not apply) the Splash Screen from main application , the same code for Embedded Class runs fine.
am not understanding the connection between External Swf Embedded images and the splash screen. any help regaring the issue would be highly appreciated.
For reference:
Embedded Code in external swf file as follow:-
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
import flashx.textLayout.compose.ISWFContext;
public class Slide1 extends Sprite implements ISWFContext
        [Embed("slide1/sldBg1.png", mimeType="image/png")]--------- the *Embedded image
        public static const bg:Class;
        [Embed("slide1/9_SmileyFace8.png", mimeType="image/png")] -------- the *Embedded image
        public static const pic96:Class;
        [Embed("slide1/slide1.xml", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
        public static const slide:Class;
        public function callInContext(fn:Function, thisArg:Object, argsArray:Array, returns:Boolean=true):*{
             if (returns)
                     return fn.apply(thisArg, argsArray);
             fn.apply(thisArg, argsArray);
App xml:

        <visible>true</visible>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>true</autoOrients>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<renderMode>auto</renderMode>
<softKeyboardBehavior>pan</softKeyboardBehavior>
thanks in advance.

I absolutely position my other elements based on the location of the logo and the size of the logo and elements. I don't use any stackpanels or grids at all. I just use Canvas.LeftProperty and Canvas.RightProperty.
void PositionImage()
this.MySplashImage.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Left);
this.MySplashImage.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Top);
this.MySplashImage.Height = MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Height;
this.MySplashImage.Width = MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Width;
this.MyProgressRing.Height = MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Height / 6;
this.MyProgressRing.Width = MyProgressRing.Height;
this.MyProgressRing.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Left + (MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Width / 2));
this.MyProgressRing.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Top + MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Height - (.26 * MySplashScreen.ImageLocation.Height));

Splash Screen Security?

With 1200 series IOS APs, is it possible / will it someday be possible to enable security that involves a splash screen presented to the user when they open an IE browser, where they enter a password to get authenticated and on the WLAN? I know it's possible when creating a WLAN on the Controllers...

Currently it is not possible, and it probably won't be possible since they still have BBSM lite available. This was already an option on the Airespace product before Cisco was involved, thus it was carried over to the 4400 series controllers.

Splash screen always messes up on iPhone 5. Must fix so I can submit to the App Store.

When I start my app on the iPhone 5, the propper [email protected] splash screen shows for a bit and it looks great, but then it changes its mind after a moment and shows the 'legacy' [email protected] one which makes the splash screen look stretched and jarring and unacceptable for being downloaded from the App Store. This seems extremely bizzare for it to hop between splash screens.
Why does it do this? How can I get the splash screen to not be messed up so I can submit it to the App Store?
Perhaps there is an actual proper way to explicitly say it supports the iPhone 5 extra screen space in the plist manifest rather than just adding the png that would fix this?
Since existing AIR apps are broken in iOS 6/iPhone 5, it is important for me to fix this and get the app updated as soon as possible.

So I just installed AIR 3.5 Beta and SDK for FlashBuilder 4.6. I dropped the splash screen images, [email protected], [email protected], and Default.png in the root of the src folder. I then tested it on an iPhone 4S and while it loads the correct splash screen, [email protected], there is an all white screen in between the time the splash screen disappears and the main application screen loads. It lasts for maybe 2 seconds - defintely noticeable. I am not sure if this previously occurred as I was using a dynamic splash screen based upon DPI, 320 or 160. I assumed that this new method would be an easier route to go since both the 4S and 5 have roughly the same DPI.
I don't have an iPhone 5 to test it on.
Thanks.

OS X 10.8 Game Center won't load past log in and splash screen

I upgraded to mountain lion on wednesday and noticed Game Center does not allow me to log in. A splash screen appears over the log in screen (green with brown border) with no text in it and just a <cancel> button.
If I cancel this box, the log in screen appears, but when I enter my apple Id and password, nothing happens. I have also tried creating a new ID without success. it also does move off the log in screen.

It's working now.
(I am in the US).
I eventually read a solution that worked! I signed into Game Center using an iPad, and now I can sign into GC on my Mac.
In https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4137013?start=15&tstart=0, shehroze says "So I guess the other thing to try is that if the Chess method doesn't work. Log in to game Center using an iOS device and accepting the terms and then try logging in again on Game Center on your Mac"

Phonegap and squashed android splash screen

Hi all,
is there a way to get a splash screen to show correctly on most devides (phones, tablets...).
I tried to use a 320x480 png file but I get horrible results: the splash image is brutally stretched while loaded on a tablet (landscape).
Is there a way to set multiple images as splash screen and let the app pick the right one based on screen resolution/orientation?
I also tried to use a 9-patch image but it seems phonegap ignore it.
TIA
tony

Take a look at the config.xml documentation on the PhoneGap Build site: https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml.
PhoneGap supports ldpi, mdpi, and hdpi splash screens for Android with the following config options:
<gap:splash src="splash/android/ldpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="ldpi" />
<gap:splash src="splash/android/mdpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="mdpi" />
<gap:splash src="splash/android/hdpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="hdpi" />
For details of the different screen resolutions supported by Android, see http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html.

Splash Screen 1024x768 versus 1024x748

Dear developers....I am making an Ipad app. When I used the 1024x748 dimensions (as apple states for the splash screen image) for the Default-Landscape file, the screen shifts twice vertically. Adobe suggests using the 1024x768 dimensions......this works perfectly.....will apple accept this size for the splash screen image...or will the app be rejected? Thank you,
Justin

Thanks Colin....1024x768 works wonderfully thus far....no luck with 1024x748 (kept shifting...actually shifted twice before the launch of the app (ad hoc)). I will do the same for the retina display (2048x1536).
This is the first app I will be publishing to the app store/google play and it really is an exciting phase to see something come to life after almost 18 months of effort (part time only).
