Think about it this way, you're not really supposed to be mixing them, they are supposed to be complimenting each other. Your HTML defines your content, and that's it. Your CSS adds fonts, colors, positioning, and simple interactivity, that's it. Your JS adds logic to your project. So you're not actually mixing everything together, you're leveraging each one to add an integral piece to your project. You may take on all these jobs yourself, or you may not. Some companies have frontend developers who do HTML/CSS and dedicated Javascript developers to only do JS. It's a different way of thinking than using one platform for everything. It can be unnerving trying to keep up with all of the new JS frameworks that are constantly coming up, and even worse trying to integrate them all. Trust me, I get paid to do it. Fortunately there's a massive community to fall back on when it comes to troubleshooting. If you're building Flex apps you'd definitely like Angular, which you would use with Cordova to publish to iPad. Basically, Cordova is part of Phonegap, which is a build system for deploying to mobile devices. Phonegap will wrap your code in a native app with a web view, so it's essentially a website being viewed in an app. Cordova is a javascript library that exposes all the native APIs of iOS/Android, so now your app can do much more than a website. I have used XCode on a Mac to test my Phonegap apps. IIRC, the native wrapper isn't changing, only the internal HTML/CSS/JS, so you don't have to compile like you would with a native app. I also used this to my advantage by building parts of the app in-browser. You could use Angular to structure your app in a MVC-like pattern, and then use Phonegap to deploy it. Also, I've switched to using Sublime Text 3 as my editor of choice, and I can't recommend it enough. Hopefully that helps!

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
The rumors of Flash dying are overblown. The Flash and AIR runtimes are still great at what they do. Apple pulled a stunt to shame Flash, but the truth is that they just wanted to protect their appstore. They didn't want to kill Flash. They wanted to kill Flash apps in the browser. They have succeeded, within their target market. Developers obeyed the dictators and moved to the appstore. The runtime remains great. John McCormack skriver: Very comprehensive!

I just have to add, the rumors of Flash dying are overblown, is correct. Flash isn't dying, its already dead. Doesn't matter how good the runtime is, it's hardly used much anymore compared to what it used to be. Sorry, I don't mean to be snarky, but I just don't agree with the Flash isn't dead idea.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
The problem here is developers not stating what runtime they use for their apps. What can be done is checking existing apps for obvious signs of the runtime. Shouldn't take long for someone to crawl the appstore and check all the apps for the fingerprint of the runtime.

You can apply for a license to (re)distribute the Air runtime and then
package it with your application.

Or you can include a captive copy of the Air runtime with your
application.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air3-install-and-
deployment-options.html
The first option will install the Air runtime with your application,
as
if
the user installed it himself, so it's separated from your
application,
meaning both your application and the Air Runtime can be uninstalled
separately.
The second options installs both as a bundle. When a user uninstalls
your
app, the runtime gets uninstalled with it.

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
Easiest way is probably the app with runtime embedded option. And if that is similar to how it works in Flash Builder (Flex), you'll then need installer software to create a custom executable. As stated in the article: quote The resulting set of files is a complete AIR application, including a captive copy of the AIR runtime. It can then be packaged as an installer using several different approaches. /quote The different approaches are further explained in the article.

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.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR
content created today will still run in the future, independent of where air itself is going. Unless you're using the HTML component to load external (http) content which you have no control over. Webkit (the browser engine AIR uses) currently doesn't support HTML 5 very well. For instance, I was trying to load a web IRC client (https://kiwiirc.com/), which simply doesn't work because it uses HTML 5 features. Another app I had just finished - and worked perfectly - suddenly broke, because an html page I was loading upgraded to HTML 5. If you have full control over the things you're creating, you're good to go, just be careful when relying on things you have no control over. Moving forward, we'll see more and more HTML 5 content out there. AIR (webkit) needs to catch up, fast.. like.. yesterday. regards Peter On 19 May 2013 15:08, Hans Wichman hans.wich...@gmail.com wrote: Hi John, content created today will still run in the future, independent of where air itself is going.

Webkit is dragging its feet, is exactly why Google pulled away from Webkit and has gone over to their render engine Blink. Apple is not interested in pushing HTML5 acceptance in webkit, just like they didn't want Flash around either. They want you buying apps through the App/iTunes store and paying them for their use. If you can play and use great apps on the web for free (with HTML5 OR Flash), they don't make their 30%. They better wake up fast. John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR
I have built approximately a dozen AIR apps for a educational publishing house that deliver on PC and MAC. With minimal changes, mostly fileIO (saving and loading previous game) it took me about a day to convert each app to run on an iPad, beta test and then submit to the iTunes store for approval. It has worked quite well. John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR
That sounds very good. Is it hard to get the public's interest in them? I have sold CDs into the education market. Another is on the way: decimals fractions msi (beta)... http://www.easypeasy.co.uk/atm/ I really need to be selling cheaply to a wider market and AIR, rather than C++, will allow me to produce programs more quickly. Your experience is very encouraging. I wonder what the raw numbers are for AIR products sold, vs Javascript (say). John On 20/05/2013 17:27, John R.

