Adobe Air 3 conflict with 10.7.2

I cannot open YNAB and after several tries I get a msg to install the latest Adobe Air. I tried installing it (which is Adobe Air 3) and nothing happens....
Any advice?

I can't speak to the specific problem with YNAB, but since upgrading my MacBook Pro (2010) to 10.7.2, I too have had problems with installing Adobe AIR 3. If you have a MacBook Pro or other Mac with automatic graphics switching, disabling this in System Prefs -> Energy Saver seems to allow Adobe AIR 3 to install. (I too found this tip on the Adobe forums, and I have confirmed that it works.)
Why this should upset AIR is anyone's guess. But then, Adobe creates nasty bits of software that seem to be completely unable to play nicely; they aren't content to use the standard Mac OS X Installer, they dump files and folders in inappropriate places, they have un-Mac-like UIs which make them unnecessarily difficult to start using, and they cause all sorts of system problems. On one occasion I installed Reader in OS X 10.5 because of a PDF with interactive forms. I spent the whole afternoon restoring my Mac from a TM backup as a result of the constant kernel panics which ensued. I almost wish Adobe didn't make software for the Mac.

Now...Tomcat6029 are a Windows service and it start with user SYSTEM.
In my Java project i build a .doc file and i try to open it directly with default windows application:
FinalFile = "prova.doc";
File file = new File("C:\\MELCOS\\run\\web\\tomcat6029\\webapps\\MELCOS\\fronte_quadro\\"+FinalFile);
Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
desktop.open(file);
The process start (for example WINWORD.exe) but start with user SYSTEM, and user interface of Microsoft Word don't start.
(I've try to use getDesktop, ProcessBuilder, getRuntime without results).
If i try to open directly .doc like browser (stop on url http://localhost:8080/MELCOS/fronte_quadro/prova.doc) Adobe AIR don't open anything.
I've read that there is a method named openWithDefaultApplication, but i haven't find if it's possible to call this method in java file.
Can you help me?
I've got to start Microsoft Word (in this example) and open my files, or i've to open a pop-up like browser's "open - save as - close" window.
Thanks.

Thanks Chris,
i try to create file "open_document.js":
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.net.FileFilter;
var f = air.File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("preventivo_11.doc");
f.openWithDefaultApplication();
when i try to open this file in Adobe AIR (i call http://localhost:8080/MyProject/document/open_document.js"), Adobe Air open new window and with my file .js like a normal text file.
I try also with "open_document.html":

Why? What i have to do?
Thanks
P.S. i've got error with import: flash.ecc... and if i remove import, error with air.File.

I cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X.

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and every time I try to install Air Adobe 3 I get the message
"You cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X."
Could anyone help me?
Jai

Hi,
Adobe won't be developing for 10.5.8 new features (including new runtime) only security relates updates for existing runtimes (Flash 10.3.*/Air 2.7.*). Flash 11/Air 3.0 are only supported on 10.6.8.*/10.7.*, see:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91694.html#main_system_requirements
There is recent, lengthy thread on forums with Adobe's employees statements on that subject (support/development for 10.5.* and newer) but I cannot find it quickly as basically forum search is broken/hard to do,
regards,
Peter

Testing adobe air application with qtp

Hi,
We want to test our adobe air applications with quicktest. Where can I find addin for QTP and how do the AIR applcation have to be developed? What have to be done? There is no much info in google about this.
Thank you in advanced!

QTP does not currently work with AIR applications. It will work with Web deployed FLEX applications.
I have been told by Adobe that whilst they're not sure of an exact date, they do believe that QTP will be supported in AIR with Flex 4.
You might want to look at some alternatives:

Testing adobe air applications with fake apple certificate in iOS simulator running in a hackintosh

I can compile an Adobe Air application on windows with a fake apple certificate. Can I test this application in iOS Simulator running on a hackintosh? Or is the simulator blocking testing of IPA outside from XCode ie: it's not a standalone simulator for IPA files. Are there any affordable web service for testing IPA with a true emulator or real device? I'm asking this because Flash Builder doesn't provide a true simulator, it lacks essential API functions such as NativeWindow.

