Adobe Air will keep living or should move us on to HTML5!

Hello!

After reading these recent news, I noticed that they want to tell us that adobe Flash is to reach the end of the rope! Is this true?

(a reply from the Adobe creative team will be highly appreciated, for me and others who have read this post.)


My https://www.yahoo.com/Tech/s/Adobe-Flash-finally-Dead-183755537.html?soc_src=mail & soc_trk =


This will affect only the "Desktop" applications and web banners in Flash?

Or it also affect Mobile Applications written in Adobe Flash / Air packages?


So, I need to raise this question asked by another developer in 2013:

Re: Continue with Adobe AIR or move back in with HTML5?


It is now many years, I use Adobe Flash CS6 to develop Air for Mobile Applications, same source for iOS and Android. And everything works very well for our applications. So I have no knowledge of HTML5 or JAVA or anything except Flash and AS3.


It's time for us to developers to change our old tools? What will happen to our applications on the market that needs regular updates! What is the alternative do you propose!


Thank you and hope to receive an answer to this, soon.


Don't believe these articles stating that «Killed Adobe Flash» The only thing they have done is rename Flash Professional CC (the tool, not the player) to animate CC. everything will stay the same and probably take it from here.

Other news, Adobe has announced a collaboration with Facebook to improve the Flash Player, which is good news and a positive signal for the Flash Player.

  • Support fell to Adobe Air will affect Adobe Story on Linux?

  • What is Adobe AIR (and why should I develop in it)

    I'm just wonderi ng that Adobe AIR is, and how I could use it in my Flash development. In the main properties of my flash project I can choose which player turn on and AIR is available in this list. I have not yet tried. But what I win out to use it. Can I just move to Adobe AIR using all my Actionscript 3.0 code? If she adds no new API I can use for Actionscript 3.0 or is it a totally different language?

    Thanks in advance

    Then, you use the wrapper of aerial part or a third party for a flash projector.

    you have already paid for the air, so as long as requiring your application must be installed by users is acceptable, use air.

    and Yes, just change your publication settings and code you need by using the air api.

  • Japanese characters will not appear in TLF for Adobe AIR at all.

    Hello

    A more disappointing proplem for Japanese users were found.
    Japanese characters cannot be printed in all AIR version.
    Set AIR TLF, an alphabet hiragana or katakana and start typing > does not display the characters.

    What the reason of this evil, he can be? Is there a solution?


    (Tried on Windows XP and Vista, Adobe AIR 1.5.1)


    Kind regards

    text 2 bytes is not supported in the current version of AIR with TLF.  We agree that this support is very important and work on it for a future release.

    Hello

    Why you n t visit the Adobe page and see for yourself
    On the Adobe page, you will find info on all the need of hardware requirements.

    But to be honest, the Qosmio G30 is a powerful machine and strong performance.
    I think that it s not a problem of performance of the material, but maybe some software issue

    Maybe you should try to read downloaded using another player movie files.

  • Downlaod link in Adobe Air in Documents folder automatically without pop up dialog box...

    Hello

    Can someone help me understand or provide a code example on the method, I would need to take to download a file from the internet and automatically that Adobe Air stores this file somewhere on my computer (probably the Documents folder) and also not pop-up that keep in dialog?

    I'm downloading a file very well now, but the main problem is that the pop-up window comes up and ask me where I want to save the file. I didn't need to do that. I want to automatically record in a directory on my computer.

    Thank you guys

    A long time ago when I was first in the AIR, I created a downloader application to do essentially what you ask for. Here is the code for the part you need to download and save a file. If the file you download is generated dynamically, or has links to specific reference, you will have to do something fancy to know the file extension to know what should be the full file name. I just tested the code for download of an image and the file for the FileStream ASDoc HTML

    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.filesystem.File;
    import flash.filesystem.FileMode;
    import flash.filesystem.FileStream;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.net.URLStream;
    import flash.utils.ByteArray;
    
    var documentsDirectory:File = File.documentsDirectory;// active user documents directory
    var fileName:String;
    var fileToSave:File;
    var fileStream:FileStream;
    var fileData:ByteArray;
    
    var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/FileStream.html");
    var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
    urlStream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDownloadComplete);
    urlStream.load(urlRequest);
    
    function onDownloadComplete(e:Event):void {
      // get the index position of the last forward slash in the file path
      var startIndex:int = urlRequest.url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1;
    
