How to Play/Pause All for Adobe Air Application using AS3 in Flash CS4?

I am new to Flash and I'm creating an educational application in AS3 in Flash CS4 for Adobe Air. I want to use buttons to play and pause all content (movieclips AND sound).
I have created play and pause buttons that worked by switching the frame rate between 0 and 20, unfortunately I've realised that it's never really 0fps but rather 0.01fps and so it continues playing, albeit very very slowly. Also this doesn't affect the audio; I have set sound files to Stream which are synced to movieclips on their timelines, but even when the application is set to 0fps the audio continues.
Since I have various levels with numerous movieclips each with synced audio, what i'd like is to be able to do is pause absolutely everything within each movieclip with one button and to be able to resume from the same place using another button. Is this possible? If not, is there a global function to pause/resume the entire application/program?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Its possible but you would need to tell each movieclip and audioclip to play/pause. You can create a for loop inside your mouse event function to find each movieclip and pause/play its timeline and a separate for loop for audio clips. Also instead of setting fame rate to 0 for pause just use a stop() command.

How to sign digital cerificate for adobe air application

Hello freinds Please guide me how to sign the digital cerificate for my adoge air application.
I am working on adobe flex sdk 3.2. so please guide me step by step how to sign my aaplication so that i can distribute it to other users.
this is my first time thats why littlebit confused..

I assume you use Flex Builder. There is a UI that will let create a certificate when you try to export the AIR file.
If you are using ADT directly. Use the '-certificate' option to create a PFX file.

Adobe Air Applications Not launching. Flash Builder 4.5.1

I had this issue before where only flash based applications would launch but not adobe air. The issue is when you click run on adobe air, in the task manager on windows 7, 64 bit you get: Adobe Air Debug Launcher. Killing that gives me: If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
The program never launches hence why you have to kill it in the task manager.
I tried cleaning out the PreloadSWF entry in the mmc.cfg file. This does nothing to help the cause.
Ideas?

Please read the OP on the stale pale loader. I already took out the line in mm.cfg and I set vsible to true (never had to before on any air application Oo)
Tests:
The setting to visible to true though worked..... (again with never had to set that before)

How to embed and play mp4 video in HTML AIR application?

Adobe Air HTML / JS application compiled from SDK command line. I am not using flash pro or flash builder to create the application.
I was using dreamweaver but the dw air plugin seems to have stopped being developed so I switched to using the command line tools.
I am creating desktop air application that has embedded mp3 audio and also I want to embed mp4 video.
Using jQuery and the AIR js plugin I am able to play audio via buttons hooked up via jQuery and the AIR js plugin from the SDK.
What I am doing is creating proofs for clients in AIR and sending link to the client to download the application. I embed the media because I do not want to place them on a website where it could possibly be seen by non-clients and get picked up in the SE's.
I am finding it hard to understand the AIR process for playing video. I read that it is the same procedure as audio but it does not work.
If it was hosted on youtube or somewhere embedding the web player would be simple, just copy paste some code and it works. When actually embedding the video say mp4, f4v, mov, wmv or similar file formats I can't get AIR to play the video. Audio, not a problem it works great.
I would like to do the following with video.
Embed the actual file in the AIR app. I can do this, it gets embedded.
Play, pause and stop the video - Can't get this to work
Get the current stop point and be able to start the video by sending a start point - This is all working with audio I just want to do it with video.
I have searched the forums, the search engines, youtube and read through the documentation on Air but the video does not work at all.
I need code samples and direction on how to make an embedded video play inside of a desktop air application using the HTML / JS air model. I am using the command line tools to create the air package and test the air app.
Please help if you have figured this out.
Thank you.
Not sure if this matters but I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit as my development machine.

In addition I also can not get html5 video to play in the adobe air app. Would this issue be tied to the above?

All Adobe Air applications have stopped working

After running Bit Defender - all my Adobe Air applications are no longer working.
These are Tweet Deck
SEESMIC Desktop
basically they won't communicate with twitter - they say user name and password is wrong when it is not.

That's odd, I had a problem with my Twitter/Tweetdeck feed last week but it seemed to resolve itself. I'm not sure what AIR could be doing to interfere here. Have you tried a native application out to see if it is able to authenticate you with Twitter? You might also want to check in the TweetDeck forums to see if others have encountered this issue. Please let me know how it goes.

Adobe Air Application Installer.exe Documentation

Hello All,
i am having severe problems retrieving the documentation for "Adobe Air Application Installer.exe"
We have applied as Publisher for Air Apps here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
and filled out the form
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=air_distribution2
After that we were hoping to receive documentation about seamless install of air applications, but we are waiting right now ...
So, time is running out, and i need the documentation of the "Adobe Air App Installer.exe"
So far i have managed to silently install an air app:
'$1 -silent -programMenu -location "$INSTDIR" "$TEMP\AirApp.air"' $0
Where $1 is the "Adobe Air Installer.exe" retrieved from the registry
$INSTDIR is the installation target path
$TEMP is a temporary folder, containing the to install Air Application
the above command works fine for clean and empty systems with no prior versions of the application installed.
what i now miss are the return code meanings, ranging from 0..9 where i only know that 0 means success !
And i would like to have a documentation about the
-update
and the
-uninstall
parameters for seamless installation/deinstallation of a whole air app with data

hi there,
i got the documentation also, dunno why they make it so hard
to get it
thank you very much !
greets from joymoney
ck
I was also facing this problem.
Today I got this
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_runtime_redist/air_runtime_redist.pdf
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_runtime_redist/air_runtime_redist.pdf

Adobe AIR Application Installer command-line

Could someone provide the command-line reference (parameters
and usage) for Adobe AIR Application Installer?
Tks!

