Adobe air in browser?

hi all,
i got to know about adobe air through yahoo sideline and tweetdeck.
i have two questions:
1) can adobe air app be deploy on web server and run from browser?
2) i tried running the sideline.html from the sideline source code. but it doesn't seems to work. how can i make it work? (see picture thank you!)

You can run an Adobe Air application FROM the browser.
But you cannot run an Adobe Air applicatin WITHIN the browser.
Indeed, Adobe Air wraps webkit (a very famous html rendering engine).
Think of Adobe Air as a shell built around an browser.
If you want to run something within the browser you can go with Flash/Flex.
HTH.

Adobe Air 2 browser compatibility

What all browsers are supported by Adobe Air2.0 on MAC and Windows Platforms ? Please also let me know the version nos of supported browsers

Adobe AIR is a cross-platform desktop runtime environment, independent of the browser. AIR applications use a version of WebKit to display html content. The version of WebKit in AIR 2 is based on the version shipped with Safari 4.0.3. In addtion, AIR files can be distributed as .apk files for the Android OS, version 2.2.

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.

Can't install widget browser - Adobe AIR, "Something went Wrong . . ."

I'm having trouble installing the widget browser as I get an error:
"Something went wrong trying to install this application. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again." I've included a screen shot at bottom of this post.
I've downloaded the adobe air application and installed several times, but still get this same popup error
message when trying to install the Dreamweaver Widget Browser.
Here are some details of my system:
OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3
Dreamweaver CS5
Adobe Flash 10 installed
Adobe Download Manager installed
Adobe Air installed (per Control Panel -> Programs & Features)

Thank you for your replies and help. I followed your instructions and found that I'm running the current version of AIR:
I couldn't find the version via your first instructions. When I browsed and ran properties on folder 1.0, I was presented with Version folders with different dates, but could find nothing about the current version.
I followed your second set of instructions and was able to browse to the AIR folder and just run the application and browse for the file I downloaded. It worked like a charm to visually show me the version, (first screen shot above).
I'm wondering if it's because I try to keep my C:Windows drive as bare as possible by installing all of my applications on another hard drive. This version of AIR is running on my C drive, yet DW & Photoshop CS5 are running on my "E" drive where there is no folder called "Common Files" for AIR versions.
I've run the command line you had suggested as well in order to keep a log file. I'll pass along the results when I try to install again.

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

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 not playing sound from swf, but Flex-app in browser does. Why?

Hi
Why won't Adobe AIR play the sound in an swf animation I've got? It plays perfectly as an Flex Application in a browser.
This works good (Animation is shown and sound is played):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:SWFLoader id="testLoader" source="niceview.swf">
</mx:SWFLoader>
</mx:Application>
This does not work: (Animation is shown BUT sound is NOT played):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" width="500" height="400">
<mx:SWFLoader id="testLoader" source="niceview.swf">
</mx:SWFLoader>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
I started out loading the swf from the filesystem, which is what I want to accomplish, but in this test the "niceview.swf" is located inside the source folder and therefore sandbox-violations should not be the issue here, right?

A little bump.
I still haven't found any solution to this.

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.

Adobe air html/js - application act like a browser.

I just started in Adobe air html/js . In the current application I want to do something like this .
I want to open the urls/web pages in the application and application should act like a web-browser to them .
But with that I want to modify the opened pages a little, like add some css/js to them.
Something like when you open Web pages in Firefox and a plugin (example grease monkey scripts) modifies the displayed content .
Is it possible ?
I tried opening in iframe it works , but I cannot add my own JavaScript to the page (is there any way in air to remove cross domain strictness?).
Note: Please don't suggest that I fetch the html content of the page and add it to the app body. My app should really act as browser. (Adobe air is webkit based so I think it can be achieved)

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. The internal bug number for the issue is #2740755. The issue is currently under review and will be investigated by one of AIR team members.
Regards,
Catalin

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.
