Robohelp 9 Adobe Air Browser Based Help not rendering on IIS Server 7.5

Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue where the output (Adobe Air browser based help) is not rendering properly on the IIS Server 7.5 that it is published to.
I have updated the icons in the skin, and when viewed locally the site works fine. When it is published to the webserver the new icons do not show up, and the banner does not render in the new color. The site is using the unipane adobe air browser based help template.
I've had the dev team restart the webserver twice, and for some reason the flash object simply won't update.
Anyone else see this before?
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry
If memory serves, Browser Based AIRHelp uses Flash elements like FlashHelp does. I recall a few years ago that FlashHelp had the same issues on some servers. Further, if memory serves, the fix was to ask your web server folks to tweak the server by adjusting the MIME types so it will properly serve Flash items.
Adobe used to have a KB article on this. Unfortunately, time seems to have caused it to evaporate. Grrrrr
Cheers... Rick

Adobe AIR Browser Based Help Edit Home Button URL

I'm using the unipane template for my adobe air browser based help, and need to edit the URL that the home button uses. Currently, the home button will take me to a page displaying a table of contents structure instead of the default topic I use as the homepage.
Is there a way to edit this url that the home button in the unipane template?
Thank you,
Jerry

Not that I know of. I guess if you hacked the installed AIR help you might find a way of doing it but that hack would have to be done on every PC after installation. Obviously that is a non-starter.
The more people who request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

MergedProjects dont appear in Adobe Air Browser Based TOC when published to a server

MergedProjects dont appear in Adobe Air Browser Based Help when published to a server - its works fine on my local machine. The topics are there on the server as they appear in the Search, but the do not appear in the TOC.
I have looked at another similar thread to this on the forum but there doesn't seem to be any resolution as yet?
I am publishing to local machine and then uploading to the server.
Thanks

Just to confirm - these files have indeed fixed the merged TOC display problem.
Thanks Peter.

Firefox does not display my customised Adobe Air browser based skin when viewed from a server

Hi,
I have edited the skin for my Adobe Air Browser based help. It appears fine in Explorer and Chrome, but Firefox displays the default black Air skin when viewed from a server.
However, it appears OK when viewed locally on my machine in Firefox?
Does anyone know why this is or if there is a way to make my customised skin display when viewed from a server using the Firefox browser?
Cheers

Peter,
I think this was it:

although my problem is just with Firefox - my amended skin displays fine in Internet Explorer.
Firefox just applies the default Midnight Black skin.

Browser compatibility for Adobe AIR (browser-based version)

Hi there,
I'm using RoboHelp 10 to create the browser-based version of Adobe AIR. My understanding is that this version of AIR uses Flash for some of the navigation, such as the table of contents.
Can anyone else share their findings on which browsers and Flash plug-ins will reliably display the browser-based version of AIR? I've found that it displays fine on IE 8, but not IE 9, and not Google Chrome (version 23).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Robert

Hi Peter,
I've spent more time looking at my project and I am not getting the results I need.
To summarize, I've created a browser-based version of Adobe AIR that is a local copy. It runs fine on IE 8, but not Google Chrome (version 23) or IE 9. I've also tried created a very small second RoboHelp project and I get the same results--the index.htm page is blank in Chrome and IE 9.
In Chrome, I've double-checked that it is running Flash version 11.5.31.5. I've noticed that Chrome changes my file path (see attached screen capture).
I'm at a loss to figure out why this is not displaying, as expected.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Robert

Adobe AIR version compatibility

Hi,
I am trying to run my application built in Flex Builder 3 and
compatibility with Adobe AIR beta 3 on Adobe AIR 1.0 (i.e. latest
version 1.0.7.4880); but its not working. It gives "This
application requires a version of Adobe AIR which is no longer
supported. Please contact the application author for an updated
version."
So is there any solution for this, that i can run my Adobe
AIR beta 3 compatible application on Adobe AIR 1.0 (i.e.
1.0.7.4880)?
Thanks,
vijayataV

No, AIR applications that target Beta 3 can only be run on
Beta 3. To target the 1.0 release, you must migrate your
application. In most cases, this only requires changing the
namespace in the application descriptor to refer to 1.0.

Adobe Air Browser (HTMLLoader) Doesn't Support HTML5

Is there any way to replace the HTMLLoader that is in the Adobe Air SDK with one of the native browsers on the user's system?
In my Air app, there is an inline browser that loads content from a website that looks and works fine in native IE, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome... But the Air browser apparently doesn't support local storage... And the page I try to load inline requires that support.

