Adobe AIR in Flex browser application

Hi,
I have a browser based flex application developed. As a part of a requirement, some of information needs to be shown in an AIR app. Is there any possibility of fetching an AIR application from the flex application browser. Could you please provide me a solution if it is possible?
Thank You

Hi,
A couple of things to look at.
Take a look at the documentation about Flash security
1)
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00000347.html
(particularly security sandboxes and local content)
2)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security.html
(more in depth about the rules around interacting with local
content)
Specifically, look at LocalConnection.allowDomain
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/LocalConnection.html#a llowDomain()
I hope these things help!

Printing with Adobe Air and Flex

Hi
I have an Advanced printing application, developped using
C++. we want to port it to the web;
we are studying Flex and Adobe Air to see if we can have what
we want.
the most important thing is to be capable to
print automatically I mean without choosing printer
configuration; we want to choose automatically paper size, paper
source, ... and all possible printer configuration.
Is that possible using Flex And/Or Adobe Air?
I searched and I see that there is one class to print,
without advanced options?
If not, can I develop plugins for Adobe Air?
Thank you

My blog has an example of whats possible when printing using
Flex/AIR - you can print directly setting orientation etc. but I
can't find a way to set source (paper trays)

Will there be future support from Adobe AIR for Desktop native Applications

We have a desktop native application developed using Flex SDK 4.1 and running on Adobe AIR. Now as Adobe has donated Flex SDk to Apache we are concerned about the future of this application. If we rescale our application with new versions of Flex SDk released by Apache, in future will the new versions of Adobe AIR support it? As I have read in Adobe Forums that Adobe is more concentrated on providing HTML5 support in Adobe AIR, and not working for Flex support anymore, can we face any problems going forward with this combination?

Adobe Air Vs Thin Client Application

Hi,
I have very little knowledge of Adobe Air. I would like to
know the basic difference between Adobe Air & thin client
applications.
Also, does Adobe air supports web applications? if yes then
how it interacts with centralize database which resides on main
server?
Does Adobe Air works only with MySQL?
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks in advance!!

I don't see that there necessarily is a
difference. You can use AIR to build a thin client. You can use AIR
to build a thick client. It's a tool. It doesn't tell you what to
build.
quote:
Also, does Adobe air supports web applications?
AIR includes several networking facilities which
can be used to interact with a web server.
quote:
how it interacts with centralize database which resides on
main server?
It can do it the same way a browser does: by
sending requests over HTTP, handled by server side code that
manipulates the DB. If you have a "Web Service" API, AIR supports
all the SOAP ****, too. And, there is a raw network API if you have
to hand-roll your low-level protocol.
quote:
Does Adobe Air works only with MySQL?
AIR doesn't support MySQL at all. The only
native DB support it has is for SQLite, which is used for databases
on the local file system where the AIR app resides. To access a
remote DB, you have to use some form of custom networking to reach
it.
Theoretically, you could write a MySQL network client using
the raw client socket functionality, but I don't believe this
protocol is documented. You could extract it from the MySQL source
code, but...eck. Better to set up some kind of web service
API.

Error Installing Adobe Air from Story Desktop Application Installer

This is truly driving me nuts already.
Every time I try to install the Desktop Application from the Story website, it says I must install Adobe Air. So I click Install, it shows the progress bar to 100%, then errors out with a window. The window header reads "Adobe AIR Installer" and the main section of the window reads "Couldn't write the application to the hard disk. Please verify the hard disk is available and try again." - There is a Retry and Cancel. Retry does it all again with same results.
No, I had no previous versions of Adobe Air. So I tried installing AIR direct from the Adobe website, and it installs fine. So I go back to the Story webpage and try installing the Desktop Application again and the exact same set of events as described above happens. I uninstalled the AIR install, tried again, same result.
I had Production Premium CS3 previously, and installed Production Premium CS5 UPGRADE. All the programs in the suite work like a charm!
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with 208 Gig free on my C drive, as well as over 500 gig free spread out over two other drives. 8 Gig memory, and two Nvidia Qadro FX 3500 video cards (If that matters at all). Full admin rights to the PC, not limited in any way.
A quick Google search shows plenty of other people having the same problem, just no known fixes I've found!
HELP!!!
PS- I have a picture of the error message, but the insert picture link is greyed out and won't let me add anything to this post.

