We've always been able to download .swf flash game files, but with Flash 10.1 I was hoping we could put them on the sdcard and play offline.
Anyone know how to do this? (For cataloging / playing Flash games when there's no connection.)
HAH! Idea: what about storing an html page that just launches a SWF? What's the least amount of code in a page that would do that?

Hahaha funny you say this, I tried it earlier after reading your message and no go.
For starters, no way to access local file from native browser (others may support it but native doesn't).
Closest I could come was by selecting the html file with astro, then choosing to open it with "HTML Viewer" (built into astro I think?) but it didn't show the embedded flash object.
I think best way to achieve this would be an app that can read a directory on sdcard and generate the html to load into a webview. I was thinking about throwing something together real quick but haven't had time to look and see if something like it already exists.
Damn, that's too bad.
Yeah, I find it very odd that you can't browse local html files.
A long time ago (G1 days) I tried all sorts of //file:/// weird stuff (like Firefox does) and couldn't get anything to work. I can't believe there's no way to browse locally.
Try file explorer in market for local browser.... let me know if it works lol

htmlfileprovider is your friend:

(entered in the browser's address bar obviously)

Yeah, I found this in another forum after posting this. Still, would be nicer to have a little interface that scans and builds a little menu out of flash files

V True, if I had anything approaching free time at the moment I'd be tempted to give it a go.
Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.
Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.
I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.
I found that the instructions in the last post here work.
androidtablets.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/2279-no-signs-reader-hub-us-galaxy-tab.html
Download the files and do what he says.
Worked in my Tmo Galaxy Tab.
News and Kobo reader worked in ReadersHub and the magazines app worked in the Readin app.

Anyone figure out how to install this?
Didi u try to rename extension from zip to apk?
Anyone been able to get the Ebook app to run on a US tab?
Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

Yep, full epub support, you have to put your books in /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments amd you may have to open "my files" a pair of time for the books to appear.

I feel I should tell people who do a lot of word, ppt, excel that the Polaris Office app that comes preinstalled on TF is much SUPERIOR to quickoffice hd pro that supposedly is designed for tablets. The words are mixed up and ppt sides that I use in my word documents don't show up clearly on quickoffice, but they run perfectly fine on Polaris, so don't rush into buying an office suite for your TF, because Polaris gets the job done well.
Thanks for passing that info on. One reason I want a TF over the Acer or Xoom is because it comes with that software.
hi there. have you guys have any idea how to insert an image (eg from my gallery) into an excel spreadsheet in the said app? There dont seem to be any option to do that. I even searched the Polaris website for help, but to no avail.
For everyone interested, I just this morning updated my Office Suite comparison over in the XOOM forum to include Polaris Office (PowerPoint only for now). The link is in my signature. I will update the Word and Excel comparison soon.
does Polaris office do multi-worksheet formulas/lookups in Excel?

That's a big negatory. All the pages are there but calcs between them do not work. Same issue with DTG. I have not tried quickoffice yet so I do not know if this feature works with it.
To confirm I'm talking about gdocs that I pull down, I have not created a spreadsheet from scratch to try the calc across sheets with PO.

Well that sucks...it's a pretty important feature.
I'm using it for work and it does work well. I wish you could create and save to dropbox folders then have them sync properly. Polaris needs to write to the dropbox api or dropbox needs to add support for file moves and creation to android.
I admit that I am not the best speller. Thus I wish there was spell and grammar check.

Does anyone know how to "select" text in the Docs app? As stupid as this sounds, I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Open the document, go into Edit mode and then double-tap into the text. You'll see something like two pins enclosing selected text. Use the "Ribbon" to copy/cut/paste.
Thanks!

Not sure that's possible with any of the current apps. They are very limited in their functionality; the devs don't seem to expect tablet users to do serious work :-|

Thanks for responding. I edited my document on my desktop as a DOCX with half inch margins, then sent it to my TF, opened it and saved it as a DOC. That did the trick. From now on, that will be my template.

You're very welcome! All these questions are important for me too
Polaris would be great if I was able to paste text into the app that was copied from other apps. It looks as though this was possible prior to 3.1, but is broken now. That's a pretty big requirement for me.

Polaris is terrible if you use Google Docs.
QuickOffice is the ONLY application that will let you freely edit Google Doc spreadsheets as if you were on a PC.
Otherwise Polaris is a nice app, if you don't use Google Docs. At all.

Hello Everyone,
So I have an RT device and I been looking around the forums and saw a lot of people trying to add websites to the whitelist so they could get there flash sites working and were having issues. I now have created a script that will allow you to add websites and custom white lists without any issues.

Here is a video on how it works
*******Update!*******
Current Bugs:
Takes about 2 and half minutes for it to add the website you choose to the list, not that big of a deal. However I’m working on fixing it.
Please report any bugs I will attempt to resolve them ASAP.
Thank you guys for all your support, I will update this thread as soon as the new release is available

Nice work
Btw I read on neowin about this tool deleting logins etc.
I think it has to delete browsing history or clear the cache in order to work. I dont think it will work without deleting one of those.
Let me know if you find a method to make it work without the need to delete browsing history and then ill add it to the other thread.

Yeah it will delete your stored login information.
I think i can get it to work without deleting the saved password information. I will be working on that this weekend along with a few more tweaks. I really just wanted to get it out there and have more people testing it.
If someone can confirm exactly what needs to be cleared I can adjust the settings in the script. Otherwise I will do my testing and find out.

Hey so I looked into it for you. I got it to work it wasn't to hard. So what is happening is the acutal video is hosted on another site so not only will you need to add slipstreamtv.com you will need to add the site that hosts the actual live TV. Now to find out the website that is hosting it all you have to do on a regular computer that has flash enabled you will need to right click where the video box is and click "settings" then click the little folder icon and it will show you the website where it is getting the stream from. I have posted pictures on how to do it.
However in this case it looks like slipstreamtv.com uses udemy.com but a lot one more website that I found by going through the HTML source of the website. I added the following site and it worked without an issue.
slipstreamtv.com
udemy.com
sawlive.tv

Remember sometimes you may need to look at the HTML code on the source page.
I have a question. Not to complain or anything. Why don't we set the required domain as "debug domain" in registry instead of messing with the white list? In my experience, using debug domain trick is much cleaner and it still allow the while list to get updated by Microsoft.

Hey, I choose to do it this way because I did not want to add a ton of strings into the Registry. I'd rather play around with the white list then with the registry. I will be updating the custom white list thats within the tool often so that it will be very much up to date as Microsoft and contain custom ones as well.

Having a problem with the stock library app. It will open for a second and then force close. It DOES stay running in the app-switcher list but when i choose it, it closes out to the home screen. I have a lot of PDF files i read and its handier than a file manager for that. Anyone having the same problem or know of a good replacement app??? Thanks in advance.......RL

To diagnose a "force close", you need to post a logcat excerpt.
