AIR App. HTML component ...

Hi there,
I'm using a HTML component in AIR with 'paintDefaultBackground="false" and backgroundAlpha="0.0" to let shine through a Logo. Unfortunatly a couple of the web site on display show themself sometimes with NO background - So just the witing of this site with NO formating !
I can get it right if I go up in the background Alpha ! but that is not the idea I would like to use it.
Any ideas ??? regards aktell2007

That was a waste of a couple hours.... The reason it was not redering is because I had a glow filter effect on a parent
displayobject in the app... Really weird, cause html stuff would load, but flash would not show up.

AIR app (HTML) not responding after alert or confirm

This issue won't occur when using adl for debugging, but after building the package and install, even an one-alert application will have this issue.
I accidentally tested another app (3.1) I wrote a long time ago, and found the same thing...
After showing an alert or confirm message, don't click OK or Cancel, after several seconds, click the application window, and it will become unresponsive and sometimes it will turn white.
This issue happens on several PCs tested, could any one help?

Thank you for the heads up. Is this new behavior for the 3.6 release? Do you know if it occurs on both Mac and Win? Any particular operating systems? If possible, I'd like to get a copy of one of your built applications to try this out. Please open a new bug at bugbase.adobe.com and include a copy of your application and sample source code. If you'd like to keep the code private, feel free to email it directly to [email protected] Once the bug has been added, let me know the bug number and I'll follow up internally.
Thanks,

Cache-Control and Accept-Encoding support in Adobe AIR HTML Component

I am evaluating Adobe AIR's HTML component and trying to figure out what is supported.
I built the AIR app and had it point to www.google.com
I notice that the requests to fetch JS,CSS from Adobe AIR do not include Accept-Encoding: gzip header.
Does Adobe AIR's HTML Component support Accept-Encoding : gzip header ?
I also noticed that even though the content served with far futures expiry, i.e. has Cache-Control: maxage={value} subsequent requests are being made and content is not served from the browser's cache.
I observed this accross the app restarts.
Can someone please clarify support of the two above Http headers ?
Thank you.

AIR HTML component problem

I am using the AIR HTML component to load various website
directories with. However, any directory that gets loaded into the
HTML control that uses CAPTCHA, only loads maybe 2 pixels high
worth of the image. Is this a bug with the HTML control itself, or
have I failed to instantiate something? To see what I mean, try
loading this URL into AIR's HTML component.

I might add that this is flex 3 Retail version, not the beta.
Seems to work in the flex 3 milestone 4 beta.

Viewing flash based website in HTML component of AIR APP

Hello, I've got an air app where I'm trying to use the Html component to load up a flash website. Problem is that the website starts to load (I can see the preloader) and then the html component just goes blank. I wrote the html page I'm trying to load so I went in and did some trimming of javascript stuff that I didn't really need that I thought might be causing the issue, but, no dice. I'm also catch uncaughtScript errors from HTML, and there are none. Anybody have any ideas? The flash on the page that I'm loading only required flash player 8, so I'm thinking that shouldn't be an issue. The page I'm trying to load is www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php
Here is my little mxml file that won't properly display the site.
<mx:Panel title="Video Storage" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" enabled="true" visible="true" width="100%" height="650"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function showDOM(ev:Event = null):void { var indEv:Event = ev; } public function uncaughtException(ev:Event = null):void { var whatException:Event = ev; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTML uncaughtScriptException="uncaughtException()" htmlDOMInitialize="showDOM()" width="100%" height="100%" location="http://www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php" id="htmlOne"/> </mx:Panel>

That was a waste of a couple hours.... The reason it was not redering is because I had a glow filter effect on a parent

Will Adobe AIR apps work on iOS (Javascript/HTML)?

Hello,
I haven't been able to find any definitive answer on whether Adobe AIR apps using Javascript and HTML can work on iOS.
Anyone know for sure?
And if so, what happens with the APIs available through these swfs that we currently include:
networkInfoWrapper.swf
servicemonitor.swf
applicationupdater_ui.swf
Many thanks
Stephen

The answer is no. Apps developed for AIR using HTML and JavaScript are not supported on iOS or other mobile platforms. The mobile platforms do include a StageWebView component that can be used to load and display HTML and JavaScript. However, it is entirely different than the HTMLLoader control used on the desktop platforms (for HTML-based AIR apps). You cannot, for example, call any AIR/Flash APIs from JavaScript running in a StageWebView. In general, very little communication is possible between your ActionScript application code and the JavaScript code running in the StageWebView object.

