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

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.

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.

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

URLLoader bug with AIR SDK

Environment:
Flash Builder 4.7
AIR SDK 3.4
Mobile ActionScript project
Problem severity:
Use URLLoader class to get data from server; use URLVariables to send data containing a single field (Note, this issue happens only when you're sending only one field), as:
var urlVariables : URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVariables.contactid = "mycontactid";
var request : URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.data = urlVariables;
request.url = "https://myserver.com/flex/GetContactDocument?OpenAgent";
var loader : Loader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onSuccess );
loader.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError );
loader.load( request );
Everytime it turns into IOErrorEvent returning stream error with the used URL path. I eventually noticed it didn't add any "&" after the URL! So what was supposed to be is this:
https://myserver.com/flex/GetContactDocument?OpenAgent&contactid=mycontactid
But instead URLLoader seeing this as:
https://myserver.com/flex/GetContactDocument?OpenAgentcontactid=mycontactid
Note, there's no & sign after OpenAgent word!
This doesn't happens when there are more then 1 fields in URLVariables class! This is strange, and looks like a bug to me!
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
1 . If you used more then 1 field in URLVariable, then is this ever worked for you with any of the AIR SDK version.Could you please share the use of OpenAgent here in the url.
2. One should not used “?” without assigning any value in the url for the specified field which is incorrect ("https://myserver.com/flex/GetContactDocument?OpenAgent") , please try to implement like (“https://myserver.com/flex/GetContactDocument?OpenAgent=”+value+””) as url schema needs “?” before the first parameter and “&” before the following ones. OR Try to use (https://myserver.com/flex/GetContactDocument”) and then pass the url variable through which “?” and “&” is append by the request automatically.
Please update if this will work for you.

How to use Builtin Webcam on Macbook Air

Friends i bough Macbook air. This is my first apple laptop. I am totally new to this.
I was trying to use my Webcam for using Skype and yahoo . Unfortunately the test call shows no webcam availale. When i try to do simple facetime the cam is working.
Can you please guide me steps in which i can access built in webcam for both yahoo and skype.

Restart Mac and try some Apple camera apps that came with your Mac. If they work, see Skype help or yahoo help for help for these non-Apple apps.
If your Apple apps don't work, see the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090. Unless you get thing working right away, be sure to test more than one Apple camera app in more than one user account.

Problem/bug with AIR 3.0

Hi guys,
I'm here again. I got this error when I tried to publish my project with AIR 3.0.. Actually, I've created an application usign AIR 2.6 (default comes with CS 5.5). It was used to get published and I used to update it on regular basis. Few days back I had to copy AIRSDK3 folder to Adobe's program files' folder, where I renamed AIR2.6 to anything else and AIRSDK3 to AIR2.6... Today, when I tried to publish my same project, I got this following error. Hope that would help adobe (as it is beta version).
(By the way, when I renamed the folders to their original names, it worked and published).

Steve,
We have seen the same thing and reported it to Forte. We have not yet
heard back with a bug report number...
For now, we have removed all comments from our sql code.
Derk
>
We have just switched from version 2.0.H.1 to version 3.0.F.2 in development,
and have discovered a bug with comments in SQL code.
Anywhere in a cursor definition, or within SQL code in a method, if we use the
multi-line comment format "/* ... */" even on a single line, then the code
compiles fine, but crashes at runtime with a "Invalid SQL Command" error. It
looks as though Forte is including the comment as part of the SQL!
Has anyone else seen this problem? We have not found it in the known bugs list
for 3.0.F.2 or the fixed bugs list for 3.0.G
This worked fine for us prior to version 2, and if we don't get it fixed in
Forte, it means a lot of rework to change the existing comments to single-line
"// ..." format.