Hello,
thanksk so far. I can now create an ANE, hopefully it is correct...
Now, while trying to use it in my mobile application, calling the Constructor of my SWC interface > call initNativeExtension() I get an:
Type Error #1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
It seems that my code cannot load the ANE because I cannot instatiate the extension object.
Can you help me ?

Accidentally associated Adobe AIR file with Acrobat, now an otherwise easily fixed problem has been causing me far too much anger.

I accidentally associated an Adobe AIR file to open Adobe Acrobat in it's stead, now an otherwise easily fixed problem has been causing me far too much anger.
Basically I downloaded an .air file after recently reformatting my computer, and I tried to open it with Acrobat. Now, since there is no actual application and or shortcut created by AIR I can't just tell the file to use that. I've found that I'm not alone in this issue, have tried a few things I've read on both this forum and others, and have come to no resolution as of yet. This file isn't anything of any great significance, but it bugs me so much that at this point I just want to know how to fix this and win this little battle.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

Thank JJMack - that has helped me get closer to the problem.
I opened the resource monitor and you can see a screenshot of what is going on when I try to save a simple, 9 Kb graphic. (I'm saving an RGB JPG, not a PNG or animated GIF file. Doing anything complex / memory intensive than saving or simple edits in PS is almost impossible.)
As you can see from the screencap below, when I save (it doesn't make a difference if it is save vs. save to web or a network or local drive) Photoshop becomes unresponsive. (From past experiences, if I try to switch to a non-Adobe program it will also freeze and sometimes crash.) When PS becomes unresponsive, the NT Kernel & System immediately goes to the top of the list and uses 200+ threads.
From there Photoshop will typically be frozen for about a minute, then will recover and take another minute or two to finish the save. At that point PS is okay, but the rest of the computer is still frozen with CPU oscillating up to almost 100%.
As soon as the NT Kernel & System settles down, everything is back to normal again (as long as I haven't used other programs, which in one case required a hard reboot.)
It is pretty clear the problem is rooted in Adobe / Window 7 as I only have this problem with Adobe programs. (Illustrator isn't as bad, but I've had problems with it as well.)
The question is: How do I fix this, as it is killing my ability to work?
Thanks! Julie

Can developers distribute the Adobe AIR installer with their desktop applications?

Yes. In addition to creating and distributing cross-platform Adobe AIR application installer files, it is possible for developers to write their own custom native installers that install Adobe AIR and the Adobe AIR application.
In order to do this, developers must first apply for and receive a free http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.

I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review. In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.

Adobe Air Synchronization with SQlite

I want to develop a desktop application in Adobe Air with persisted local storage that will be catered by Adobe Air's SQLite. I want to implement row based synchronization and I've created the algorithm to do so (using timestamp field in the tables and comparing with lastsynced timestamp etc). I want this application to be accessible both offline and online. When Online, I want to sync the local db's newly edited row to online database (MySQL) but when application is being used in offline, i want to log all the edited rows and as soon as internet connection is restored, i want to sync all rows that were edited in offline mode to online DB. I am new to Adobe Air so can anyone guide that once we've stored the data in SQLite, how can we transmit/sync the desired rows to online DB? i've heard that via BLAZEDS and Adobe LiveCycle Data Services, i can achieve my goal but Adobe LCDS is too expensive. Can anyone suggest how this can be done in BlazeDS? can anyone suggest me the libraries or APIs for that? also if i am using SQlite at client end and MySQL at server end, is it going to pose any problem? Please guide. thanks.

Hide/Show Adobe AIR app with a windows shortcut

Hello all,
Hope to find some answers here. This is what we are trying to achieve
-- Application with launch at OS startup or user will start the application .
-- Once the application started, it should run in background (No window will be visible)
-- Application should become visible if assinged keyboard shortcut is triggered (e.g. ALT+CTRL+A) , even if the user is working on another applicaiton.
-- User works on the app and if clicks anywhere out of context of the application, it should again go back to background.
Hope this is possible in AIR. We are exploring AIR and above scenario is very important for us.
Thanks for help in adance,