Adobe AIR HTML component ignores Google Maps GPolyline opacity

I have a Google Maps mashup web site that I want to display
in an
Adobe AIR app using the AIR HTML component. My mashup shows a
Google map with some semi-
transparent polylines (drawn as circles) drawn with the
Google Maps API . In Safari, everything looks
as it should. In AIR, the polylines are opaque; the GPolyline
opacity
value is ignored. I've tried the AIR app on Linux and Windows
XP.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or have some
suggestions?
The web site:
http://dstresearch.com/map.html
The AIR code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" height="800" width="800">

Show an ico file in an HTML Air app

Hi,
I have an air app, of the HTML variety, and I'd like to be
able to show .ico files in it.
In Safari/Webkit you can do this:
<img src="
http://somedomain.com/favicon.ico"
width="16" height="16" />
But it doesn't work in Air.
I've seen this Flex app that can render ico files:
http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/IconLoader/IconLoader_Sample.swf
Using the IconLoader custom Flex Component:
http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/wiki/ComponentList
Is there a similar workaround that anyone knows?
Thanks in advance

The icon loading code you reference is ActionScript, so you
could convert it into a utility for turning icons into png files --
along with a PNG encoder, of course -- which is also available in
an AS library on Google code. (You can load a SWF utility into a
page using the script tag.) You could then load the converted png
file for display.
ASFAIK, the only way to bridge the image gap between
ActionScript and JavaScript is through the HTML clipboard, and that
requires a user-generated paste event before you can access
it.

How can you get selection info from air html component?

In Air, I want to be able to have an html component that
displays an htmltext string. When a button in pressed in the air
app, I want to add highlight tags to the htmltext string around the
text that has been selected by the user in the html component.
The problem is, I have no idea how to get info about what
text is selected in the html component. The way to get such info
for other text display components is shown in
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=textcontrols_05.html#446003
but that doesn't seem to work with html components.
Can anyone point me to anything that shows how to get info
from the htmlcomponent regarding the selected text?

AIR apps developed using HTML+Javascript

Hi…
I am working on Adobe AIR.
And now I have 3 options to develop AIR applications 1)Flex
2) Flash 3) HTML+javascript.
But can you please explain me when do I exactly use Flex Or
HTML+JS Or Flash.
One of the reason I know is Flex used for Rich UI
applications
Is there any list of requirements for which one of the 3
option is most suitable to use.
And I have some more questions.
1) Can AIR applications(developed using HTML+Js) invoke a web
service running on a different server
2) Can AIR application(developed using HTML+Js) detect the
connectivity of USB drive (I have developed 1 application that can
detect the Network connectivity and periodically reports the status
I want the same in case of USB(plug & play) connectivity)
3) I have one AIR application that has one HTML form on click
of button I am posting the form Data to Java Servlet using
“air.sendToURL()” as shown
<script src="AIRAliases.js" />
<script>
function sendURL()
var url = "
http://localhost:8080/InvokingServlet/Registration";
var variables = new air.URLVariables();
variables.username = document.f1.username.value;
variables.password = document.f1.password.value;
var request = new air.URLRequest(url);
request.data = variables;
air.sendToURL(request);
alert("Data has been added to Remote DB...");
</script>
The data goes to Servlet and then Servlet thru Jdbc
Connectivity adds the data to database “MySQL” database
named “user”
If I read the data from database and print in Servlet it
displays that to “tomcat server window(log)” But I want
the data from Servlet to send back to HTML page where I can display
it on the same HTML page where user entered his details. So even if
I put the result into some Scope like session or request, but Can I
read that it in HTML+Javascript page .