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

Fullscreen bug in AIR 2.5

We built a flash application which was packed with AIR v1.0(current
version at that time), which by default opens in full screen mode
we had added a button within the application which uses the following
code to minimise the application
This code minimises the application till AIR runtime v2.03. Once the
runtime is upgraded to V2.5 the application stops to go fullscreen in
the below scenario
After upgradation if the user clicks minimise button, and then tries
to restore the application by clicking the application tab in the
taskbar, the application fails to go fullscreen
It remains as a borderless window with a partial portion of the
application displayed
Thereafter the user has to force quit the application and relaunch
This application series is our largest seller, and we are deeply
concerned of the Windows and Macintosh versions
We would really appreciate a quick response
Sanjay
Code
/* To minimize the window- on click the minimize method is called*/
windowChanger.minimise.
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,minimize);
private function minimize(event:MouseEvent):void
            myWindow.minimize();
            trace("minimize the window");
/* To maximize the window- onActiviate method is called*/
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event) {
            stageDetails();
public function stageDetails():void {
            stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

For those following along, Sanjay and I have taken the discussion offline and he provided me with a couple of sample projects. I've been able to reproduce the issue on AIR 2.5 and it has now been entered as a bug in our internal database, #2751098.
I've also proposed a workaround that appears to work on both Mac and Win. Instead of
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event):void
     stageDetails();
I've suggested using
stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE, onDisplayStateChange);
public function onDisplayStateChange(evt:NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent):void
     if (evt.afterDisplayState == NativeWindowDisplayState.NORMAL)
     stageDetails();
I hope this helps anyone else that might encounter this issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Very strange bug with AIR and native process (Windows 7, EXE)

Hello to everyone!
The situation is:
I've made an AIR Application, inside of that is running a native process - EXE file.
I'm using Flash CC as IDE and tried to use compile that as EXE with AIR 2.6 and 3.6 - results are same.
So I've insert inside a checking if Native Process is supported or not and the Native process is supported all the time.
When I've just installed the application and run it - the very first attempt is good - everything is working as a must: internal EXE is called by my Application with necessary parameters as many time as I'm need.
However if I'll close the App and then will run it again - internal EXE is not starting at all, doesn't depends on number of attempts to re-start of the App.
So only way is to uninstall, install it back and then you'll be one more session of successful internal EXE-requests, till the next re-start of the App.
That's it.
I've tried to "google it" but unsuccessful. Probably the bug is very rare.
Help me please?
Update: at compilation with Flash CC IDE it's working all the time with no any issues.
Update-2: when I'm running installator-EXE, there is going a notification "Same version is installed, etc." and then selected "Run Now" - there is also working with no problems.

Well, I've found the solution and answer by myself and here is it please:
In case with same situation as above you need to add just one line in your AS3-code
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.applicationDirectory;
And you will be happy so much

How do it turn on the webcam on macbook air?

the webcam on my macbook air is off and i'm not sure how to turn it back on.

Your Mac's software controls the camera: OS X Mavericks: Use your Mac computer’s built-in camera.
Photo Booth, iMovie, and Messages mentioned there are installed by Mac OS X. QuickTime X and some other parts of OS X can also use your camera. Simply launch the app you want to use and enjoy. Each app's Help function will tell you how the camera works for the different functions the different apps provide.

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

What is the procedure for logging a Bug in AIR?

I believe that a bug exists in AIR v1.0 when running a SWF
created using ActionScript 2 (for FlashPlayer 8) - what is the
process for reporting it or getting it fixed?
This is a serious problem for my customer, as they are
presently stuck to using AIR Beta 3 (which will expire)
The AIR App that was working under FlexBuilder3 Beta 2 &
Beta 3.
In AIR v1, I now get an error during debug:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property
__OnEnterFrameBeacon on _main_mx_managers_SystemManager.
It happens after button click in the SWF (loaded by
SWFLoader)
After I get this error, The SWF seems to 'lose itself', i.e.
the screen goes a bit 'haywire'' (both running in debug and as an
installed AIR Application). If I run the SWF without AIR it works
fine
Thanks,

