Very strange Adobe AIR bug...

Hi,
I have an AIR application that makes some http calls -- simply enough. This works when I run the app in Flex Builder but after I package the application and run the exe, the calls are never made. Even stranger, if I add an alert before the call in the method, then the http call is made. This makes no sense to me and I was wondering if someone could help shed some light on this. The code is below:
My config is as follows:
Flex 3.3 SDK
AIR 1.5
Cairngorm
Thanks!!
public function refreshCurrentStatusPanel():void{
//Alert.show("bears");
        var event:SetDateEvent = new SetDateEvent();
        event.dispatch();
        var event2:GetCurrentStatusEvent = new GetCurrentStatusEvent();
        event2.dispatch();
        var event3:GetDailyMaxMinEvent = new GetDailyMaxMinEvent();
        event3.dispatch();
        var event4:GetRawGraphEvent = new GetRawGraphEvent();
        event4.dispatch();
<mx:Button id="btnRefresh" toolTip="Refresh"
                        icon="@Embed('assets/refresh.png')"
                        width="18"
                        height="18"
                        click="refreshCurrentStatusPanel()" />

Adobe: AIR bug preventing us from upgrading to AIR 3.x

Adobe, since you released AIR 3.0 there's a bug that causes embedded PDFs to expand beyond the application window's width. The bug is detailed here.
In AIR 3.1 the issue hasn't been fixed, nor does the release notes say it's a "known issue". This concerns me since the bug was logged well before AIR 3.1 was released. I have asked for an update on the ticket but had no response, so currently I don't know whether this issue will be fixed before the AIR 3.2 release.
We cannot use AIR 3.x because it prevents us from reading PDFs and the workaround provided does not work for us. Can anyone tell me what's happening about this issue please?

Adobe Air Bug: embedded .flv in .swf does not start - Connection Error

Hi,
I have embedded an .flv video into an .swf (using Captivate CS5)
Then I use Dreamweaver and insert the swf into html.
So far everything works ok, the video is displayed.
Now I create an Air File in Dreamweaver.
Result; The video is not displayed. Message: "Connection Error"
I am not a programmer. Do I have to change the .xml file or is there any other fix for this?
Thank you very much!
Claus

This would be somewhat usefull if we where calling the FLV from javascript. However, both Clause and I are calling the flash object from the object tag. This is the default from Dreamweaver and also the prefered method for embeding a swf (my case) into a HTML Air app. The codebase I am using to create my Air app is modified html5 from the client's current website. (they would like this app to "look and work like the site")
For me, all is good exept the video. This app has to work offline or I'd just call the video from the website.
Is there a working example somewhere out there we can look at?
Life would be so much simpler if AIR supported the <video> tag in the webkit html engine. I'll use h.264. I promise!

Adobe AIR Apps + Safari = Very slow

Hi everybody,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Adobe AIR Apps on iPad. I've tested several Apps now (one GPU-Heavy Game, one CPU-Blitting App, one pretty standard Puzzle) and all of them do have the same issue - as soon as Safari is running in the background it sometimes (not always.. and most likely on iPad1) slows my App down to 1fps. Until I close Safari again. I haven't ever seen any other App doing so, thus I believe it's an Adobe AIR bug. Maybe only on iPad though.
Does anyone know why this happens or if I can get around of that? Besides my Apps run superfast.
What I've tested so far is:
- My memory usage is ~4mb. Doesn't seem to bother him if it's more or not
- My GPU-Cache is held quite low (but even with empty GPU Cache this issue appears)
- I'm using an Enter-Frame in all my apps which simulates the rendertick. Maybe this may be the fault?!
Many thanks in advance,
Marvin.

Furthermore:
- if the iPad was restarted you can have opened any iOS system-app without slowing down the Adobe AIR app
- nevertheless after some hours this bug occurs again.
Our game is in stores now: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifunnel-frenzy-hd/id457822239?mt=8 and many people send us bugreports because of it. As soon as I'm telling them to close iOS system-apps things work superfine again.
You can download and test this bug for yourself - I think this might be pretty self-explaining then.
I'm a bit struggling how to solve this.. honestly.