Pretty long set of questions. Let's see.
Application startup:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.startAtLogin = true; // default is false, so app does not open at login
Run in background
<mx:WindowedApplication has a property called "visible".
If false the window is not visible when the app is started.
-- Application should become visible if assinged keyboard shortcut is triggered (e.g. ALT+CTRL+A) , even if the user is working on another applicaiton.
Afaik, Adobe Air applications have to have focus to listen to keyboard events.
Click out of context
You can handle it via the deactivate event like this:
<mx:WindowedApplication ... deactivate="trace('app deselected')">

Adobe AIR communicate with PHP

Hi,
How can I have Adobe AIR program to communicate with PHP? For example, I need my app to get some value from PHP and display it. I have tried with "webservice" and using the example I found here: http://dimuthuc.blogspot.com/2008/01/php-webservice-consume-from-flex.html. But it doesn't work, and it shows "Error #1088: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
How can I get it works? Is there any other good example? Thanks.

My php is exactly the same as from the example from http://dimuthuc.blogspot.com/2008/01/php-webservice-consume-from-flex.html.
I am totally no idea how Flex work with PHP. Will Flex able to grape a value of the PHP which I simply do an echo on PHP side?

Is Adobe AIR compatible with the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF)?

Yes, OSMF can be used to play back content within an Adobe AIR application.

Hi Pierre,
Would you mind adding this as a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com? I went to look to see if there was an existing bug already in place but couldn't find one. If you can, note this thread url in the bug and post back with the bug URL and I'll follow up internally.
In Yue's original bug, he was able to narrow this down to memory leaks in the spark component video display. He ended up working around it by using the mx video display.
Thanks,
Chris

Adobe Air installed with Cricut Craft Room

I installed Cricut Craft Room and in the process, Adobe Air was downloaded. When I went to sync to Cricut Craft Room, I received this Air error message: "Sorry, an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
I have un-installed, tried to re-install and still no success. It appears to download correctly until I try and run something. I have Windows 7 environment and Air 3.7.0.1860 was installed.

What operating system are you using? Here's a post that should help, though the file location is for XP:
Re: Adobe Air installation problems XP SP3
On Vista and above, you'd put the eulaAccepted file in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\AIR folder.

Synchronizing the Adobe Air application with the remote server daily

I am building a desktop application which is built in Adobe
Air using FlexBuilder3. I want my application to connect to remote
server daily at a particular time on a day and check for updates
and download them, irrespective of whether the application window
is active or it is closed.
I know how to acheive this, if the application window is
active(window is open) by setting a Timer function , but the
applcation runs into problems if the window is closed and cannot be
connected to server to check for updates.
Can I make the code work(timer function) even when the window
is closed in the background process?
Please help me out in acheiving this, I will be very
grateful....

Bump. Wondering about this too.

Adobe Air application with Oracle??

Hi there,
I am a newbee on this forum as well as for developing Adobe
Air applications. Can any one tell me whether i can use oracle as
database for adobe air apps or not. What about SQL Server instead
of SQLite.
Thanx in advance. Awaiting for your quick & favourable
reply.
Regards,
Harish

You can use java and servlets to talk to the database. If you
have your servlet setup, just have it output xml and your flex can
process the results:
<mx:HTTPService id="dbService" useProxy="false"
method="GET" result="processResults" url="{servletURL}"/>
Then you call something like this in Actionscript:
private function init():void {
var s:String = 'args';
var params:Object = {};
params[s] = s;
params["password"] = password;
params["user"] = user;
dbService.send(params);
You can then handle the results in a method:
private function processResults(event:ResultEvent):void { }
or access them directly in an object via
dbService.lastResult.
Hope that helps. It would take a lot of time to explain it
more in depth and there are certainly other ways to accomplish
this.

Unable to install an Adobe AIR application with -location to correct path

Hi
Im trying to silent install an air app on the command line (Windows). But the path i use after -location is ignored.
This is the code im using:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe" "-silent" "-location" "C:\Program Files\my_app_name" "C:\Program Files\my_app_name.air"
What ever i add after -location isnt used and it gets added to the default location. Has anybody else found this?
Thanks
James

Thanks and see this article, the detail is not what is the command that allows me themassive installation of AIR application.
