AIR App, load externally hosted SWF which loads XML

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 22:43:42 GMT

I am wondering if this is even possible, because I am getting error 2148.

I am loading in SWF files that are externally hosted into an AIR app. Everything works great!

Is it possible to have one of these child SWFs load in some type of XML data or access an XML file on the desktop/tmp?

Or if need be, should I have the AIR app do all the loading (including the other XML) and pass that to the child SWF?

Thanks in advance!

In detail:

AIR app -> Loads SWFs

SWFS -> Load XML

SWF -> displays something or does something RAD!!!

Stuff I have tried:

Ive added an mms.cfg file in the proper places, as well as, changed my adobe security settings to allow access to a "tmp" folder on desktop. The loaded SWF from an external domain loads fine however it still shows an error 2148 when trying to access an XML file within the "tmp" folder on desktop. The SWF when published is also set to "access local files"

Porting existing Android native app to Adobe AIR

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:12:46 GMT

I indent to port a existing Android native app to Adobe AIR for android. Reasons: To use my existing AS3 skills, "cost" for native is too high and soon port it to iOS.

Difficulties I face here:

Existing app package, say "com.mygame.myapp" has to be retained. By using FB with AIR SDK, we get a "air." prefix to the package name. It becomes "air.com.mygame.myapp".
Will this solution still solve the problem in AIR SDK removing "air." prefix from package name has any working solution!?.
The help link http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/opt-out-air-application-analytics.html is dead now. iOS specific is found here Opt-out | Adobe AIR app analytics | iOS
Please suggest me a Mac suitable solution.
In Android, using a ".keystore" file, we need to export as the ".APK" file. In AIR, if we publish using a new ".p12" signature file would it be compatible with Google Play, and it rules.

App's existing users should find difficulty in upgrading the app.

Another unanswered thread Possible to remove "air." appended on package and target a .keystore rather than .p12?

Thanks a lot.

Cameraroll API that allows selection of web photos on Android

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 17:15:43 GMT

The latest version of Android 5.0 on Nexus devices do away with the 'gallery' app in favour of the 'photos' app. The problem is that users want to be able to select any image and not just ones local to device. The photos app actually blurs what is local vs cloud and you have to specifically navigate to 'on device'. I have a feeling the Nexus 6 might be a pretty successful device and since I have apps that use the cameraroll api, I am worried about getting complaints of non loading images because the current cameraroll api fails. Any one have a solution, an ANE? I had a custom ANE for intent pushed images to my app but not one for picking images. It would be awesome if cameraroll supported:

- cloud images from photos or other

- multiple image selection

Does anyone know if the failed selection via cameraroll api provides the content path back? I might be able to do something if I get the content path.

Year class: A classification system for Android - any thoughts?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 21:24:48 GMT

Facebook posted a few days ago how they no longer look at Android versions but instead look to hardware capabilities when developing their app(s):

Year class: A classification system for Android | Engineering Blog | Facebook Code | Facebook

A significant, and increasing, problem we have experienced over the past two years of deploying to Android isn't the fragmentation of the OS versions, rather the fragmentation of hardware.

Cheap Android devices are often shipping with v6 ARM CPUs but Air only supports V7.

These cheap Android devices can run the latest Android versions though which is hugely difficult to explain to clients. Clients think that since the latest devices can all run the latest Android version, why can't Air also support those same devices? A logical question to have but, understanding the lower power hardware doesn't always make sense to these clients.

Sure, it's a great marketing move by the hardware manufacturers who use the 'latest Android version' as a headline for shipping cheap old hardware! But, it makes it a nightmare for us Air developers.

I'm an electronics engineering graduate so I acutely understand both the hardware and software complications/implications of this situation but I'm wondering what we're going to do about.

A version of Adobe Air that would run on legacy ARM v6 would be great because a lot of cheap hardware still uses that form factor. Raspberry Pi for instance uses that CPU form and therefore being able to target that device with Adobe Air in the education market would be a HUGE opportunity! Also, the 'internet of things' could be a huge market for Air developers who could adopt such hardware as the Raspberry Pi. I do though, as I hint above, appreciate the development and resource costs for supporting that older CPU core though.

