Re: [Flashcoders] Where is everyone
I've done no complex Flash for a couple years and also can find answers to my problems on stackexchange and blogs much easier than a few years ago. On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 12:10 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
How is HAXE/OpenFL for compiling to native mobile devices? Any libraries allow it to access device features or does it still compile a web app into a native wrapper?

Seriously I've been using Haxe for years now, mostly to make programming server side and javascript much much easier coming from AS3. I've tapped prbably 5% of it's potential ;) It's awesome.

Re: [Flashcoders] fscommand launching of externals
Just making sure you know you can do this with the AIR NativeProcess class, seems like you need it to be a SWF? If so could you lauch a single BAT file that would in turn launch all the EXEs?

Sweeney Jr. jr.swee...@comcast.net wrote: Howdy all, My client wants to have about 12 different exe files launched from a single Flash front-end projector and much of their content has same named files, hence I need sub-folders. All of my research indicates that an external .exe file must reside inside of a folder called fscommand and you cannot path down to sub-folders. Does anyone know of a way to launch .exe files from a Flash projector into a fscommand folder and then into sub-folder? Example: fscommand(exec,sub_1/start.exe); then fscommand(exec,sub_2/start.exe); and so on. Thanks in advance for any help, John John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Air Windows installed app
In your code, change every File.applicationDirectory to File.

have xml in the folder data in the same folder as exe file with app.
Yes, there is something wrong: you are violating all the guidelines
about correct filesystem use.
Ask the user where to save data when reasonable, and default to a sane
location.
And never ever attempt to write to a location reserved for program
files, only installers are allowed to touch those folders.

Re: [Flashcoders] Air Windows installed app
I'm unsure the status of this or if someone has suggested any of the following: Are you saying the app doesn't work when using the installer but works as expected when copying the app folder somewhere outside of your clients Program Files folder? This will fail with default Windows settings as you need elevated permissions to change files withing the Program Files directory. If this is the case, look into writing the file to the app storage directory http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.html#applicationStorageDirectoryor the Documents directory http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.html#documentsDirectory As to Unknown Publisher you need to buy and include a security certificate in the publish settings: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/packaging-air-apps-desktop.html#articlecontentAdobe_numberedheader On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 1:02 AM, natalia Vikhtinskaya natavi.m...@gmail.com wrote: Not sure I understand how I can use this information in Flash Cs6.

The second options installs both as a bundle. When a user uninstalls your app, the runtime gets uninstalled with it. regards, Peter On 23/02/2014 7:28, natalia Vikhtinskaya wrote: Thank you for help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Printing to a PDF from Flash
Do they want to give them a PDF or a printed page?

Well now they want to take those custom presentations and print them out to a PDF to give to their client. They are on PC laptops. I've looked into purePDF and AlivePDF, but these solutions seem to be web solutions. This app is an AIR app, installed locally on each individual laptop as a stand-alone app with no NET connection. I suggested that they install a PDF driver on the laptop and I'd build the print function in the app to let them print to that selected PDF printer driver. They don't like that suggestion.
