hi,

we all know that we have to put application backgroundAlpha to zero to allow Stage3D to display inside Flex applications, i have made tests and it works this way too with Flex on Android (yeah! Air 3.2 is here!), but it seems that the same kind of problem apply with pure AS3 applications on Android and i didn’t succeeded in finding the way to hide the application background in this case.

Ok, just figured out how to make it work:

fullScreen must be false in app.xml

I got an error that says:

Error: Error #3709: The depthAndStencil flag in the application descriptor must match the enableDepthAndStencil Boolean passed to configureBackBuffer on the Context3D object.

How did you solved that? I put the <depthAndStencil> tag to the xml and set to true. Did you managed to do anything else?

Thank you for answer.

I did not set this parameter in the app.xml, just set false to fullscreen.

Can you show me some basic code what you used? I just tried out the away3d examples

To get it to work.

In stage 3D proxy set the initial value of _depthAndStencil to = true;

Also set

_backBufferWidth & _backBufferHeight to initial values (320, 480 - 1024 x 768 or whatever) then you will be able to run everything.

Just got the ant demo running on my ipad2 - runs well.

private var _stage3DManager : Stage3DManager;
  private var _backBufferWidth : int=320;
  private var _backBufferHeight : int=480;
  private var _antiAlias : int=0;
private var _enableDepthAndStencil : Boolean=true; 

That Way?

I got the same error:

The depthAndStencil flag in the application descriptor must match the enableDepthAndStencil Boolean passed to configureBackBuffer on the Context3D object.

Thank you for helping!

Can you post the link of the guide you were using to setup the development environment and what you did after that please.

I am using Flash Builder 4.6 with the most recent Away3d avalible.
I used the Basic_Load3DS example from away3d. I didnt changed the code at all just the app.xml :

I used this link to setup the enviroment:

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/shared/air3-2_flashplayer11-2_p6_releasenotes.pdf

i set -swf-version=15

In the initial window tag:

<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<visible>true</visible>
<renderMode>direct</renderMode>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<depthAndStencil>true</depthAndStencil>

_enableDepthAndStencil
In the Stage3dProxy i set the _enableDepthAndStencil to true.

I attached a rar file with the main.as file main-app.xml and the Stage3DProxy.as.

I tested that on a samsung galaxy tab 1010

Thank you for helping!

Thank mate, I’ll try it out when I get home.

PS. RAR files don’t work on this forum. Try ZIP

I had no problem setting up a very basic mobile project (just a view, not lights, no models nothing). I got the viewport and the stats view.

Then I tried to integrate one of my projects (many models, many materials) and this bufferAndStancil problem appeared.

Thank you for your suggestion of hardcoding the values into the Proxy, I have no idea of why it does not work otherwise.

For anyone else looking for the solution to the problem ” Error #3709: The depthAndStencil flag in the application…”, adding the settings as mentioned above worked for me:

In your application xml (name_of_your_app-app.xml) set:

<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<visible>true</visible>
<renderMode>direct</renderMode>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<depthAndStencil>true</depthAndStencil>

depthAndStencil: true fixed the problem. It seems so obvious now but being new to Away3D and Flash Builder in genral, hadn’t a clue.

With FlashDevelop, the only extra step was to set wmode to direct and I was off and running.