So, I wanted to throw this out there to see what other people think - both developers and Adobe themselves...

Is there a solution out there? Or can we, as a community, create a solution?

Crash on "video.attachCamera" with front camera (S3, Android)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 20:28:45 GMT

Hi,

I'm developing a camera app with Adobe Air (version 15.0.0 build 302). I would appreciate any help with this really weird bug that I found.

In the Samsung S3 device, attaching the front camera to a Video instance always results in the app crashing. After the crash, the camera becomes unusable by any app on the device. The device must be reset in order to restore the camera. After many tests, I know that the app crashes when the "video.attachCamera" method is called.

This is the relevant piece of code:

this.cameraPos = CameraPosition.FRONT;

this.camera = this.getCamera(this.cameraPos);

this.camera.setMode(640, 640, 30);

this.video = new Video(640, 640);

this.video.attachCamera(this.camera); // crash!

private function getCamera(position:String):Camera

{

for(var i:int=0; i<Camera.names.length; i++)

{

var c:Camera = Camera.getCamera(String(i));

if(c.position == position) return c;

}

return Camera.getCamera();

}

The same code works fine in other Android devices. Listing all available cameras show that both (back and front) cameras are available in the S3. And the front camera works fine when I use CameraUI.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

How to partially copy a SQLITE database/table

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 10:43:33 GMT

Hi Everybody,

I have an AIR application which uses a local Sqlite database.

I want to take a backup of my application. For that I have to copy some table data/rows from the database as SQL queries.

Requirement is a user can later import the stored things into the application, during which the copied table/data should be inserted into the new database.

I think retrieving each record individually and making insert query from the values and saving in a text file and then later at the time of importing executing those insert queries one by one

is a really expensive and time taking job. (As I have thousands of records)

Please suggest me an efficient method to do this.

Regards,

Jameel

Native application (captive runtime) doesn't support GameInput?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 04:17:08 GMT

I've built a project originally for Flash Player, then for AIR with the GameInput API. With the addition of GameInput support in FlashPlayer 11.8, I've switched back to FP. The game supports controller input through the GameInput API when built as SWF/AIR.

However, when I package it using the -adt command using -target bundle (resulting in a captive runtime native EXE), controller support is lost. A check on launch for GameInput.isSupported returns true as SWF/AIR, but false as EXE with no changes to the project/build.

Any idea if there's a way to get isSupported to register as true and keep my GameInput functionality in a native EXE?

launching Air Captive runtime by double clicking file does not pass location in arguments

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 05:39:41 GMT

I am trying to make my Air Captive Runtime Mac OS X app respond correctly when the user double clicks on a file type associated with the app.

I have set up the invoke event listener to capture location of the file that the user has clicked to launch the app stored in the event.arguments variable.

In the following simple test I just print out the length of the arguments passed in when the app is invoked. This is the behavior I am seeing:

1. when I launch the app from the command line with 2 args,

open test.app --args arg1 arg2

I get "2" as expected for the arguments length.

2. If the app is already open and I double click a file with a type associated with the app. It correctly invokes the app and passes in the path to the file that was clicked. Length is 1 as expected and the content is the path to the file.

3. However, if I just double click the same associated file when the app is not open, the app launches correctly, however no arguments are passed. Length is 0 and there is no way to know what file the user double clicked.

here is code:

var debugOutput = new TextField();

addChild(debugOutput);

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);

function onInvoke(e:InvokeEvent):void

{

debugOutput.text = e.arguments.length;

}

Any thoughts on what might be going on?

I need to know how .air installation/update works under the hood

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 09:31:34 GMT

Hi, we always get support tickets with people that can't install or upgrade the applications we build with AIR, the error they get is that the "installer is corrupted". This happens on Windows.

We tried all the workarounds we found but it did not work, I also tested with native installers and installation of native installer worked fine.

What I want is to know exactly how installation of .air files works, what programs perform this, how to configure them, how to read the logs, we need to figure out what is the problem and fix it.

P.S. it would be great if AIR developers could find a way to put a better error message.