Premier Pro CC 2014 - Strange duplicating sequence bug

Hi
First post on the forum so sorry if I have done something wrong!
Currently working on a projection project and have a really strange aspect ratio sequence 3840 x 1080 (Twice as wide as 1080P). I have a central 1080P video clip and then have created two separate sequences to go either side to fill up to my full screen. The smaller sequences are 960 x 1080. See attached image!
I have come across a very strange and frustrating bug. The two 960 x 1080 sequences titled 'Right Small' and 'Left Small' and each have completely different video clips. However at a certain point the video which ever sequence I put on a lower layer will show outputting through the both 'Right Small' and 'Left Small' sequences. When I open up the sequences I can see them both playing separate clips however the video renders with the same image on either side. This is rendering on my timeline and on my export. I have tried deleting my render files but it stays the same. The only solution I have found is by starting one of the sequences one frame before the other and it fixes the problem!!!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Joe
First Image Shows how it should look at the start of the section where the two outer screens show the different content.
At this point in the video both sequences are duplicating each other showing the same clips even thought the top layer has completely different clips inside its sequence...

Right click on either one of the two nested sequences - Right Small or Left Small, and from the drop down menu, choose Render and Replace.
Does that help?

Adobe AIR Team - please stop trolling us and start fixing critical bugs.

Hi there,
i didn't intend to get offensive at anyone, but you at adobe give us, the developers and therefore your customers, not any choice.
Please see these critical bugs which are filed almost 2 years ago:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3496074
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3077653
It is one example where you making us the fools and behave like a troll by telling us a "workaround" and close the ticket. Again.
Giving us a workaround which affects the overall app experience and freezes the UI is not a solution to this problem. Why do you not care about stuff like that? File Operations are one of the most recent showstoppers to me in doing Adobe AIR Applications for iOS and you give me no chance but to search an alternate development platform. And I am not the only developer who is thinking like that.
Please be more developer friendly and try to fix as many bugs as you can before thinking about new features which aren't really important to us.

Hey , it's adobe ..OK. It's very very very normal . Just waiting ,just be patient , we will fix it several years later ,because we have more bugs important than it.
OK ,let me tell you another funny thing.
Refer to this article : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/air_extensions.pdf , Adobe said in page 49
Resources on Android devices
For the Android-ARM platform, put the resources in a subdirectory called res,relative to the directory containing the
native code library. Populate the directory with resources as described at Providing Resources on
developer.android.com. When ADT packages the ANE file, it puts the resources in the Android-ARM/res directory
of the resulting ANE package.
When accessing a resource from the extension’s Java native code library, use the getResourceID() method in the
FREContext class. Do not access the resources using the standard Android resource ID mechanism. For more
information on the getResourceID() method, see “Method details” on page 125.
The method getResourceId() takes a String parameter that is the resource name. To avoid resource name conflicts
between extensions in an application, provide a unique name for each resource file in an extension. For example, prefix
the resource name with the extension ID, creating a resource name such as
com.sample.ext.MyExtension.myImage1.png.
SO ..I follow they says to do. OK ,i got an ANE successfull . Then ,i Add the ANE into my mobile project . And Click "release" button(or debug ).
THat is the funny thing .I actually got an error message:
java.lang.Exception:
aapt tool failed:invalid resource directory name: D:\LocalProfile\Localtemp\8d438362-8178-429a-858f-715c1e176235\res/values-sw600dp

at com.adobe.flexide.multiplatform.android.launching.ADBLaunchHandler.launch(ADBLaunchHandle r.java:350)
I've test it on windows 7 32bit + FB4.7+AIR3.7 SDK ,and i also asked my friend test it on Mac OS + FB4.7+3.6SDK ....cann't package APK too. but error message is diffrent .
I wonder if anyone of adobe actually fully tested what they said . But I spent a few days checking my approach. And i responsible for my words.
I'm tired of reporting BUG.No matter what happens, i tell myself ,"it's product by adobe".

Bug after updating Adobe Air to Adobe Air 2.6.0.19140

I have an application developped in last version of Adobe Flex Builder (Flex 3 Pro) which worked very well.
But when I have updated to the last version of Adobe Air (2.6.0.19140), the method maximize() on a window now not works. The window is small in the corner of my screen.
Has anybody a solution ?

I0S7 StatusBar Overlays stage, Adobe Air 3.9 Beta Bug VOTE this Bug

Hi
I am using Adobe air 3.9 Beta. It seems that iOS7 give you the the possibility to style the Statusbar. But if you open an adobe air application the statusbar overlays the stage by default. It creates problems with my tabs.
I tested the app with an iPod and IPhone, both with iOs7 Both have the Issues. If I compile the app with Adobe air 3.8 the Statusbar will be displayed correct.
But I can't use air 3.8 because I need the new Icons 120x120 76x76 etc.
Other people have the same issue. See screenshots https://github.com/mutualmobile/MMDrawerController/issues/51
I think the solution is in the info.plist. There is an option for the info.plist UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance. We need this paramter to activate or deactivate the Statusbar overlay.
Please vote to fix this bug
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3633422
any Ideas for an workarround?
p.s.
sorry for double post in Air Development section

Hi,
up until now, I think this might be a general issue, even Xcode (5) apps have this.
However, if you just need the new icons you shouldn't care too much about this, you nearly can't see the differences when you adjust your icons a little bit (no border on the edges etc.), so I would rather use 3.8 (fast, since you might not be able to upload an app without the icons after tomorrow) and update it once those issues have been fixed (I think that this might need a while, since there are some more problems with 3.9).