[Flashcoders] AIR installer
Howdy all, Well its been so long since I had a machine that didn't have AIR on it and I didn't see specific info on the Adobe site, if a person has never installed an AIR file on their system before, when they try to run an .air file does the installer tell the user they need to install AIR on their system or does it take them to Adobe to get AIR for their system?

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR WebKit vs iTumes WebKit
Apple is doing all it can in order to make Flash fail (with some success), so that's certainly the case here. Sorry not to have more information. Is there a conflict between AIR and iTumes on Windows? I've been getting sporadic crashes on Windows 7 from WebKit.dll when using HTMLLoader. Seeing suggestions to uninstall iTunes I tried it and haven't experienced a crash since. Would like to confirm that that was the problem but can't find any definitive information that there can be a conflict. _ _ _ Erik Mattheis | Weber Shandwick P: (952) 346.6610 M: (612) 377.2272 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR and external mp3's
Hi John,
Yes, I have a couple apps out their on iPad. One specifically does indeed
play external mp3s loaded from a sub directory. It also records and plays
back wavs.
All doable.
I haven't responded because I did the last one approximately 10 months ago
and really don't recall the details. I do vaguely remember some hurdles,
but I think most of the struggle revolved around recording sounds.
I just found where I loaded the mp3 - perhaps this helps?
public static function playMP3File(sound_id:String):void
{
var existFile:File = File.applicationDirectory .resolvePath(mp3s/sound_ +
sound_id + .mp3);
if(existFile.exists)
{
sound_playing = true;
existFile.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onfileOpenLoad);
existFile.load();
function onfileOpenLoad(evt:Event):void
{
existFile.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onfileOpenLoad);
var song:Sound = new Sound()
song.load(new URLRequest(existFile.url));//nativePath
mp3channel = song.play();
mp3channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,
doSoundComplete);
}
function doSoundComplete(e:Event):void
{
mp3channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, doSoundComplete);
sound_playing = false;
}
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR and external mp3's
Hi John, Yes I have developed apps that use external mp3 files, that was a last year so I'm trying to remember if we had any gotchyas. It should work. Are you sure you are bundling the mp3 files properly with your app so they exist on the iPad? If I come up with any ideas I'll let you know. cheers, Rob On 2012-03-15, at 2:25 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?
Hi David, What you can do is create and run an AIR app on startup of the users machine, respond to the idleTime property and show some media or text accordingly. The only thing is that it won't show up in the screeensavers list on the appropriate OS. I think the SPF app has something similar: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/samples_actionscript.html Also look at: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApplication.html#idleThreshold As for OS agnostic software to create screensavers, take a look at http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/ i used that in the past an has a lot of extra API's you can use and well documented. It is also a bit pricy... but if you are creating this for a client maybe you can try to put this on their invoice as expenses (of make a deal with the client so they pay for it). Hope this steers you in a good direction, Best, Sidney -- Sidney de Koning - Be a geek, rockstar style!

I left out some of the code in which I'm trying to account for receiving the
object during separate ProgressEvents - my my ProgressEvent handler:
_socket.readBytes(_socketData);
if (_socketData.length _messageLength) {
// more data coming, exit the event handler and wait for the next
ProgressEvent
break;
}
trace('whole message assembled');
processData(_socketData); // function that expects the ByteArray
_socketData.clear();
Nonetheless, I'm testing the client and server on the same box and can tell the
whole message is being received from traces.

I left out some of the code in which I'm trying to account for receiving the
object during separate ProgressEvents - my my ProgressEvent handler:
_socket.readBytes(_socketData);
if (_socketData.length _messageLength) {
// more data coming, exit the event handler and wait for the next
ProgressEvent
break;
Is it possible that _messageLength is not correctly initialized at this
point? I suspect that it may contain a stale value. The correct value
when waiting for the length is 4.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
In my server app I was performing ByteArray.writeObject(MyObjectToSend) to assemble MyByteArray and then again using Socket.writeObject(MyByteArray) when actually sending it. This created an AMF encoded object within an AMF encoded object, oops. Once I discovered this error I was able to fix a few other errors that didn't elude me quite as much. Thanks all!

[Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
In a the client of a client/server AIR app I have:
function onSocketData(event:ProgressEvent) : void {
var result = _socket.readObject();
// do something with result
}
How can I be sure the whole object is available before I try to use it?
Things work as expected most of the time, but with large pieces of data or on
laptops will hang when operating over a wireless connection, so I suspect the
object is spread out over multiple ProgressEvents.
I can only find pseudo code illustrating what you should do reassemble an AMF
object received in separate ProgressEvents.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
Hi,
Are you sure that this is not something server-side?
I have had similar problems which were compounded when using Wireless
connections - we traced the fault back to the server code giving up
filling the socket buffer when it got a buffer full event?
Apart from that you could use some sort of paradigm like:

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
Basic TCP rules says that you are sending an octet stream. All socket APIs are optimized for bulk access to avoid silly performance issues due to lots of function calls (and possible mode switches). This means that you MAY get more than one object in one go and that you MAY get only a part of the object(s) at the ends of the buffer. You need to separate data manually. You have three strategies: * Fixed size (easy, not flexible) * Terminator (slightly tricky with buffers, flexible, possible escaping issues, slight overhead) * Transmitted size (easy with buffers, flexible, slight overhead) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
I've not considered it may be a server issue. The server is also an AIR app - looking at the documentation there doesn't seem to be any events related to sending data over sockets - is it possible to tell if data was successfully written to the socket?

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
I've been unsuccessful at finding an example of a functional AS app which uses
one of the second two approaches, I can only find broad descriptions of what
needs to happen.
It appears that Socket.bytesAvailable functions differently depending on the
version of AIR, either representing the number of bytes which haven't yet been
read or the cumulative total of bytes sent over the socket.
If I have to do this without looking at functional examples, how would one
transmit a terminator byte or byte size while using Socket.writeObject()?
Perhaps the reason I can't find examples is it's not even a good idea to try?
The problem I'm trying to solve is to transmit an instance of a class like this
from the server app and reassemble it on the client:
package mn.webershandwick.firebell.data {
import fl.data.DataProvider;
public class SiteVO extends Object {
public var siteId:String;
public var posts:Array;
public var profilesDataProvider:DataProvider;
public function SiteVO() {}
}
}
Socket.writeObject and Socket.readObject does everything for me but fails
consistently when the amount of data held in the variables is large and
intermittently at any size over a wireless connection.

[Flashcoders] AIR app - possible to dynamically unzip?
Hi everyone, I would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction for this one. We're building an AIR for Android app which is basically a collection of 20 elearning scenarios. Each scenario is a sequence of activities that uses assets such as XML, MP3, JPG and F4V files. There would probably be about 70 files used in a scenario. The files sit on a server somewhere to be called on by the app. The current model of the app downloads the files as they're needed. ie, whenever the user starts a new activity in a scenario, their phone would have to be connected to the internet to load those (sometimes large) files. Needless to say, this could get quite annoying if you were using the app on a train, then got stuck in a tunnel for an hour (which ironically would be the perfect time to use the app, what with all that time to kill). So we thought it would be a better idea to download all the assets required for a scenario, store them on the phone, then have the app read them from local storage. That way, you could get it set up the night before over wifi or something. So these are my questions: 1) What approach would you take for packaging up the files? For example, would you have them in a zip file, which the user downloads, and the app somehow extracts dynamically? (If so, how would you do this please?) 2) Are there any steps we can take to protect our files from discovery/redistribution? As a language learning company, my work is somewhat anxious about users being able to just mount the drive and pass the files on to all and sundry. The content is where most of the budget goes, what with the writing, filming, recording etc. If there is no way to protect the files, I imagine we will have to stick with the current model of downloading files as needed. Thanks very much for any help, CB. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AIR app - possible to dynamically unzip?
First of all, there is no protection in the current design. And you can never make one that will do squat. Second, there are libraries to work with zip files. I have used one myself, not too hard. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] AIR + AS2.0
Hi All, I am developing an application for adobe AIR. The code for the application is written in as2.0. I am using HtmlLoader class to load the html file which has the actionscript 2.0.swf file embedded in it. The structure goes like this FLEX/AS3.0(Desktop Application)HTMLLoader Object--HTMLFile (having a Actionscript 2.0 swf file) Some part of the application like file Handling, handling images is done in AS3.0(In Flex Builder). The communication part is working great. But when I use Alert.show method in Flex. The modal transparency of the alert method does not seem to work and it shows greyish-white background for the alert. I want to make this background transparent. Any Help or suggestion in this regard would be great. Regards Sumeet Kumar ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