Unforunately, not with HTMLLoader but you can with StageWebView by passing in true in the constructor.

Using the Air Browser inside an Air Desktop App - how to activate webgl?

Hello,
I´m using Adobe Air/Flex to build a Desktop App. Inside the App the user should be able to access an Internet Browser. This part is actually working so far.
BUT: THE ADOBE AIR BROWSER IS NOT SUPPORTING WEBGL.
Is there any method to activate the WebGL Support so I could open WebGL-Dependent URLs from Inside my Desktop App?
Sure, I could tell the User he should Alt+Tab to switch to an WebGL-Compatible Browser, but it would so much better if this all would work from inside my Application.
Thanks for answering!

Hi Krazy,
With the monitor and Bluetooth peripherals connected, when you close the lid the machine will begin the sleep process. The Bluetooth (if set to wake the machine, which it should) when you activate one of the Bluetooth will then wake the machine and you're free to use it normally.
To answer your last question, you can turn off the machine and leave the setup as is without any problems.

Adobe AIR Output using Unipane Template - Problem in Publishing

Hi,
I have created new Adobe AIR browser based help using the Unipane template. When I generate the output, I specify a folder path in the Start Page field and click Finish. I can see the output excatly I have prepared when I select the first topic in the same folder.
But the problem is when I copy the folder and paste in the new location and click the first topic, it shows the template only, my content is missing. Because of this I could not send my output to the client.
If any one please guide me What should I do? I have prepared an entire Help system but now I could not send it to client. Please guide me.
Regards,
Ar.Raj

In another thread (now deleted) AR Raj has posted that he cannot locate the previous thread with the same problem.
I am adding AR Raj's post here as it relates to this thread.
I will look later to try to find the post but if anyone else remembers it, please add the link in this thread.
I have created a help system using the Unipane template of Adobe AIR feature and when I open the first topic of the help locally in my system, it displays with the skin I have selected when initially generated. But when I try to host the help in the Internet using IIS Mgr, the help open with the default skin 'Black Pearl' with a default message at the bottom 'Powered by Robohelp' eventhough I have used the skin 'Aqua Grey'. I have also replaced the message with my client name, still it opens with the same message. The probelem arise when I try to host the help system, but locally in my system it works fine.
Mr.Peter Grainge told me that this issue was raised already and it got answered. I have searched Adobe AIR forum for a day long, but I could not locate the answer.
If anyone can help me to solve this, I have to deliver it to the client who repeately ask me about the Help system.
Please anyone guide me to correct this.

Adobe Air Damaged can't uninstall and browser wont run

Hi,
I am in snowed in on a remote hillside in the Scottish Highlands.
My elderly neighbour - half a mile a way has been having trouble with her computer - I am trying to help her get back online
She is running XP and IE (I believe it is 7 but as you will see this isnt easy to determine)
Her life's work is on the computer (she is a biologist)
Our internet is *very* slow - the best we can get is 0.5Mb/s
The only browser installed on her system is IE, when it starts it immediately fails with the windows message box "Adobe Air - the installation of this application is damaged. try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance" The browser then immediately exits and the computer crashes If you shut it down you then get a blue screen with an IRQL error.
If you dont launch the browser the computer seems to work ok
As there is no other browser on the computer getting a new adobe installer on it is hard
You can't uninstall as the system crashes on uninstall
I have tried going back to an earlier restore point - same problem
I have tried safe mode - same problem
It seems to be running air v 2.0.4.13090
I have searched for adobeairinstaller.exe on the system so I can try a command line uninstall but can't locate it
I think the file must be damaged and so wondered if I might hack the registry to try and stop it loading
I *think* i have backed up all of the data and email but partly due to our slow internet [the windows update process will take several days] and partly due to the fact that she reinstalling some of her apps may prove impossible I *Really* dont want to format and start again
Any help - gratefully received - Please remember there is no working browser so anything that has to be downloaded has to be done here and walked up the hill through the snow on a usb key.
install log (just the most recent section] attached
Many Thanks
Tim

ok I solved it myself
1/ use windows XP built in FTP to download Mozilla firefox from their ftp site
2/ use that to download adobe air latest installer
3/ use command line adobeairinstaller.exe -uninstall
4/ better but ie still not working so go to microsoft download centre (in firefox) and download an ie upgrade and install it
5/ reinstall air
job done

Link in Adobe AIR JavaScript app is incorrectly opening the app in the default browser

