Some questions to Flex Mobile
Hey there,
does Flex Mobile / Flash Builder 4.5.x supports this things to Apps on iOS & Android?
- Sound/Musicplayback
- Videoplayback
- SQL on a dedicated server
- Send an eMail from the App
- use the native keyboard of the device (such as iOS)
Thank you!
- bb
Yes to all except the email... I don't think you can even do that in a native iOS app... I could be wrong though. The best you can do is navigate to a mailto: link to initiate the native mail support on the device.

Some question about flex and facebook, and saving server work!
Hi guys im starting to develop facebook application and im not surre what is the better way to connect my app to facebook.
first option is to pull all the data from facebook through PHP and then send it to the app. or getting the data directly to my app through actionscript.
what is the better option? the first option takes more server work, is that something to consider or its irrelevant to small-medium apps?
another thing , does PHP integrets better whit facebok than actionscript? does the APIs of PHP and ActionScript are the same??
what would u say is better??
10x ahead, and sry if this is not the right forum!imm there is a tuttorial

Flex mobile 4.6 app works inside flash builder but not in android emulator
Originally posted on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8663892/flex-mobile-4-6-app-works-inside-flash-builder- but-not-in-android-emulator
I have a basic flex mobile 4.6 app and it works fully fine in the flash builder built-in emulator using an android device profile like aria...
It also launches fine in the android emulator but one particular view shows blank (and this view works fine in flash builder).
Before I get in to many details of the view are there any categorical gotchas that can be causing this?
I can't seem to get the trace statements from the app to show in 'adb logcat'. It seems I need to compile a debug version of the apk but I don't know how to do this. I use the 'Export Release Build' from the Project menu in flash builder and it doesn't seem to have an option for debug=true.
The problematic/blank view basically uses the stagewebview and iotashan's oauth library to call linkedin rest apis... A different (and working) view can make restful web service calls in the emulator fine, so it doesn't seem to be an internet permission.
The source code contained in the problematic/blank view is almost identical to the tutorial found at:http://www.riagora.com/2011/01/air-and-linkedin/
The differences are: a) The root tag is a View b) I use StageWebView instead of HtmlContainer c) I use my own linkedin key and tokens.
I would appreciate it if someone can provide me with some pointers on how to troubleshoot this situation. Perhaps someone can tell me how to debug the app while running in the emulator (I think I need the correct adt command arguments for this which matches the 'Export Release Build' menu but adds the debug param?)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Comment Added:
I suspect that this has to do with connections to https:// api.linkedin.com and https:// www.linkedin.com. The only reason I can think of that the same code is not having issues inside of Flex Builder but indeed having issues in the Android emulator is something to do with certificates. Any ideas?Thanks er453r,
I have created a project that clearly reproduces the bug. Here are the steps:
1) Create a UrlLoader and point it to https://www.google.com (HTTPS is important because http works but HTTPS does not)
2) Load it
3) Run in Flash Builder 4.6/Air 3.1 and then run in Android emulator. The former works with an http status 200. The latter gives you an ioerror 2032. I am assuming what works in Flash Builder is supposed to work in the Android Emulator and what what works in the emulator is supposed to work in a physical device (plus or minus boundary conditions).
I see a certificate exception in adb logcat but not sure if it's related...
Here is the self contained View code which works with a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication:

Flex Mobile - Moving up for keyboard
Not sure if this is where i should post this question about Flex Mobile, but don't see any forums for Flex Mobile.
My question should be simple enough. I create a Android app and it works perfect. About ready to put it in the market, but one odd thing I can't find on google is how to move the app (or at least the onFocus TextInput) up so the phone's keyboard doesn't cover it.
Does anyone know what event (if any) is fired off when the phones keyboard is summoned and how to keep your text area above it.
Thanks!
Also..where can I find the new api info on things like using the phone's camera, gps, accelerometer,etc?maybe http://swfhead.com/blog/?p=904 will be helpful

Application Type: Flex Mobile Application
Target Platform: iPad
AIR Version: 4.0
Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6
I want to run some code just before iphone application goes into background. I need function similar to didEnterBackground
of native xcode app
(https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegat e_Protocol/Reference/Reference.h
tml#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/applicationDidEnterBackground:)
I tried using devactivated function of flash.display.STAGE.
I used following addEventListener:
STAGE = this.parent.stage;
STAGE.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onAppDeactivated);
It worked for me but only when device is connected to development environment in debug mode. When I create my release build
it is not working.
So how can I make sure that my code runs before application goes into background.Even I am facing almost same issue

