Showcase cross platform air and flash game

Just wanted to show off a game I (& teammates at gogogic) have been working on for a while and is finally out on both ipad and web on shared codepage in one shard persistant world.
It uses adobe Air and flash (although no-stage 3d), (current ipad version built on Air 3.7 with Flex.
Scout was an absolute life saver in squesing more perfomance out of the ipad (and as a side effect web as well)

Adobe Air and Flash: Safe or Unsafe?

Adobe Air and Flash-- I use PoserPro2014, and it makes use of Adobe Air to run the Library. I'm getting requests to update the Air component. The tutorials use Flash. I get messages that the Flash "is out of date" and can't watch the tutorials. I
I'm running 10.9.4. My concern is about how Air and Flash may cause problems for my computer. Are the latest versions of Air and Flash safe to upgrade to?

Flash and Java are the two top vectors for malware on any computer. It is imperative that you keep Flash updated to the latest version at all times. As for your concern about problems by updating Air or Flash the prudent thing to do is to create a bootable clone of your working system using a well known cloning app such as Super Duper. Create the bootable clone on a freshly formatted, external hard drive, then boot from that clone, update Flash and Air on that clone to the latest version, then test to see if you have problems with your PoserPro software. If all is well then restart from your normal boot drive and update.
I note that PoserPro is a product of Smith Micro Software, Inc. This company has a very bad reputation regarding OS X compatibility, timely updates, and responses to customer service issues.

Adobe Air and Flash Future on Desktop and Mobile Devices

Hello,
iam interested to develop for mobil and desktop devices with AS3 and Flash Professional and i have any question.
I see also many benefits to develop in flash as in java because javas gui development is based on swing a old java graphics engine.
Next reason is the plattform like Linux,Windows,IOS.,the Game Development and other stuff.
With Flash i can create nextgen interactive stunning cool gui interfaces for apps.
I dont know why flash sucks for the market and devices.
My question: is as3 and flash save for the future ?
Make it really sense to learn as3 and Flash ?
I have read many blogs,threads on adobe and other forums year 2012 Adobe stop flash development,
and now 2013 google androids kitkat now have removed api features that kills complete flash !!!
Other comments says Flash is dead for the market!? Many frustradet flash developers he work 10 years and more with flash are crying.
So what is really the Future for the A3 and Flash Development ?
Thanks and greetings

Hi mc_gfx,
> You think i can get started with flash and air development without worries?
Software development always involves risk, so you can't really do much without worries.       AIR in particular is a cutting (bleading?) edge technology. Adobe is attempting to solve a difficult problem with limited resources, and the results aren't always ideal.
If you want to deploy to Android and iOS, and you write two native apps, you face a 100% risk that you'll have to write your app twice. While this may not take twice as long as writing it once, it will come close.
If you use AIR, you only have to write your app once, but you face other risks.
Here's the problem. In AIR, Adobe is attempting to create a framework that translates ActionScript into bytecode for two different platforms. This isn't easy. Every time Apple or Google upgrades their operating system Adobe has to try to refine AIR so that it translates everything correctly for the new OS. AIR also has to maintain backward compatability with all previous OSs (is that the plural of OS?). AIR also has to work with many different models of Android and iOS devices. This includes supporting most, though not all, of the many different capabilities that these OSs support. Adobe, wisely, doesn't try to support every new feature immediately. Instead, it picks and chooses which new features it will support, and how soon. But even taking this approach I have the impression that their task is daunting.
If you research this forum you'll find numerous examples of people complaining about features that don't quite work correctly. For example, I've put ~6 developer months into developing a language learning app, only to find that AIR's MP3 playback support has some limitations which severely impact the playback of voice recordings, which severely degrades the value of my app. I'm hoping that Adobe will fix this bug, but it's been two months now, with no movement. Another serious bug, involving audio recording using the device microphone, took three months to get fixed. During that period I had no idea whether it would get fixed, or whether I'd have to disable an important feature of my app on iOS.
So, you want "without worries"?
Some people are lobbying Adobe to include support for Windows Phone in the AIR framework. IMHO, this is madness. Adobe clearly has limited resources. Let them first focus on making basic features like MP3 playback work properly on the platforms that they already support.
The same issues probably apply to all the other cross-platform development frameworks - Sencha, Xamarin, etc. They face the same difficult technical challenges. I can't speak to the question of how well they're addressing them, but I'd want research them carefully before I invested a lot of time into developing with them.
With regards to AIR, here's my advice: Before you start a non-trivial project using AIR, make a list of all the things that your app will do, then see if you can find existing apps created with AIR that do these things. Make sure that the feature works on both Android and iOS. You won't be able to test on every device that you'd like to support, but pick a few and test on them.
You don't need to worry about your app's logic - ActionScript is great for that - and AIR translates it just fine. But think carefully about your app's 'skin' - all the ways that you want it to interact with the outside world - input and output - and confirm that apps exist that demonstrate that AIR can handle these features. Also think about the app's infrastructure - network interactions - database interactions - etc.
You'll probably end up with a list of features that you haven't been able to confirm. You can vet these by creating a proof of concept that confirms that AIR will support these needs. Do this before you start developing the full app. Once that's done, pray that everything that works now will continue to work with future OSs and devices. Adobe has a pretty good record on this sort of things, but there aren't any guarantees.
Don't worry, be happy        ?

