The new Capabilities.hasMultiChannelAudio property, the new AudioDecoder class (containing constants representing several different multichannel audio types), and changes to the Capabilities.serverString property all allow developers to detect a device's multichannel audio capabilities and to stream the correct audio bitstream both from ActionScript and through RTMP. -- There is no plan for Flash to replace a home-theater multimedia player when Cyberlink product have much optimized code and video/audio decoder.

Flash is now in decline as a plugin technology. It will continue for a good few years yet, but it is trending downwards. Because its life as a plugin is drawing to an end, Adobe is seeking to reshape Flash as an app-building tool. This makes perfect sense, and if they do it well, they could manage to make an army of Flash/flex developers into app developers, which is not all bad. Adobe has read the writing on the wall and is putting a lot of effort into re-shaping themselves as the tool provider for HTML5. Certainly there is a need for great tools in this area, so I hope they succeed in doing this. Also, you might note with interest their purchase of nitobi, who make PhoneGap.

I've seen some mixed messages - Adobe's version which is just a change in focus while the industry reads it like a Flash obituary. Here are two bullets from Adobe's announcement: --from Adobe.com •Shifting resources to support even greater investment in HTML5, through tools like Adobe® Dreamweaver, Adobe Edge and PhoneGap, recently added through the acquisition of Nitobi •Focusing Flash resources on delivering the most advanced PC web experiences, including gaming and premium video, as well as mobile apps -- I can almost see them sitting around the board room table debating whether to stick that , as well as mobile apps on the end of bullet 2 just to leave people like us (Flex developers I mean) confused. Pretend you're a Samsung or Motorola executive planning the next release of your latest mobile device. Do we spend $10 million and 40 developers integrating Flash? Since the vast majority of new, innovative applications involve incorporation or embracing of mobile clients, Flash's ubiquity, which is/was its greatest selling point, is gone. I mean when Jobs took a stand to ban Flash from iOS - that was a phaser blast to the holodeck, but this...this is a photon torpedo to the bridge. Am I reading this wrong, or should I be starting my new HTML5 career now? I mean once flash is gone from mobile, it is gone as a general web application framework so forget those desktop focused applications too, except some specialized graphics oriented apps. I think of what I'm developing now on Flex and it would be years away from possible with HTML5 but maybe I should be focusing on HTML5 plus one of the better JavaScript frameworks? I'm really looking for some opinions here about what flex developers think of the near term future based on this announcement.

Re: [flexcoders] Could AIR create an automation app?
Not direct invocation but you can control them through NativeProcess that can pass a command of argument and received standard output from the application like Command Prompt. That right, AIR is made to be as portable as possible. For your case, you can use .Net or C# to automate those task. For easier coding, consider AutoIT which is widely use by System Admin to automate routine tasks, you can do a simple control like mouse and window position to advance control like hook DLL. I did used AutoIT in the past. On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 12:07 PM, MicC chigwel...@yahoo.com wrote: ** Does AIR have enough hooks to the os to create an automation app?

[flexcoders] SocketMonitor and XMLSocket
Using Flex 4.5 and AIR 2.7.
It seem to be buggy for 2 situations,
I declare a timer for the socket
private var socketTimer:Timer = new Timer(500,1);
Code 1:
This code took a few seconds before executing NativeProcess
public function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void {
socketMonitor = new SocketMonitor('127.0.0.1',8090);
socketMonitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, socketStatusChange);
socketMonitor.start();
}
private function socketStatusChange(e:StatusEvent):void {
if(socketMonitor.available==false xSo_start==false) {
xSo_start=true;
xSoDump(); //Execute NativeProcess EXE
}
}
Code 2 (Optimize):
This code will execute NativeProcess immediately but after a few mins,
NativeProcess will hang by itself without any error:
public function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void {
socketMonitor = new SocketMonitor('127.0.0.1',8090);
socketMonitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, socketStatusChange);
socketMonitor.start();
xSoDump();
}
private function socketStatusChange(e:StatusEvent):void {
}
Code 3 (Optimize):
This solve the hanging issue when I place xSoDump on the 2nd line.
public function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void {
xSoDump();
socketMonitor = new SocketMonitor('127.0.0.1',8090);
socketMonitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, socketStatusChange);
socketMonitor.start();
}
private function socketStatusChange(e:StatusEvent):void {
}
SoDump will execute a nativeprocess (Sodump.exe) which will setup a server
connection of 127.0.0.1:8090. So the server will interactive with XMLSocket.
Is SocketMonitor have any connection with XMLSocket?
In certain situation, NativeProcess will hang itself too, this lead me to
wonder if anyone encounter the same issue?
In code 2, I'm sure SocketMonitor has time out and close the XMLSocket
connection after it fail on the first try?
