• Starling/feathers UI Debug on device

  For some odd reason, I can't debug an application based on starling/feathers ui.  I get a dialog box saying that it is not able to connect to the PC.  Can I deploy a non-debug version is fine and I can debug BB base AIR apps.  The token on the device is good.

  Any thoughts?

  Never mind. "Install and launch the application on the device" is not checked.

  Ugh.

• Flash website using the conversion (Greensock/Starling/Away3D libraries) to HTML5. Is there an efficient workflow for this kind of mass conversion?

  Hello!

  I read that demoralize him articles everywhere on the great navigators pushing Flash to the side and supporting the HTML5 for awhile now. I have a personal site that I keep and put a decent amount of work using the design. At the heart of the site is driven by external classfiles AS3 using Greensock libraries. Also, I went 3D with 2D content content using the Framework Starling and Away3D libraries. I am researching the possibilities of creating the same types of drawings in HTML5, if possible. Greensock already fully supports HTML5 with its new libraries GSAP. Starling and Away3D I'm not so sure...

  I would love to continue to grow in the same method, using FlashCC, but this is already limited to only desktop browsers. That's fine with me, if it remains bearable on workstations, but at this point I don't really know how well supported Flash will remain same in desktop browsers. I must admit that my real job keeps me pretty busy that my search time is quite limited, so I might be way off the coast.

  Is there any known and efficient workflow for the transition from a site that only uses external AS3 classFiles and 2D or 3D to the HTML5 canvas content? Is this even worth it if I'm comfortable with only to have the support of desktop browser? It seems to me that, at least in the office environment, Flash will retain a strong foot.

  I use the package full creative suite + FlashDevelop as my toolkit and have been reading upward on the discussion of FlashCC targeting HTML5 canvas. It's really interesting to me, but at the same time it seems to work with SWF movies which contain all their ActionScript. It is not the structure that I followed at all, and it wouldn't really work-able at the port just the classFiles external back into SWF movies since not all the .as files has a SWF that is directly related. In other words, I wonder if it is still possible for me to consider a transitional workflow to HTML5 canvas? It seems at some point I might have to bite the bullet and refactor everything from the beginning, which I must admit is not an appetizing idea.

  I just want to start a discussion with Adobe and other creators out there using entirely external .as files and juggle several libraries in their Flash projects for the future. I want to see what workflows are out there to conquer this kind of problem and if supported in the desktop browser environment is even really a problem.

  -Cheers and sorry for the wall of text

  I think you should read more and worry less. Microsoft include Flash Player in IE and Edge. Google include Flash player in Chrome. Firefox Announces recently committed to the development of a Flash plugin, even if they cease to support other plugins. I don't think that Apple will stop supporting plugins at all.

  Thus, all current users of your will see your site for at least the next few years.

• Starling and Flash Professional

  Hello

  I bought the book "Starling game development Essentials" from PacktPub (by Juwal Bose) and I downloaded the code example.

  But the book describes only using Flash Builder and I use Flash Professional (CC). I've built several games using Flash Pro with AS3 that are in iTunes and I expect to learn how to use Starling code to improve performance.

  Not surprisingly, the samples do not work. First of all, nothing has worked, he was not related to the Starling so he found what he needed and I got loads of error can not find - this. So, I tried building an FLA for the demo of Chapter 1, set to day class to point to the ActionScript to demo, and I updated the path of the library to include the Starling. All can't find errors-, that are now gone, but now I get the error "Context3D is not available" in a big black box (as well as the Simulator window) when I try to run the demo.

  My machine is a MacBook Pro which is underway and I use Adobe CC, which is also common.

  Can I use the examples in this book on my installation (and if so, how)?

  I must point out that all the demos online that I can find to Starling using Flash Builder.

  Therefore, more generally, can I use Starling with Flash Professional (and if so, how)?

  If the answer is 'no' to the above questions, is there a book on Starling?

  Thanks in advance.

  I remembered something. Test iOS FLAs work with Starling, but make sure you have the Direct rendering mode and not automatically value.

• Starling feathers Lee Brimelow tut

  Hi guys

  I'm working through the UTU to http://www.leebrimelow.com/introduction-to-feathers-tutorial/ - I use Pro CS6

  It works, but the output looks like this:

  

  I have put code in place with:

  [SWF (width = "640" height = "960", frameRate = "60", backgroundColor = "#ffffff")]

  No idea what I need to change to do display correctly?

