Quick iPhone packager question...

Hello,
I am interested in purchasing Flash CS5 so I can make an iPhone app that involves PDF opening and saving, but I had a question to all those who have used AlivePDF... would it work with the packager for iphone to make an iPhone app?
If not...
With the rescources Flash CS5 has with Air 2...would I be able to open a PDF, draw on it, then save it to the iPhones desktop? Or would that just be an AlivePDF thing? If AlivePDF doesn't work with the iPhone packager, is there any way I could handle opening/saving PDF's with anything else?
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Hi mightybot,
I checked with Thibaut, and he indicated AlivePDF should work with AIR 2 mobile profile and the Packager for iPhone.  Let us know your results!

  • Quick iPhone 5 question

    My wife has an iPhone 5.  However, she does not have a car charger for it and situations have arrisen that she is needing to be on the road a lot the next couple of weeks. 
    I want to purchase online a car charger for her phone and let her pick it up at a Best Buy that is in a city along her route.
    I realize that recently that Apple changed the charging system for new iPhones.  I see things like lightning.  When I got to Best Buys web site this morning and go to Apple accessories there is not filter for car chargers.  and most of what seems to be for sale are simply the plug in with USB outlets.
    Can she simply use any car outlet with any USB outlet and simply plug in her Lightning cable?
    I have never looked to closly at it. but is Apple now using Mini USB
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Actually Apple everything above the iPhone 4s, including the 5 and 6, will use lightning not micro USB. That said most use car chargers will be able to charge an iPhone. I would say all but there may be one or two that don't, though I never came across one that doesn't.
    If you do place the order please remember to put your wife in your Friends and Family pick-up list or she would not be able to pick it up. As her name and ID has to match a name on the order. 
    I work for Best Buy as a mobile sales associate but all my comments, posts and opinions are my own and do not in anyway reflect Best Buy.

  • Newbie to iPhone packager

    I am using Flash CS5 with the current iPhone packager, to take an existing project that i made for AIR for android. Two issues..  One, i know that the publishing time for iPhone in flash is quite slow, as i did a test run with a completely empty fla and it took a minute or two.  But when i went to publish my project after i imported all my classes and such, it went on for 6 hours with out ever completing.  I checked my task manager and it did NOT say that flash was not responding.. but when i hit cancel, flash crashed. 
    The other problem is that when i did a test (ctrl+enter) i got a bunch of errors from one of the classes i have been using.  These errors only happen with the project set to iPhone and not in any other project setting.. the class is below with the lines that caused the errors commented out..

    I have started going through my code on the main fla line by line in an effort to try and figure out what is actually causing my fla to freeze when publishing..
    the problem seems to happen when i ad this line of code:
    var myScanner:FaceDetector_Camera=new FaceDetector_Camera();
    mind you, if i comment out that line and still leave the line that imports the FaceDetector_Camera class it publishes relatively quickly, but as soon as i ad the line mentioned above we fail.. any ideas?

  • IPhone Packager, weight and start up performance

    Hi All
    I have a question about the Iphone packager, but first i can describe my main project structure.
    project-api ( only interface ) - swc - 32ko
    project-core ( implementation ) - swc - 825ko
    project-flex-app - swf - 2.000 ko
    project-mobile-core ( implementation of project api for mobile device ) - swc - 99ko
    project-mobile-app - swf size - 2.800 Ko
    project-mobile-app - IPA - 12.390 Ko
    Note that there is a lot of other dependencies such as springactionscript, crytoUtils etc...
    Im actually using flashbuider 4.5, flex 4.5.0
    So the problem is, my IPA weight 12 Mo. Once the application is deployed on the phone, it weights 30 Mo
    If i take a look at the mysizereport.xml ( with -size-report=mysizereport.xml compiler option )
    swf             2.804.641
    ActionScript          2.329.103
    Fonts                     70.516
    Sprite                      9.022
    Shape                     41.981
    Bitmpas                    306.477
    Data                      19.035
    frame data                 27.001
    So im asking why IPA is so huge, why my application take 18 seconds to start, and what can i do for
    reduce size and start time. Is IPP include all as class in the IPA ?
    Note: once the application is started, performance are good.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi All
    Im also having performance issues when launching an as3 app (1.2mb apk), but on android (havnt tried iphone yet).
    I dont have an answer but a few observations.
    1) Install app onto mobile using adb install myapp.apk . Launching initially on android the app takes 18 seconds ish to load. App plays fine. Now kill/ close the app. Relaunch the app. The app now launches in 2 seconds...
    2) Relaunch the app several times and it loads in 2 seconds each time.
    3) Turn off the mobile device for a few minutes. Switch back on. Launch app, app loads in 2 seconds.
    4) Delete/ remove app from mobile device. Reinstall using adb install myapp.apk. Launching takes 18 seconds. Kill the app. Relaunching takes 2 seconds...
    Like i say, no answers here but just a few observations...all i can assume from this is that as3 apps are very slow to run on initially, typically 18 seconds, but run fine ever after....??
    Why is the app so slow to launch initially? If anyone has any thoughts on any of the above id be very interested to hear them.
    Thanks in advance

  • Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

    Quick SAP Script question
    I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
    I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
    Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
    i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

    Hi,
    To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
    so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
    if &condition& = 'True'
    /*  NEW-PAGE
    elseif
    /: NEW-PAGE   
    endif
    so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
    Hope you got it...
    Try this..
    Best luck..

  • Air 2.7 and MacOs Lion: iPhone packager does not work

    hi. After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion the iPhone packager does not work. It throws an error concerning the Application Version Number. Is this a Know bug? Is there a work- around?  Thanks.  Michael.

    Yeah sorry, the start of my descriptor looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">
      <id></id>
      <versionNumber></versionNumber>
      <filename>d</filename>
      <description/>
      <name></name>
    When I go to compile the app the compiler inserts that line into my descriptor at the very bottom (just before the application tag closes). It's weird, I tried setting the <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7"> back to 2.6 and it works and seems to compile in 2.7 (as I noticed the timer bug).
    Anyway, I only tried 2.7 because I heard the GPU fullscreen bug had been fixed, but given that the timer issue still remains I'll go back to 2.6 for the time being.
    Thanks

  • How big is the Adobe team for developing the iphone packager?

    How many active full time developers are working on the iPhone packager at Adobe currently? I'm a bit curious since it would help me get a realistic idea how long it will take for new versions of the packager might come out. This is not to be taken as criticism (I realize the product is still in beta).

    Steve,
    I printed out the table of contents and the sample chapter using 100%. The print is too small for me to read. The first page looks great - comfortable to read, but this is 14.00 X 10.00 iinches. The next pages came out of the printer at 7.00 X 10.00 inches. I'd need a magnifying glass for this. Too bad. I know I'd learn a great deal from your book.
    Last month I got Photoshop Elements 11 for Dummies. The print size is perfect even under the graphics. And with this book there is none of that gratuitous humor that you often see in the Dummies books.
    I should  probably start a separate thread for this but perhaps you could give me a short answer. If you do a video that requiers a teleprompter, what kind do you use? I'm going to make three minutes videos for my websites and perhaps for Facebook in both English and Spanish. Even though my clips will be 250 words or less, it's hard for me to deliver the Spanish from memory. But I hate to pay over $600 for a teleprompter. Do you have any suggestions for a penny-pincher?

  • IPhone Packager File Size

    I just experimented with the new cs5 iPhone packager and noticed that although my little test app just had some movable text the app file size was already 5mb.  Can any explain this to me?  Am I missing out on some way to reduce the file size.  I am just wondering what will happen if I have actual app assets in there as well.

    using class files won't decrease file size substantially.
    i've published about 20 ipad apps and the ipa file size is pretty close to the sum of the swf + loaded assets size IF you're loading significant assets.  otherwise, an ipa file with almost no assets will be about 3.5mb.
    that said, why do you care how large the ipa file is (as long as it installs)?

  • Importing Flex project into Flash CS5 for use with iPhone packager? Please Help.

    Hi all,
    I have been developing an application in Flex builder for the iPhone using the iPhone packager, where I've been using the Flex framework.
    Now I'm stuck at trying to use my existing libraries in Flash. It seems I can't add the UI components I used in Flex (class VideoExample) to the default Flash container. I need someone's help who has experience with that.
    I have created a .SWC file, but when I'm trying to add the container in Flash using addChild(new VideoExample) it doesn't work. I can't load the .SWF externally using loader.load() at runtime, because the application is for iPhone. Any solutions how could I import the project to Flash?
    I was thinking about changing the UI components classes from mx.* to fl.*, but I would have to change many code and I'm not sure if it would even work, and I don't want to loose compatibility with mxml.
    Please respond, help would be very much appreciated!
    Here's my mxml wrapper, from which I start the main application:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="EntryPoint.main()">
    </mx:Application>
    Then I have a class which creates the main container:
    package {
    import mx.core.*;
    public class EntryPoint {
        public static function main():void {
            var client:VideoExample = new VideoExample();
            var mxmlApp:Application = Application(Application.application);
            mxmlApp.addChild(client);
    Here is the main class VideoExample:
    package {
    import mx.controls.*;
    import mx.containers.*;
    public class VideoExample extends Canvas {
        public function VideoExample() {
            super();
            init();
            private function init():void {
            loadImage();
            loadText();
                    loadDisplay();
                    startConnection();

  • I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

    I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on.  To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter.  That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin.  If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password.  That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

  • Where can I find the quick install package for EBS extensions for Endeca?

