Sound bug CS5.5 & AIR 2.7.1 with small testcase!

Hallo,
this is a serious bug in AIR 2.7.1. As posted in another threat (I opened a new one because of the importance and the testcase) with AIR 2.7.1 suddenly the sound handling of sounds embeded in nested movieclips in the timeline run wild.
This is the old threat:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891766?tstart=0
I coded a small testcase.
Please download the FLA from our server:
http://apps.oetingerverlag.de/Soundbug_AIR_2.7.1.fla.zip
You'll find a scene with a book cover and one button.
If you push the button, an event is dispatched and a movieclip (the pig) is started and the pig makes some piggish noises.
In the background there is a small animation running, the beaver dips his foot into the water.
CASE 1, AIR 2.7:
If you compile this with Flash Pro CS5.5 and AIR 2.7 (overlayed over 2.6, as described by Adobe http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90810.html ) all is well:
If you don't push the button the pig won't move and won't make a sound.
If you push the button the pig is animated and makes a noise, after this the pig is silent again.
CASE 2, AIR 2.7.1:
If you compile it with AIR 2.7.1 overlayed, after a few seconds the pig noises start, even if you don't click the button!
And with every loop of the main animation another instance of the pig noise is started, just wait, sounds kind of funny (well, it would be funny if it wouldn't be such a big problem for us now - we couldn't deploy our three Android-apps, because in the Android Market there is only AIR 2.7.1 as runtime).
So: There is a big problem, and I think some more developers will be affected by it.
Any suggestions?
We could of course delete all sounds on timelines and start the sounds via actionscript 3, but we have three projekts and lots of sounds...

Implemented a workaround:
Case:
a) There is a main MovieClip with the background.
b) in this main MovieClip another MovieClip is placed, with an animated pig and some piggish noise audio
The bug manifests itself, if you use a normal timeline sound configuration like this (this is part of the nested mc with the animated pig):
In frame 2 the sound on the timeline starts. With AIR 2.7.1 this leads to weird sound bugs, the sounds on the timeline are all started, the stop()-comand in the top layer is ignored (but only for the sound, the animation does not run automatically. This is really strange!).
Workaround:
a) load the pig sound via actionscript in the main MovieClip:
var scene2SoundPig:Scene2SoundPig = new Scene2SoundPig(); 
Call the sound directly from the timeline, at the same position:
The code for this (in the blue marked rectangle) is:
MovieClip(parent).scene2SoundPig.play(); 
Now it all works as usual (like it does in 2.7).
One thing to look out for:
The sound in the timeline plays as long as there are frames, this could be e.g. 5 seconds.
The workaround plays your COMPLETE sound, e.g. 10 seconds.
So if your sound is somewhat longer than the portion you played via the timeline, you have to shorten the sound with e.g. SoundBooth.

  • Bug Adobe Air 3.5 Beta with method "drawViewPortToBitmapData"

    Hello,
    I noticed there is a bug with the lastest build of Air 3.5 beta with the method "drawViewPortToBitmapData".
    It resizes the viewport that we want to draw smaller that the original size.
    Can you correct this bug before the release ?
    Thanks,
    Loïc L.

    This was an issue with retina iPad's prior to AIR 3.5  .. I saw this fixed as of AIR 3.5.  Altho it doesnt take a retina screen capture. It captures at 1024 x 768 and scales up to 2048 x 1536

  • Problem with hearing sounds from macbook air, through earphones.

    This happened just recently, my mac won't "send" sounds or music to my iphone earplugs. What to do?

    did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
    Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
      * this occurrence is being looked into.
    Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
    If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
       However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
    Test this and re-verify

  • Audio Bug in AIR on IOS?

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I am developing a Starling/Away3D game for iOS and Android and for the most part it works great. I have run into one problem recently, however. When returning to the Foreground from a resource intensive app, like TempleRun2, the audio is choppy, like it is playing every other frame kind-of thing. I did some testing and it is true for all recent Air apps like Super Hexagon, and Managana.
    Older Air apps, like SnowBomber and CombOverCharlie, seem to work fine in this situation which makes be think that it is a problem with more recent versions of AIR (I am compiling with AIR 3.6.) The only other thing that I can think of is that perhaps it is related to using Stage3D - I know there have been some issues on iOS going to the background and returning.
    If you have a work around I would love to hear it. I know that it is not a CRITICAL bug, but it really sounds like crap, which seriously degrades the overall experience. I have tried manually stopping and starting the audio but it is still choppy. 
    Thanks in advance for your help. Also, thanks for making AIR so awesome on Mobile with Stage 3D. The performance is amazing. I still have a onAir Tour shirt from when Mike Chambers and the guys drove around the continent on a Bus.

