microphone record, playback in AIR html js desktop app

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 19 Oct 2014 11:20:59 GMT

hi,

I want to record, save and playback the microphone audio in an HTML/JS AIR desktop app.

I can't find any examples so my code is based on AS3.

But the app crashes almost right away when the SampleDataEvent handler function is called.

Should it be in a while loop sames as AS3?

$(function(){

var mic;

var soundBytes = new air.ByteArray();

$("#btnRecord").click(function(){

mic = air.Microphone.getMicrophone();

mic.rate = 44;

mic.addEventListener(air.SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, sampleEvent);

})

function sampleEvent(e){

while (e.data.bytesAvailable) {

var sample = e.data.readFloat();

soundBytes.writeFloat(sample);

}

$("#btnStop").click(function(){

mic.removeEventListener(air.SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, sampleEvent);

$("#txtActivity").val("");

})

$("#btnPlay").click(function(){;

for (var i = 0; i < 8192 && soundBytes.bytesAvailable > 0; i++) {

var sample = soundBytes.readFloat();

e.data.writeFloat(sample);

//we write the data twice because there are 2 channels (stereo)

}

})

}

thanks,

Jeff.

HTML5 equivalent of AIR's openWithDefaultApplication()

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 11:18:46 GMT

hi,

I'm building an in-panel update feature, which allows the user

to download an updated ZXP of the extension from within the panel itself

and then launch the downloaded ZXP, which would open Extension Manager.

is there an HTML5 equivalent of AIR's openWithDefaultApplication() ?

thanks,

Jeff.

new window popup does not open on Windows

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 29 Aug 2014 10:31:08 GMT

hi,

when I open an new window in a Premiere HTML5 extension on Mac, it works,

but no window opens on Windows.

newwindow = window.open('www.adobe.com','name','height=200,width=150');

Trying to apply moveTo() or focus() after open() returns Cannot call ... method of undefined.

I wonder what causes this, probably it just gets blocked. By Windows? Premiere on Windows? Chrome in the extension on Windows?

Is there something I can do about this?

I cannot open it in the default browser because ultimately the window popup is a Paypal popup

opened by a webpage loaded in an iframe- which gives the same result as trying to open a window directly from within the extension as described above,

thanks,

Jeff.

Extension caches iframe content

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 11:14:32 GMT

hi,

I'm using an iframe in my HTML5 extension to load an external page,

which includes javascript files.

When these are changed on the server and I re-open the panel or even re-start Premiere, the old js

is being cached.

I believe the exact same problem was describe here

Photoshop HTML5 extension caches iframe all the time

but no answer,

I tried some common tricks like adding a timestamp to the url

or clearing the iframe's src at startup, but no luck.

Is there a way to clear the cache of an extension?

thanks,

Jeff.

open tab or window in user's default browser

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 07:48:29 GMT

hi,

can I navigate to a url and open a new window or tab in the user's default browser?

In flex panels - if you'd

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("url.com"));

the page would open up in the user's default browser.

How to do this in an html panel?

When I try

window.open("url.com '_blank');

a custom window opens and I'm not even sure where it comes from,

my default browser or the extension's embedded browser.

Thanks!

Jeff.

download and write a video file

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:59:11 GMT

I’m trying to download a video using xhr and then write it to the local file system using cep.fs.writeFile() from this API:

The other API — Medium

The following codes loads the video and shows it in a <video> tag. But writing it causes error 2, unknown error. Probably because I don’t pass the data correctly.

And is there a way to use constants to create commonly used paths that are valid across os platforms, like in AIR for example File.documentsDirectory? Probably not because usually js cannot access the local file system? How should I for instance set the path to a folder named ’blah’ in my Documents folder, on mac and windows?

And how should I pass the data in the writeFile method in example below, this.response?

And should I base64 encode the thing?

Btw, I can comfortably create, write and delete text files with the same code and api, changing the path to something like:

'/Users/my_user_name/Documents/test/test.txt';//MAC

I just wonder how to do this with mp4 and mov files.

var downloadFile = function (url) {

’use strict’;

window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.open(’GET’, url, true);

xhr.responseType = ’blob’;

xhr.onload = function(e) {

var video = document.createElement(’video’);

video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(this.response);

video.autoplay = true;

document.body.appendChild(video);

};

xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (xhr.readyState == 4) {

console.log(’onreadystatechange’, xhr.status);//200

var path = '/Users/my_user_name/Documents/test/test.mp4';//or use some OS CONSTANT?

var result = window.cep.fs.writeFile(path, this.response, cep.encoding.Base64);

if (0 == result.err) {

console.log(’write succes’, result.data);

}

else {

console.log(’write error: ’, result.err);

}

};

xhr.send();

};

downloadFile(’http://someurl.com/my.mp4’);

Thanks!

install zxp fails in CC host on Windows

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 23 May 2014 20:30:00 GMT

hi,

I can install my hybrid (flash) extension in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC on Mac,

and CS6 on Windows with the corresponding Extension Managers.

The (updated) CC Extension Manager on Windows however fails to install the zxp for ( the up to date) Premiere.

