AS code for calling the ANE: _context = ExtensionContext.createExtensionContext(EXTENSION_ID, null); You’ll find that _context is always null. The reason is that the jar was built with JDK 1.7...

cn.flashj.ane.ios.OpenMap is a native extension for iOS that does one very simple thing: jump to the system’s built-in Maps app and navigate to a place. It provides 2 methods: openMap.routeFromSourceToDest(source, dest); navigates from source to dest. openMap.routeToDest(dest); navigates from the current location to dest. The source and dest parameters are both cn.flashj.ane.ios.MapItemVO, a class with three fields: latitude, longitude, and place name. Example usage:

Symptoms: Our project needed the ANE QR code scanning feature. After writing it in XCode with ZBarSDK and publishing it as an ANE, packing it into an IPA with adt threw this error: Packaging failed!

Loli’s Adventure was the first mobile game project I saw through to completion as lead programmer. I learned a lot from it and got a feel for how it differs from browser games. The project was built with PHP (AMFPHP) + AIR (Starling plus traditional UI), and on the front end, Starling + traditional UI still runs into plenty of performance limits — from here on, I plan to drop traditional UI entirely for mobile games. This year is a breakout year for mobile platform products, and my interest is sky-high right now.

The game project we’re developing, Kingdom War, has now entered its final sprint. I’m heading back to Shenzhen at the end of July, and I hope to have it finished before then. Since I’ve been busy ...

Last time I posted a Flash debug tool, Arthropod. Now here’s an addition — one of the most feature-packed, most usable Flash Debug tools: De MonsterDebugger. Right now Huoshan is using this debug tool.

Arthropod is a Flash debug tool. Its main feature: developers just need to call its Debug.log(“×××”); method to write relevant logs for easier debugging. The author is currently busy working on version 2.0. The new version will have an improved UI and some new features, making it more usable. The author plans to make Arthropod the undisputed choice for a Flash debugger.

Ever since I added the minimize-to-tray feature last time, I’ve been hearing about one “freak-out” paranormal event after another — you type in your own username and password, and the login info th...
