My AIR Desktop project is currently using
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
to allow multiple user to interact with it.
But when I published the project and tested on the touchscreen (Chinese touch frame for windows, no driver), It had this weird two fingers tap effect happened in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Kbnngs4sc
which I don't want it.
I tried created another simple file using GESTURE mode instead and this weird effect has gone. But I need to use TOUCH_POINT mode.
The question is: how to detect or disable two fingers tap it in as3 TOUCH_POINT mode.
Thank you in advance,
Pucka
Is it possible to control camera exposure compensation from ActionScript?
it is! Therefore you need to use a ANE (Adobe Native Extension).
I found one for iOS here https://code.google.com/p/diadraw-air-camera-native-extension/ and maybe this https://github.com/freshplanet/ANE-ImagePicker (supperts iOS and Android) serves for your purpose as well.
Cheers
As far as I'm aware this sort of finer hardware control needs more access to the camera than flash plugin in a web page will have.
You'd be able to do it with a native extension in an AIR application but not with the flash plugin. Though I haven't seen any for desktop cameras, I imagine the hardware is even more variable than Android and would be a big endeavour. Definitely are a few around for Android/iOS (diadraw and I've done one myself for http://distriqt.com/native-extensions#camera).
But for the flash plugin I think you'll be limited to the controls in flash.media.Camera.
I would like to know how to detect the shake gesture on an iPad and make it cause a animation on a digital publication page (ex: image changes). I am using Adobe DPS at the moment and considering MagPlus as well. I am a total newbie to this.
Thanks!
You can do this by using webviews in you magazine. In the webview you can use the HTML5 orientation api to listen to the event. Or you can use a javascript plugin called Shake.js.
Is it possible to make a flash player go full screen (not in browser)?
Would there be any bug / error on different version of Flash player?
HI!
stage.displayMode = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
Available only in Adobe AIR.
It allows you to listen to keyboard events (meaning you can also type inside text boxes etc..)
stage.displayMode = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Available in any AS3 based flash file (starting from flash 9)
There is no issue with using it, except you cannot use the keybard.
From my experience with fullscreen mode's in flash the main thing to bear in mind is to make your application have liquid layouts which re-act to the Event.RESIZE. Then when you listen for that event re-lay out your application to the new ( fullscreen ) width and height.
To do this you would change the stage.displayMode to StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN
In Flash player it's Ctrl-F, as menu suggests, so it's certainly possible. Have you tried stage.displayMode = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE? StageDisplayState doc says it's here from version 9.0.28.0.
Since flash doesn't allow keyboard input while in fullscreen mode I'm wondering if there is a workaround to that?
I have a flash that is going to run fullscreen in a browser and needs different kinds of keyboard input. I have read something about AIR, but I don't fully understand it and would like another way if thats even possible.
Anybody knows?
public function setFullScreen():void
{
this.width = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
this.height = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
}
Use the FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE
This is now possible in Flash Player 11.3+
Simply compile your application to support a minimum version of 11.3.0 and it will work if you use:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
in your html you must put:
<param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />
you will see a prompt when you enter full screen:
you can see an example on this official adobe blog:

It is not possible to get input key with fullscreen mode within the browser.
Air is only for desktop application so if your application have to work into the browser no Air for you.
If you have to get input into fullscreen mode you can try to make a virtual keyboard (an example) and user will use the mouse to press the keyboard key.
It actually is possible in Flash 10, but only for a few keys. See this page:
Understanding the security changes in Flash Player 10
Flash Player 9 does not allow keyboard
input when displaying content in
full-screen mode. Flash Player 10
changes this, allowing for a limited
number of keys to be usable in
full-screen mode. These include Tab,
the Spacebar, and the (up, down, left,
right) arrow keys.
Another option is to just use the browser's built-in fullscreen capability. All major browsers offer it as far as I know (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc). Usually it's under View->Fullscreen, hotkey F11. Depending on the browser it will either give you the entire screen, or maybe leave a small bar across the top/bottom. Then you simply need to make your flash application expand to fill the entire HTML page.
Patrick is right. Due to security risks, your going to have a tough time getting your goal met. Adobe AIR is your best solution and will be easy to achieve in your state.
Here is a great video to get your started from Lee Brimelow. http://theflashblog.com/?p=403 (Building AIR Applications in Flash CS3)
Since AIR applications are built right in Flash or Flex, all you will need to do is configure how your application compiles, and you have yourself a Adobe AIR application capable of utilizing the keyboard while running as a cross platform desktop application.
Ahh, AIR is not for browsers? Too bad. Seems like I won't be able to get everything I wish for :p I have functions for the most important things without the keyboard functions, but I would really like them all of course.
I'll look into Silverlight then and see if thats an option.
Thanks guys! :)