Developing for all four iPhone resolutions - how do you go about it?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 02 Nov 2014 19:35:53 GMT

With iPhone 6 out, developing for both iPhone 4, 5, 6 and 6 plus is a must. I'm pretty new to considering adaptive interfaces / content when developing apps, so I'm looking for strategies on how to approach it.

My current case example is a graphic novel-type app. The development process is going to be short, so I'm looking to make an app that just displays in fullscreen on all phones, not necessarily taking advantage of the higher pixel densities. A lot of the content is bitmap pages that need to take up the full screen on all resolutions.

So what are your general strategies for going about this? As I see it, the first issue is the two different aspect ratios. The iPhone 4 is 3:2 whereas all the others are 16:9, so my idea is to first detect if the ratio is 3:2 or not, and make the app either adapt to iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 depending on the result. Apple's automatic scaling of older apps should then take care of scaling up to iPhone 6 and 6+. Correct?

Secondly, what is the next step? Do I save all the bitmap pages of my graphic novel in a 640x960 version (iPhone 4) and a 640x1136 version (iPhone 5) separately, then load the right one at runtime depending on the aspect ratio detected?

Thirdly, if I work in Flash Pro with a 960x640 canvas size, do I then load the correct bitmap version and place it in the top left corner of the canvas because it will then extend to all the edges of the screen - or do I 'center' the iPhone 5 version outside the canvas to make it fit? (Meaning do I place the content at x = 0 for the iPhone 5 version, or at x = - ((1136 - 960) / 2) ?

I hope these questions make sense, especially the last one, and would like to hear how you would approach a project with a short deadline which just needs to run fullscreen on all iPhones.

[ANE] Prevent activity onDestroy to be called when app resumes

Black screen on orient after startup on iOS

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:57:21 GMT

We have a very odd bug happening... when the app auto-orients during startup, *sometimes* we get a black screen with working audio. We first noticed this happening on the the iPhone 6+; our landscape app, when the home button is on the left side, will start with the launch image upside-down, then auto-orient, and sometimes go to black. Sometimes this doesn't happen. When the app is launched with the home button on the right side, the launch image comes up right-side up, and it never black screens.

On all other devices, we don't see this initial upside-down launch image, regardless of starting orientation. However, if we launch the app with the home button on the right, then orient the device so that the home button is on the left before the launch image appears, *sometimes* it will black screen.

A few other items of note:
- we aren't listening for any orientation events
- we aren't listening for any resize events
- we can completely avoid the problem by changing autoOrients to false in the app xml, we'd just rather avoid that if there's another easy fix that allows us to keep auto-orientation

Adobe AIR memory leak loading SWFs

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 02:04:06 GMT

I was plagued by a memory leak that would crash my application after a few hours. The application had worked fine in the past but now was having issues and I thought it might have to do with using newer SDK's.

In the end I discovered that if I loaded external swf that had been compiled in debug mode, they would not clear completely on unload and cause a memory leak.

Compiling in release mode fixed the issue. Spent 3 days trying to figure it out.

Videos in StageWebView Playing Back at Double Size Under iOS 8

public var webView:StageWebView;

webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(this.x,this.y,374,221);

AIR Native Extensions. How to loop FREObject properties?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 16:48:29 GMT

Hello.

We're working on a new AIR Native Extension, the goal is to run javascript code inside AIR. However that's actually not directly related to the problem.

The problem itself:

- we need to pass some AS3-objects to the javascript runtime

- javascript runtime (SpiderMonkey) has a different GC, different memory aligning and a lot of other things, that differs from AIR

- the only suitable way for us is to iterate through AS3-Object properties and to create a mirror-object in SpiderMonkey

- we do not have such an API in FlashRuntimeExtensions.h which would allow us to iterate Object properties

So the question is - is there any way to iterate on AS3-Object properties in С/С++ side of a Native Extension?

If there is not than the only possibility for us is to use JSON-strings which is actually far from optimal.

Thanks in advance,

Denis

iTunes app rejected: app uses the iOS Advertising Identifier but does not include ad functionality

Hi,

my latest app version just got rejected for referencing

ANE for video ads?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 25 Oct 2014 09:47:20 GMT

I am looking to monetize a mobile app with video ads. It's been very difficult to find ANEs from services that offer video ads, as most of them only support banners and interstitials. I am hoping for feedback and suggestions on any extensions I'm not aware of.