Adobe air with flex, file new, open and save for Desktop software program

I already have a headache from all the searching. I cannot believe this to be such a confusing topic as every software program we create must be able to save user input, right.
Here is the problem:
Novel writing software program Main window has tabnavigator with four navigatorcontent pages 1. characters, 2. worlds, 3. objects, 4. Editor
Each navigatorcontent page has user input fields in the form of textinput component, textarea component, richtexteditor component, etc.
problem 1:
The user needs to be able to open a new project and give it a name and state where it must be saved. All user input in the Novel writing software program must be attached to the file name the user specified - cannot give sample code cause I don't even know where to start looking anymore.
Problem 2:
If the user has now defined a new project name, all his input from the different input components has to be compiled into a single file that can be saved. (Dan Pichelman gave me a satisfactory answer on using the file.borwseforsave funtion.) That makes sense, but I first need to get all the user input into that single file. I was convinced that it must be an xml file and that there would be a guide on how to do this but...
Problem 3:
This brings me to another problem. All the pages I've researched so far tell me how to load data from an xml file into a component, but not how to write the text from the component into the xml file. And this xml file cannot be the prefs file in the storage directory, it has to be named by the user and then after filling in all his text in the different tabs of the software, must be saved in this xml file and saved where the user chooses.
Problem 4:
now that the user put in his text and it is written to an xml file that he has named and set the path to, he goes on vacation and in two weeks opens his saved file to work on his project again. All the data that was stored in the xml must now be written back into the different user input components so he can continue working on his project, truth be told, there are some samles and tutorials on this subject, but again from only a single page perspective not a multiple tab perspective.
Problem 5:
Now the user has deleted and/or changed some text he put in when he started, he wrote some more text in the textareas and texteditor and he clicks the file - save button. The xml file or whatever needs to be used must be updated and saved with all the changes overwriting the old file.
Problem 6:
The data entered by the user will end up being a book of say 400 pages. This data will obviously be mostly in the richtexteditor component, so whatever method of saving is used, database or xml or whatever, needs to be able to contain all this data.
Thought, if you are working with for instance, microsoft powerpoint, it has multiple pages all containing different user inputs and when you click flie - save, it saves all that input into one file. When I as a user opens that saved file it loads all that content back into its place and I can change and manipulate the input and save it again. I would have thought this would be one of the first things adobe or any other software would teach as this is what sofware programs are all about. But alas, the tutorials on this subject for adobe air for Desktop application is extreeeeemely rare.
My promise is, if someone can help me with this or there is a tutorial out there that covers this properly I will write a tutorial on this for other newbies as I progress step by step.
Pleeeeeeease help this ignorant novice
Regards

to save a file you would do something like:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter( fileName );
textComponent.write( fw );
fw.close();See the JFileChoose API for filtering files by extension. The API gives an example.

GZIP-Encoded HTTP Response in adobe air and flex data service

Hello,
I am using data centric service in flash builder 4 (beta 2) to call betfair web service. The application is working well.
But betfair told me to set the encoding to gzip when requesting the web service. I had used httpHeaders to add new header.
         var bfHeader:Object=new Object();
         bfHeader["Accept-Encoding"]= "gzip";
         _serviceControl.httpHeaders = bfHeader;
Now when I run the application, network monitor shows both the request and response is encoded in gzip format, network monitor itself uncompressed the content and showed it. But I don't know how to uncompress the content. As the content is compressed, I could not call any data service.
I have tried to use the convertResultHandler. But actually don't know how to use it correctly.
Please help me. Its important
Thanks in advance.

Hello bahar08
Its been a long while since you posted your topic but I've just found it after being getting stuck with this exact problem. There is a gzip decompressor my Danny Patterson that might help. I've added the header in as well but the responces don't seem to be coming down in a compressed format.
It would be cool to chat with you about this.

Using Adobe Air Auto Print and Download in Web application

How should an application developer handle Adobe AIR upgrades on Windows and Mac?

Hi,
My questions concern Windows 7 (and later) and Mac OS X:
Is Adobe AIR upgraded automatically? In other words, by default (if the user does not uncheck something during installation), is there a service/polling mechanism that checks for a new version of Adobe AIR and recommends an update to the user?
What happens if a user has an older version of Adobe AIR installed, and my application requires a more recent Adobe AIR version? Do I, as an application developer, have to do something or is it handled by Adobe AIR automatically?
Have Adobe AIR introduced many backward compatibility issues in the past? Is it possible for a user to have multiple versions of Adobe AIR installed at the same time? Can I, as an application developer, specify that this exact version of Adobe AIR is needed by my application?
If there sometimes are backwards compatibility issues with Adobe AIR. Is there a way for me as an application developer to try out a new version before it is released to the normal users? In other words, is there a way for me to make sure that my application works with the next version of Adobe AIR before it is released by the normal channels to the general user base?
Is there something else which should be taken into consideration when it comes to Adobe AIR upgrades and versioning issues?

Well we would suffer especially much from two of the drawbacks listed at Packaging a captive runtime bundle for desktop computers:
The AIR in-browser API for installing and launching an AIR application from a web page is not supported
AIR update API and framework are not supported
We are using the Air application as a solution for printing, which is invoked using the AIR in-browser API when the user clicks the "Print" button. I would guess the route to make it work with a captive runtime (which was something new to me), which I see as a normal stand alone application, would be to register a specific MIME type with the OS and each Web browser which is handled by our print application. And let a file of our new MIME type contain the information passed in the in-browser invocation at the moment. That would trigger the application when a user clicks Print.
We also use the AIR update API to update our application. Being without it means that we would need to create our own update mechanism.
These two paths to handle the given drawbacks above would mean a lot of work for us. Especially as we want to support both Windows and Mac. It might be worth it if the answers to my questions in the original post indicates that we can expect another type of problems instead.
I am still interested in answers to my original questions. But we will certainly take the captive runtime approach into consideration. As I didn't know about it, I really appreciate your answer!

Has anybody been sucessful in integrating other Video encoders (on2 Flix, Mainconcept) with Adobe AIR applications

Has anybody been sucessful in integrating other Video
encoders (on2 Flix, Mainconcept, or any other commercially
available video encoder) with Adobe AIR live video streaming
applications ?
Most of the companies provide SDK's
Is it possible at all to integrate them with Adobe Air
applications built using Flex/ Actionscript?

With the use of a little Alchemy magic, you can turn a C/C++ library into actionscript accessable classes!