    Sorry I didnt think about it needing to print as 3 separate pages at specific points. If you can't get the HTML printing to work then you could keep could this thought in mind. If the height of the, I presume, HTMLLoader object is the right value, you can draw the white-space of the page into the BitmapData and then it might still print at the right location. If it doesn't work immediately and you felt like putting in a little more effort, you might be able to tweak the height of the HTMLLoader objects so that each one represents a single page. Granted this approach would likely only work for one paper size format, such as 8.5x11. Sorry I don't have any easier ideas that work with what you already have done so far

  • I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update

    Dears at Apple:
    I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update on any of my devices(iPhone 4s, iPhone Touch (4th Gen), iPad (3rd Gen). Most of the "Podcasts" I listen to are music content based and wanted to apply sound enhancements(EQ) like before when integrated with ipod function. Can you consider to "fix" this issue?
    Many Thanks!

    OK Emanuel I found a solution! I dowloaded and installed "Denon Audio" app from the iTunes store & it works great! It has an EQ you can set curves on manually or use the (few) built in pre-sets. It is a player like the Music app that comes with the iPhone, etc. but restores the EQ functionality so we can adjust the audio of PODCASTS:-) Until Apple fixes this what I consider a bug I will be using the Denon app as my default music player!

  • Sound cards macbook air

    I am looking at buying the newly released macbook Air for travel.
    I am heavily into audio recording and presently use a MOTU sound card with my home i Mac.
    I was wondering if any one has a specific recommendation for a sound card that is portable yet functional with the new MBAir.
    Your input would definitely be appreciated.
    Thank you
    RJC

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • AIR doesn't terminate with pending web service requests

    I'm using webservices via the wsdl import tool in the Flex
    Builder 3.0.2. So far, I'm able to make requests to the webserver
    and get data from it successfully. The app is basically polling
    data from the server and when the server gets data, it sends it to
    the AIR client. As a Flex app inside the browser, the browser
    terminates fine. However, when I move the app to AIR, adl.exe never
    terminates, even when I call nativeApplication.exit(0), explicitly.
    (I noticed this issue when my machine started to thrash with 10
    adl.exe running simultaneously.)
    Am I not calling exit correctly? Or is this a bug in AIR?

    Whenever I've seen this, I had a window that was not visible
    and for some
    reason (like an error before when I made it visible), it
    never became
    visible and so was not possible to terminate.

  • Webcam bug in Air 3.0

    Hi all,
    it's quite crazy, that this bug: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2951115 made it all the way from Beta to RC1 to final AIR 3.0 without being fixed.
    (It was created end of August, first comment from Adobe was end of September...)
    It is a regression in the webcam parts of AIR 3.0, and we have reproduced it on Windows and OSX with all kinds of webcams and both old video codec and h.264.
    This completely negates the great enhancements h.264 brought to us for video quality by letting the video appear as if it has spasms. 
    So please speed up fixing this bug - since AIR 3.0 has come out, our customers are quite upset after we told them "with AIR 3.0 video quality will get a huge boost"...
    And btw - anyone else experiencing this issue - and might have a workaround?
    best regards,
    mrzottel

    Thank you very much for the update. It's good to hear that it has been fixed - can't wait for the next release then. Do you have any information on when it will be available? No definite date needed, but would it be more like days, weeks or month?
    Our problem is, that we delivered a working product with AIR 2.7 to our customers, and even though many where sceptic that AIR/Flash would be the right platform, we proved them wrong - But we also did announce AIR 3.0 as a major breakthrough in video quality, which it is, no doubt, if it weren't for this bug.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed that the update will be released soon
    best regards,
    mrzottel

  • Need support for resolving a known bug in AIR

    Hi All,
    I want a favour from all of you so that one of the known issue can be resolved from adobe.This issue is reported by me six month back and as it is treated as a lower priority item so this is not being resolved.But it is a high prority item from the end user perspective.
    The issue is related to implementation of behaviour of softkeyboard,when we are using mobile skin in the Textinput,it is not working properly.
    For resolving this you will be require to vote for that issue.Hopefully I will get full support of all of you.
    Please just click on the linke below of the same,and vote to resolve this.

