Webos, blackberry, & others (development with Flash Pro)?

Adobe marketed CS5.5 as being able to deploy to webOS, BlackBerry OS & iPhone, iPod Touch, & iPad as well as pretty much any device (Android included) that would run AIR.  Why can't I find any documentation for this and why in the publish settings there seems to be only iOS AIR and Android AIR?  I do not wish to have upgraded to CS5.5 if it cannot deploy to all the devices that Adobe marketed the product for.
Any input is highly valued.
Sincerely,

Well that answers the question about Blackberry OS (at least as far as the Tablet is concerned) and I just happened to look at the www.adobe.com/devnet page which has some detailed information on it for that.
However what about the TouchPad (webOS) or Palm/HP Pre phones (webOS)?  I know HP has discontinued manufacturing them but I think the platform might still stay around and be licensed to other manufacturers, which is why I want to know more about that.  In fact there was a high demand for the TouchPad at one point recently so do you guys know if webOS is supported by Flash as Adobe had advertised?
Thanks,

  • How to package the runtime into APK with Flash Pro + AIR 3 SDK?

    Hi
    I'm very glad to update my AIR SDK from 2.7 to 3.0 and everything seems working well. But how can I package runtime into .apk file with Flash Pro?
    Should I change the XXXXX-app.xml manually?
    Thanks

    Thanks, that explains a lot.
    I'm afraid I'm a bit confused about what the preferred way of developing extensions is going ahead. There seems to be a lot of conflicting documentation on the adobe site, e.g. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite.html  seems like the top page for extension documentation but it only talks about CS SDK 2.0 which uses CSXS and doesn't seem to be compatible with creative cloud apps.
    Then there's CS Extension Builder 2.1 which looks like it supports Flash Pro CC but isn't mentioned in the pages you linked too and it doesn't mention JSFL, but talks about the CSAW library.
    Do you know if:
    * The CS SDK has been dropped completely? 
    * CS Extenstion Builder is deprecated? (I can't see it as an option in the list of Creative Cloud apps)
    * Is then any documentation/utilities to help migrate existing CSXS extensions to work with creative cloud apps?
    Thanks,

  • Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

    Hi,
    I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
    Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
    - when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
    Correct:
    Wrong:
    After entering editing mode:
    - after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
    - after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel.  This happens more when opening many fla in the same time.  Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
    Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
    Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash  to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
    Does anyone know what's the problem?
    Thanks a lot.
    Mike

    Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
    I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
    Take care,

  • Starting iOS development with Flash Builder 4.6

    Hi guys,
    I want to start iOS development with Flash Builder 4.6. I have iPad 2 with iOS 6 installed (latest version available).
    I was following this tutorial step by step: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS064a3073e805330f6c6abf312e7545f65e-8000.html #WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-27e02e9a12ee20e4a60-7fff
    As a part of it I also did this:
    Convert a developer certificate into a P12 file - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/WS144092a96ffef7cc-371badff126abc17b1f-7fff.html
    Installed AIR SDK version 3.4.0.2540 as for 4.5 (I have 4.6) - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/error-run-debug-deploy-ios.html
    I try Now I am getting the follwoing errors:
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    SDK is missing file /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/aot/lib/AIRInterpreter
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    SDK is missing file /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/aot/bin/ld64/i686-apple-darwin9-ld64
    Required files are missing indeed. But where can I find them if AIR SDK doesn't have them? What should I do now?

    All the files in lib/aot/ are part of the AIR sdk.
    You'll have to overlay the AIR sdk on top of the Flex SDK (which comes with FlashBuilder).
    On windows, simply copy-paste the AIR folder on the Flex SDK folder. (merge the two folders)
    On mac, use a command line and ditto the AIR sdk folder on Flex SDK folder.

  • Indexing instances of specific class inside MovieClip authored with Flash Pro

    Hi there.
    I'm writing a class that extends MovieClip and that is linked to the MovieClip Object authored via Flash Pro during development (Father object).
    The hierarchy of this MovieClip Object is hidden from me - everything I know is that it may contain instances of other Class that was authored during development and extends MovieClip in the same manner (Son objects).
    I have no information regarding names or hierarchical positions of these Son objects inside Father object.
    Now the question is: how to get them listed?
    So approach I've taken was to implement current events:
    public class Son extends MovieClip
         public static const INITIALIZED : String = "son_initialized";
         public function Son ()
              this.dispatchEvent (new Event (INITIALIZED));
    public class Father extends MovieClip
         public var son : Vector<Son>;
         public function Father ()
              son = new Vector<Son> ();
              this.addEventListener (Son.INITIALIZED, this.onSonInitialized);
         public function onSonInitialized (event : Event)
              this.son.push (event.target);
    Well, this code compiles with no errors whatsoever, but it turns out that onSonInitialized gets never called. I assume that's because children constructors are called ahead of their parent one.
    Is there any way to get them listed?
    Thanks in advance.