RevMob's extension only seems to support video ads on iOS, but I cannot get their extension to serve ads on iOS and their support staff do not understand anything about AIR so that route was a bust. TapJoy's documentation is worse than a disaster, and their AIR extension throws hundreds of compiler errors and conflicts with other extensions I use, so they're out as well.

The only other service I'm aware of that ostensibly offers video ads is Vungle. Has anyone successfully used Vungle's AIR extension recently? Any other suggestions for ANEs that support video ads?

Problem installing Adhoc version to iPhone and iPad - Development Environment - Adobe Flash CS6

Hi,

I have successfully submitted 2 versions of the application. There are 2 different versions for iPad and iPhone separately. These were developed using Adobe Flash CS6 and AIR SDK - 4.0.0.1628. The category is Lifestyle and app is free.

Now I wanted to add new feature of push notification to both iPad and iPhone versions. I have successfully tested the development version with development profiles and certificates over iPad and iPhone.

Before submitting the app to Appstore I was trying to test the Adhoc version with production environment and profiles but application was not installing to the iPad, it is the same iPad that is used for development. But after searching forums and other help Adhoc version was not installed to iPad the solutions that were tried are as under:

1. Create new certificates and profile for Adhoc

2. Change Entitlement tags in Application xml file

3. Remove existing profiles from iPad to avoid error.

4. Update OS version of iPad to 8.1

But once I try to last point - [4] even development version is not installing. Because there are no provision profiles installed.

Can you please help/guide me how to fix it? I need to test both development and Adhoc versions on the iPad and iPhone.

Odd Timer Behavior

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:14:03 GMT

Hi,

I was working on an AIR application today and noticed some odd behavior with the Timer class. To isolate the problem, I created a stripped down file that contained only a simple timer and the problem persisted. In a nutshell a timer calls a function 5x that traces "tick" does the following: The first 2 times the function is called the trace appears as expected but then a delay ensues, perhaps 8 seconds, and then the last three traces ("ticks") appear together. If I make it a flash file, it works as expected-- all ticks appear 1 second apart.

I was doing some work in JAVA recently on the same system, and wonder if something I did there (e.g. installing the SDK) may be interfering with the AIR Debug Launcher.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Best,

C.S.

Stagewebview is not using the default browser?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 05:04:52 GMT

Hello community,

We encounter an issue regarding the userAgent we get with Javascript when our page is viewed from an Android App running Air and using the Stagewebview.

We noticed that despite the default browser set as Google Chrome (Webkit v.537), we identify that app using Webkit v.534.

After a lot of trouble shooting, it seems that there is a difference between "native" browser and "default" browser.

Is that correct?

If so, the question is: Is there a way to make Stagewebview use the user selected browser/engine ?

Our website needs to display text vertically (japanese text) and the form elements are not well recognized in the 534 version browser, but work perfectly in the last version of Chrome we can get running on those devices.

(We target Android 4.2+ users)

Any input will be appreciated.

Using AIR 15 (10/14/2014): Could not resolve to a component implementation.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:12:45 GMT

I want to update to the newest version of AIR so I can upload my ipa to App Store. Usually I get AIR from the Apache Flex SDK installer, but it only has the beta version of 15.0.0.183. I have instead downloaded the SDK from

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1603494

(AIR SDK 15 (Compatible with Flex) for Windows)

but when I compile, I get the following error:

Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigator> to a component implementation.

I have tried the following things:

* Downloaded AIR 15 SDK from Apache Flex and merged the new files into this SDK (same error)

* Downloaded AIR 15.0.0.183 beta from Apache Flex and merged the new files into this SDK (same error)

* Downloaded AIR 15.0.0.183 beta from Apache Flex (no error, but I don't know if Apple will accept this version)

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

BUG: getter and setter in 2 separate interfaces

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:59:18 GMT

In our current product we have 2 interfaces (Interface1 and Interface2), Interface2 extends Interface1.

