How to create an air application that uses the molehill api?
Feb 28, 2011 2:41 AM
Hi.
I was able to get the molehill api working for firefox and ie (by following instructions here : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/incubator/) but i cant figure out how to create an air application that can do the same (there is no mention of it on instructions page either :S) ?
I am using Adobe Flash CS5 and have set my Adobe Air version to 2 which is the latest i guess?, whenever i try to test the AIR movie i get errors telling me stage3D is not a compile time constant (ie its not recognizing any of the display3D classes :S ).
Another que. : when i try to set the context3DRenderMode to directx9 or openlgl for a web browser it automatically sets it to software :S (my computer supports both directx9 and opengl, i have CUDA support too, my gfx card = Nvidia GT 8600) ? Heres the code i am using to check which rendering mode is assigned : -
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display3D.Context3DRenderMode;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.display.Stage3D;
var traceMessageBox:TextField = new TextField()
traceMessageBox.background = true
traceMessageBox.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00
traceMessageBox.border = true
traceMessageBox.borderColor = 0x000000
traceMessageBox.width = 200
traceMessageBox.height = 25
traceMessageBox.x = (stage.stageWidth - traceMessageBox.width)/2
traceMessageBox.y = (stage.stageHeight - traceMessageBox.height)/2
stage.stage3Ds[0].viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight)
stage.stage3Ds[0].addEventListener(Event.CONTEXT3D_CREATE,_onContext3DCreate)
stage.stage3Ds[0].requestContext3D("directx9")
function _onContext3DCreate(e:Event){
var stage3d:Stage3D = e.target as Stage3D
traceMessageBox.text = "Context3D = " + stage3d.context3D.driverInfo
}
addChild(traceMessageBox)
And heres the output in firefox 4 beta edition :
Thanks For Help