Although I managed to install previous versions,

I wonder if I have my current .mxi is correct, since some things changed when CC entered,

which can be confusing when creating your mxi.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<macromedia-extension id="myExtension" name="myExtension" requires-restart="true" version="0.9.7">

<license-agreement/>

</products>

<![CDATA[my description text...]]>

</description>

<files>

</files>

</macromedia-extension>

Please let me know if you see any missing, redundant or incorrect tags,

id, name, author name and name of zxp are all the same, had no problems with that before,

thanks,

Jeff.

background color HTMLLoader

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:19:51 GMT

hi,

I'm using HTMLLoader to load a webpage and I'd like to change the background color of the HTMLLoader.

From the docs I understand that if I set paintsDefaultBackground to false and apply a color value to opaqueBackground,

the HTMLLoader should have that backgroundcolor. And setting opaqueBackground to null should make it transparent.

But I keep seeing the opaque white default bg color of the HTMLLoader. My code:

_html = new HTMLLoader();

//should show transparent html loader but doesn't work

_html.paintsDefaultBackground = false;

_html.opaqueBackground = null;

_html.width = stage.stageWidth;

_html.height = stage.stageHeight;

addChild(_html);

_html.load(new URLRequest("bla.com));

Any ideas would be very welcome!

thanks,

Jeff.

get the version of the host app

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 01 Sep 2013 11:33:18 GMT

Hi,

how can I get the version of the host app?

HostObject.getRoot() only gives me the name of the app, not if it's CS6 or CC

(in my case I'm working with Premiere).

And are there any online docs available for these libs?

thanks,

Exchange data between hosts with CSXSEvent

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:23:11 GMT

hi,

Is there a way to send data from a panel in one host to a panel in another?

I was hoping that I could use the data property of CSXSEvent, like this:

var data:XML= new XML();

data = <project></project>;

data.@project = currentView;

var ev:CSXSEvent = new CSXSEvent("leaveAppEvent", CSXSEventScope.GLOBAL, XML(data))

CSXSInterface.instance.dispatchEvent(ev);

But although I receive the data in the other app, data outputs null:

CSXSInterface.instance.addEventListener("leaveAppEvent", refreshView);

protected function refreshView(event:CSXSEvent):void

{

trace("ExchangeDataTest refreshView scope: " + event.scope);//outputs GLOBAL

trace("ExchangeDataTest refreshView data: " + event.data);//outputs null

}

Or is the data property not meant to be used like this?

Two other options:

Use LocalConnection, is this possible between CS panels in different hosts?

Write a local file when host app loses focus and load it into the other app when it gets focus

Thanks!

Jeff.

Status of ICS/LCCS and requirements to build a mobile app

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 04:18:31 GMT

hi,

I'm struggling to get a simple LCCS test working for Android.

I only see a couple of examples on the inernet and am wondering what SDK and Flash Builder version I should use.

It sounds like at this moment you still need to use Flex 4...

Now I am using Flash Builder 4.6 and the 4.6 SDK.

I took the LCCS source from the Influxis github (ICS).

One of the errors many people seem to have - and so do I - is:

'ConnectSessionContainer' declaration must be contained within the <Declarations> tag, since it is not assignable to the default property's element type 'mx.core.IVisualElement'. Which has smt to do with that container not being a Spark component?

Something simple I try to do in the home view of a ViewNavigatorApplication:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView"

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

xmlns:rtc="http://ns.adobe.com/rtc"

<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>

<rtc:LocalAuthenticator id="auth" userName="AnyArbitraryUsername" />

<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="cSession" authenticator="{auth}" roomURL="http://localhost/account/AnyArbitraryRoom" width="100%" height="100%" >

<mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">

<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%" >

<rtc:Note width="100%" height="100%" />

<rtc:SimpleChat width="100%" height="100%" />

</mx:VBox>

<rtc:SharedWhiteBoard width="100%" height="100%" />

<rtc:Roster id="userList" width="100%" height="100%" showMenuButtons="false" displaySelection="true" />

</mx:HBox>

</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>

</s:View>

I hope someone can shed a light on the status of the current ICS lib.

Thanks!

Jeff.

launch executable from within extension

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 18:45:01 GMT

hi,

is it possible to launch an executable from within extension, as it is in a regular desktop AIR app?

Where you'd use code like this:

if(NativeProcess.isSupported)

{

var file:File = File.desktopDirectory;

file = file.resolvePath("myOtherExtension.zxp");

var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();

nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;

var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();

process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);

}

But in a desktop AIR app you'd need to add

<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop desktop</supportedProfiles>

in the AIR descriptor file, which an extension obviously doesn't have.

thanks,

Jeff.

automatic update cs extensions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 May 2012 09:28:25 GMT

hi,

I'm trying to build in a automatic updater for my cs extension as described in this Adobe pdf,

but it's not working yet.

