At the end of this part you will have: A C/C++ project which you have set up to use the Adobe AIR C API.

The most important steps in this part of the tutorial are making sure that your C/C++ code can see FlashRuntimeExtensions.h and link with FlashRuntimeExtensions.lib from the Adobe AIR SDK.

We sometimes get asked for help with putting ANEs for Windows together, build automation and debugging. The inspiration for this tutorial came from Eric Zwar, who bought our eBook Easy Native Extensions, which has examples for iOS, and heroically applied its principles to making an AIR Native Extension for Windows. Thank you, Eric! I hope you like this one. Share on: WhatsApp Read More

Some of the guides are a work in progress, but are being updated as you are reading this. Most of all, though, we like how this site emerged from an open an honest conversation with customers, in which distriqt asked, listened and implemented. Share on: WhatsApp Read More

While the Camera Tutorial shows you step-by-step how to connect to the iOS camera, capture frames from it and wrap all of this in an ANE, this new release has a lot more functionality and supports Android too. Below is the list of features… Share on: WhatsApp Read More
