Adobe Air Framework - Where's the Documentation

I'm very confused about how to use the Adobe Air Framework to learn how to update my apps. There are tutorials on the Adobe website, but they're all from either 2008 or 2011 and are discussing Air 1.5 or 2 or 2.5 versions, but since I'm using Air 3.7 I would like to see examples of how to use the Framework.
I'm new to Air, but not to AS3. It sounds like the Framework includes API's that allow you to update apps and more, but I cannot find where the documentation is specifically. I continually find:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/documentation.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_update_framework.html
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1156048
http://code.google.com/p/nativeapplicationupdater/
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/updating-air-apps-native-installer.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/index.html
and a few others, but I'm hoping someone can help me find what I need. Maybe the Framework hasn't changed from version 2 to 3, but I know it has from another article I read.
I'm using Flash Professional CS6 and working entirely within that program.
Any suggestions?

I'm just about to head out, but I think these two links are possibly what you're looking for it contains all the documentation you could ever need for the latest AIR SDK's:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html?filter_air=3 .7
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/flashplayer-air-feature-list.html
If it's not I'll post a little more when i get back if someone else hasn't already.
Edit:
Back now, I so you're looking to implement a form of updating your application from within itself using the Air Application updater. The second link you've provided explains everything on how to do this, just ignore all the MXML and use the snippets that are provided in the examples. There is no difference between the framework released in 2011 (with regards to updating) so any tutorial around this time will be sufficent for you. I quickly googled this one for you and it seems to be easy to understand:

Hope that helps.

ADOBE FORM for SAP - where is the documentation

Hello Everybody,
I started to work with adobe form for two weeks now.
And i am wondering something since two days where is the documentation ?
On adobe forums, we find a quick FAQ.
On SCN there is some documentation.
But where is the official or/and most complete documentation ?
Is the full documentation given when you buy the adobe product or is there a full on line documentation ?

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.

Where is the documentation?

Hello,
I just purchased the electronic-download version of CS4. I can't find the documentation! Can anyone tell me where it is? Sorry for the dumb question,

Where's the documentation or user guide?

I am now working through the twelve lessons in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Classroom in a Book. Several times the book says to refer to Premiere Elements documentation or user guide for a full explanation of a subject. Is there such a thing and where do I find it? There is plenty of clear information in the Help and Tutorials but not the documentation that comes, for example, with a camcorder.

Tommy,
You will find a lot of that here: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/premiere-elements_reference.pdf
Also, the Help File, F1, will have good material too, and is active on-line, so there are some comments via Community Help there, as well.
If you are new to PrE, here is a partial list of useful resources: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3953827#3953827
I particularly recommend Steve Grisetti's Basic Training Series on Muvipix.com.
Good luck,

Adobe Air application installation using the bundled runtime installer

Hello.
We plan to develop application for different platforms with Adobe Air and testing installing Air applications with bundled runtime installer on different platforms. It's ok with Windows and Mac OS, but we got troubles with "silent" installation on Ubuntu OS 9.10.
I tried to install Adobe Air application with bundled runtime, like in this document in part "Silent installation":
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html
using command-line:
"sudo ./MyInstaller -silent simple-air-air-application-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air"
and installation fails. Installation log looks like this:
[setup:2306][INFO] Runtime Installer begin with version 2.6.0.19140 on Linux x86
[setup:2306][INFO] Commandline is: -silent simple-air-air-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air
[setup:2306][INFO] No installed runtime detected

[setup:2306][ERR] Subprocess app installer failed (-1)
[setup:2306][ERR] Runtime Installer end with exit code 7
P.S. We tried do the same on Linux Mint 10. Everything's fine, application getting installed well.

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

Adobe Air doesn't install the application

When trying to use Adobe Air to install an application (in this case an Advent Calendar), Adobe Air doesn't even start up. I have tried un-installing and re-installing it, but it still won't work. My computer has Windows 7. The same application, on another Windows 7 computer, installed fine using Adobe Air. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? And more importantly; how I can fix it/work around it?