Let me describe my steps so far:

I have my extension - version 1.0 - installed in the host (Illustrator and Premiere)

With this zxp I have an mxi installed with an update tag:

<update>http://www.server.com/bla/update.xml</update>

and the version set to 1.0:

<macromedia-extension name="com.example.bla" requires-restart="true" version="1.0">

I also have set the version number in the manifest.xml here:

<ExtensionList>

<Extension Id="com.example.pond5eb.extension1" Version="1.0"/>

</ExtensionList>

Then I change smt in the extension (maybe not even necessary?), change the manifest version to 1.1, build it and upload it to my server,

and I create an update.xml with the zxp path and the new version number, which I also upload to my server:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ExtensionUpdateInformation>

<version>1.1</version>

<download>http://www.server.com/bla/zxp/bla.zxp</download>

<description>

<![CDATA[All bugs are fixed!<br>Everything works!]]>

</description>

</ExtensionUpdateInformation>

I also change the version in this mxi:

<macromedia-extension name="com.example.bla" requires-restart="true" version="1.1">

But nothing happens when I restart the host and open the extension panel. That's the moment

the user should get the update message, right?

Any help is highly appreciated,

thanks,

Jeff.

Export FCPXML, effects not translated

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 22 May 2012 10:29:50 GMT

hi,

when I export a project in Premiere CS6 that has effects as fcpxml, it generates this FCP Translation Results text file

telling me that the effect was not translated, or when it doesn't, the effect

values are set to default in the xml like the following node for a gaussian blur effect:

<name>Gaussian Blur</name>

<effectid>Gaussian Blur</effectid>

<effecttype>motion</effecttype>

<mediatype>video</mediatype>

<parameterid>radius</parameterid>

<name>Radius</name>

</parameter>

</effect>

</filter>

Can Premiere CS6 export xml including effects? Is there an overview of what is possible?

And how does this work for transitions (which I haven't tried out yet)?

I haven't tried this in older PPro versions btw.

Thanks!

Move tooltip CSXSWindowType.TOOLTIP

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:03:56 GMT

hi,

I'd like to show and hide a tooltip window, and it works, but the position of the window is always at the top left of the screen (the monitor screen).

Is there a way to position it, for example relative to the current mouse position?

My code for showing the window:

_preview = new PreviewWindow();

_preview.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onPreviewClose, false, 0, true);

_preview.showStatusBar = false;

_preview.type = CSXSWindowType.TOOLTIP;

_preview.open();

PrreviewWindow is an mxml Window component.

Setting _preview.x moves the content of the window to the right but keeps the window itself at the top left of the screen.

Thanks,Jeff.

Error #3200: Cannot perform operation on closed window.

hi,

I'm simply trying to open a new window in a CS extension but when testing it inside Premiere as well as Illustrator it gives me the error

Error #3200: Cannot perform operation on closed window.

When I test it as a standalone desktop app, it works fine.

I tried it with an mxml Window component, and also with code, like:

var newWindow:Window = new Window()

newWindow.title = "New Window";

newWindow.width = 200;

newWindow.height = 200;

newWindow.open(true);

I'm using a WindowedApplication.

java.lang.NullPointerException Animation start problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:11:44 GMT

hi,

after I finally managed to install Flash Builder 4.6 , I am getting an error as shown in the screenshot, ech time I compile

'Animation start' has encountered a problem.

An internal error occurred.

java.lang.NullPointerException in FB 4.6

This happens in a totally blank new project as well as in an existing older one, and in an Actionscript Mobile project as well as a Flex project.

Btw, I can still compile the project, and the console doesn't show the error. I haven't tried yet to package a mobile project to see if that still works.

But it is quite annoying of course to get that error popup at every compile. Could this be a bug?

Updating to Flash Builder 4.6 plugin

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:13:44 GMT

hi,

I have FB 4.5(.1) as an Eclipse plugin. Now I want to upfate/upgrade to the 4.6 plugin.

I read http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/921/cpsid_92180.html

but it confuses me. So before I remove anything:

I this a free update?

If so, will the update recognize my serial key when I first uninstall 4.5?

How about all the SDK's in my 4.5 sdks folder? Will I loose them?

And hence, should I overlay again the AIR SDK after updating?

thanks,

Requested extension could not be found

hi,

I'm trying out the Native Extension examples, and for each of them I'm getting the same error, when I use the project included in the

I was expecting that these examples would be 'ready to go'.

Any idea why the extension cannot be found?

The path to the swc is set correctly and the linkage type is set to external.

Or should I also include the .ane file, and if so, how and where?

Error opening air 3 app

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:58:55 GMT

Hi,

I've installed the AIR 3 SDK, and when I first packaged an app, setting the version to 3.0 in the app xml,

a package was created. However, when I tried to install that, it gave me the error in the screenshot.

Then I thought it must be the old air application installer that caused the problem. Which it did,

because when I uninstalled it and manually downloaded and installed the Air Application Installer for Air 3,

it worked.

This makes sense because AIr 3 is not officiclally released. But I just would like to have that confirmed:

Is it so that when you package an AIR 3 app, and a user tries to install it, that

this error will always occur, and the AIR installer is not downloaded automatically?

Thanks,

Jeff.