    kglad,
    I'm trying to get an array of references to Son objects (Son extends MovieClip), randomly located deep inside display list hierarchy of Father object (extends MovieClip too).
    The Father movieclip is authorized in Flash Professional and is a black box for me - I can only manipulate Father.as and Son.as.
    Since I can't know exactly their pathes and names (i.e. father.child1.child5OfChild1.son32 for example), I decided to make them self-aware, dispatching event during construction time, messaging everybody that this instance of Son exists:
    public function Son ()
         this.dispatchEvent (new Event (INITIALIZED));
    And then I attached a listener inside Father's constructor:
    public function Father ()
         this.addEventListener (Son.INITIALIZED, this.onSonInitialized);
    The idea was that this event listener should have been catching all the Sons, located inside Father. But it doesn't work that way - Father's constructor seems to be called after all constructors of its children, so this event listener catches nothing.
    I've worked this around by straightforward display list traversing - it works, but doesn't look so elegant. May be there is still a way to make it work through events?

  • For all of us developing on Flash Pro 5.5 - watch out for the deployment type - performance varies

    hey
    for everyone who uses Flash Pro for mobile development please take notice that there is a big difference in the way you deploy your app
    on iOS, "Deployment -  Apple App Store" gives a much better performance than the quick publishing
    on Android, publishing to an APK file and installing that file with some method (like dropbox) gives better performance than testing or debugging the FLA straight through USB
    so don't end up fighting performance issues that are actually not there, like i did
    cheers
    Saar

    Yes, If you build the ipa appStore target with your development mobileprovision and certificate. You can install it on your device, but obviously you cant debug such ipa. For uploading on AppStore you build ipa appStore target with distribution certi and provision which you cant install on device (untill you build ipa-ad-hoc as colin suggested above which requires a third kind of certi and provisions )
    One more tip:
    Make sure you generate a release swf for the final version of the app (be it iOS, Android or Desktop app). It is very small in size and have optimized actionsctipt bytecode than debug version.

  • How do you obfuscate APK for Android that is published with Flash Pro CC ?

    I created an application for Android smartphones using Flash Pro CC.
    I don't know much about obfuscating APK files but I heard that APK can be easily decompiled and therefore my AS file sourcecode is vulnerable. So I started searching on google and found that ProGuard does obfuscation. But it's for Eclipse so I guess i can't use ProGuard for my app which is created using Flash Pro CC. Is there any way to obfuscate my APK? or is there any other way to protect my APK?

    ProGuard is a command line utility as you can see here:
    ProGuard
    ProGuard is a command-line tool with an optional graphical user interface. It also comes with plugins for Ant, for Gradle, and for the JME Wireless Toolkit.
    While it's nice to use it in an integrated environment you should investigate the usage of it on the command line.
    An APK is a .zip file. Feel free to unzip it and explore the contents as any other person could. You'll see what exactly is exposed to others. Consider by what you see if anything is actually in danger before you pursue a potentially complicated or unnecessary procedure like obfuscation.

  • Difficulty with Licensing Android apps developed with Flash CS6

    Hi, I'm heading down many a blind alley with this one. I have developed an Android app using Flash CS6 and it is ready to be published on Google Play. However, as it is a paid app, it is strongly advised to license it to protect it.
    There is a bit of documentation on how to do this with Flash Builder, but I need to be able to do it with Flash. The following link provides some info, though it is far too confusing for me to follow.
    http://www.rybram.com/index.php/blog/61-air-30-android-licensing-tutorial-project
    The Android developer page has info about it here, but it keeps refering to the Manifest file.
    http://developer.android.com/google/play/licensing/adding-licensing.html
    I've seen a few other threads on here touching on this subject, but I have not had any luck with them. There's lots of references to Air Native Extensions that handle licensing but I don't understand them.
    I'm quite surprised that there is no support from Adobe on such a fundamental stage of the app production. Basically, anyone developing Android apps using the otherwise fantastic Flash CS6 will have trouble protecting their apps with licenses once published, meaning that anyone can just grab the .apk file and redistribute it anywhere.

    I think what I need is the idiot's guide
    As long as you don`t make this attudude a habit
    It might be best that you hire someone to look into the matter, pushing out sth. on the market with no real plan
    I'm heading down many a blind alley with this one
    could get you into serious trouble with customers that buy your product, experiencing trouble with some kind of DRM you are blindfoldedly implementing and having no clue how to fix it.
    Just saying.
    You wouldn`t surely feel comfortably buying from a developer who is admitting to have no clue what he/she is doing, would you?

  • CS extension with Flash Pro

    Hi everyone
    Is it possible to make a CS extension with Flash professional instead of Flash Builder?

    Short answer is no.
    Extension Builder (based on Flash Builder) provids full support for extension development.
    Besides, you can use CSSDK.

  • Blackberry Curve Drawbacks with Macbook Pros?