Very strange bug: random keyboard disposition

Hi,
I just experimented a very strange bug. I have Arch installed with the XFCE desktop and Firefox3b05 from unstable. I was reading my favourite austrian newspaper online: http://derstandard.at. There's the possibility to post messages under the articles, so I clicked on "Post", and suddenly, within the posting window... my keyboard disposition went crazy. Instead of "a", I had a greek omega, instead of "s", I had a euro symbol, and so on. And more: all the other apps were suddenly affected too. I opened mousepad, same story.
I restarted X, went to the same site... and had the same experience. But after the third time, things seem to have returned to normality.
Anybody ever experienced something similar? What could this be related to? X going crazy?

Well, viewing the site is not the problem. You'd have to get an account and actually try posting a message on their message board. That's where the havoc begins.
JavaScript from hell, maybe...

Very strange bug with compareTo: returning incorrect results

Hello everyone! I have used the method compareTo many times to maintain my database project's entries. However recently I have discovered a bug, in which:
a and b both being Storage type objects:
private static class Storage {
object data
int nextData //an array stores the Storage objects
int previousData //this uses an integer to locate previous in array
Problem:
((Comparable)(a.data)).compareTo((Comparable)(b.data)) returns a 3, when a.data is clearly 5, and b.data is clearly 20.
This is very strange, as the compareTo should return a -1 instead of a positive number. Is this a known bug with the compareTo method? I have been using it reliably for many programs but this is the first time it ever occurs to me.

Problem:
((Comparable)(a.data)).compareTo((Comparable)(b.data))
returns a 3, when a.data is clearly 5, and b.data is

This is very strange, as the compareTo should return a
-1 instead of a positive number. Is this a known bug
with the compareTo method? I have been using it
reliably for many programs but this is the first time
it ever occurs to me.Not really... comparing Strings "5" to "20"
is really the same as comparing "5" to "2"
being the first character of the string, difference
being, surprise, surprise = 3.
If you want the Strings to be comparable that way you should left-fill them with spaces or zeros.
Or, better still, override compareTo and make your Storage implement Comparable instead of all that casting of the data objects.

Adobe AIR 2.0 Major Bug

Hello,
We have an application built in Adobe AIR (HTML and Javascript Based).
It's been running for 14 months now with no problems.
Adobe came out with the AIR 2.0 version, and because the updates are pushed automaticaly to the clients, we started to suffer from major pages render issues.
The app is written in Hebrew. and now with version 2.0 we get every few paragraphs, in the middle of the paragraph a question mark or two instead of the letters, and sometimes it just drops letters.
This happens randomly and I can't put a rule on this.
Because Adobe pushes this upgrade, a lot of our customers updated to this buggy version.
This is a major issue. I wish to know if you know something about it or atleast tell me how can I easily revert this version back to AIR1.5.3 on the clients.
This software is in our main structure of the company. Adobe should not release new upgrades that are automatically updates on the client side. this is something that we, the developers, should push to our clients (after checking for bugs).
We spent a lot of hours and money to develop our app, what should we do now?
I wish to know how can I contact someone from the Adobe AIR team, and get this issue resolved ASAP.
Thanks,
Uri

Uri,
First, I am sorry to hear that your application was impacted. Whenever possible, we release public betas so that customers can report back issues related to backwards compatibility. In the case of AIR 2, we released two public betas.
However, per the Adobe AIR system requirements page, Hebrew is not a supported language. While it is possible that your application was working in an earlier version (AIR 1.5.3), it was still not a supported platform at that time.
I would encourage you to submit a bug using our feedback form and we'll take a look. However, to set expectations, we always prioritize supported systems over unsupported systems.
Feedback form (please provide all information necessary to reproduce the issue):

Adobe AIR rendering bug

Hi all,
I have a HTML page where I hide a form till the user click a
button. The form have dropdown list and radiobuttons. This fuctions
works 100% when I open the HTML in a browser. But when I render the
HTML to an Adobe Air application, the form is hidden, except the
radiobuttons.
Any help will be appreciated.