Online Java and Flash Games

I have had this problem forever and I'd love to know if there's a solution.
On Safari, Firefox, and Opera I simply cannot play online games.
Flash games run disgustingly slow on all three web browsers, but still function. Java games, however, simply crash. An example is Pogo's online java games - the chat applet will load, the game will load and instantly crash upon completion. It closes the pop-up window, though the rest of the browser pages/tabs are fine. I'd really like to know if there is a solution, I already repaired my disk permissions, rebooted, etc etc. Note: Websites created entirely in Flash function perfectly fine, though they lag a bit.
I'm on a 1 GHz PowerBook G4 with 1 MB L3 cache and 768 MB SDRAM, on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Interesting fix. Being new to Macs I am not sure how that happened to you. I checked my Safari's info and Open with Rosetta was already unchecked. It's not that I cannot completely play Java games on Pogo, but if the game window does not crash, the game table will be blank and the chat text area will be shown, or the chat text area will be blank while the game table shows up.
It is frustrating. Still, I think it is more to do with the developers and web designers than with our out of the box settings. In comparison, the majority of Windows PC's can play games on Pogo, Yahoo, MSN, etc., without much more than downloading and install ActiveX.
If a Windows PC and a Mac both have the same version of Java installed, and all required platform updates are installed, respectively, what common sense reasoning would be behind the conflict that either platform would have with interacting with a Java based online gaming site?
The coders do not write for the lesser number of site traffic. Hard to swallow, but it is my honest opinion. Still, I gave up frustrations I could count on when I shut down my PC for the last time and I do not intend to allow a lack of gaming to get me down as a new Mac user.

Updated to 7.7 - now youtube and flash games won't work

I upgraded to 7.7 a while back and ever since then I can't get youtube videos to load or play flash games online though safari. Any idea what could be causing this problem. Please let me know!

whats the format on the external HD?
verify same on another Mac, its likely a dead SATA card inside the external enclosure.
One assumes you arent referring to a 2012 Air with a Toshiba SSD, since the Air contains no hard drives, only a SSD.
2013 Air use Sandisk or Samsung SSD.

Youtube and flash games work, but other sites that use flash don't work

Hi-
I'm currently using Firefox 18.0.2 on 2 different computers (Both Win7 64 bit), both with flash 11.6.602.168. Both have roughly the same programs installed and the same browser configuration. However, on one machine, flash works only on some sites. For instance, Youtube works perfectly, as do dedicated flash games. However, sites that use embedded flash applications fail to work. For instance, if I visit www.speedtest.net, where the test options normally appear is completely blank. Similarly, other video players fail. For example, videos in www.cbsnews.com play sound, but where the video should be is just white. I've tried completely uninstalling both firefox as well as flash, and installing previous versions, nothing has worked.

