So, I've created a save system for my game.The thing is it works fine on Flash and Air for desktop, but not Air For iOS when I wrap it as an iOS app.Does sharedObject.getLocal work with iOS? If not, what else can I use?
Yes, it should work. If var mySharedObject.getLocal("game") does not work, then you probably have a corrupted system, or a very old version of IOS. To be sure, post the code you're using. Also, make sure you have a correct render mode for your type of application.
2nd Option: Check your memory. If you don't have enough memory to support SharedObject, it won't store the memory. Do a test, add this code:
if(mySharedObject.size != 0)
{
textfield.text = "works."
}else{
textfield.text = "nowork."
make a textbox input called 'textfield' and a SharedObject variable 'mySharedObject'.

I'm using a plugin CircleImage from https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Xamarin.Plugins/tree/master/ImageCircle
I'm using it in a listview. I noticed it's working fine with image from a url but I can't find a way to show an image from embedded resources or files. Could you explain me how do that?
Thank you in advance!
Is the image in your Resources folder on iOS and Android platforms and in the root on Windows Phone?
You probably want to use the following to set the source of a local image:
Source = ImageSource.FromFile("someimage.png")
Or you might even try:
Source = (FileImageSource)ImageSource.FromFile("someimage.png")
Also be careful with upper and lower case file names. I suggest making everything lower case. The iOS simulator will not care about casing (since Macs do not care), but a real iOS device will care.
For other developers I write and describe my solution for that. I have a MVVM model. In this model there is property
ImageSource image
when I fill the data in the model (r in the example) I verify if taking an embedded image or an image from file system
if (images.Count == 0) {
// from file
r.Image = ImageSource.FromFile ("GenericImageFromResource.png");
} else {
// get the file image from file system
//(required an implementation for each platform)
r.Image = ImageFinder.GetImage (images.First().FileName);
}
Is it possible to paste a copied image from the Safari browser to an Adobe AIR built iOS app?
I tried it with this image but couldn't find a solution yet.
Below is a screenshot of the copy button from the Safari browser on iOS 8:
Yes and no. You can't use the native dialogs or handling, but I believe you can access the data in the clipboard, even if it is an image.
You'll want to use Clipboard#getData() with a format of ClipboardFormats.BITMAP_FORMAT. That will give you access to the raw image data in a BitmapData object. You can then draw that BitmapData to a Bitmap container (or Image/BitmapImage if using Flex). You'll have to include a separate button for instantiating the paste process, but that isn't difficult to do.
Untested, but this should be a good place to start:
pasteButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.pasteEventHandler);
function(e:MouseEvent):void {
var clipboard:Clipboard = new Clipboard()
var bd:BitmapData = clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.BITMAP_FORMAT);
bitmap.bitmapData = bd;
}
I believe you'll need to handle errors in there as well, since the clipboard could contain text would either throw an error on the getData() line or return null.
I'm getting this error when I press a button in a flash/air app that used to work in the AIR 3.2 SDK - now upgraded to the AIR 3.5 SDK. Any help much appreciated.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm creating an app for iPhone using Flash CS6 on Mac and exporting using the Air 3.5 SDK. I also have the AIR 3.5 runtime installed.
The app is very simple at the moment. It basically moves from frame to frame when you press a button using the gotoAndPlay(frameNr) function. There are some hexes on the frames that update an array of numbers when clicked. They are also toggled visible/not visible.
This used to work perfectly using the AIR 3.2 SDK, but I recently downloaded the AIR 3.5 SDK from adobe and added it through flash (Help>Manage Air SDK) and set it as the build target in File>Publish Settings>Target.
When I switch back to AIR 3.2 SDK, the app works perfectly again.
Also, when I upload the app to my iPhone 4S running IOS 5.1 using AIR 3.5 SDK, I just see a black screen with 5 loading dots flashing. This also works fine with AIR 3.2 SDK.
This is the code for frame 7
The last line is line 31.
stop();
techtitle.text = "Select Trait";
techdesc.text = "Spend points to change core stats and other special abilities";
points.visible = false;
techpoints.visible=false;
pointsbalance.text = myPoints.toString();
btn_tech.visible = false;
curTechSelected = null;
trace("set hexes invisible");
for (var j:int = 0; j <= 67; j++) {
if (hexStatusb[j] == 1) {
this["btn_hex_"+j+"b"].visible = false;
}
}
function onBtnHex37bClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
techtitle.text = "tech1";
techdesc.text = "tech1 description"
techpoints.text = "-2";
points.visible = true;
techpoints.visible=true;
btn_tech.visible = true;
curTechSelected = btn_hex_37b;
curTechSelectedNr = 37;
curTechPoints = 2;
}
trace(this["btn_hex_37b"]);
btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);
OK - so, after trying out lots of things, I figured out why this is happening.
