Air application loading flex applications(no Air) with flex linked as RSL.
Hello
I am trying to make an AIR application which loads number of flex applications(no AIR). The subapplications are using the Flex SDK as a RSL, and each of them can use different version of the SDK.
The problem is that the subapplicationsare trying to load the needed SDK from local filesystem, which they are not permited.
public class CrossDomainRSLItem extends RSLItem
override public function load(progressHandler:Function,
completeHandler:Function,
ioErrorHandler:Function,
securityErrorHandler:Function,
rslErrorHandler:Function):void
Hi again.
Is there any way to reliably edit the trust files with AIR application?
As I see it we have to make the user to add our folder to the trusted locations, or to use some application which can find and write in the FlashPlayerTrust (native for the specific OS installer for example.). (even finding this directory with an AIR application seems not 100% reliable).
Thanks in advance for you help.
Ps: Right now I am trying to patch this.
I compiled some sub-applications using custom preloader class(the controlling class, not the UI), where I removed the RSL loading. After that in an ApplicationDomain I load all the RSLs with loaders. After that I load the sub-application in the same domain. On paper this should work, but the sub-application can't find the classes from the RSLs(the first exeption is that there is no definition for spark.components.Application)

where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.
How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it. -
i buy a macbook air with my friend and i changed the apple id also.at first i can update the application but now its impossible to update the application.when i clock to update it shows the id of my fren andsomebody do you have idea to solve this problem.
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support. -
Does anyone use (or plan to use) their MacBook Air with pro applications like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Motion 4, Adobe Photoshop, etc.?
I love the form factor of these, but don't know if they could handle the serious programs well.I've been thinking about this too. I think realistically the "Express" apps are about as far as you could go on this machine with decent performance. The video card is the same as the MBP 13" but with that processor I can't see it being able to handle the workload. Then again I've got friends running Hackintoshs on Lenovo netbooks using After Effects (insane as that sounds) so who knows? I also wonder how much the performance of the flash storage will offset the processor performance, if it all. I think for the most part the new Air's are a little higher-end general purpose machines.

External JS from AIR with Flex?
Hi,
I wonder if this is possible. I have a AIR application built
using Flex, I would like to apply syntax highlight within the flex
application - but my actionscript experience is very limited.
My question:
I've used JavaScript syntax highlighting scripts before
(shjs) - I would like to use this package inside my Flex
application. Is this possible, can I load and use external
JavaScript files inside Flex/Air apps?
I see this can be done using Flex in a Browser (flex without
AIR) with the 'ExternalInterface API' - is this currently available
for AIR or is there any other method available to do this?
To me this is a huge factor for the success of Flex inside
AIR. I have a huge range of JavaScript libraries I've built over
the years, it would really suck if I had to rewrite everything in
ActionScript.
Any ideas??Hi,
With AIR, you don't need to worry or think about
ExternalInterface. AIR comes in built with webkit. Just use the
mx:HTML control to load your html page containing the javascript
and you will be able to make JS calls from your Flex side.
But do note that there are limitations to what sort of JS can
be run within the HTML control. Especially around "eval". Take a
look at

Photoshop CC not loading on MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)
Photoshop CC is not loading at all after updating my 2013 MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.9.

Webcam not working in AIR with Flex 4.0 SDK
Hello everybody,
I have created an AIR application with the Flex 4.0 SDK which tries to activate a webcam. When I run the application, the webcam signalizes that it has been successfuly activated but unfortunately I do not receive a camera image, nor do I receive an activation or error event from the camera. When I change the application type to "web", everything works just fine.
According to this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2580536 , you should activate the Flex 3 compatibility mode. Unfortunately, I rely heavily on Flex 4 components which cannot be changed or removed.
Is there a way to activate the webcam under AIR with Flex 4?
Best regards,
BerndI used ditto on Mac. I would make a backup copy of the Flex SDK first.
Then use ditto to update the SDK with AIR SDK.