I have a couple of links in my Adobe AIR JavaScript app that are part of the app's UI, which when clicked are causing the app to be loaded into a new tab in my default browser.
This is only happening with two links (Save and Cancel on a form), and not all links in my UI. The two links that are having the issue are defined in an external HTML file that I load a runtime and connect to the DOM. The links that are defined in the main HTML file that is loaded when the app starts up do not have this problem.
Here is how I am loading the template and plugging it into the DOM
var win = document.createElement("div");
var f = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("lib/partials/edit_form.html");
var fs = new air.FileStream();
fs.open(f, air.FileMode.READ);
var content = fs.readUTFBytes(fs.bytesAvailable);
fs.close();
var template = new Template(content);
win.innerHTML = template.evaluate(data);
document.body.insertBefore(win, document.body.firstChild);
The links themselves are coded like this:
<a href="#" id="save_button" onclick="return false;"></a>
<a href="#" id="cancel_button" onclick="return false;"></a>
I am using the Prototype JS library to observe the 'click' event for each of these links like so:
$('save_button').observe('click', onSave);
$('save_button').observe('click', onCancel);
This app shows content created by users, which can contain links to external web sites. To get the external links to open in the browser (as opposed to inside my Adobe AIR window), I am doing the following in a script tag in the head of my main HTML file:
window.htmlLoader.navigateInSystemBrowser = true
I've found that if I set window.htmlLoader.navigateInSystemBrowser = false, then the issue with the Save and Cancel links described above goes away. However, I need to have window.htmlLoader.navigateInSystemBrowser = true so that external links in the user content open up in the browser, not in Adobe AIR.
Another piece of evidence is that the Save and Cancel links only incorrectly open a browser the first time you click on them after launching the app. Subsequent clicks work fine and do not have the issue.
Any ideas on why the links that are plugged into the DOM after app start up have this issue, and only the first time you click on them?

Not sure where this comes from, but I suspect it has something to do with the security restrictions that AIR has in place, related to dynamic JS evaluation after the document is loaded.
Make sure you read http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/html/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7f0e.html#WS 5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ef8
For example, I've spotted the two onclick="return false;" you have in your code. The evaluation of the onclick attribute after the page loaded event would fail in AIR.

No Adobe air app will run Only Flash Web browser....

So I have re-installed Flash Builder So when I try and run a Adobe air app from the Flash Builder It brings up a prompt everytime saying - If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run. When I kill the Adobe Air debugger in the Task manager it pops up again saying If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
After waiting a few moments from trying again I get a message: Unable to connect to the Application to fetch profile data. Please try profiling the application again.
With Flash based - web browser apps - they run fine with no issue. How ever its only adobe air - desktop apps that run this way. This is the third time I have installed FB 4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit. last night it was all woprking fine I was able to debug my Flash Application and everything was working - it has been doing this all day.

I had the same issue suddenly today
After hours of scratching my head - and just before re-installing FlashBuilder 4.5 - I found this suggestion
I had an entry in the "mm.cfg" file:
PreloadSWF=C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9us94hs0.default\e xtensions\[email protected]\chrome\content\flashfirebug\flashfirebug.swf
- I deleted the line and it now works
---- aaarrrrggghhh - wasted time
thanks

Adobe Air I cannot open up a popup browser

I'm having a problem with adobe air. I cannot open up a popup
browser window from clicking on a button in a adobe air program. I
can only open up browser windows within existing browser windows or
a new window if none is open.

Update:
I can get this to work:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.mydomain.com");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
but not this:
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("javascript:window.open('
http://www.mydomain.com','NameofWindow','width=800,height
=600,top=0,left=0'); void(0);");
navigateToURL(request);

Where are links (that work) to download Adobe AIR Photoshop Elements10 Inspiration Browser UPDATES?

In updating Photoshop Elements 10, I was instructed to uninstall both the Photoshop Elements 10 Inspiration Browser and Adobe AIR software. I did. But now I don't have the weblink where I can download the suggested updates. (They were uninstalled along with the software.)
Anyone have the weblinks (that work) for updating both Photoshop Elements 10 Inspiration Brower -AND- Adobe AIR?
Thanks.
RMP

You can't get with out AIR. you could uninstall it afterwards.
i believe there is switch you could user when installing it to diable the AIR. I have it disabled at work, but I'm also
packaging it for mass deployment to 7000 machines. Check out appdeploy.com
If you don't want AIR and Acrobat.com you need to get the .msi and download the custom wizard and make an .mst file and run those. Quite fun. Or like I ssaid just run the set up and uninstall those features.