In Interface1 we set the getter for a property, and in Interface 2 we set the setter for the same property, here is the code:

public interface ILoadable

{

function get ColorScheme():String;

}

	public interface IUploadable extends ILoadable
{

function set ColorScheme(value:String):void;

}

This was working fine in AIR SDK 3.5, but when we upgraded to SDK 15, we get this error:

Error: Cannot override an interface method. Method ColorScheme conflicts with a method in base interface ILoadable.

Is this a bug in the SDK? or is the new SDK more strict, not allowing a getter and setter being located in separate interfaces/classes?

Getting RevMob iOS extension to work, and LinkerOptions/platform.xml

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 03:17:58 GMT

Hello AIR community!

I am trying to implement RevMob ads in an app for a client using RevMob's AIR Native Extension (ANE). I have the extension successfully working on Android, but I don't see any ads on iOS.

RevMob's extension and documentation is located here: RevMob Adobe Air SDK In the iOS section, they have provided <LinkerOptions> and mention some changes to platform.xml. From my understanding, those things are only relevant when compiling an ANE, is that correct?

I tried asking RevMob for support on this but they don't seem to understand what I'm saying; they told me the directions are for Flash Builder and to make sure I was using Flash Builder. I don't, I use FlashDevelop, but I've used dozens of other extensions in FlashDevelop with no problem and I've never had to set LinkerOptions or modify a platform.xml to use an iOS extension. I would guess that they have failed to understand how to use an ANE after compiling it and there is probably a change needed to the <InfoAdditions> section of the app XML. Am I missing something here or is the fault on RevMob's end?

Finally, I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has gotten the RevMob ANE working on iOS and any special steps you had to follow that aren't listed in their documentation.

Much appreciated!

Android assets use double the storage space due to cache?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:49:21 GMT

I'm working on a game with a very large bundle of assets. What we're finding is that after install, the device needs to have slightly more than the original APK size as available storage space to run. This appears to be due to assets being copied out of the APK to the application cache when first accessed.

What we've experienced:

- With a lot of small separate files, our loading times are unreasonably slow (several *minutes* between scenes with ~100MB in assets).

- If we pack up the assets into a single large (>1GB) pack file and load them ourselves out of the APK, there's a ~60-second hit the first time the pack file is accessed during the first time the app is launched.

The initial loading time happens during FileStream.open(), and appears to be from the pack file being copied to the application cache. After that, loading data is nearly instantaneous. However, that fails if the device doesn't have enough available storage for the whole pack file.

Balancing these issues, we broke the assets into several pack files that are accessed when needed. The first access of each file is reasonable (10 seconds or less), and the initial launch of the app doesn't have the long delay as the file is cached.

The problem still remains that after the game has been running for a while, the device can still run out of storage space as it fills up the cache folder, even though we broke up the assets so only a small number of the asset pack files are ever needed at once. Presumably this is also a problem with the small individual assets, just on a more granular scale.

Assuming it isn't possible to break up the APK and download the files separately, is there any way to either (a) avoid the copy of the pack file to the cache on first access and read the data directly, or (b) programmatically remove the ones that are no longer in use (either on our own or by informing Air that it's okay to remove them)?

Update A Stage Component From A External Actionscript Class File/Package

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:22:29 GMT

I've created a "label" which I dragged onto the stage, and I have an external class that I need to be able to update this label. But right now, it as if the class has no idea the label exists.

The external file is somewhat setup like this:

package {

import....

....

...

public class Downloader extends EventDispatcher {

public function Downloader() {

...

}

----------------

I need a way to update the text for the label within that package. Can someone explain to me what extra steps are needed? I've searched online, but I'm just getting a ton of information which I feel isn't relevant to what I need, or it seems like they are over complicating things.

ANE packaging error

I've recently (2 month ago) built Adobe Air extension (ANE) which includes native iOS static library and it worked well.

Now, I'm getting error which is really strange: (undefined symbols for armv7 xxxInitializer)

I understand if it were undefined symbols CoreLocation it means I need to update platformoptions.xml to include such option, but seems like it is another issue.

static lib supports armv7 arch:

Per

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.