    Thanks in advance,
    with Regards,

    Isn't this issue solely related to Flex or is it really the AIR TextField that is broken?
    Cause if the former applies, I can see that Adobe has no interest in fixing this as Flex is an Apache project now.

  • AIR installer download fails with MacOS

    Hi
    I have put my AIR-installer to my web-server (http://www.prepress.fi/eDocManager_e/update/eDocManager.air)
    It doesn´t work if I just click the link in web-browser. I have to compress installer to ZIP-package, user has to decompress it then. I would like to make it work directly... it should be possible, I have used links to AIR-installer elsewhere.... what I´m doing wrong?
    I have also problems with auto-update... but i have Flex SDK 3.5 in use and I heard there´s some bug that has something to do with update process... I tried to download SDK 3.5a but site was down few minutes age... I´ll re-try later...

  • Any idea on when Audition CS5.5 will be compatible with Mac OSX Lion

    Hi
    Any idea on when Audition CS5.5 will be compatible with Lion ?
    Will they let us know through this forum or on the main product page ?
    Thanks

    I've seen this before on a Theatre Sound Mailing List I subscribe to.
    Every time Apple issue an updated operating system there's a flurry of questions about all sorts of sound recording, editing and playback software that no longer works.  This moves to a flurry of "this update now works but that one doesn't" posts then, eventually everything settles down just in time for Apple to issue a new upgrade.
    I don't understand why they do things this way but it's one of the reasons I stick to Windows and never wish to move to Apple products.  Their disregard for their customers (or are they acolytes?) is astounding.

  • IOS 6.1 still sound bug

    Dear comm, AND DEAR APPLE SUPPORT!
    It is really annoying!
    Today I have updated my iPad2-16GB-3G to iOS 6.1 and that bloody sound bug is still there.
    [Shortly the sound works and randomly after a short period of time it chrashes. No hardware key and no soft key works anymore. The soft key is gone.
    I saw several chats regarding the different iPhone / iPad versions dealing with the same prob.]
    I would appreaciate an opportunity to put more pressure on Apple to solve these problems. These wonderful gadgets like iPhone and iPad are that expensive!
    And one of the key functions does not work. A bug that is not fixed since month, now!
    and double it!
    To all persons concerend: Stand up and put pressure on the Apple support to solve that problem!
    THX and sorry for venting my anger!
    joapp

    First, Apple Support is NOT reading these forums. These are user to user technical help forums hosted by Apple. There are only other users here.
    You may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for evaluation or contact Apple support.
    There is a chance that you have a bad Application on your iPad which is crashing the sound driver but, fron your description, this seem unlikely, however, give that possibility some consideration.
    Note: the majority of sound problems reported here are caused by the user having mute turned on and not realizing it. You don't seem to have that from your symptoms.

  • Fullscreen bugs in Air 2 apps under client Air 2.5 runtime?

    We produce video distribution apps handling DRM in Air 2.0
    We've  encountered quite a serious bug in our Air applications' handling of  Flash when going fullscreen.
    Under Air 2.0, our apps  were fully functional. No issues.
    After the upgrade to Air 2.5,  all PC installs no onger display video content in full screen when  prompted to do so.
    We have noticed the same error  occurs in AMP 1.8 and are yet to find an example of an Air application  that does not experience this issue.
    As the bug is  isolated to PC (not present on Mac at all), is it related to either:
    a) Flash handling of the Output protection enacted with this update or
    b)  h264 hardware decoding
    We have over 30K apps deployed  and seek information regarding a resolution for this asap.
    We have  drafted a workaround, but it is not an ideal situation.
    Is  Air 2.5 being updated again (within 48hrs)?

    Hello,
    I'm sorry you've run into this fullscreen playback bug.  We found this issue with AMP after the release of 2.5 (internal bug #2732895) and it will be fixed in our next release.  Adobe announced yesterday that an update to Flash Player would occur on or before November 9th.  Typically AIR and FP releases occur in tandem.
    In our testing, we were only able to reproduce the issue with Adobe's Media Player, attempts to reproduce using AOL, BBC iPlayer, or MovieFone were unsuccessful.  Could you point me to another example where this bug occurs?  I'd like to verify it's fixed on more than one application.
    I'm going to follow up with you via the forums private message system, you can also email me at [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Chris