Solution: get rid of all TFL text objects when running AIR 3.5 SDK
It seems that the TFL Text library wasn't being loaded properly at runtime. Something crucial that I neglected to mention was that I was getting this warning message (similar here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/825637)
Content will not stream... The runtime shared libraries being preloaded are textLayout_1.0.0.05... TFLText
and this warning message in the output
Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml. The 'secure' attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files.
Simply removing all TFLText objects and changing them to classic text makes the app work fine again.
#csomakk Great news. I have found the answer. You can publish in 3.5 and 3.6 and have your TLF Text too. I posted a write-up on my blog that shows exactly how to do it.
To get started: the error message states that something is null.. it means, that the program doesn't know, where to look for it. It can happen, when you didn't create the object (btn_hex_37b = new MovieClip()); or you haven't even created a variable for it.
on the given line (btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);) only btn_hex_37b can be null, because onBtnHex37bClick exists, and if it wouldn't, the program wouldn't compile.
The reason it came up when switching to AIR 3.5 is probably that it calls some creation functions in different order. Go to the line where you define the btn_hex_37b variable. Search for that functions calling.. Make sure, that btn_hex_37b is created before going to frame7.
Also, if its not a vital, to have onBtn_hex_37bClick, you can do the following:
if(btn_hex_37b){
btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);
}
the if will check if btn_hex_37b is not null.
On the else method, you can give a timeouted method(but that is ugly), or give the eventlistener right after the creation of the object.
Hope this helped.
For Flash CS6, copy this swc:

I'm developing a mobile application using Backbone, jQueryMobile and Phonegap. The app works great on Android, iOS and BB >= 6, but on BB5 as expected there are countless issues coming up.
I'm now facing problems with Backbone itself. I'm debugging it and looks like the problem is in the routes definition. The application crashes on start time due to something related to it (still investigating, but debugging is painful for BB5...).
Also, I read that BB5 won't play nice with hash listening, which Backbone relies on to do the navigation, so I am wondering if somebody has been able to create a backbone app on OS5, or is it simply not possible?
I'm updating this question just in case someone faces the same issue:
Short story: it's not possible to run Backbone on OS5. I debugged into backbone and some instructions with regular expressions were causing a crash. Even if these are fixed in the future, we determined that the js support was simply not good enough and finally discarded the OS5 version.
It is probably not worth it in most cases but this is doable.
I managed to get an app running after quite a bit of work - the javascript support is really not great in OS 5.0 and debugging is very very slow as suggested in bfcapell's answer.
To get backbone to work you need to comment out the code that uses the hashchange event to handle url changes (this is assuming that the router is being used). THere is a fallback in backbone which uses setinterval to poll for changes.
// Depending on whether we're using pushState or hashes, and whether
// 'onhashchange' is supported, determine how we check the URL state.
/*if (this._hasPushState)
{
alert('pushstate');
$(window).bind('popstate', this.checkUrl);
} else if (this._wantsHashChange && ('onhashchange' in window) && !oldIE)
{
alert('hashchange');
$(window).bind('hashchange', this.checkUrl);
} else if (this._wantsHashChange)
{*/
this._checkUrlInterval = setInterval(this.checkUrl, this.interval);
//}
The foreach method in underscore also needs to be modified to not use the native foreach method. This is needed for collections to be rendered correctly.
var each = _.each = _.forEach = function (obj, iterator, context)
{
if (obj == null) return;
/*if (nativeForEach && obj.forEach === nativeForEach)
{
obj.forEach(iterator, context);
}
else*/
if (obj.length === +obj.length)
The above should get at least backbone mostly working. (I say mostly because I have a completely working app but I suspect to find a couple more OS5 specific issues in time).
I'm looking for something corresponding to net.rim.device.api.system.ApplicationManager.getVisibleApplications(), but including applications that might not/do not have a UI. Any ideas?
Unreasonably complicated work-around solutions welcome, I'm growing slowly more sure that there's not a simple single call to do this...
If you know the application name you can detect if it is running or not by checking the size of the array containing all AppDescriptor actually running this app.
int codeModuleHandle = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle(applicationPackageName);
if (codeModuleHandle != 0) {
ApplicationDescriptor[] apDes = CodeModuleManager.getApplicationDescriptors(codeModuleHandle);
}
You could imagine a code to get all installed application and then check
