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)

Overlaying adobe air sdk 13 in flash builder 4.7

After overlaying adobe air sdk 13 in flash builder 4.7 I have followed the step mentioned on adobe site.
i am getting lots of error in flash builder 4.7 after overlaying.
Can anyone please suggest me how to get it done for flex mobile project.

You are probably missing the updated flash debug player that describes all the new methods to the application.
There is a good walkthrough of how to upgrade flash builder to a new library version, this is described in the first video of hsharma's starling tutorials.
Its very annoying though, i wish adobe would really build in a feature like this to update libraries.

Adobe AIR 2 Beta with Flash Builder 4 Beta 2

I'm trying to figure out how to use AIR 2 with Flash Builder 4. I was initially under the impression that FB4 has AIR2... but the when I create a File object and try to call the function openWithDefaultApplication(). An error occurs saying the function doesn't exist. This is the AIR application I created in FB4. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to install AIR 2 somehow -- and if so, how do I do so?

Thanks in advance.

Download the AIR 2 SDK, make a new copy of the Flex4 SDK (or whichever Flex SDK you want to use) and copy the AIR SDK over it. (If you are on the Mac, you have to be careful that the directories themselves aren't overwritten -- just the files inside them.) You then add the combined SDK to the list in the Flash Builder project properties dialogs.

Adobe Air Applications Not Working on New Mac

I had 2 Adobe Air based applications (TweetDeck & Polaris) running well on my old Mac running OSx 10.4.11 and then migrated everything to my new Mac running 10.5.6. Everything came over fine - except now the two Adobe Air apps aren't working. I've tried reinstalling both apps and Adobe Air, and they still aren't working. Suggestions?

Adobe Air application not installing

Hello, I am using Windows vista 32bit. I have adobe Air installed and installing the program "Adobe Air" succeeds with no issues.
The problem is when I try to install a "*.air" package on this computer it does not function. Windows sees the package and the installer opens. The problem is it just stays in my task manager forever.
Any help on how to debug would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny

I have 64-bit / (x86) windows 7 Home Premium. I've attempted uninstalling and re-installing the latestest AIR version seperately and with Download Helper to no avail. I've also checked my account status and can confirm I have full administrator privileges enabling me to make changes to my computer.
What can I do? I keep on getting the "Sorry, an error occurred,"

Adobe Air ServerSocket not Working the same on XP/Vista/7

I'm having a strange problems with an air socket server i've written.
I have an Air application written using Flash Builder 4. It's basically a simple HTTP server. It's purpose it to open a server on a specific port and serve files (both html and swf) out to a web browser.
When i run the air application on my desktop (windows 7, firefox 4.0b11, ie8, flash builder 4 compiled with flex sck 4.1.0) everything works correctly. Whether i run the server through the Flash Builder debugger or actually do the full packaging and install as a standalone air app then run it using the Air Runtime like any user would. I load up the server, punch in the address from anywhere and the page loads, and the requested swf displays correctly. While the server is running on my desktop i've tested clients including Windows XP and Vista with IE8, HTC Evo4g Android phone, and the Playstation 3 browser. From any tested client with the server running on my desktop all requests are handled correctly and pages/swfs load and display correctly.
The problem comes when i run the air app on another computer. When i package it and install it on one of my two test systems (Windows XP and Windows Vista) things start to go wonky. The Air app loads on the two test systems but when a client tries to use their web browser to request a page things don't display correctly. The client can load the html file fine but the swf that it receives from the server does not display. I can check the log on the status server and see the HTTP GET being processed, and the file sent. However, the browser simply displays a blank box where the SWF should be. With the server running on either of my two test boxes (XP and Vista) the same clients who can connect and display html and swf's delivered from the server experience this problem.
I think i've eliminated browser request as the problem from testing different browsers on different OS's on each of the test installations. As best I can tell, the problem is with the server side of the app. The server uses the SocketServer class to listen for a connection and then writes out the HTML headers and content to the socket manually, i'm not using any external libraries for writing to the socket.
here's the code for writing to the socket when a swf is requested.
     var content:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
     var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
     stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
     stream.readBytes(content);
     stream.close();
     socket.writeUTFBytes("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n");
     socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash\r\n");
     socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Length: " + content.length + "\r\n\r\n");
     socket.writeBytes(content);
I don't believe the problem is with the socket write since it works on my desktop but not when the server is running on another. I'm wondering if the problem is with an external system dependancy. Are there any external libraries, visual c++ runtimes, tcp/ip libraries that Air uses to fulfil requests to sockets on different operating systems/versions? I've been searching around the web and browsing through adobe live docs for a few hours on this but can't seem to find a resolution anywhere. If more detail is needed, please let me know. Any help would be much appreciated.

I appreciate you taking the time to look at this. Good to know I'm not completely crazy, that makes me feel a little better.
The 178774 is bytesLoaded()   and 1096810 is bytesTotal() as seen by the swf.
That's what i was experiencing. The issue you're seeing with it running on vista of the swf apparently only loading 180k of the 1 meg is what i'm experiencing. For me that happens when the server side of things is running on my XP or Vista machine. On Win 7 it works fine. Also, for mp3's it seems to only download the first couple seconds. When i stream an mp3 from the server it only plays a couple of seconds and stops.
Not sure if the index.html file that it serves out is small enough that it gets it in one cycle but for larger files it closes out the socket before sending all the data.
If i get some free time tomorrow i'll see about getting an Ubuntu virtual machine going and test it there as well. I don't have access to a mac to try it on OSX.