  See you soon

  I have not watched the tutorial so I don't know if this has already been mentioned in it, but take a look at the warning in red at the bottom of this page, what could the problem you see:

  http://wiki.Starling-framework.org/feathers/Flash-Pro

  Ability to Flash Professional to properly simulate devices on AIR is limited compared to other development environments. Simulator AIR of Flash Professional provides not only the good screen DPI/PPP for the mobile device that simulates it. The value of Capabilities.screenDPI is used by themes of feathers to the skins of scale to a physical size appropriate for each device. In order to use the features of themes of feathers DPI scaling, you'll need start ADL in the AIR SDK on the command-line or test on a real device. For more details, see why feathers component skins and sizes of fonts appear very small? in the FAQ of feathers.

• Starling and Flash CS5.5

  This question weighs more on the side flash that I try that it works with Flash CS 5.5. and installed the extension update for flash may publish in the reader to version 11. I have all the libraries and files referenced properly, however when I play in the browser, Internet explorer 8 with flash player 11.6, nothing appears. I did some research which highlights the fact that it should work. Also, I get a compilation error:

  RenderSupport.as, line 421 1046: Type was not found or is not a compilation constant: Program3D.

  in further research, told me disreguard this error and the game in the web browser that you were not able to play in the lightning because of reading being an outdated version. If there is no one here who has experience dealing with Starling and flash, and reasons that could explain why it can be not appearing correctly?

  NOTE: I built the same project in FlashBuilder 4.7 and works very well. Just having problem on Flash conversion. I checked and saw that it is possible to do with Flash, its just something im missing.

  You will have a better chance to find a solution on the forums of the Starling

  You're saying that there could be two probems:

  1. your project uses flex only classes (which are not available in flash)

  2. you missed sth. When upgrading flash cs 5.5 for fp11-Publishing (installation of the extension is not enough)

• Black background in native elements to display list bunk with Starling

  Hello, I'm having a problem in the iPad, where all native DisplayObjects are displayed with an opaque black background instead of being transparent while being superimposed graphics of Starling by using "nativeOverlay". This happens not in the PC, in the ADL, in the iPad. No one knows what is the cause?

  I also tested in Android, and this happens. So it is a problem that in iOS. Is this a known issue? Surely someone has tried before to overlay Flash objects on Starling display display objects and had this problem?

  Possible fixes or workarounds for this?

  Thank you!

  
  

  Hello, I just find the culprit of this annoying bug.

  It's StageVideo! If you play any video with StageVideo FRONT to show any substance Stage3D/Starling, then you will get this behavior (native DisplayObjects with opaque background on Starling).

  This is a bug that is be almost 1 year!

  Please, check this and vote to try to fix this problem finally for good!

• Starling - start several times, workflow?

  Hey all,.

  Has anyone Starling serving small portions of a larger application (for example, to use the commands FeathersUI) and had the task start and stop an instance of Starling? I'm curious of your workflow to manage the context Stage3D. I find that Starling is unable to reset itself even with the additions of managing a lost context. From instantiations past the initial, Starling seems to fail to find a context and simply shows as black.

  How do you manage the start, stop and then start the Starling engine properly? This post implies it is a work in progress. During the implementation of the suggested temporary solution authors I find that the engine becomes unusable.

  Anyone calling this engine start-stop without stopping the main scenario for the global Flash? If need be, I can keep the engine in memory. I just can't let it sit in a battery of eating the render, rendered nothing loop, just at the same time keep it in existence to reuse and not stop main timeline in Flash. It's a waste of resources but Starling doesn't handle well the Stage3D context. This is a known issue. I wonder to what extent the industry of Adobe will this problem or if it's specific to Starling (I posted there too, same thing, 0 replies in 3 days).

  Edit:

  I graduated there with a problem of github and it was found that a bug and fixed:

  Hope that helps someone.

• Help with Starling for flash cs6

  Hey guys, I posted here a bit lately, sorry.

  I am at a loss for the tutorials of the Starling for Flash CS6 framework.