Hey Oliver!
I've applied for an AIR distribution license but I still have
some doubts.
My application is based in one .air component and another one
service created using C++. So, in order to install my application,
I need to install both applications. I've used the bundled
installation mentioned in the distribution docs, but it is not the
best solution for my problem. I would like to have just one entry
point in the “Add/Remove Programs” applet.
Is there another way to deliver the .air application (e.g.
not using the Adobe AIR Application Installer)?
For example, is it possible get all files needed to create my
.air file and install them without creating the .air file properly?
I mean, is there any license or technical restrictions that
invalidate this approach?
Thanks!

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR - Beta 2 Announced

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR is now updated. You can
download the new version for FREE from Adobe labs -
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/robohelp/.
It has added a long list of novel features - first time for a HATT.
Now, besides multiple tabs, favorites, commenting and multiple
skins like Multi-Tab Accordion and Uni-pane Help, you have another
set of new features.
Designed for End Customers - Adobe AIR based Help templates
have been designed keeping in view the end customer. They have some
high-end navigation features like Mini TOC, Breadcrumbs, etc. Apart
from these capabilities, the new Adobe AIR based Help also empowers
the end customers to customize the Help. An end customer can set
their own preferences and customize Help as desired.
Compelling Rich Branded Experience- RoboHelp Packager for
Adobe AIR provides a compelling rich user experience. It includes
templates that help authors package the same content into three
completely different styles – Multi-Tab Accordion, Uni-Pane
or the Classic Tri-Pane Help. Apart from this it also helps the
Authors brand the Help as per Corporate Branding Guidelines. It
provides support for the addition of a Company Logo and a Punch
line in the main Help window. Apart from this it also provides an
About Box in the Help that details the version, description,
copyrights, logos etc.
Auto Update -Adobe AIR based Help applications provide an
Auto Update feature using which updates can be pushed to all
installed connected versions of Help. Usually, the Help content
bundled with the application is never updated, while the web
content is updated with current feature enhancements and additional
resources. Adobe AIR based Help provides you with the option to
publish updates for your end users at a common server location. The
Adobe AIR based Help is intelligent enough to check for updates and
prompts users to apply updates when it detects a new version is
available.
Review Workflows / Personalization of Help
Adobe AIR based help files can be configured in such a way
that you can add comments to topics and publish those comments at a
common location. This feature enables a complete review workflow,
whether or not the reviewer is a part of your group/organization.
* Reviewers within your network: Reviewers can publish their
comments to an XML file on a shared folder. They can also
synchronize the comments from other reviewers on the same network.
This enable multiple reviewers to simultaneously view the comments
being made by other reviewers as they review.
* Reviewers outside your network: You can send the .air file
to these reviewers who can then export their comments to an XML
file and send it to you. You can import these comments into your
Adobe AIR application.
Apart from the rewire workflow, the feature is designed to
help an end customer personalize Help by adding comments on the
same. These comments will not be uploaded to the server, however
can be exported to a file and shred with friends over email.
New Classic help Template - A new template called Classic
Help has been added. It is named Classic because it is a Tri-Pane
Help. Apart from that it has got all the power of any other Adobe
AIR based Help template. This template has a new feature called
“How do I” that lists all the browse sequences defined
in the WebHelp. We recommend that authors design their browse
sequences in such a way that they provide complete workflow
information to end customers.
Supports Packaging of Merged WebHelp- RoboHelp Packager for
Adobe AIR now supports merged WebHelp. If an author specifies the
WebHelp folder of a Master project, the Packager is intelligent
enough to detect and convert all referenced projects in the Master
Project. However, one needs to be careful while using this feature.
It doesn’t provide as much flexibility as Merged WebHelp. A
new Package needs to be created every time even when you update any
of the sub projects.
In Beta 2, zoom works flawlessly and search results has been
further improved.
If you have not tried the RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR,
you can download it now for FREE (Adobe RoboHelp 7 required).
Thanks and regards

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR-
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/robohelp/

When you are comparing this to Flash, does this comparison
extend to the requirement for each end user to install the Air
runtime on their PCs before they can access our RoboHelp system?
And that they will also get reminders to update to the latest
version of Air runtime?

Hello guys,
I want to learn about advancad programming because i want to know for intelligent like you good workers...

- Save for backup files: If you want to restore your applications - same that application happens...
Question 2:
How do i know problems of events?

