Packager for iPhone

Special Update from Adobe:
September 9, 2010
Apple’s recent announcement that it has lifted restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines has direct implications for the Packager for iPhone. The feature is available for developers to use today and we will now resume development work on this feature for future releases. This is great news for developers and we’re hearing from our developer community that new AIR applications for iOS devices are already being approved for the Apple App Store. We do want to point out that Apple’s restriction on Flash content running in the browser on iOS devices remains in place.

Using FlashVars in AS3

Some time we have to get some path or values from *.swf container page (HTML). The one option is Flashvars. Here are the details to get values from Flash vars.

In HTML file please add
In <script> 
        AC_FL_RunContent(
                ‘flashVars’, username=RITESH’,
in <noscript> Add one param tag
             <param=”flashVars” value=”username=RITESH” />

If you have used swfobject then
        var params = {
                flashvars: “username=RITESH”,

In case of more than one values just add “&” to separate same as query string, like
        username=Ritesh&id=5&dob=27/01/1978

In Flash, you can get the values by using :
        var uName = root.loaderInfo.parameters.username;
        trace(uName);

Hope this will help. You will have run time errors, when you publish the Fla, but do not worry :) run it from HTML.

Good News for Flash to Iphone Application developers

Good News for Flash to Iphone Application developers. Finally Apple decided to relaxing restrictions. and Adobe also announced about resuming work on its Flash-to-iPhone system for Flash Professional CS5.

Statement by Apple on App Store Review Guidelines

Apple is relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.

 Cheers!!

Flash Animation with Browser Scrolling

Today, while searching an issue related to browser scrolling using Flash I visited a superb site which includes Flash Animation with Browser Scrolling with awesome concept ♥.

Check out this Flash Site: http://producten.hema.nl/

After loading just wait and Watch. You will love to see what happens on your screen. It is a good concept to show your product page as well.

MP4 with RTMP using Amazon streaming services

Yesterday Night (for Developer night is day. J), we were stuck in a situation when MP4 file was not working with RTMP path but the FLV was working from same path, using Amazon streaming services.

Tried every possible way, and searched Google as well, but unable to find any solution. Finally my colleague Mr. Parag Shah reached on one solution.  So let’s start to go for Solution:

Basic requirements to run MP4 files from Flash Media Server is

  1. Flash CS5 (if you use Flash CS4 you need to download Adobe FLVPlayback 2.5.0.15)
  2. RTMP Server (Flash Media server 3.0)
  3. Very important The MP4 file should be public (along with necessary folder permissions too).

 We were using the path as below in FLVPlayBack component.

rtmp://rtmpserver/mp4testfolder /mp4:test.mp4

As per specification from other blogs we used prefix mp4: in front of the file where as the solution is to user the mp4: prefix in front of folder (in case of both MP4 and F4V).

rtmp://rtmpserver/mp4:mp4testfolder /test.mp4

If file is FLV only you just need use path and no prefix required.

rtmp://rtmpserver/flvtestfolder/test.flv

Other than this, just ignore any authoring time errors in Flash IDE while giving the content path. Upon publishing they will work.

Our path is for Amazon. We assume that people using Amazon hosting and streaming services are aware of the other processes like creating streaming distribution etc. So we checked ‘View Permissions’ for ‘Everyone’ under ‘Grantee’ for all MP4 files, in the respective S3 bucket.

Flash Media Server software tools are very useful for FMS developers.

Hope, This will help. Would love to see your comments.

setRGB is not working in As 3.0

When we migrating AS2 to As3, setRGB will not work. Check this how it will work.

import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var target:MovieClip = backgroundMc;
// Target MovieClip
var colorValue:Number = parseInt(“0×00000″);
var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = target.transform.colorTransform;
newColorTransform.color = colorValue;
target.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;

Disable Clipboard using Flash or Javascript

Some Time for security, we need to block clipboard. Here is the code to block Clip-Board using Flash Or Javascript
 
From Flash
**************************************
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
System.setClipboard(“As long as this page is open your copy/paste
functionality has been disabled.”);
}
************************************
From Javascript

<style media=”print”>
body {
display : none;
}

 </style>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload=setInterval(“window.clipboardData.clearData()”,20)>
Try to catch me :)
