Movable Rectangle on IOS 8.2
Hi,
A movable rectangle (see below) just appeared on my IPhone 6 plus. It is on top of the home screen, apps and the lock screen. It does not appear to prohibit touch in anyway. Does anyone know what it is? Re-booting the phone got rid of it.
This is a zoom window. Tap the screen with three fingers and choose zoom out and it goes away. To turn it off all together go to settings, general, accessibility, zoom and its the first option zoom and turn it off. Sorry I left out a step in the first reply.

How to create the selectable-resizable-movable transparent rectangle box?
Hai,
I want to create selectable-resizable-movable Transparent Rectangle box.This rectangular box may be moved and/or resized by putting the mouse pointer on a side or corner of the rectangle box.
This is for cropping the image where rhe rectangle is selected. Please help how to write the code.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Saravanan.KUnless you're doing something special here (I'm not too sure what you mean by 'may not cover the background image'), I don't think you need an 'effect'.
Try this:
private Rectangle createSelectWindow(final Color color, double length) {
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(length, length);
rect.setFill(Color.RED);
rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
rect.setOpacity(0.5); // i.e. make it 50% visible
rect.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
return rect;
}Or, if you don't want the border to be translucent and just the fill, try this:
private Rectangle createSelectWindow(final Color color, double length) {
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(length, length);
rect.setFill(new Color(1, 0, 0, 0.5)); // rgba - use an alpha of 0.5 on the fill color
rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
rect.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
rootPane.getChildren().add(rect);

Movable Safari Tabs on iOS Devices
While using my iPhone today I realized that there does not seem to be a way to move the position of tabs within safari.
I had 6 tabs open, and just based off of intuition, I tried to move a tab's location by pressing/holding onto one thinking that it would eventually shake and become movable. I was surprised to see that nothing happened and that there did not seem to be any way to rearrange tabs in safari on an iPhone (and I would assume iPad as well, but I cannot test that until later tonight).
What do you guys think about the possibility of adding the functionality to press/hold onto a tab in safari to have it shake and become movable. I think it follows the "you already know how to use it before you use it" mentality and would would be used by many users, especially if this functionality is not already on the iPad.tl:dr - Make safari tabs movable like apps on iOS devices.
Any thoughts? -
A working method to load local PDF and HTML files on iOS
I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and I'm hoping this post saves someone time. Some of the information that's been posted in other locations is either wrong, incomplete, or might only work on Android. By the time you read this message the information here may no longer be accurate, so here's the testing environment:
Window 7
Flash CS 5.5.0
AIR 2.7.0.19530, which was compiled on June 28, 2011
iPad 1, version 4.3.5 of iOS
Let's get started.
On iOS, you load external PDF and HTML files using the StageWebView class.
On Windows, StageWebView works but the HTMLLoader class is a better choice if you're creating a desktop app.
You can also load HTML files by reading in the file's text. The information in this post is only for loading external HTML files.
StageWebView will not load a file that's in File.applicationDirectory. All files bundled in your app are placed in File.applicationDirectory, which means you'll have to copy any external file you wish to load with StageWebView to another directory.
So where can you copy your file? File.applicationStorageDirectory won't work. File.documentsDirectory does work.
Several people have recommended copying to a temporary file using File.createTempFile(). This works, but there's a catch: it seems that, like Windows, StageWebView relies on a file's extension when determining how to load it. When you create a temporary file on iOS using File.createTempFile(), the file will have no extension (and on Windows, File.createTempFile() creates a file with the extension .tmp, which is equally problematic).
The solution to the file extension problem is to rename the temporary file by appending the original file's extension. AIR currently does not have a <file>.rename() function, so you'll have to do it using <tempFile>.moveTo().
Here's some code I've successfully tested several times on both iOS and Windows. The file is copied to the temp directory. The file's extension is restored by just slapping the original file name to the end of the temp file.
private function loadExternalFile():void
var webView = new StageWebView();
webView.stage = this.stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 1024, 555 );
// Works with either html or pdf files.
// These are stored in the root of the application directory.
var fileName:String = "euei.pdf";
//var fileName:String = "euei.htm";
var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );
var workingFile = File.createTempFile();
try
sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
// You have to rename the temp file
var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);
workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);
webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );
catch (err:Error) { }I tried this with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 4.0 SDK. Any pdf loaded simply fills the viewPort with black. Also tested with a png version of the pdf and that displayed just fine.
What's the purpose of copying to a temp work file? I found that webView.loadURL( sourceFile.url ); gave me the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks! -
I have iPhone4, IOS 7.1.1 - calendar view issues
I have updated both my iPhone and my iPad retina display to IOS 7.1.1. On my iPad I have the calendar view to see a list of everything in calendar, but on the iPhone I don't. I am unable to attach a screen shot so I'll explain what I can see:-
iPhone - I go into calendar and it's on a year view, I then click on today, then I click on the actual date, which zooms into a month view. I then have a few icons at the top. From left to right, I see the month/year, then a rectangle box with two lines underneath (no dots), then search option, then add entry.. I click on a day in the month and I cannot view the whole day, there is a tiny space at the bottom of the screen and it doesn't open fully so I can view by week or day. I used to be able to click on search and a whole list of all my calendar entries are in a list I can scroll through, can't seem to do that anymore!
iPad - I go into calendar and it's on a year view, I then click on Day, Week or Month view no problem. I click on search and I can see everything in a list format.
Please helpHey santhosh186,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you can't be heard and you can't hear them through the speaker phone. I understand why this is a problem and this article should be able to help you out.