      // set fileName equal to url string starting after the last forward slash
      fileName = urlRequest.url.substring(startIndex);
    
      // create a new File object at the user Directory folder with the correct file
      fileToSave = documentsDirectory.resolvePath(fileName);name
    
      // create ByteArray to store data downloaded from URLLoader
      fileData = new ByteArray();
    
      // write the data from URLLoader to ByteArray
      urlStream.readBytes(fileData, 0, urlStream.bytesAvailable);
    
      // create FileStream to save data to File
      fileStream = new FileStream();
    
      // open file in a WRITE mode to save data to the File
      fileStream.open(fileToSave, FileMode.WRITE);
    
      // write the data to the file
      fileStream.writeBytes(fileData, 0, fileData.length);

  • Partial Wakelock in Adobe Air for Android

    I develop Adobe Air (for Android) application that is designed to be constantly turned on. App has operations based event. However, when the phone goes to sleep mode app is able to perform only one or a few events in a second which is not good enough. AIR SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE - mode is not an alternative because it is too consuming battery.

    I am looking for a solution when the phone is allowed to enter the mode 'sleep' (screen is off), but still the CPU performance are not radically fallen. Not sure Android part wakelock-mode does the job and is available through DONKEY?

    What type of event you are missing to be able to manipulate during sleep? According to the documentation from Adobe AIR decreases the rate of 4 frames per second when it is moved to the background or becomes inactive. Im guessing that the screen, disabling account in this respect and that is probably a reason as to why you have found only a few events a second, but I can't say for sure without knowing what type of event you use. In regards Android PowerManager WAKE_LOCK function, Google documentation says that you should not use this API unless you absolutely, and if you have to use it, you use it and do with it as soon as possible as long as this hurts API independence (they have same "BOLD" the part about the battery life). What you try to do that requires that the app is always on? More details can help myself or others provide other options to accomplish what you are trying to do. If you must use the PowerManager, you should be able to create a DONKEY to turn on and off the WAKE_LOCK mode, but could only help the side Android/Java things and you might need to move your event handling during the side of things because Java application of AIR will be always abandoned at 4 frames per second when the screen turns off.

  • Porting an application multi-threaded for Adobe Air.

    Someone at - it never been faced with this task?

    The application in question has a thread about 10 in addition to the main user interface thread.

    Each thread is blocking ops in long-distance communication, GPS, HTTP, manipulation of the filesystem, processing of data of general application, SQL execution, etc.

    Very little of it is based on the direct interaction of the user.

    Is it possible to get something like this in Adobe Air?

    Or simply wait for Android/BB... which would be realistic player out right at about the time where that this port is complete.

    Support an implementation not threaded with threaded implementations could be a lot of work.  I would recommend waiting.

    AIR has a flash.utils.Timer class, or a simple setTimeout() call that uses only the timer below.  The question is not "burden" on the UI thread, depending on CPU load... work has to be done one way or the other.  The issue is latency, in terms of how long it takes the application to respond to user events, or how long to make the updates.  Do more that small pieces at a time in the main thread, you will feel your app slow and inconsistent, with irregular updates and (if you try) animations jerks.

    Thread safety is not a big deal, normally... it is a matter of concern for applications poorly structured in a multithreaded environment.  Properly structured multi-threaded applications will eventually look a lot like an AIR application, with respect to certain things (for example, GPS pilot or connections SQLite) communicating through mechanisms of threads (queues, events, etc.) with the main thread.

    Called async stuff basically back to the main thread.  What are the event listeners.  You might be better not think of it as a wire when even... it's not like your "main thread" in another application, perhaps, where you have full control.  This is the main thread in a framework of GUI like WxWidgets or QT or whatever... everything is done with events and you * must * return to the caller (the frame) as quickly as possible or you will have a user experience impact.  Basically, the entire application is a collection of event listeners, with no place where you can implement a "loop of interrogation" for example, as you might in a different environment.

    Rather than stuff on 'simple threaded environments', you should probably just search for "asynchronous programming" or "event-driven" stuff.  There not much more to it than that.