This question gets asked about once a week. You
can find my latest answer
here
and a little searching will dig up more opinions.
quote:

service running on a different server
An AIR application isn't hosted on a server, so all web
servers are "foreign" to your AIR application. An AIR app does get
downloaded from a server, most of the time, but it doesn't maintain
some kind of special connection to that server.
Because of this, there are no cross-domain restrictions in
AIR like you have in a regular web browser.
quote:

connectivity of USB drive
AIR does not allow low-level system access, and has very
little in the way of platform-specific capabilities. So, you'd have
to use a high-level, platform-agnostic way of checking for the
drive, such as by looking around to see what files are available.
Things like USB insert notifications are way outside the scope of
AIR.

I want the data from Servlet to send back to HTML page where
I can display it on the same HTML page where user entered his
details.
That question isn't on-topic here. Ask on a forum dealing
with JSP servlets.

Embedding swf into HTML+JS AIR app

Hi
I'm trying to embed swf into HTML+JS AIR app with no luck.
First, I created flash library with this class in default package.
package
     import mx.controls.Alert;
     public class Utilities
          public function Utilities()
                         //asdfasdf
               Alert.show("asdasd","");
Then I compiled the project with Flash Builder and got library.swc as result. Then I extracted swf file.
After this is added required code into my html:
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
    <script src="library.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            alert('loaded');
            air.Introspector.logError("aaa");
            var v = new runtime.Utilities();
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then after I run application, I get error that result of expression is not constructor, function etc.
Could you help me please? Thanks in advance.
Here is sample code:
http://depositfiles.com/files/jztpnlb3a

No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

Contents of HTML title Tag not rendering in my AIR HTML component

HTML-based AIR app with transparent UI, shadows, etc.?

I'm debating on whether to use Flex or HTML/Ajax for a widget
in a project. If I make an HTML-based widget, is it possible to
have UI tricks like shadows and transparency, basically, NOT being
confined to a standard OS "box" window? Is this possible?
Thanks.

Yes it is possible to do this with an HTML-based AIR app.
However, since the visual elements will be HTML-elements, not
display objects, you can't use the Flash APIs for shadows and
transparency. Also, in a transparent window, SWF and PDF content in
HTML cannot be displayed.

HTML window in AIR app can't open new window

Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...
We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no action
All three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.
How can we code the HTML so that we can display selected content in an HTML window inside the AIR app; but have selected hyperlinks invoke the user's standard web browser, or launch Adobe Reader, or play a video file etc?
Note, we understand how to do those things within AIR itself, but can't figure out how to achieve this from inside the HTML window in the app.

Hello,
As to "_blank" links:
this is long-standing lacking feature - as there is no introspection of event of such type - so it goes and could not be prevented. One could either handle all navigation with system browser (all links open in system external browser) or handle them in embedded browser - similar issue is bugging people using phoneGab with jQueryMobile - application eats all external links or none at all). There are solution for that including runtime introspection of DOM object to retrieve all anchor (a) tags in rendered document and attach custom click handler via host object like on complete:
var document:Object = html.htmlLoader.window.document;
if(!document && !document.hasOwnProperty("getElementsByTagName")) return;
var linksArray:Object = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
if(!linksArray) return;
var a:Object = null;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < linksArray.length; i++)
     a = linksArray[i];
     if(a)
          a.onclick = function(event:Object):Boolean
               if(event.target.hasOwnProperty("href") && event.target.hasOwnProperty("target"))
                    if(event.target.target != "_blank") return true;
                    flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.target.href));
               return false;
but if you have control on what content is provided you could take care of handling links depending on runtime feature detection that way in javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
     function handleClick(a)
          if(!window.runtime) return true;
          if(a.hasAttribute("target") && a.getAttribute("target") == "_blank")
               var href = a.getAttribute("href");
               var req = new window.runtime.flash.net.URLRequest(href);
               if(req) window.runtime.flash.net.navigateToURL(req);
          return false;
</script>
<a     href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="handleClick(this);">BBC</a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="handleClick(this);">Google</a>
(above could be scripted globally with help of jQuery for example for all links without much coding).
In 2.7 there is new event introduced to help with introspection so one could prevent event if link is internal and do whatever is expected in application:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
If you post some details on how PDF and video content is expected to be shown in html I'm sure someone would share some hints as well,
