New Capabilities in 3.3.2

• AnalogIn now has controller option called “mobile”, which currently gives access to the accelerometer where parameter controllerNum selects the x,y,z of the accelerometer 0 = X, 1=Y, 2=Z. Since the numbers come between -1 and +1, use the “multiplier” parameter to (e.g. set to 100) to make the numbers more useful.
• ClipControl offers the new properties gesture (for pinch, zoom and rotate two finger gestures) and touch (for dragging). To constrain the dragging with the touch setting, use the “touchConstrain” parameter to name a movieClip on the stage that define a rectangle that limits the movement.
• There’s a new widget called ClipProperty that “senses” any property of a movieClip (e.g. x, y, width, rotation, etc.). This can be used in combination with the gesture or touch settings of ClipControl to have the properties manipulated by the user as an input to other widgets.
• Use the hubFeed output of the AnalogOut widget to send the AnalogIn accelerometer or ClipProperty outputs back to a computer, where other widgets are running.
• The widgets running on the iOS device use a Hub running on a computer that’s on the same WiFi network. You need to set the remotehupIP parameter to the IP address of the computer running the Hub. The .xml file used by the iOS app will be placed in the Hub directory.
• To be able to toggle the visibility of all widgets on an iOS device, place a movieClip on the stage with an instance name of “myControlClip“. If tapped, all widgets will become invisible or visible.
• All the widgets can now function with their default on-screen settings even if there is no Hub found.
• SoundControl seems to work with library sounds – needs more testing
• There is a possible fix for a bug on Windows 7 that prevented widgets from working – please test!
• Changes from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1
  • A fix for Insert recording and playback accuracy
  • A fix for MidiOutCtrl and MidiOutNote to round input values to prevent problems outputting fractional numbers
  • Addition to SlideShow Widget to add an inputSourceSlideTime to vary how long a slide shows for. InputValue is milliseconds.
• Changes from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2
  • Added capability to AnalogIn and DigitalIn to accept multiple values from OSC, mobile, and HubFeed. So for example, if OSCulator or OSCemote sends an OSC string like this: /acceleration/xyz 0.1 0.2 0.3, you can set up simple code to get all three values at once. Assuming your DigitalIn or AnalogIn widget is named “input0″ and an Insert widget is named insert0, do the following
  • Set up the DigitalIn or AnalogIn as usual for receiving OSC
  • Set the inputSource of the Insert widget to “none” so it does not listen to the input widget
  • Add the following code to your timeline:

    insert0.insertInput = null; // don't process the input to the insert widget
    
    input0.multiInput = processInput; // process multiple values from AnalogIn or DigitalIn
    function processInput(... args) { // args is how you get a variable number of values
         trace("from code: " + args); // print out all the values from the args array
         insert0.outputValue = args[0] * 1000; // send the first value to output of Insert
    }

• Fixed problem where List and TextInput showed up as components
• Not tested
  • videoControl/soundControl external videos/sounds
  • motiontrack
  • insert recording
  • many other widgets

How to create an iOS app from Flash 5.5

• You must be an Apple Developer, and have Xcode installed
  • Adobe tutorial for publishing to iOS: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/flash-professional-cs55-publishing-content-to-ios-devices/
  • Adobe tutorial for creating a Flash compatible certificate: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/WS144092a96ffef7cc-371badff126abc17b1f-7fff.html
• Create a new document in Flash Pro 5.5 with a type of AIR for iOS
• When ready, export an iOS compatible file by FILE>AIR For iOS Settings…
• In the Deployment tab of this dialog, you’ll need to put in your Apple Developer certificate (export from KeyChain Manager in P12 format), certificate password, and Provisioning Profile
• Select Publish, and when that completes, there will be a .ipa file
• Drag the .ipa file to the Applications portion of the Xcode Organizer window, which will install it on your device
