Using library images when making phone apps in AIR

Gidday guys
A lot of the tutorials I'm getting through practice embedding their images when making phone apps, and put these images in their assets folder.
I'm wondering - is it not OK to simply use images as symbols from your Flash Pro library?
I'm not refering to splashscreens or icons - rather images that make up the app's functionality.
I thought it may be something to do with supplying multiple images for different screen res', but I'm planning on designing at 640x960, and using...
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
...to take care of different resolutions.
Thanks for your help.

Yes - I do this with my desktop AIR app.
What I'm wondering though is it OK to do this for phone apps, or is there some advantage to emedding the images and putting them in your project's assets folder? eg phones being able to cache images from assets, but not if the images are built into the swf.

Viewing online images in native phone apps with AIR?

Gidday guys
What's the standard way of loading an online image into a native phone app? An image that can't be packaged with the app as it may have been changed by the user eg a profile picture, or their logo?
Cheers

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

How do i insert a splash screen or a loading screen and a application image for a phone app on Dream

How do i insert a splash screen or a loading screen and a application image for a phone app on Dreamweaver 6, 5.5 had the mobile application setting that is seemingly no longer present? and i also heard you can use animanted backgrounds on the mobile application in dreamweaver 6 but figuring out how to set the splash screen and application image like it was in 5.5 would be nice. All i can get to pull up is the web application i developed i am trying to build into a phone app on google chrome, if i could officially designate it as a phone app where i can set each splash screen and app image to where it is recognized as a phone app that would be really nice.

Duely noted, the server will still not connect, so i have left an inquery in the suggested forum.

Any ideas on how that problem can be mended if the solution is in my hands?? I haven't used PhoneGap Build recently, but I have seen several reports about problems connecting to the server. One suggestion that I've heard is that there has been unexpectedly high demand on the server since the launch of Edge Tools and Services as part of the Creative Cloud last month. As far as I know, the only thing you can do is wait, and try again later. You could also try posting in the PhoneGap Build forum: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/products/nitobi_phonegap_build.

HT4623 why cant i save phone image to photo album...its show save this image to your phone app?,,,,,but no image is save

why cant i save phone image to photo album...its show save this image to your phone app?,,,,,but no image is save

Hi FANMixco,
To be clear, you can see the image from your file system but cannot access it from code?
I'd like to know what could be my bug because I don't understand why I can access from the URL,
-> If you can access the image from URL, you should definitely download it and use it, I'm not quite understand your question now.
I'm not knowledgeable with chmod under Linux, let's say if we give it full accessibility, what will be the result?
Anyway if you can see the image from file system, that already means the upload is succeed, I think you may need get some suggestion from php side to see how can we save the image with a correct permission.
I will move the question to off topic, since the question is on the server side but not client side, which is out of the forum support scope, thanks for your understanding.

I get an error message "iPhone is already on a call" when making phone calls from Macbook Air. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have followed the instructions exactly according to Apple for making phone calls from my Macbook Air. Im signed in to iCloud on both devices. Im on the same wifi network. Wifi calls is turned off on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

Howdy jcannon130,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac believes you iPhone is still on a call while trying to make a call from your Mac, please first reset your iPhone, and then verify you have the settings configured correctly on your Mac and iPhone.

IPhone 6 Plus 64GB (iOS 8.1 or 8.1.1) springboard crashes repeatedly when making phone calls via Continuity on Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 using Yosemite 10.10.1

I USED TO be able to make phone calls using continuity on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) with Yosemite (10.10) via my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8.1 without any problems. Once I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, my iPhone's springboard would continually crash where it brings up the Apple logo and quickly restarts repeatedly until I end the call. Just so that you know, I am able to stay on the call while this is occurring the whole time.
I need to reiterate, this all started happening as soon as I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1 while still on iOS 8.1. I know this because I made a few phone calls (loving the feature), updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, then made a few phone calls afterwards, and this started happening.
When iOS 8.1.1 came out, I eagerly updated hoping this issue would go away, and it did not. I'm hoping Apple notices this post. If anyone else has this problem, please contact Apple and chime in this post as well. Thank you Apple for incorporating continuity calling. I love this feature, but need to use it without my phone's springboard constantly crashing.

I have this issue as well. I am using an iPhone 6 plus, iPad Air 2, 5K iMac, and MacBook Pro. When I make a continuity calls from any device, the springboard crashes. This only happens with outgoing calls, incoming calls are functioning normal. I am currently working with multiple Apple Senior Advisors, and they are working directly with iOS a engineers. I have an active open case and will update this thread when a resolution is found.
Just a tip for everyone with this issue, restoring your devices and setting them up as new WILL NOT correct this issue. Save yourself the hassle. I did this with my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook and the issue still persists.

