  i dont suppose that there is any advantage between this method or phonegap i was aiming this at exsiting flash owners

  and as far as i can understand phonegap is that it requires a mac to compile to native app in xcode. And for windows users this can be difficult

  i know there are options like hackintosh or through virtualization but this violates apples terms

  and i am not clear on exactly how phonegap build services works so i apologise if i get this wrong but as far as i understand phonegap build does build native apps but only 1 app store ready app on the free service unless you subscribe to the paid service which can streach from 120 dollars to 900 dollars a year and i am sure that existing users have many game projects that they would consider app store material

  plus this could be a easy cross platform project for people to try eg

  construct 2 to flash to nativeapp which can be signed and submitted to the app store

  and just want to say construct 2 is a great program

  hello my name is martin wood

  after purchasing construct 2 i found the phonegap options some what lacking for windows users who wish to export to ios

  so i decided to write some actionscript 3 code that will run html5 as a native app on iphone and i would like to offer the construct community the code as a welcome gift to the community as i am new to this forum

  you will need flash cs5.5 to use this code(yes i did purchase the full version no pirate version lol)

  anyway step one

  create a flash ios document leave this file blank

  then create a actionscript 3 class file for the document name the file main.as

  next step copy and paste this code in to the main file

  package

  {

       import flash.geom.Rectangle;

       import flash.media.StageWebView;

       import flash.filesystem.File;

       import flash.display.MovieClip;

       public class main extends MovieClip

       {

            private var webView:StageWebView;

            public function main()

            {

                 var url:String = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("html/index.html").nativePath;

                 webView = new StageWebView();

                 webView.stage = stage;

                 webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);

                 webView.loadURL(url);

            }

       }

  then save both files the fla and the as file in the same folder then create a folder in the same directory called html

  next step add the folder html to the air for ios publish settings in flash

  next step

  open construct 2 and export your project as a html5 website to the html5 folder with full screen on crop enabled

  remeber to make your project to the iphone screen size

  once this is done return to flash and export your project with to air for ios

  pros:- easy ios and android export using adobe air

  cons:-can have some audio issues and some frame rate issues

  if anybody can improve on this method please post and let me know

  thankyou

  regards

  martin