Reload Software:552 and then "Application loader was unable to connect with your device."
Hi guys
I'm new to this forum and looking for a help please..
My curve 8900 got the "Reload Software:552" message on the screen. I was trying to uninstall an application and after it asked me to reboot, it showed me that message. I already try to reinstall the OS like most of you guys said. But when I already in the process of that, it showed me "Application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect yout device, enter password, if requiered, and retry"
I was trying this steps..
1. use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager
2. connect the BlackBerry to the computer using a USB cable
3. click application loader, then start
4. then i choose the OS and apps i want to install it also
5. after i click finish and the process start, i stuck on the task 2 of 5 "wait for device initialization" and then the message "Application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect yout device, enter password, if requiered, and retry" showed.
I try and try again but there is no use. it keeps show that message.
help me please, this really frustrates me
Thanks in advance guys..1. Make certain your USB cable is connected to a main REAR USB port on the rear of the PC, not a front USB port, not a USB hub.
2. Try loading the OS with these instructions (make sure that Desktop Manager is not running):
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Mail does not load the mail after opening with 10.10.3 on macbook air
Under Window in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.
If it's red, this usually means it's missing the password.
For Incoming messages, set in the account window, under Account Information tab.
For Outgoing (SMTP) messages, follow these steps:
EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP: select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
Under Advanced Tab:
Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
Verify if your server require SSL.
User Name. Enter full email address eg. [email protected]
Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password more info)
Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
Do you see green light now for your account SMTP? -
I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help
I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that. -
AIR with JavaScript and AJAX (noob design issues)
Okay, so as the subject states, I'm a noob when it comes to designing an AIR app. My question is kind of two fold:
First, as a matter of design, I've got a main window that has several drop-down type menus "File", "Preferences", "Help" that kind of thing. My plan was to keep reusing the main window for each of my different screens (unless a pop-up/dialog type screen was called for)
Anyway, the application I'm writing will, in part, handle a database of patrons. So under one of the menus (File in this case) I've got a "Patron" option. Clicking on "Patron" fires a function called newPatron() which in turn calls my function ebo.displayScreen('patron.htm'). This latter function takes the filename passed in and reads that file then dumps it's contents out to the main screen.
So, my main window consists (in part) of the following html:
<body onload="ebo.doLoad();">
<div id="content"></div>
</body>
then my displayScreen function looks like this:
function displayScreen(filename){
var my = {};
// get a handle on the file...
my.file = air.File.applicationDirectory(resolvePath(filename);
// get a handle on the stream...
my.stream = new air.FileStream();
//open the stream for read...
my.stream.open(my.file, air.FileMode.READ);
// read the data...
my.data = my.stream.readUTFBytes(my.stream.bytesAvailable);
// close the stream...
my.stream.close();
// update the screen (I'm using jQuery here)
$("#content").empty().append(my.data);
So anyway, this works like a champ. I click on "Patron" from my file menu and the screen changes to display the contents of patron.htm.
Currently, patron.htm just contains the following:
<div style="text-align:left;">
<input type="button" value="add" onclick="ebo.add(1,2);" />
</div>
<div id="result"><div>
ebo.add looks like this:
function add(a,b){
var my = {};
my.result = a + b;
$("#result").empty().append(my.result + "<br />");
So, if anyone hasn't guessed by now, the code contained in the ebo namespace gets included on the main screen when the application loads, and my problem is that despite the fact that once the patron.htm file is loaded in the content div by clicking on the menu option, my button on that screen refuses to work. I've even tried just having the button do an alert directly,
<input type="button" value="add" onclick="alert('AIRRocks!');" />
but even that fails!
So, I added some code to the main page to test a button from there...
<body onload="ebo.doLoad();">
<input type="button" value="add" onclick="ebo.add(1,10);" />
<div id="result"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</body>
So, now when the main screen loads, I get an "add" button and when I click it the number 11 appears in the "result" div. When I click on the Patron menu option, the new html and javascript are loaded into the "content" div, but the add button in that area refuses to work!
What gives? I'm sure I'm missing something. So I guess the two questions are: is my scheme of loading new content into the main window by reading the contents of a file, flawed in some way? Or am I just missing something about making calls from this dynamically loaded content? It *looks* like it should work fine, but if I can't make javascript calls from the resultant content, then the concept is no good.
I realize this has been a somewhat long winded post, but hopefully it describes in enough detail the problem I'm having. I should maybe add that I've looked at what's in the DOM using the AIR HTML/JS Application Inspector and it looks like everything should work perfectly.
I hope someone out there can help me and might have the patience to explain where I've gone wrong. I might also mention that the only book I've read (or am reading) on AIR with JavaScript and AJAX is "Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) with Ajax: Visual QuickPro Guide"... it really hasn't covered aspects of what makes good design (like what's the best way to reuse the main application window to hold interactive content)... but anyway, there you have it.
Again, I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks!
ChrisThanks for responding, Andy. I don't think I'm losing my namespace. That
thought had crossed my mind, which is why (and I thought I put this in my
original post) I tried putting a somple alert in the onclick event of the
button in my "patron.htm" file... but that simple alert doesn't even work.
:o(
Do you still think it's an issue with the namespace? -

When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
What is the problem and how can I solve it?Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work
I bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
- office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
- firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
- dropbox (ditto)
<these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
MAIN ISSUE:
entourage wont open at all. so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
MY OPTIONS:
please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
A) try to get office 2008 to work.
when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac? and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
i never had issues my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
cheers!

Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.
