Adobe AIR Development

Thread for 0.9.4 Simulator issues:

[mrpinc]

navigateToURL() from Adobe AIR seems to be completely broken.  Before it would launch the browser but would not navigate to a new page if the browser was already opened.

Now it does nothing at all.

I do have <permission>access_internet</permission> set but I doubt this should even be an issue.

Also noticing that the header bar containing the settings will somtimes dissapear, hiding the clock, dev info button.

Some things i have noticed:

• can't use physical keyboard to type in sim anymore
• can't change or close tabs in browser

Can anyone confirm this?

[mrpinc]

Keyboard worked fine for me,  did not try the tabs.

double click still doesn't work:

package
{
	//Imports
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.display.StageAlign;
	import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	
	//Class
	public class PlayBookTest extends Sprite
	{	
		//Constructor
		public function PlayBookTest()
		{
			stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
			stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
			
			stage.doubleClickEnabled = true;
			stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, doubleClickEventHandler);
		}
		
		//Double Click Event Handler
		private function doubleClickEventHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
		{
			trace ("Double Click");
		}
		
	}
}

The tabs issue can probably be lumped under the related "tabs don't render properly" in Known Issues.

The physical keyboard issue is likely not a new one.  Each old simulator has had a similar problem, though it's intermittent.  I can use the physical keyboard on the new one, so far.  I've never found a reliable fix before, but between restarting, closing and reopening apps, and such, it's always come around for me sooner or later.

Vimeo's videos seem to play in the browser, but youtube does not.

Not all of the new permission settings have any effect.

So far, it looks like there's both inconsistency and unimplemented stuff.

access_internet may or may not show up, for reasons unknown

read_geolocation, record_audio, and use_camera seem to work okay

Each of access_shared, play_audio, or set_audio_volume seem to be ignored.

Not a bug per se, but pretty annoying from a troubleshooting ability point of view:  /var/log is now protected against viewing by "devuser" (when you're connected via SSH).