    I am considering getting a Blackberry Curve(again). I got one about a week ago but wasn't able to use the Blackberry as a tethered device(basically use the internet on my macbook pro laptop through the blackberry. It would sign on for about 45 seconds then disconnect
    I've been reading and seeing different programs you guys have mentioned. I was wondering if anybody has experience with a Blackberry Curve and a Macbook Pro and have some advice. Didn't know if I needed one of these programs to sync the connection between the two better.
    I am going to get the unlimited tethered plan which gives me unlimited internet and the ability to connect my laptop to the internet through the Blackberry Curve Modem device.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

    I tried this attempt thinking that yeah the airport needed to be turned off because it could've been causing interference but that didn't solve the issue either.
    I know that when I talked to the support line at Cingular they looked it up(and also e-mailed me the link) showing that the Cingular Blackberry 8300 was only compatible with Windows vista, xp and so on, did not say Mac OSX but I didn't know if there were applications out there for Mac that could trick the phone or whatever into syncing up and allowing the internet. Does anybody have a 8300 and are able to get internet on their Macbook Pro? Thanks Rich though for the help. If ya got any other ideas definitely let me know, and Verizon may be a bit different then Cingular, not sure.

  • Flash Media Playback - Compatible with Flash Pro?

    Hi all, I recently came across the Flash Media Playback player, (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-playback.html) and it seems like a great solution for streaming video on a website. However, I'm wondering if we can somehow use the Flash Media Playback streaming service inside of Flash Professional. The FMP only outputs html code, so I'm not sure how or if this could be used in Flash, but is seem like something that should be possible.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    The purpose of that product is to embed in HTML. If you're using AIR and use a StageWebView (which displays a native browser/HTML) then yes you could. Otherwise the purpose is specifically NOT to require Flash Professional. It's a fallback player, which means it attempts to use HTML5/MP4 as a best practice. If it senses no mp4 support it falls back to a flash player/SWF. The very nature of it overall is a copy and paste media player to use if you don't have Flash Pro.
    It's based on OSMF, which is a player you can use inside Flash Pro:

  • Debugging on a nexus7 with flash pro

    When using a nexus 7 to debug my program with flash professional CS6 on win 7 it just loops endlessly when publishing.  I've updated all the drivers, I've tried different USB cables and slots.  When I enter   adb devices   it sees the nexus 7 but it is offline.  How can I get it get it back online.

    Hi there.
    I know this is an old post, but I fell here having this same problem for some weeks now, and i just figured my issue. Hope it help others:
    My iPhone is connecting automatically with my itunes on computer. Not really sure what type of connection or wireless sync, but the fact is that it IS connecting.
    For some weird reason it gets Flash Builder crazy and it cannot find the right device anymore. Even when I get my iPhone connected by cable, it says that it found the device, but doesn`t publish to it. The Flash Builder says that it was published, but nothing gets installed, and the debugger cannot connect.
    MY SOLUTION (for now): Turn off the phone wi-fi, so it gets out of my home network. works like a charm and I finally can test on my device again.
    Really hope this helps.

  • Do mobile apps developed with Flash Builder 4.5 rely on a redistributable or virtual machine?

    I'm very new to Flash Builder 4.5 and am still trying to get my head around it.  I'm freelance and my primary code pimp has asked me to justify using FB 4.5 to develop mobile apps rather than something like PhoneGap or native SDKs (Objective C, Java, etc.).
    I'm quite impressed with FB 4.5 and it seems quite plain to me that FB 4.5 tries very hard to provide all the tools necessary to create iOS/Android/Blackberry apps all from a single code base but I'm wondering a few things:
    1) Does this require the use of a redistributable or virtual machine?  I'm wondering both from a performance standpoint but also just to understand better how FB 4.5 provides this magic one-project-for-all-platforms capability.  I'm guessing there must be some kind of virtual machine abstraction in use -- or does FB 4.5 generate a fully native application for each platform without the need for a machine abstraction layer?
    2) Has anyone encountered a situation where any of the target platforms lack features or behave differently?  E.g., "I cannot access some hardware feature like the accelerometer on Android under certain conditions."
    3) Can anyone speak to the relative benefits or penalties that FB 4.5 offers relative to PhoneGap or other HTML 5 solutions?

    Try to avoid using MX components in mobile apps.

  • ELIPS Studio from Open Plug to develop with Flash or Flex

    ELIPS Studio is a development application which converts Flash/Flex into a usable Apple Store iPad app, as stated by Open Plug, the owners of ELIPS, who can be found at www.openplug.com They state you can develop apps using Flash/Flex and their software will convert the Adobe Flash/Flex code into a product usable on Apple iPhone, iTouch, and iPad products. I want to confirm this statement from Apple that this software is accepted as a development platform for your products and that I can sell apps created with ELIPS Studio on the Apple Store with no complications or rejection from Apple. The recent controversy with Adobe Flash and Flex platform has made me skeptical and wanted an "OFFICIAL" verdict on ELIPS from Apple.

    I've not seen Apple make any statement of official support on any third-party application development platform, but if you're a member of the Apple Developer Program for iOS, you can try contacting Developer Support and see if they can give you an official statement on the matter.
