Re: Cross Compiling your ActionScript Starling Games to WebGL and JavaScript

Great work....I try compile action-script to JavaScript by downloading hungryhero zip, but it didn't work for me ..However it is not showing any error, but when i am trying to run index.html file, it didn't show anything..

So I was able to compile your example from the zip file. I did have to update the output .js files to properly locate the /media directory on my web server.

I tried a few experiments of my own and ran into some AS3 APIs not yet implemented (as you noted in the KontikiJS readme), including Graphics.draw* and ByteArray.read/write (amf serialization stuff.)

So I don't think it'll work for my project, but I'm really impressed with how much is supported, and others will surely still find it useful.

Thanks again!

It is still workable, but i don't think its actively worked on so you would be having to work on both the compiler and the ported framework.

Renaun, this is really pretty cool, and with webgl support growing seems really interesting for porting starling games/apps to html5 (though the above demo still doesn't work on iPad for some reason).

I notice that the randori framework website is now gone, but the github repos are all still in place. Is this tech still workable?

Re: Debug AIR apps on Android with Flash Builder 4

No as the connection happens when the runtime loads up

Any idea how to *reconnect* an app to the debugger (or vice versa) after a connection has been lost?

The most typical scenario I can think of (occurs in my game):
1. User opens the game.
2. User clicks a button to log in via Facebook.
3. The Facebook app is switched to momentarily so the user can enter their Facebook login and authenticate with the Facebook server.
3a. When the Facebook app appears, connection to the debugger is lost!

Awesome! Do you know what kind of time frame to expect for the desktop SDK?

Re: Adobe Creative SDK

renaun — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 21:21:52 -0000

The SDK will come to Desktop and Web, someone will have to write and ANE around the SDK to get it to work with AIR.

Hi Renaun,

Do you know if the SDK will at some point be made available to AIR developers publishing desktop apps for OSX and Windows?

Thanks!

Hmmm, sorry for the elementary question, but will this project allow me to render a webGL file from within a Flex application?

Re: Live Texture Updater Plugin for Photoshop CC

You wont need to restart photoshop each time, just the node plugin app.

Steve Krichten — Sun, 02 Mar 2014 10:16:38 -0000

I followed your instructions, but the plugin never shows up in the photoshop generate menu. Restarted many times. I also ran npm install.

Also, how do you go about developing generator plugins... as you make code changes, do you have to keep restarting photoshop?

Re: AIR Capabilities.screenDPI on Devices

renaun — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:45:19 -0000

Yes still is really dumb all around.

Usually you have to check the dpi, then the screen resolution X/Y and check if the dpi is close. But in the end you are really only can go for general ranges of dpi's (phone, tablet, etc)

Re: AIR Capabilities.screenDPI on Devices

Yeah, I read you said is the same in native (Java). Still sucks :)

The OS doesn't report it correctly.

Re: AIR Capabilities.screenDPI on Devices

nuthinking — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:03:13 -0000

After 3 years... on Nexus 5 while the real DPI is 445, AIR returns 480.

The target file's parent folder cannot also be a parent of the project location or the workspace location.

Agree it's more of a fun project that I did on my own to see if it was possible. If anything it's meant to allow choice.
