AIR Apps: Native File Menus blanking out with Macbook 13"

Hey all,
First and foremost thanks for taking the time to read.
While running a Macbook 13" using Snow Leopard, I'm seeing blank native menus coming through on AIR apps. We've tried our own app, as well as TweetDeck [another AIR app], and none of the file menus come through [they come through as long blank white columns]. This includes the Apple menu!
Has anyone seen any issue with this reported?
Thanks again,
Christian

Fixed by re-installing AIR!

Install AIR app + native app simultaneously

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an Adobe AIR app but since AIR doesn't provide
all the functionality that I need, I'm also developing a native app
that does some system-level stuff and writes a XML file that then
the AIR app reads. Since I want this to be as painless as possible
for the end user, I'd like to make an installar that:
- Installs the native app and sets it to autorun when the
system starts (it's a background app).
- Installs the AIR app, detect Flash version, etc (launch
the Badge?)
I think I'd need a separate installer solution for each OS
(Windows and Mac) that, after installing the native app and adding
it to the autorun list of the OS, launches the .air so that the
badges continues with the installation.
I don't really know if what I want to accomplish is doable at
all, so any hints or links that may help me would be really
appreciated.
Best regards,
Manuel F. Lara

Hi Daniel,
Could you post or send me ([email protected]) the entire crash log? I'll at least need the binaries section so I can properly symbolicate the log.
Thanks,

MacBook Air Superdrive?? Does it work with MacBook Pro

Hello,
I need an external Superdrive. Does the MacBook Air Superdrive work with MacBook Pro??

No, it does not (at least, not without opening the drive and modifying the internal components).
External optical drives from Sony and LaCie work well with the MBP. Here's ONE EXAMPLE, here's ANOTHER EXAMPLE, both from Amazon.

CS4 menus blanked out

Installed CS4 2 weeks ago and it's running fine, but in the last two days it won't show any of the new display menus.
See screenshot:
Resetting prefs didn't help. Nor did enabling/ disabling 3D acceleration. Anyone else get this?

Looking for the free apps that are supposed to come with MacBook.

I was told instead of a recieving a CD I had to download software like iPhoto from iTunes. The only option I see is to pay for it. I was told it was included. What am I missing?

When I got my Late 2011 MBP in Dec., it had Lion and did NOT have any of the iLife components. After I migrated all my stuff from the corpse of my Early 2008 MBP with Leopard, lo and behold, iLife sprang to life again. And was even allowed to upgrade each component to the latest version, via the App Store, for free.

I can call up the MacBook to do but I can Call out With MacBook Using iPhone

I Have a same apple ID Set in iPhone 6 and macbook pro with Yosemite OS, and set the all parameters in both.
I Can Answer the call from outside with Facetime app in mac, but i don't call using iphone, and show the messeage Below :
iPhone Calls Not Available
Your iPhone Must Use the same
iCloud and Facetime Account
However, I've done all the settings.

Trey turning them off/deleting them and then add them back.

AIR app won't compile with custom icons

My AIr app won't compile when I choose anything but the
default icons. I created 4 pngs in Photoshop and it gives me the
error: Useage error (incorrect arguments)
Any help? I've tried using only 1 icon, all 4, and no icons.
Only no icons works.

You dont have to use the GUI to set it, you can use the air
appliation XML.
inside your air-app.xml file look for something like:
<icon>
<image128x128>icons/myIcon128.png</image128x128>
<image48x48>icons/myIcon48.png</image48x48>
<image32x32>icons/myIcon32.png</image32x32>
<image16x16>icons/myIcon16.png</image16x16>
</icon>
if its not there add it, but replace the myIcon128.png with
your 128 point png image etc.
also the above assumes your icons are in a folder called
"icons" in the same directory as your air file.
Hope it helps.

Way to get Acrobat 5 file naming behavior out of Acrobat 9?

Hello,
I'm working in an XP shop with some legacy applications. One of these applications prints out batches of files to the PDF Writer printer from Acrobat 5.0. The files all come out with a similar filename pattern. For example, if the input was "Filename" and there were 3 parts to the batch, the output would be FILEN001.PDF, FILEN002.PDF, FILEN003.PDF, and so forth.
We're moving to new hardware running Windows 7, and unfortunately we have to keep this legacy app around for a while. The Acrobat 5 printer driver will not install on Windows 7. I've downloaded the trial for Acrobat 9 Pro, but I can't seem to get the 9 printer driver to work the same way.
Anybody know a potential solution?
Thanks,
Alex Seigler

Unfortunately, we don't own the code behind this app. Virtualization is being talked about.
From what I can tell, the silent option doesn't allow for auto-naming multiple files in a batch, it writes the first one and then either overwrites the first one silently or prompts the user to overwrite. Are there more options available? I'd be open to writing code that would set the file names properly and then passes the data to the PDF writer if need be.
Thanks,
Alex Seigler

Associate file extension with air app on Android

Hi,
I am trying to associate a file extension with my air app on Android. My goal is to be able to start my app by clicking on a file with a specific file type from either a file manager or mail app. I have found a solution that in theory would work in native, but does not with air somehow.
In the .xml-file for the app, under the <android> tag I have written:
<activity>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="file" />
            <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.csml" />
            <data android:host="*" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
Does anyone have an idea how this could be solved?
Thanks in advance
Jens

If it works in a native app, it should also work in an AIR app in this case. Can you verify that it does work in a native app?

What are the requirements and steps for arranging to receive this large file using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?
Usually, we don't speak of "receive" when using FTP, since the file is transferred from server to client, so it's more of a case of "download".
At your end, it's simple. You use an FTP client; under SL, that includes Finder and Safari, so you don't even need to get any additional software.
At the other end, it's more complicated; the 'sender' must set up an FTP server on his machine.
Alternatively, you can set up your own Mac as an FTP server, and have the 'sender' connect to you with an FTP client and upload the file; but, if your Mac lives behind a router, then you have more work to do with the router settings.
That's why it's much easier to use the file sharing services mentioned above -- if they are available in both sender's and receiver's locations. (Keep in mind that some countries block access to all those mentioned -- except perhaps <www.transfer.ro>, of which I know absolutely nothing.)

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Publishing air apps with native extension with Flash CS6 on Windows

Hi all,
is there any trick to publish air apps with Flash CS6 on Windows?
I tried all native extensions from devnet, but nothing work to me.
I read on Mac is possibility to specify the iOS SDK folder in publish
settings, but on Windows it´s missing.
Is there anybody who has some experiences with publishing apps
with native extensions for iOS and Android with windows Flash CS6?
Thanks for all advices.

I sympathize. I recently found a native alert for iOS and Android that's working with Flash CS6 on Windows with AIR 3.2.0.2070 but not AIR 3.2.0.2060. You can get the ANE here:
http://www.jampot.ie/ane/
Haven't tried the other ones. Let us know if you decide to try them.
The sample code they have on the page doesn't work with the native alert. Here's the code I created - it's a document class for a .fla that has one dynamic TextField and one Button component on the stage :
