Reference Error when deploying AIR application to android device

Question

I am having an issue with my Adobe AIR application for android devices. When running the SWF file on the PC the application runs perfectly, I have also tested this in adobe Device Central and it works as expected. When I install this application to my android device, a HTC Desire HD, I get a screen with 5 dots, seems like a loading screen.

I checked the logcat to see what is going on and it seems there are several reference errors. Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve these?

I created the application using the following command

adt -package -target apk-debug -storetype pkcs12 -keystore game.p12 game.apk game-app.xml game.swf icon36.png icon48.png icon72.png

This is the contents of my xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">

This is the output from my logcat

Answer 1

I was having this same problem with very similar output:

Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable soldsign_24 is not defined.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Font_4 is not defined.

Error opening URL 'http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml'

I eventually removed the object associated with 'Variable soldsign_24', and 'Font_4' as per the code above. This resolved the compilation error and I was able to salvage my work. I believe this happened to me because of a font I used not being properly linked. Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

You've got an RSL error. You may need to package the .swz file with the APK.

go to actionscript settings Runtime Shared library Settings and select Merge into code.