IOS App Store purchase buttons greyed out
So, we have two iphones and two iPads. Today, I upated one of the iPads to 6.0.1 and now, in the APP STORE, all the purchase buttons are screwed up. First, they are no longer rectangle - they are square and only showing the first few letters. Second, they are greyed out - can't depress them. All my other devices work fine, just this one. I've tried shutting down all the apps in the task bar and hard resetting the machine. I also tried logging out of my apple id and re-logging back in. Nothing works.
I solved it. I forgot that installing iOS 6.0.1 screws with your settings - randomly on each device - four devices I've installed this on and four different results. While going through settings, RESTRICTIONS were activated which presents installing apps. Also, had to relog back into Messages and Facetime. VERY un-Apple.

Where is the "show all" link in the new IOS 7 App Store, when viewing all apps of a developer?
Hi,
it seems that I found another problem with the new IOS 7. I like the program "AppTicker" which tells me about free programs. I used to open a program, then go to releated and then look at all the programs of the developer. There was one line for iPad apps and one line for iPhone apps. If the developer had many apps, there was also a link called "show all", which showed alls iPad or iPhone apps of the developer.
Where is that link, please??
The reason, why this link is so important: Take i.e. Disney which has a promotion and half there products are free. I went on show all and in a second bought all free programs, before installing deleted them from the iPad and they were stored in my iCloud. Even if I alread had a few programs from Disney, I saw the iCould symbol, telling me, that I already bought that program.
Now it seems, I have to open one by one to see if I already bought the program or not. That is a major step back and if I don't find a solution a reason to go back to IOS 6, if that is possible.
Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
ThanksSorry to hear you lost that.
In the Library dialog, there is a section for tags. You can open that using either:
* Command+Shift+b
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
To create something like that on your Bookmarks menu or Bookmarks toolbar, you need to create a "smart" bookmark folder. The nice feature is that it breaks out your "all tags" by the tag, so there's less scanning through the list.
(1) Select and copy this places query:
place:type=6&sort=1
(2) In the Library dialog, create a new bookmark on the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Toolbar. Click the relevant location, then either:
* right-click > New Bookmark
* Organize menu > New Bookmark
(3) In the Name, enter a query description such as Alpha Tags
(4) In the Location, paste the places query
(5) Click Add.
(6) If you get a dotted rectangle instead of a blue folder icon: drag the new bookmark to another location, e.g, a folder, the Bookmarks Toolbar, etc., within the Library dialog. This forces Firefox to recognize it as a query-type bookmark. The icon should change from the dotted rectangle to the blue search folder icon. Then you can drag it back to your preferred location.
After that, it should work from your Bookmarks menu or Bookmarks toolbar (wherever it ended up) just like the Tags section of the Library dialog. -
Hotfix4 shows IOS status bar at the top
After updated to Director 12 with Hotfix4 a week ago, my ipad/iphone apps have a IOS status bar shows up at the top. Which didn't show in previous hotfix.
Any one know a way to make this "IOS status bar" (with battery, time, wifi, 3g status symbols) disappear or hidden?Hi schnell9,
I just spent the last hour trying to find a work-a-round for your problem - but no luck
I can say you are right, it's like the 3d objects have there own locZ channel order - always on top of every other type of graphic or text object except other 3d objects.
If they were locked into DTS they would move on top of other 3d objects
it's all very strange
I tried turning on and off hardware acc. openGL / preferred renderer - but still no luck here!
A crazy idea - if you need to move bitmap sprites over the top of 3d objects - could you save each bitmap graphic as flat plain 3d object, which you could then move freely over the over 3d objects.
But they would have to be rectangles.
Yes to secret apps for the moment - but only for a few months until all the international versions are finished.
Then I will be happy to show everybody what I've been up too.
I am very happy with Director
yes I know there are quite a few issues - but still my results have been very good.