Alarming bug in AIR SDK 4.0.0.1390, -useLegacyAOT no

I've uploaded small testcase which does some simple testing of equivalence of fractions (by parsing Numbers, Strings, etc). The testcase SWF passes when packaged without -useLegacyAOT no, but fails when using the new halfmoon compiler. I've filed the following bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3694360
This is alarming because it means the new halfmoon compiler feature has changed the logic of the testcase and breaks our app.
I'd appreciate it if someone could download the testcase and confirm this.
Please let me know when this is fixed. We will not be using -useLegacyAOT no in the mean time.
Best,
-Jeff

I've created a radically simplified testcase that isolates the bug. When creating two instances of a class in a static function, those references are both set to the second instance only when using halfmoon compiler:
https://gist.github.com/jcward/7066bc017bf92531f594
Errant function reproduced here for discussion purposes:
public class Foo
    public function Foo() {
    static public function something():void
      // Create two unique objects, they cannot be the same
      var A:Foo = new Foo();
      var B:Foo = new Foo();
      Main.t.text += "Created Foo, A="+A+"\n";
      Main.t.text += "Created Foo, B="+B+"\n";
      // But in halfmoon, the references are the same:
      if (A==B) {
        Main.t.text += "ERROR: reference A cannot be equal to B, wth halfmoon?"
        throw new Error("Halfmoon-induced error, A != B");
      } else {
        Main.t.text += "A-OK, two unique Foo references!"
    private var ID:int = Math.random()*0xffffff;
    public function toString():String {
      return "[Foo] " + ID;

I have a mobile app that crashes when I call camera roll or camera. Is there a bug in Air 15.0.0.252?

I have some code that I created a couple of years ago and it worked fine but when I use the exact same code with Apache Flex 4.13 and Air 15.0.0.252 when tghe camera roll or camera is invoked the app crashes.
protected function uploadCamera_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (CameraUI.isSupported)
        trace("camera is supported");
        var myCam:CameraUI = new CameraUI();
        myCam.launch(MediaType.IMAGE);
        myCam.addEventListener(MediaEvent.COMPLETE, selectCompleteHandler);
    else
        trace("camera not supported");
        AlertBox.show("Error","Camera not supported on this device.");
//select a picture from the camera roll (gallery)
protected function uploadGallery_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (CameraRoll.supportsBrowseForImage)
        trace("camera roll is supported");
        var roll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll();
        roll.browseForImage();
        roll.addEventListener(MediaEvent.SELECT, selectCompleteHandler);
    else
        trace("camera roll not supported");
        AlertBox.show("Error", "Camera roll not supported on this device.");
//when the selection is complete upload it
protected function selectCompleteHandler(event:MediaEvent):void
    trace("event.data.file.url = "+event.data.file.url);
    //statusText.text = "Uploading...";
    takePhotoButton.enabled = galleryPhotoButton.enabled = false;
    var file:String = event.data.file.url;
    var str:String = StringReplaceAll(file, "file://", "");
    str = StringReplaceAll(str, "/", "//");
    trace(str);
    photoURL = str;
    runtimeimg.source = photoURL;
Anyone know why this is happening??
Thanks in advance!

Bug: Custom AIR Application icons on Mac OS X don't display after install

There are circumstances where custom AIR application icons don't display in certain Finder views after installation.
This is apparent when viewing the application in a docked folder popup. The icon renders as a blank with a sort of no entry slash across it. Another example where this occurs is in a Downloads folder in the Dock (if you immediately create an alias to the app in the your Downloads folder, and your Downloads folder is in the Dock).
In addition, the maximum icon size of 128x128 really not that large. I wish AIR applications could have larger icons, like real applications.

I've seen this occur with numerous applications (native OS X and AIR) and typically restarting the dock (rebooting or logout/login) fixes it for me. Doing a quick search on Google show's that it's a pretty common occurrence. Are you still seeing this occur after rebooting?
As for the large icon support, I would like to encourage you to vote for the following two feature requests!
Application Icon Size
512x512 Icon Support
Thanks,