Thanks Dah·veed for your suggestion. I tried it but it didn't work. I delate iMovie HD with cleanApp, I reseat the computer as you toldme, and after the instalation process of iMovie, it desapear and no neews of iMovie on Application folder.
Any suggestion more?
Thank you.

Getting today's dumbest topic over with - where is the documentation?

I'm trying to figure out how to stabilize some shaky footage. If I type 'stabilize' into the help menu search field it just points me to a video menu item, but I can't figure out how it works. In addition, nothing in the documentation is referenced. Anybody out there know where the FCE documentation pdf file is stored on the Mac. And yes, I did try spotlight...

Thanks to all who responded. What threw me was that I typed "stabilize" into the help search box and all it returned at that point was a reference to the menu item:
video filters -> video -> image stabilizer
and nothing else.
When I cleared the search box I noticed the first item pointed to the documentation (doh!) but I guess what threw me was that the original search returned NOTHING about "stabilize" from the manual - and there are certainly several references to that in there. I know the documentation is handled by Preview, but I guess I expected (a lot) more out of the help menu than I got.
As an aside, to the person that said FCE does not do Image stabilization, the documentation on the "image stabilizer" video filter seems to say otherwise, although it appears to mostly cater for a shaky tripod scenario rather than stuff containing panning and zooming (which is what I'm trying to fix).
Anyway, I've marked this as solved (thanks again) and now it's back to my yard work ...

Adobe reader 11 where do the downloaded documents go by default in windows 8.1?

Just installed adobe 11, looks like the downloaded documents go into a hidden temp file?

What are you viewing the PDF file in? A web browser? if yes, this is normal, but you should be able to save any where on the desktop, the My Documents folder or anywhere.

I have tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling several times but it still doesn't work and I get the same message. I am extrememly frustrated with being unable to find any support on the Adobe web site. This is the only post I see. i do not understand all the gobbledegook I see here. Anybody out there that can help? I need this document. Thanks

Adobe Air is NOT at the android market

Hi, I'm having big problems when trying to install adobe air for android.
It's not at the android market. I tried scanning a bar code, searching with the phone, downloading an Air app that directs you to the market and searching in my pc in google, but all the links go to the same place: no Air.
I also tried installing the apk that comes with the Air SDK but it tells me that I have an older version of something.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance, I'm quite desperate, I have a Motorola Droid and some games to make!

The Android Market only shows applications that are compatible with your phone. I don't know the history of the Droid, is it possible that you have an older version that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements?

Where is the ******* documentation/manual/reference?

Anyone knows?
It should be so pervasive, I should have found it immediately. Instead I am searching Adobe and Google after not finding anything on Pixel Bender SDK's page on labs.adobe.com
Does there even exist official documentation?

I am not really trying anything in particular, as I am using a whole another compiler (haXe) that assembles the .pbj kernel files for use by Flash Player, and just need some sort of documentation for that which Flash Player runs.
Now I know Pixel Bender is not the same as that which runs assembled .pbj files, but regardless, no documentation for either can be found easily.
I am running Linux and the only option for me currently with regards to Adobe's Pixel Bender Toolkit is to try and run it in Wine, which it does NOT do because the installer uses some features of WinAPI that Wine does not yet have in its code. Fair enough. I don't seek advice on making it run, I just need some human readable text for making sense out of Pixel Bender beyond the advertisement of features on labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbender and sporadic tutorials (which assume I already have the documentation), neither of which help me.
All I wanted is to extract the documentation, since it is, by some design flaw from Adobe, ONLY available from INSIDE running/installed Toolkit, and not like a standalone PDF like the rest of Adobe's manuals.
I found ONE SINGLE third-party copy of this PDF from a Korean website. This speaks volumes about Adobe supporting developers, does it not?
P.S. Good gods, the performance of this JavaScript/AJAX-ridden bloated forum really SUCKS. And don't tell me Firefox on Linux is inadequate, this is the first one that is so awful in performance - apparently these "programmers" from Jive Software have trapped cursor moving or textfield changing event, because there is something seriously wrong with typing experience here. I can't type normally without cursor freezing for half a second each second character or disappearing from view sporadically.
Yes I am a harsh critic, but I do weigh what I write.