AIR for iOS: iPad and iPhone Dimensions?
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find it in the forums here.
To run on the iPad, I built a 1024x768 stage-dimensions app in Flash CS6 (my app also has graphics which are 768x1024 for portrait mode).
I have this code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
I know the iPhone 4 is 960x640, and iPhone 5 is 1136x640.
My questions, since I don't have all these iPhones for testing:
1) Do earlier iPhones run in even smaller resolutions?
2) If I branch my app off to a section that also has 960x640 graphics, and if I do some device detection to direct to these graphics (when on an iPhone 4 or 5), will these 960x640 graphics still stretch to 1136x640 on the iPhone 5? Or, will the iPhone 5 have a blank area for the extra 176 pixels?
3) Are there any known ways to best-handle the pot-pourri of iPhone resolutions?
Thanks for any direction on this.you should get any resolution your app is running on with
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Capabiliti es.html#screenResolutionX
when targeting a wide array of resolutions Flashs default solutions are imo suboptimal.
On MacOSX there is sometimes the problem that you have to artificially delay the fullscreen event, otherwise it won`t work as expected.
If you are targeting iOS specifically that could be a problem, too.
this function generally works better, than using the NO_SCALE/TOP_LEFT combination:
function goScaledFullScreen() {
var screenRectangle:Rectangle=new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
stage.fullScreenSourceRect=screenRectangle;
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; -
Blue rectangle moving across the screen
Hi,
Recently I installed ios7 in my iPod touch 5th generation.
After installing this os, I was having a problem of blue rectangle moving across the screen. This usually comes if I connect the device to wifi.
Did anybody faced the same issue?
Regards,
SanthoshTry:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

WEB PAGE'S LOADING INTO AN AIR FOR iOS PROJECT
Hi!
I have a complicated problem. I try to find a solution everywhere but I didn’t find anything.
I’m creating a project Air for iOS with Flash CS5 and Flash CS6. I need to find somebody that know how to upload a web page inside an app.
I try to explain better. There is yet a task for upload an html link, but it just work in a new browser window. In this way, every time I want to see a web page, the app will be close. Is it possible to import all the web page inside the Air for ios project, and not in an external window?
I'd like the result is like this:
Thanks a lot.hi....
i used StageWebView class and i wrote this code:
var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, this.stage.stageWidth, this .stage.stageHeight);
webView.stage = this.stage;
webView.loadURL( "http://www.adobe.com" );
The web page opens correctly without using the browser but it opens into all project's frames.
Is it possible to open the web page only in the frame one (for example) ????
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
How to make a selection rectangle with draggable handles
Hi,
I'm trying to write a program to visualize large trees in java. The idea is to have a thumbnail view of the tree with a movable selection rectangle that can be used to focus on certain parts of the tree. Parts inside the rectangle will be displayed in greater detail in another view.
I was wondering if there are any libraries available for making this kind of selection rectangle in Java2D (it'd also be nice to have 8 handles for changing the size of the rectangle) or if anyone has any implementation ideas. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