Mobile Video Editing on the Macbook Pro 13'' - Some questions...
This is my first time visiting this forum, and I just wanted to get some thoughts on a mobile video editing setup I am looking to create... Here's what I'd like to do:
- Use a Macbook Pro 13'' as my primary editing machine using Final Cut Studio for relatively small, but important projects.
- I want to be able to edit as speedily as possible, but on a moderate budget. I know that keeping FCS on the MBP's main HD and editing video on an external drive is the best way to go. Also, because the fastest interface option on a MBP is Firewire 800, I am thinking of using a G-Raid Mini 500GB drive in Raid 0 for both maximum speed and portability. But I also want to be able to easily backup any video edited on the external drive. I am weary of the fact that MBP only has 1 Firewire port (and in this scenario, I need to connect a G-Raid drive, a DV camera, and yet another external drive for backing up the G-Raid Mini)
Oh what a pain.
First, something I can't seem to find out is... if I want to load video to the G-Raid drive, I'm going to have to daisy chain my DV camera to it. If the DV camera is Firewire 400, will this lower the Firewire 800's port on the MBP down to 400 as well, thus kind of crippling the idea of speedy Raid 0?
And second, assuming I can hook up both the G-Raid and the DV camera to the Firewire 800 port without degrading speed... what would the best way be to go for backing up the G-Raid? I am thinking of using a USB 2.0 500GB drive, and using some sort of backup automation software. Any suggestions there?
What I'm looking for is mobility, functionality, secure backup for everything I shoot. I should have gone for a MBP 17'' with a Express slot, which would solve these potential issues... but again, I'm on a budget - and can't break the bank on this right now.
Any responses or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
ZacThanks for the response.
But a couple things... the reason I'm going with the 13'' is purely out of circumstance. I have a friend who just didn't want it anymore, and is selling it to me insanely cheap. Also, I already have extra monitors
I think what I am going to do is this:
G-RAID 500GB running in Raid-0 connected to the FW800 port. From there, when I need to capture, I will daisy chain the DVX-100 to the G-RAID... which will cut the FW down 400 from what I have read. After my video is captured, I will disconnect the DVX100, so I can get the FW800 G-RAID back up to proper speed during actual editing. When I want to do backups, I will connect a regular 500GB G-DRIVE and run a clone of the G-RAID everynight after I finish editing.
This solves a few problems, but it doesn't solve the issue of an external TV for native viewing while editing. Personally, I don't think I will always need this, but my DVX100 does do passthrough. (anytime I do it though, it will bump my FW speed back down to 400) So I can either do that, or I can look into S-Video USB options (which I haven't researched yet)
It won't be the most ideal setup in the world, but it seems like a lot of people with these newer Macbook Pro's are suffering the same kinds of issues. Hopefully I will manage.
If anyone has any further suggestions, please let me know. Anyone else with a Macbook Pro 13''? What kind of mobile setups have you come up with?

Is there a way to save data to just one view in Flex Mobile applications?
I am having trouble handling data between views in a Flex Mobile application that I am writing. I know how to pass data from one view to another, but I was wondering if there is a way to save that data to a view, then get more data from another view (in this case it would be the same view that the original data came from) and put that data on the same view without overwriting the original data. I would be glad to post some code if anyone needs to see it.
I think we realise that this is the same question as the other thread.

Adobe Flex Mobile + AIR - Custom iOS Build Setting
I am building some Adobe Flex Mobile application using Flex 4.6.0 + AIR 3.5 only for iOS
This app involves some iOS Native Extension created also by me.
The thing is that this ANE uses some third party framework (GD.framework from Good Dynamics Technology). That framework requires GD FIPS linker to be used, and for that, i need to set some custom build settings in a .xcconfig file, with this content:
FIPS_PACKAGE=$(CURRENT_ARCH).sdk LDPLUSPLUS=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld LD=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld
The ANE compiles OK, but then, I add the ANE to the app, I compile the app, but when I launch the app, it crashes because the FIPS linker was not properly got set on my Flex Mobile project.
So, my question is:
Is there a way to set the above configuration on my project like somebody would do in a Xcode project?
Regards!I see your key as a reserved key for iOS. I haven't tested it myself but here's the keys you cannot change. Sure enough, MinimumOSVersion is reserved.