    I want to install EBS extension for Oracle Endeca 12.1.3.4.
    Where can I find the quick install package in the edelivery.oracle.com site? Which Product Pack should I select in the site?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.

  • When the update for iPhone Packager will be available??

    Anybody has any idea, when the new update will be available of iPhone packager? Does new update will be able to interact with the iPhone OS to load the images from the Camera Roll, if internet connection is available, message notification, badges etc...

    I think the iPad 2 is great news for us.  The amount of apps make with Flash that are on the store have proved that it can work.  We just hit a bit of a performance wall currently.  Now that the iPad 2 is dual core however we should be bale to expect much better performance.  Of course true Objective C programming will always be more efficient but my point is that soon the quality difference between Objective C and the ios packager is going to be more transparent.
    My only hope is that this doesn't discourage people from continusing to optimize their code.  The one thing that has plagued Flash over the years has been sloppy code which I myself am partially guilty for I guess.  The ios packager has forced many of us to learn the proper way of doing things.
    Of course we have awhile before we can expect a perfect world.  There are a lot of iPad 1's out there yet and it will be a few years before we can target only the iPad 2.
    Finally I would love to see the ios packager expanded on.  I think what Adobe is doing has been a good start.  Of course we did hit that 6 month roadblock but now that we are back on track I hope to see the packager expanded to support more ios features.

  • Is it really true that we can't update from iPhone packager to 2.6?

    Hi,
    My understanding is that once we have build an app in Iphone Packager we are never able to upgrade to air 2.6...
    http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1623/_index.html
    Can anyone confirm that there really is no way to do this? Apple suggests that we have to replace our apps under a different name!?!
    I can't help but feeling a bit sad about this. Surely I can't ask all my clients to redownload the app (and make up a different name for it) just because I can't update to Air 2.6??
    Anyone has any ideas about this?

    AIR 2.6 apps won't run on the older devices, and one of the rules with the App Store is that you can't remove devices from the list that the app supports. The instructions on that page are slightly confusing, in that it suggests to remove the old app and then upload the new one with a new App ID, implying that it would be the same name, but then it also says that if you delete an app from the store you're not allowed to use the same name again.
    If you did manage to replace the current app with an AIR 2.6 one without your users having to pay again, you would still then have the problem that customers with older phones would not be able to get the update anyway. So one way or another you're going to upset some of your customers.
    One option would be to update the app with the old packager purely to present a splash screen telling people about a new version with better performance on later devices. Then some time later put that new version into the store with an introduction price that is very low, and after a few days increase the price to its normal amount, and also update the old app to remove the splash screen.
    You could perhaps call the new version "HD", as it would support Retina display. Doing it that way would still leave you with the ability to do bug fix updates with the old packager for users of the old app.

  • Question about Flash iPhone packager

    So since Apple now allows it, Adobe picked up development for it again I heard. My question is, additionally to the possibility of creating iPhone apps from scratch I heard there is a packager that allows you to wrap up Actionscript 3 projects as an iPhone app. I didn't get too many infos about it on google since its mostly the same kind of news turning up.
    Can you use a previously made Actionscript 3 game or do you have to start a new one and make it with the iPhone in mind? If you can use a previously made project how do you customize it for the touch controls? Does the packager change it into a file useable in Flash again to add these features? I'm totally clueless about the possibilities and it would be great if someone could tell me.
    Is it really that I can make an already made as3 game iPhone compatible as long as I have an Apple developer subscription? Or is it limited to simple apps?
    Would love for someone to elaborate this. Thanks

    }i have place both A.java, B.java in a folder name myPackage, compiled them (worked fine) but doesnt run. :( pls advise what should i do. Thank you

    your probably trying to run this from the wrong place.
    assuming you have a directory structure like myjavaproject/src/
    your files should be in .../src/myproject
    and to run them, from your src directory, type java myjavaproject.A
