Re: [Flashcoders] AIR and external mp3's

So no one has dabbled in iPad apps? That's a bit surprising or is that saying don't? :( John R. Sweeney Jr. Senior Interactive Multimedia Developer OnDemand Interactive Inc Hoffman Estates, IL 60169 On Mar 14, 2012, at 1:57 PM, John R. Sweeney Jr. wrote: Has anyone built a app in AIR

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.

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.

Say I have a save button that can exist in multiple views and can save multiple things. What's the best way to do this? Dispatch a different custom event from each type of button? Send one type of custom event with different parameters? I have a controller that listens for 28 different custom

Re: [Flashcoders] Dispatching events from V to C

How does the controller know about each command class? Is each instantiated by the controller? Do the command classes talk directly to the model or view or back through the controller? On 3/15/12 4:44 PM, Peter Ginneberge p.ginnebe...@telenet.be wrote:

Re: [Flashcoders] Dispatching events from V to C

How does the controller know about each command class? Is each instantiated by the controller? Yup, controller knows about command classes. This is the FrontController (part of my MVC framework), which the AppController extends. Might be able to view it in my repository, allthough i'm not
