Hi Fabio,

Thanks for the nice article.

Can you please explain me how you are setting up a Peer-to-peer connection between your android mobile and the Laptop? Are you using the USB or WiFi Tethering? If we use WiFi Tethering in Android 2.2, will this application work? I’m trying to use this method, but was not successful.

Thanks,
Geo

Hi there,

Really nice article showcasing the p2p capabilities with AIR for Android. I am trying to create an application to use this method to control the power point slides in my PC but I am not sure how to start.Do I need to convert the .ppt slides into a .swf file?And how do i actually program to move from one slide to another? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Regards

Did you set the INTERNET permission when publishing the apk file?

hi. I have tried following the steps you have proposed. It works well between 2 swf files but not when I tried on my mobile. Have I missed out any important steps? I do hope to hear from you soon.

Congrat’s Fabio.
Only one question. Everytime when i execute the swf, my firewall is activated and asks me if I want to authorize to run the application. is there any way my swf not get blocked by windows firewall?

@stef: yes it’s a trick but i’m not agree with you.
You can’t avoid the latency, so this is good way to provide a good UX in games and many apps.
Naturally you can find other ways… this is just a sample using Tween (that it’s not the best and fast solution).

Adding interpolations won’t reduce the latency. This is just a trick, and a dirty one… User experience won’t be better.

@Helge: if you try to sync every single point (x,y) you won’t obtain a fluid movement in the receiver client, so I have used tweens to create smooth transitions.
This is a Tom Krcha’s trick (from FlashRealTime.com) that suggest to use interpolation in the receiver client. See the FlashRealTime links to get more info about it.

Awesome tutorial! This is by far one of the coolest features that hardly gets mentioned when discussing Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2. I was blown away by some of the demos shown at MAX this year.

Nice, but where is the long latency is coming from?