I have started to work on mobile development using Flex 4.5 recently.
But basically I need some clarifications on Flex 4.5 mobile development.
1. What kind of mobile development can we do in Flex 4.5 SKD ?
2. What kind of mobile apps can we build using Flex 4.5 SDK ? (I mean just basic apps or some complex apps like requesting servers and displaying some charts and graphs, playing videos and image gallery on the devices etc...)
3. What is the difference in developing mobile apps using Flex 4.5 SDK and Platform based SDK's (like Android SDK for android or iOS SDK for apple or Blackberry SDK for balckberry) ?
These are the basic questions I have right now...
Can somebody answer these questions ?m*a*s*h* - you seem to be a very knowledgable and educated gentleman - do you know by any chance if we can write a video app for ios using FB4.5 yet? I am using the actionscript netStream/video classes and a uicContainer etc.
I am not sure if I am unsuccessful because it is impossible, or because I am doing someting wrong - and I can't see the answer anywhere yet.
Information much appreciated,

Flex Mobile - PDF not displaying error - "Adobe Reader not found"
Hi everyone,
Is viewing PDF documents supported in Flex Mobile projects? At the moment, I get an error saying:
"Adobe Reader not found"
I am converting my Adobe Air Desktop project to a Mobile project with Flashbuilder 4.5.1. Any documentation reference on how to get PDF's to view on Flex Mobile applications would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset" is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb) is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken. -
Windowed Application for Flex Mobile Project
I have a project intended for both deskotp and mobile, and so I began it as a Flex Mobile project. I then imported the source into a Flex Air project and everything has been working great--until I added cut and paste functionality using the NativeApplication/NativeWindow model. On a Mac, because there is a default set of menus, this works just fine, but on a pc, the menu is not present unless you define it. My top level class is a ViewNavigatorApplication, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my NativeWindow NativeMenu built. I have tried plugging code into creationComplete, initialize, preinitialize, but nothing works. I also tried putting a WindowedApplication around the ViewNavigatorApplication, but that too failed.
So is there a way to make this work? While menu support would be nice, I would settle for just shortcut key support.
Thanks in advance,
AdrianUmm, overall it's doable but you may come up against two or three hurdles:
The program may have to run for hoursThat may require keeping the phone handset connected to a charger, especially if the display backlight is configured to be on continuously.
a sample rate of 20Hz from the sensor.You'll have to cross that bridge when you get there, but I suspect that many handsets won't be able to handle receiving, processing and displaying of data every 50 ms.
log the data and produce simple statistics from a session.Keeping all data in memory probably won't be feasible; writing it to the record store may make the program still slower, further limiting the sampling frequency that can be handled.

Flex Mobile Project UI Templates?
I'd love to find some flex mobile templates to use in flash builder that already have the platform of many of the functional UI elements in them. I feel this would be a great springboard to learn more through examining pre-built projects as a means to get started with designing my own iPhone apps. Are there sites available where I can purchase such templates? What kind of file extensions am I looking for ui templates that would plug into flex mobile in flash builder? If they are free that is great too, though I don't mind paying for good quality app templates and would appreciate suggestions of sites/services that offer this.
Thanks,
ScottI did come across scalenine.com/gallery which seems to offer flex themes and skins. Are there other alternatives or similar sites that are available for this purpose of offering project templates to start with for flex mobile?

Flex mobile project: web root and root path for a remote web service?
Hi all,
i'm trying to set up the testdrive tutorial for flex mobile project, with flash builder 4.5
and php data.
I've uploaded the files on my remote web space (e.g. http://mywebsite.org, and the
test file is http://mywebsite.org/TestDrive/test/test.php... and it works
correctly)... But when i'm setting properties of the project, i don't know what
to write into the web root and root path fields... I thing root path is simply
http://mywebsite.org... and whatever i write in the other fields (output folder
too) i have errors when i click on "validate configuration"...
What should i put into those fields? is zend framework (and gateway.php)
strictly necessary?
As you can see... i'm a bit confused....
Many thanks for any help

Flex mobile project as a library for Objective-c project?
We have a objective-c app for ios already,
now we have to add a rtmp based feature(I write that with a flex mobile project).
is there any way to compile the flex mobile project as a objective-c library ,so that the objective-c developer can make that work on ios device?
Please help me ,Thanks!Usually, people include the objective-c libraries in their AIR applications, using native extensions. However, if you just want rtmp streaming in your native iOS app using flash and not the UI, you may want to use the AV Foundation framework, instead of a flex mobile project.
You may find some useful information and links in this article to achieve it: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/streaming-video-ios.html -
How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?
Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:
