Whiteboard App in flash

Hello All,
I am new to flash and trying to create a white board kind of
application in it.
Can any body please verify the approach which i have taken.
Please suggest in case there
is any better way for doing the same.
Here is the scnerio
1. I need to load a jpg, png or gif file in background.
2. Facilitate user to draw lines on the image at run time.
3. Facilitate user to write text on the image at run time.
4. Give a transparent rect which user should be able to move
on the image and hide a specific portion of it.
Here is the way i had implemented the same:
a. I have created a movie clip and loaded a base image on it.
b. On next layer ( at next available depth ), a new movie
clip is craeted and , i had allowed user to draw lines etc.
c. For text, again a new movie clip is created and i have
used "createTextField" function to create a text box.
d. on next layer( at next available depth ) i have created a
transparent ractange. user can move this with the mouse
cursor.
I am using "createEmptyMovieClip" function for creating the
new movie clip.
Things are working fine for me. Basically i am not sure
whether it is the best approach to do this kind of app in flash
or there are alternative ways to achieve the similar
funcaitonality.
Can any body please help me in this case.
Regards,
Ritu

ritz outlined a logical approach to this project. what
problem are you having?

"no access to the digital certificate" - Trying to export my first iOS app from Flash - Help please

Hello
I'm trying to export my first iOS app from flash to my desktop / on the device (Flash Pro CC, Iphone5)
I followed the instructions on the adobe website to build an air app for iOS but on the last step it
doesn't export the app.
What I've done so far:
- Apple developer account
- creating the certificate + convert it to .p12
- app ID / Name etc.
- creating the provisioning profile from apple
- iOS Air app in flash (Only Text "Hello world" with a tween)
Now i have to load the certificates into Flash & enter a password (is it the password that
i entered in the certificate or from my developer account/ Apple ID password? Both didn't work at the end)
When i klick on publish in the last step than it loads a while but then i get the Error:
"no access to the digital certificate"
What is wrong? Can you help me please.

Also, I should say, when I go into my phone on the computer and try to install an app, I get this message:
Unable to start operation. Installer is already in use.
Any ideas

Problems with Dashboard Demo App in Flash Builder 4

I imported the Adobe Flex Dashboard app into Flash Builder 4 using SD 4.1 and selected "Use Flex 3 compatibility mode", but there are still some issues after import.
I'm not talking about having to create the "libs" folder and re-generate the HTML templates. I know why that needs to be done. I'm also not talking about the IStroke and IFill errors you get for the number of arguments to the apply() and begin() methods, as those interfaces changed in Flex 3.5.
But when I get the app launched, the chart datatips are just a black rectangle (no text) and the combobox entry text is invisible.
I'm going to try and fix these, but I thought selecting "Use Flex 3 compatibility mode" meant no changed required?

Here is a simple example. Create a new project in Flash Builder 4 and in the project properties compiler section, select "Use Flex 3 compatibility mode". Then launch the app, hover over a column in the chart and you see black rectangles, not data tips. Why is this and how to fix?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="srv.send()"
height="600">
<mx:HTTPService id="srv"
    url="http://aspexamples.adobe.com/chart_examples/expenses-xml.aspx"/>
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.data.result}" labelField="month"/>
<mx:Panel title="Column Chart">
    <mx:ColumnChart id="myChart" showDataTips="true"
      dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.data.result}">
      <mx:horizontalAxis>
        <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="month"/>
      </mx:horizontalAxis>
      <mx:series>
        <mx:ColumnSeries xField="month" yField="profit"
          displayName="Profit"/>
        <mx:ColumnSeries xField="month" yField="expenses"
          displayName="Expenses"/>
      </mx:series>
    </mx:ColumnChart>
    <mx:Legend dataProvider="{myChart}"/>

Creating Apps in Flash that allows connection with any existing LMS

Hi Everyone,
I am interested to create e-learning apps using Flash and then output it using AIR to a native extension as an .ipa or .apk format.
Can you connect with any existing LMS using Actionscript 3.0? I am curious as I have been searching over the web and no-one has posted anything about it.
Right now for any Adobe e-learning solutions, the prevailing technology is to use Adobe Captivate but the project exceeds what Captivate is capable of.
Thanks for reading!

You better check the documentation available on OTN
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_03/web.1013/b14432/threadpool.htm
There are several options you can setup with pooling.
hope this helps.

Can I create pedometer app with Flash?

I have used eclipse before, but first time to create app in flash. Can I make a pedometer app for Anroid and iPhone? Is there any related tutorial on web? Thanks a lot.

You can use Flash CS6 (and CS5.5) to create mobile apps. I don't know any specific pedometer tutorial, but do a search for gyroscope native extention for Air (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/gyroscope.html) and geolocation (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/quick_start_as/quickstarts/qs_as_geolocation_api.html).

Developing iOS apps with Flash Guide.

Hello,
Does anybody know any good guide or tutorial for build iOS apps in flash?
I had done an application which is in "Waiting for review", but I made it lineal, without packages or clases, because I don't know them, so i used pure ActionScript in a single FLA.
I don't know what people can say when they mention AIR ... I don't have that? (or I do)?)
I need to make an app that is basically a book, so I need smooth paging and scrolling technique
Sorry if it's too much, any help will be apreciatte
Best Regards

Privilege not valid between iTunes and iPad with a app from Flash

I'm creating a first app with Flash Professional.
I generated the .ipa file and it's transfered to iTunes without problem.
But when I want to install it in my iPad, there is a message :
"The privileges are not valid !".
And the app is not installed.
Can someone give me ideas about what I could do ?
Thank you !

Finally made an appointment at the Genuis Bar <free of charge>. The tech suspected that the firmware got trashed. The tech reloaded the frmware and the IOS. The "reimaging" wiped out the iPad and I had to rebuild my settings by hand. But everything works great.
The Genuis Bar folks are Genuises...

Developing Iphone App using Flash Builder and Flex Air Mobile

I started developing an Iphone app using the trial version of Flash Builder and was pretty impressed with how easy it was, then i hit problems:
Trying to submit my app, I was getting invalid binary, using google i tracked this down to a change in the Apple App Store meaning that all apps needed to have native iphone 5 support, which meant updating to Air SDK 3.7
Updating to AIR SDK 3.7 was a nightmare (mainly as a result of my failure to read the small print)
Once I got SDK 3.7 to work with flash builder / flex mobile i though i was there.
However now i can produce a fast build but everytime i try and produce a standard / production build i get strange errors (air 3.8 does the same).
My Question is - before i actually buy Flash Builder has anybody actually achieved the following:
     Building an Iphone App using:
     Flash Builder 4.7    (running on OSX)
     Flex Mobile 4.6
     Air 3.7
If so how ?
cheers
Toby

Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
      __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
      __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
cheers

Whiteboard Apps

I am looking for a whiteboard app that I can use with the iPod touch and share with a computer (via wifi or whatever).
Zeptopad seems to be close to what I am looking for, but I am looking for something a bit cheaper if possible since that app is $20.
Please let me know if you know of any apps that would work for this.

Creating app in Flash CS5 issue!

I've been creating an app in Flash CS5, but already early in the process I encountered a lag issue when I got it on my iPhone4. I've created a simple map, with few colors on it, where it's possible to zoom in/out (pinch) and move the map around using a single finger, when the map is zoomed in.
When I start piching in/out it lags, and when I move the map it lags as well.
I have already tried these things:
- Different fps from 8 to 60
- Fewer colors
- Fewer object
- Converting objects to symbols
- Deleted unwanted layers
- Rendered using both CPU and GPU
- Tried fullscreen view and none fullscreen view
Anyone who has an idea on how to reduce the lag issue?

already early in the process I encountered a lag issue when I got it on my iPhone4.
Surprise, surprise... this is one of the reasons why Apple recommends against using third-party development tools, instead of native ones.
Quoted from Apple's "Thoughts on Flash":
+"We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform."+
You'd be better off asking in the Adobe developer forums for help with their development software.

Built app with Flash Builder 4.6 and compiled for iOS, now error when loading to appstore

I built a fairly simple app using Flash Builder 4.6 and have successfully deployed it to the Android Market (after testing on my own Android device). I have also taken that same app and compiled it for iOS and tested it on my own iPad.
I have then done the release build with the "Final Release for App Store Distribution" option in the release build wizard. I have all the correct provisioning certificates in place and compiled the application to a .ipa file.
At this point, using a MAC, I have run the Application Loader utility to upload my application to the itunesConnect portal to get it in the appstore. I've already gone through the steps of entering the metadata, price scheme, and screenshots in the itunes connect portal, and just need to upload it for review.
When I upload the .ipa file into the application loader, it gives me the following error:
"iPhone/iPod Touch: application executable contains unsupported architecture(s): arm"
Anyone have any idea what this means and how I can fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Solved it. Just added the following in the <InfoAdditions> tag for iPhone in my app descriptor XML file:
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>wifi</string>
<string>armv6</string>
<string>armv7</string>

Packaging adobe air with android app in flash cs5

Hi,
I have developed a very simple app in flash cs5 and am ready to upload it to android market. However, users need adobe air to run it. Does anyone know if there is some way to package the app with air? I want to make it as easy as possible for people to run the app. Users will be prompted to download air and I can put this information on the apps page on android market but if there is some way to iclude this in the apk I'd love to know. Can't seem to find information on it on the web.
Thanks

Hum, thought so. Usually if there seems to be no answer to something on the web it's not possible!! Thanks.