AIR Intrinsic Classes-Tried and Proven Approach to building AIR applications in the Flash CS3 IDE

Hi everyone,
For all of you out there who would like to develop AIR
applications
from the Flash CS3 IDE but aren't sure how to get those pesky
intrinsic
classes working, I have a technique that you can work with to
create
your classes and make fully functional AIR applications.
First of all, those solutions out there that list
"intrinsic" functions
in their class definitions won't work. That keyword has been
taken out
and simply won't work. The "native" keyword also doesn't work
because
Flash will reject it. The solution is to do dynamic name
resolution at
runtime to get all the classes you need.
Here's a sample class that returns references to the "File",
"FileStream", and "FileMode" classes:
package com.adobe{
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.display.*;
public class AIR extends MovieClip {
public static function get File():Class {
try {
var classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.File');
} catch (err:ReferenceError) {
return (null);
}//catch
return (classRef);
}//get File
public static function get FileMode():Class {
try {
var
classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileMode');
} catch (err:ReferenceError) {
return (null);
}//catch
return (classRef);
}//get FileMode
public static function get FileStream():Class {
try {
var
classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileStream');
} catch (err:ReferenceError) {
return (null);
}//catch
return (classRef);
}//get FileStream
}//AIR class
}//com.adobe package
I've defined the package as com.adobe but you can call it
whatever you
like. You do, however, need to import "flash.utils.*" because
this
package contains the "getDefinitionByName" method. Here I'm
also
extending the MovieClip class so that I can use the extending
class
(shown next) as the main Document class in the Flash IDE.
Again, this is
entirely up to you. If you have another type of class that
will extend
this one, you can have this one extend Sprite, Math, or
whatever else
you need (or nothing if it's all the same to you).
Now, in the extending class, the Document class of the FLA,
here's the
class that extends and uses it:
package {
import com.adobe.AIR;
public class airtest extends AIR{
public function airtest() {
var field:TextField=new TextField();
field.autoSize='left';
this.addChild(field);
field.text="Fileobject="+File;
}//constructor
}//airtest class
}//package
Here I'm just showing that the class actually exists but not
doing much
with it.
If you run this in the Flash IDE, the text field will show
"File
object=null". This is because in the IDE, there really is no
File
object, it only exists when the SWF is running within the
Integrated
Runtime. However, when you run the SWF as an AIR application
(using the
adl.exe utility that comes with the SDK, for example), the
text field
will now show: "File object=[object File]". Using this
reference, you
can use all of the File methods directly (have a look here
for all of
them:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html).
For example, you can call:
var appResource:File=File.applicationResourceDirectory;
This particular method is static so you don't need an
instance. If you
do (such as when Flash tells you the property isn't static),
simply
create an instance like this:
var fileInstace:File=new File();
fileInstance.someMethod('abc'); //just an example...read the
reference
for actual function calls
Because the getter function in the AIR class returns a Class
reference,
it allows you to perform all of these actions directly as
though the
File class is part of the built in class structure (which in
the
runtime, it is!).
Using this technique, you can create references to literally
*ALL* of
the AIR classes and use them to build your AIR application.
The beauty
of this technique is its brevity. When you define the class
reference,
all of the methods and properties are automatically
associated with it
so you don't need reams of code to define each and every
item.
There's a bit more that can be done with this AIR class to
make it
friendlier and I'll be extending mine until all the AIR
classes are
available. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop me a
line or drop
by my site at
http://www.baynewmedia.com
where I'll be posting the
completed class. I may also make it into a component if
there's enough
interest. To all of you who knew all this already, I hope I
didn't waste
your time.
Happy coding,
Patrick

Wow, you're right. The content simply doesn't show up at all.
No
JavaScript or HTML parsing errors, apparently. But no IE7
content.
I'll definitely have to look into that. In the meantime, try
FireFox :)
I'm trying to develop a panel to output AIR applications from
within the
Flash IDE. GSkinner has one but I haven't been able to get it
to work
successfully. Mine has exported an AIR app already so that's
a step in
the right direction but JSFL is a tricky beast, especially
when trying
to integrate it using MMExecute strings.
But, if you can, create AIR applications by hand. I haven't
yet seen an
application that allows you to change every single option
like you can
when you update the application.xml file yourself. Also, it's
a great
fallback skill to have.
Let me know if you need some assistance with AIR exports.
Once you've
done it a couple of times, it becomes pretty straightforward.

If it still fails, can you enable MSI logging using the instructions found on the following page and then post the msi log contents for review?

Adobe Illustrator will not launch when Flash is running

A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

Adobe AIR Application Installation will not start

I purchased a program called Video Alchemy which requires Adobe AIR to run but the installation window will not display and the installation does not start.
The Adobe AIR log install log file can be found here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59423416/Install.log
Here is a link to the VideoAlchemy.exe install file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59423416/VideoAlchemy.exe
Can anyone help me to get this program to install?

Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
I'm stumped on this one :-(
Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.
Regards
Stephen

You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.