  There are a lot of tutorials out there for Flash Builder, but not for CS. (Hsharma was interesting and helped me to understand, but I'm having a lot of bad transfer these turorials for Flash CS6..)

  My main problem, I really want to do with Starling is use a sprite sheet to create the animation of a small loop and move it around the screen.

  I think if I understood that in Flash CS6, everything else would be put in place. In fact, I do not understand how to access assets such as sprite sheets in my library of flash games and turn them into sprites on stage with as3/starling. (I understand how to export the actual sprite sheet / data simply do not set-up accompaniment)

  Thank you very much

• Starling work Flash CS6 framework

  Hey guys I have recently updated for flash cs6 to improve the performance of my IOS game.

  Basically, I have a problem, I don't know how to set up a project with the framework of Starling.

  The only tutorials I've met are for Flash Builder 4.6 and other. (I don't want to use anything other than Flash CS6)

  I basically just want to take advantage of sprite sheets to improve the performance of my game.

  Thank you guys!

  Edit: Sorry all too, don't know if it's important, but it's for an IOS app.

  Hello

  Here's how set you the framework for Flash Professional CS6 Starling:

  1. If you haven't already done so, download and unzip Starling (at a location that is accessible on your system) of http://gamua.com/starling/.
  2. Launch Flash Professional CS6.
  3. In Flash Professional CS6, go to file > Settings ActionScript... > click the Library Path tab in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 settings dialog box.
  4. Click on the the button to add a new path of the library.
  5. Enter the path to the location where you have unpacked Starling or navigate to the location by clicking on the button.
  6. Click Ok.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• Starling of null object reference

  This function is called in a loop for to create 4 buttons... Select the right image and display it.

  Problem is I get a null object reference in addChild line...

  I use Starling and I don't know how to get rid of this error. Can you help me?

  private void newButton(i:int):void

  {

  var newBtn:_menuButton = new _menuButton();

  newBtn.gotoAndStop (i + 1);

  menuGroup [i] = newBtn;

  addChild (newBtn as DisplayObject); starling.display.DisplayObject

  newBtn.addEventListener (TouchEvent.TOUCH, Notecard, false, 0, true);

  }

  Also the code Starling:

  public void addChild(child:DisplayObject):void

  {

  addChildAt (child, numChildren);

  }

  / * Adds a child to the container at a certain index. */

  public void addChildAt(child:DisplayObject,_index:int):void

  {

  If (index > = 0 & & index < = numChildren)

  {

  child.removeFromParent (); I get the error in this line would highlight.

  mChildren.splice (index, 0, children);

  child.setParent (this);

  child.dispatchEvent (new Event (Event.ADDED, true));

  If child.dispatchEventOnChildren (stage) (new Event (Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE));

  }

  on the other

  {

  throw new RangeError ("invalid child index");

  }

  }

  Nevermind, this question makes no sense...

• Stage3d/Starling/ND2D FLA hybrid framescript possible?

  LS,

  I need a few questions answered here before that I dare not consider porting/integration stage3d with nd2d or Starling or something else in my application.
  I'm between a rock and a hard place and any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I have an application with 2 images containing a quantity of code humungus.
  I fear having to redo all the style of OBJECT-oriented programming and/but I'm looking for some recent performance enhancements.
  All the gfx to stage3d the porting seems a good plan.

  Q: can I add a mainclass name to my .fla and incorporate all of the stage3d code in this main class so it will become generally available in my framescript.

  CPU will do so only gfx AI movement and control.

  Q: or is anyway to do this with stage3d. But still access the native displaystuff to my hud, menus and more.

  
  Q: it works like a window under the native stage? I can always create an ol'skool hud with the text of the partition and other things?

  Reason:
  Lines of code now exceed 6000. terrible yes I know, but its extremely optimized for speed.
  Passage by the Profiler showed that 90 + % of memory is used by the vector class now. So it's good, I guess.

  Still...

  As soon as a large number of NPCS to appear in view at the same time start displaylistgfx compete with the AImodule for CPU-cycles it slows down just too.

  I've tweaked to try to balance it.
  The best results are either:

  -Player and scroll are smooth but NPC is doubtful and HAVE low

  -All scrolls smoothly, NPC is smart and quick, but they take so much time my touch interface is so bad its almost a game turn.

  Outsource all the gfx on the GPU seems to be my only option now for the last tweak to speed I need.