As an update, I submitted a test build of the AIR app I'm working on to the Valve devs so that they could profile the Steam Overlay to see if any issues were going on there. Unfortunately, they were not able to find anything wrong on the Overlay side. It sounds like its a combination of the Overlay blocking win32 input messages and AIR's input handling. Here is the response I received this evening:
I got your depots and did some testing. Nothing unusual happens in the overlay. Profiling your app with xpref while the issue occurs and taking some minidumps to check callstacks it looks like the app just blocks up completely and uses zero CPU during the time it is blocked, when it happens it calls Present() only at roughly 1 second intervals until it recovers (maybe there is a 1 second timeout somewhere in the AIR code). It's hard to get much detail since I don't have any symbols for the AIR runtime libraries.
It does however look like this is somehow related to input state and AIR being unhappy with win32 input messages stopping. If I change our overlay to not block any input at all once activated (which obviously has some pretty big problems for usability, but just for testing purposes.) then the issue does not occur. It's possible that the AIR code has some weird logic where if it's seen some specific WM_WHATVER message it's expecting another right after and blocks on it waiting somehow.
Hopefully you can work out on your side or with Adobe as to why the application behaves badly in these situations and starts blocking and not presenting at regular intervals.
Can any AIR devs shed light on the underlying AIR input handling on Windows? We're very close to shipping on Steam, but this is holding us up because we need the Steam overlay for payment processing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Adobe Air is very smiller than Zinc App - Reposition and Resize not working?

Hello guys, i have found and readden nice solution like NativeWindow was saved positions and sizes If i close Adobe Air App and i open again like NativeWindow was moved and resized. It is very simple working. And it works fine. 100 % Good! But how does it work with Zinc App because it doesn't work for positions and sizes. How do i fix? I have upgraded code from FileSerializer.as With mdm.Script:
package
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLStream;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import mdm.Application;
import mdm.FileSystem;
import mdm.System;
public class FileSerializer
public static function WriteObjectToFile(object:Object, filename:String):void
var fileExists:Boolean = mdm.FileSystem.fileExists(mdm.Application.path+filename);
var outByte:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
outByte.writeObject(object);
if(fileExists == false)
mdm.FileSystem.saveFile(mdm.Application.path+filename, "");
mdm.FileSystem.BinaryFile.setDataBA(outByte);
mdm.FileSystem.BinaryFile.writeDataBA(mdm.Application.path+filename);
private static var stream:URLStream;
public static function ReadObjectfromFile(filename:String):Object
var fileExists:Boolean = mdm.FileSystem.fileExists(mdm.Application.path+filename);
if(fileExists == false)
var obj:Object;
stream = new URLStream();
stream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(evt:Event):void
obj = stream.readObject();
stream.close();
stream.load(new URLRequest(filename));
return obj;
return null;
That is improved to mdm.Script and it saves sometimes.
And i have create UserPref.as
package
public class UserPref
public var zincForm:String = "MainForm";
public var zincType:String = "sizeablestandard";
//public var zincSWF:String = "MainApp.swf";
public var zincPosX:Number;
public var zincPosY:Number;
public var zincWidth:Number;
public var zincHeight:Number;

And i recompile with Zinc Studio 4.0.22 than i try reposition and resize with Zinc Window than i close since saved files and i open again. But why does it not reposition and resize?

I0S7 StatusBar Overlays stage, Adobe Air 3.9 Beta Bug? Is there a Workarround

Hi

any Ideas?

My variation of the problem shows different results in 790 and 1080. Here's what I'm doing, and what's different:
When I ask the user to pick a photo from their album, the status bar appears (my app is full screen, and no status bar is showing at first).
With build 790, the status bar is opaque, black background, and it sits on top of the title banner of the picker (the word "PHOTOS" gets obscured). When I return to the app, the status bar remains there, and is sitting on top of my stage content. The picker is iOS 6 styled.
With build 1080 the behavior is identical to the above, except that the status bar is transparent, and the picker is iOS 7 styled. The status bar does not obscure the "Photos" word, that is further down the screen. On returning to the app I see the black text of the status bar sat transparent on top of the top part of my stage content.
If I build for 3.8.0.910, the behavior is the same as it is for 3.9.0.790.
This is with the GM version of iOS 7.
Overall, I think I'll build for 1080, and hope the client doens't notice the remnants of the status bar. Hopefully you will have added the new icons to the next iOS 7 AIR build, and found a way to hide the status bar after showing the picker.

Very strange Adobe AIR bug...