Now can you same example for non-mxml programming?
Thank you best regards, SnakeMedia

Dear Star Traveler, Thanks for your reply. I checked out the support document link you provided but all it really did for me was reinforce the idea that I'm not thinking in a helpful manner about how iCloud operates in connection with my Mac as well as devices like my iPad. The mechanism I had used to get photos into iCloud from my iPad was that I had already had them in an album which the system labeled "My Photo Stream". I used the "iCloud" section of the iPad to turn off the iCloud and it asked if I wanted to store the photos in iCloud I think. When I answered yes, that's when the troublesome deed occurred. Luckily it did not delete any photos which I had in any other album nor did it delete any photos which I have in the main "Photos" directory nor in "Camera Roll". All it did was allegedly transfer photos which were in "My Photo Stream" to the iCloud, deleting the photo stream in the process. Naively I then thought that those photos which had been in the photo stream would then appear when I logged into iCloud and searched around. I now believe however that I never did "create" a PHOTO directory in iCloud and maybe that is why they aren't there. However, when I try to do that, I am unable to unless I have iOS 8 and/or Yosemite. Agree or disagree?? But getting back to the way I think about the iCloud, I always thought of it as an external storage back up drive which was independent of any device or computer/Mac. Now, it seems that's not the case AND even worse, files can get deleted without you knowing about it or approving the specific deletion first!! Why is iCloud not compatible with former versions of iOS and OS X??? That does not make sense to me. What would you recommend if I want greater specific control over which files get stored in iCloud and which do not?????

Pure ActionScript project for Adobe AIR

I've probably missed an obvious button or checkbox somewhere?
I've seen that when you create a new MXML project, you have
the option to target it at AIR. How do you do this for a pure
ActionScript project? (Or import an existing pure ActionScript
project that was written for AIR?)

Hi Mister Lafrance,
But, but it is same problem with creating project after build configure mxml to as. It can to show error - i have tried anything. It can not work while java runtime kills or show a lot of errors. Like this
Error: ...

Please make sure my post!!! Sorry we must to configure manuel with RUN/Debug and adding as files....
Thanks!
Great nice tutorial! I hope because air developer are happy with Adobe Air Applications.
Suggestions:
new functions for executing applications like this flash.system.os.exec or flash.system.exec - If you want to build distributable Air Multi Applications.
Application Air should to make default directory for important distributing air installers. If you want to work 1 or more application in currect directory.
Like this:
/mycompany <- that is root directory was created by frist air installer.
./airapps - that new distributing air installer while you after start of air application
.//airapps/utilities/ <- example Air SDK should to copy into.. or nice air application like this Languagechooser or StyleChooser etc..
./airapps/softwares <- your built application like Widget Builder, Splashup or IconGenerater etc..
./airapps/config/ <- your currect saved config files. Important: all applications of distributing air applications will to load your currect config like Styles and Languages...
./myapp Binary <- create by air installer.
./shared/ <- assets,. libraries, templates and more files were created by Air installer.
Can you make sure for my idea of distributing air applications? We would to talk with new file for Air distributuing packages = *.airdp.
Thanks and best regards, SnakeMedia

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR (BETA)

It is so exciting. It been just a few months since we
released Adobe RoboHelp 7 and a brand new Technical Communication
Suite, and today we are ready to share with you guys what we
perceive as the future of Online Help. All I can say is that Time
flies like an arrow. With this, I welcome you all to this new world
of Web 2.0 and the future of Online Help - check out the Public
Beta of
RoboHelp
Packager for Adobe AIR
The tool is available for Free of Cost and can be used by
customers who have either Adobe RoboHelp 6 or Adobe RoboHelp 7 or
the Technical Communication Suite.
The RoboHelp Packager for Adobe® AIR™ allows you
to convert your existing WebHelp files generated using Adobe
RoboHelp® to an Adobe AIR application. Help and knowledge
bases delivered as Adobe AIR application will have a consistent
look and feel across all platforms.
RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR can:
Generate a single distributable file
similar to a .chm file.
Provide a variety of skins from which a user can choose from.
In addition, for any skin a user can choose different themes, which
control the look and feel in terms of colors and button/icons
images.
Provide a consistent look and feel on all platforms and
operating systems.
Enable you to comment, in addition to using other advanced
features such as Breadcrumbs, Mini TOC and Security (Digital
Signatures).
The output generated after running this tool is an .air file.
This is a single file that has built-in logic to install itself.
The same file can be installed on any platform that has Adobe®
AIR installed. Installing the Adobe AIR runtime is as seamless as
installing the Adobe Flash® Player for your browsers.
Another important aspect of the Adobe AIR installer file is
that it is a single file that contains all of the information
regarding the look and feel of the Help along with the content. It
is one package with no separate viewer required.
To read more about the benefits of packaging your help as
.air file, please visit the following link:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/robohelp/aboutoutput.html

When you are comparing this to Flash, does this comparison
extend to the requirement for each end user to install the Air
runtime on their PCs before they can access our RoboHelp system?
And that they will also get reminders to update to the latest
version of Air runtime?