  Please advice,

  Concerning the highest

  Mac

  If you place the code in an .as file, it is substantially similar to simply put javascript in a .js file, etc.. It's just put the code in another file, and then import it.

  for example SomeClass.as:

  package {}

  import flash.display.Sprite;

  extend any DisplayObject instance to access the scene

  SerializableAttribute public class test extends Sprite {}

  public void SomeClass()}

  any initialization code here, if necessary

  }

  make a service more accessible to your script in frame

  public void SomeFunction (): String {}

  return "Hello World!";

  }

  }

  }

  Then in your first picture you include the external file, for example:

  Import test;

  Then instantiate:

  var someReference:SomeClass = new SomeClass();

  Then you can use:

  trace (someReference.someFunction ()); traces of Hello World!

  Nothing much to it. Separating the code can help a lot, especially for debugging. Heck, I wouldn't even dare want to see what scrolling is in this framework script haha.

  As long as you extend a DisplayObject class (as I extended the Sprite, but you also have to extend MovieClip) then it will have access to the scene. So, you have access to Stage3D.

  As your optimizations, I am sure that you are using a sprite technique with your game. Which means not real 3d 'real '. If yes then Starling (the frame 2d that uses Stage3D for speed) is your best option. However, it is extremely simple. It strives to be a little similar to the concept of display list, but you will have to learn the differences.

  In the end, the CPU is considerably limited compared to the GPU when it comes to this kind of work. Unloading to the GPU is a good idea. But the road in front of you is a little long, full to learn about sprite sheets and a GPU framework.

  A simple trick that can increase performance from the start is to ensure that all items in your library extend the Sprite class. This means that when you open the properties for one of your display objects (enemies and all the graphics on the screen), if they have not a timeline to animate , then in the entry where it is said what class they should extend, change of flash.display.MovieClip at flash.display. Sprite and you can see a performance bump. Once again, only for elements that do not have the chronology, as dynamic elements of hud, upgrade only via code, etc.

• spritesheet 2d stage3d/starling control, how? or conversion to apply 2d to use stage3d

  LS,

  Look in my environment stage3d porting 2d game.

  The ol' ' approach works fine until a lot of things begins to appear on the screen at the same time.

  At this point, I think it is the displaylist that starts to block them or seriously to attract resources.

  So... stage3d then.

  Question:

  I can't find "Advanced" sprite control methods

  In my old im App using MC "gotoandplay s and use to direct them to the current position of the market and/or a deathsequence and others.

  In Starling I can spritesheet em, then juggle em, em of start and stop 'em. But not specifically target any image that I want it to be.

  shaks!

  If I could strip 'em apart to void sequence spritesheets i.e: walking, running, taking, die, throw.

  then add and remove/replace em from the scene as soon as a change occurs.

  What is the way to do it?

  IM, fearing that this will cancel the stage3d speed improvements.

  All this beeing seriously disconcerting if it leads to nothing, I seriously hope someone can enlighten me on this.

  For all with the same question.

• Starling for mobile content framework

  Hi guys.

  Just been checking the new framwwork to harness the power of the GPU via stage3D.

  I was wondering if anyone of you guys know of any great tutorials or are still free "comp" a few things.

  Seem to be a few people out there. I want to say wise NOT only your run of the mill programmer games that don't really know how to make games.

  If you know how to code an application there not much difference in creating a game as an application complex. Some of the terminology and approaches which may differ in a very subtle way, but ultimately, they are the same. It can still be done in a traditional MVC model.

  Once you understand that by using the GPU means that you use coding work that some of the flash classes integrated allowing to do for you, the rest is pretty easy. There is not much built in API for you to use standard flash classes, such as a MovieClip. If you want to animate an element you must learn to use the sprite sheets and manually create animations. There are a lot of utils (http://www.texturepacker.com/) to help you make sprite sheets. Here's a Starling on video (http://gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=147) that uses this util that shows you the basic process.

  While it takes a lot more code to do apparently much less, Starling does not resemble the display list and a lot of the way in which flash already works to bridge the gap. The advantage is a huge increase in performance on mobile and desktop devices. But if you don't know how to make even a single application, you have a lot more to learn than the Starling. Especially if you plan to target mobile devices.