I guess it is a process of elimination, what is different ?
I would first of all check and experiment with Adobe FlashPlayer protected mode setting.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
Also have you any filtering, adblock or security related programs installed which may block video or scripts. With you-tube check is it actually using Flash player,and not trying to use any HTML5 options so check any options and cookies.

Adobe AIR and Flash

Hello,
I am pretty new to Adobe AIR.
I have a problem; I have been reading the Adobe Documentation and it is shown that Flash Media Server supports html packages, via a package flash.html.*
However, It is mentioned that it is AIR supported.
I did not understand this.
And also i couldnt find any package as such while writing the code in Flash CS3.
Can someone please throw some light on this and how do i get started with it?
Thanks

Samsung - Flash Air and Flash Player will no longer be supported from February 4, 2014 ?

What are peoples thoughts on this?
We have been alerted that Adobe will no longer continue to support Flash on Samsung Smart TVs and BluRay players. As a result, Flash engines will not be supported in 2015 Samsung products. Going forward, Flash-related features will be excluded from SDKs released. Although Flash engines will remain to be equipped on existing Samsung products, including 2014 models, there will be no technical support from either Samsung or Adobe. Accordingly, any applications developed with Flash Air or Flash Player will no longer be acceptable. Samsung recommends using either HTML 5 or Javascript based applications if the application in question is Flash-based. Beginning on February 4, 2014, any Flash-based application, including any updated versions of such will not be acceptable for submission.

Not being able to deploy Adobe Air in Samsung devices is a huuuuuge kick in the teeth suley?

I'm not an Adobe or Samsung expert, but it seems to me that...
on Samsung Smart TVs and BluRay players
..is not the same as (all) "Samsung Devices".

Flash Platform / Air and Nintendo ?

There's lots of great thing happening with the Flash / Air for devices and TV.
Can anyone let us know if Adobe are working with Nintendo on the Wii and DS ?
These are great platforms - better suited to Flash content that many others. I know Flash 8 ( AS2) content can work on the Wii but that's history.
I quote:
Adobe will continue to work with key industry partners, including Google, RIM, Nokia, Motorola and Palm/HP . . . .

AIR applications are desktop applications and are not supposed to be integrated in websites. You can however embed Flash animations generated from Flash CS6 in Muse.

About installing adobe air and flash player

How do I get the adobe flash player and air on my Iphone 5C from a public computer//

You don't need AIR runtime on iOS; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air-on-ios-faq.html#b

Android with Air and Flash

I just installed Adobe AIR on Windows 7.
As I start Flash I see a bunch of options under the tab "Create New".
If I'm correct their should be an option called "Android".
This is not the case..
I do see Adobe AIR 2 and Iphone OS as available options.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Canyou help me with my problem, i want to do a guitar app with a multitouch button but i don't know how because i'm a beginner in AS3.
i'm doing this for my project. Can you give me a sample code for multitouch button please.. Thank you very much!

Developing for both AIR and Flash Player

I'm developing an application that will be deployed on the desktop as well as the net, so I've got a number of interfaces at points of differentiation (such as file access) where I can swap between the different implementations using the following technique:
switch(Capabilities.playerType) {
     case "Desktop":
          fileAccessInterface = new AIRFileAccess();
          break;
     default:
          fileAccessInterface = new NetFileAccess();
          break;
This works fine, especially when compiling for AIR, however, when publishing for the Flash Player, I'm still importing the AIR implementations of every interface even though they'll be unused. And of course, when I try to import an AIR-specific class (such as File, FileStream, etc.) when compiling for the Flash Player, Flash will give me an error:
"1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: FileStream."
This is obviously what you would expect to happen because it's an AIR-specific class. My question is, is there a way I can define a conditional import (such as pragma comments in other languages) depending on compile conditions? Or will I be forced to comment out all my import code for AIR-specific classes when compiling for Flash Player, and then uncomment again for AIR, etc.?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Problem solved.
I found the config constants section of the ActionScript settings to allow for conditional compiling. Exactly what I needed.