IPhone 6 seems to crash when making phone call from Mac

When using my iPhone 6 Plus to make phone calls from the Macintosh, (initiating call from Mac Contacts app in Yosemite) the iPhone continually brings up the Apple logo and does a quick restart over and over again. The phone call, however seems to work, but it's just that the iPhone looks as if it's going crazy showing the Apple logo and then the home screen over and over again. This had worked initially, but not anymore. Both iPhone 6 and MacBookPro up to date with updates.

If you never find an app that will do it then you could have a go at making one yourself-I don't think you need to pay Apple as long as you don't want to sell it.

Screen goes black when making phone calls

Hi, I have started to use a new Xperia Z2 a short while ago. As soon as I am tapping the screen to call a phone number the screen goes black; I can hear the phone calling but can't see anything (not being able to turn on loudspeaker etc.). The sound works, and screen can be brought back to life when the call is finished. Same thing when I call with my Skype app - really annoying as the video mode in Skype doesn't function. When the call is finished from the other side, I can get the screen to light up again. What can I do to solve ths problem?

Hi.
I've got very simillar problem with Xperia Z2 screen.
Not always, but very often when I want to end the conversation and take the phone away from my head, screen remains black.
Only power button can help, when I click it, screen pops up and then I can click "END CONVERSATION"
It's really annoying. What can I do, to make it work ?
Answers for your further questions.
- I don't have any protection on the screen

Anyone see changes in images when making a web gallery through Adobe Bridge cs4??? Please Help!

When creating web galleries through adobe bridge CS4 the final gallery images become very orange.....
Not even comparable to what we are seeing in Bridge or Photoshop CS4....
Adobe tells me that this is happening because of the conversion for web use.
We are just noticing this change now and feel that there is a problem somewhere.....
Has anyone else seen this issue or now anything to do to get it fixed???
It's really annoying, Please Help!!!

You probably want to ask this in the Bridge forum. From what I know, Bridge converts the profile to sRGB which helps avoids big color shifts if you view the images in an uncolormanaged web browser. This may change the appearance slightly, but there shouldn't be a huge shift.

How to use LIVE images within a flex app

My App is composed of links to other websites. Currently these links are in the form of images which are basically static screenshots of the websites.
What I want is for these images to instead be live i.e. what the website looks like currently. So if the website changes it's background colour etc this will change within the image making it a live screenshot. This is something my client wants so that the app is is basically self updatable. Can anyone help me out on how to do this please?

I see what you mean about the clickable transparent overlays as this would stop the user interacting with the images which is what I want and I also see what you mean about it being hard to scale the images as it seems iframe has it's own scrollbars and includes the entire screen rather than thumbnails.
My further problem is that I need to display these images in a tilelist that the user can scoll up and down and the images need to be drag and droppable between 2 tilelists. Yikes. They already are drag and droppable at the moment and are all displayed within a tilelist but I just need to make them live.
Now I'm scared. Ha.

Font Problem with Embedded Images when making PDFs

Hello,
I am revising a document I didn't create which has embedded images. Although all of the fonts are turned on, when I create a PDF, the fonts in the EPS come out as Courier. When I print to my laser printer, the fonts in the EPS come out correctly. This job will eventually be produced as a PDF, so I need to figure this out. Any ideas?
Thanks.

We can't spend the time to retrieve the originals and distill them.
Yes, I understand that. I like to know why things don't work, even if it takes me a few minutes to test things. You don't have to retrieve any originals. Just unembed one from the ID file. I know it doesn't make sense to Distill all your EPS files when printing to PDF is going to take much less time. But if you can ascertain why it's not working, you'll have a better chance to fix it next time.
If the fonts weren't included in the original EPSs, why do they print to PDF in Franklin Gothic? This is true even in the one page document I sent you that doesn't have any styles.
They don't...unless you have that exact Franklin Gothic loaded on your system. They print in Courier here.
Your EPS file references a specific font name. When you print, your print driver matches up that reference with the Franklin Gothic font you have loaded. For reasons that I don't fully understand, when you Export to PDF Indesign is not able to match up the reference to the font the same way your print driver can.
Obviously, printing to PDF is a good workaround. And make sure you send your printer a PDF, not a live Indesign file.
