AIR Desktop Application for Linux running HTML5 and JS

Hello all,
Can I build an application with Adobe AIR coding in JS + HTML5? Once it was indeed possible and there are even tutorials on this technique:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air_javascript.html
If it's still possible with AIR 3.8, how can I build an existing website into a desktop application that will run in debian Linux? I'm struggling to find a resource that teaches how to actually build the application with AIR SDK. I've found how to build an application written in AS3 but not HTML + JS.
Thanks

Thank you, kglad.
I think I forgot to mention I'm building an Application Menu. The NativeMenu contains NativeMenuItems and there is no format property or method that I can see. Also, the name the menu item displays is its label property, which you can set, but it's a string, and I believe the htmlText applies to textfields, right?

Air desktop application: how to make a menu item bold?

Hi, I'm using Flash CS6 to develop an AIR desktop application for OSX. I've created my menu using NativeMenu and such, but I can't find a way to make the first menu item bold, like a true OSX app. So far the little I've found on this always referred to Flex, not Flash. Any hints?
Thank you.

Known Issue while running Adobe Story desktop application for the first time on Mac OS 10.8

Flash air desktop application

Hello there,
We developed an application.
The window of our application cannot be maximize after it is install on our desktop.
How could we get this fonctionnality?
Please help.
Many thanks

Are you saying that it is possible to get this fonctionality (maximise
without stretching) when using flash air desktop application?
Yes, you can maximize a window without distorting the contents. When using Flash, the stage scale mode defaults to one of the scaling modes. For your app it sounds like you should set the scale mode to the "noScale" option.
If yes, Do you recommend the utilization of aire for the distribution of our
application?
I don't know enough about your application to make any kind of recommendation, and anyway my opinion might be biased since I am an Adobe employee.
Also could you recommend us a way for limiting the illegal distribution?
I don't think there is a fool proof way to do it (in general DRM is a race between the publishers and the hackers). Adobe doean't provide any tools for this. Presumably, there are 3rd party tools for application DRM that you could use (but that's outside my area of expertise).
For a homegrown approach to the problem, you could require that users of your application create a user account on your web site and download a license file in order to run the application. This isn't perfect, because someone could hack your application to remove the check for the license, but it would prevent casual copying.

Convert Air Desktop Application to Android apk Please help!

I developed an Air Desktop Application by using Flash Builder 4, it's a pure ActionScript 3 application. I used a few PNG image files and mp3 audio files in the application. After I build it, I got the swf file, xml file and all the image mp3 files in the bin-debug folder. If I run the swf file with all other files (png and mp3 files) in the bin-debug folder, it works great. If I run the swf standalone, the application will miss the images and sounds.
Now I'm converting the swf to apk, and run it on android device, it will NOT show the images or Doesn't play the sounds. I was wondering if there is a way to merge the png and mp3 files into the swf when I build/compile it? Or is there some other way to convert to apk which includes all the image and audio files? Please help.

Please see adt -package command here
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f-5d0f4f25128cc9cd0cb-7ffb.html
in this example icons folder is packaged along with swf and app xml.
What you can do is that specify each of the mp3 and image files one by one separated by space at the place where icons is used in examples.
In this case you will find all mp3 and image files in same directory as your swf when you run on android.
Make sure you use app:// urls for accessing those files

Change Encore Project into a adobe air desktop application with password

Good afternoon,
I am trying to find a a way that i can change or inport a Encore project into a adobe air desktop application so that a can password protect it. I have a training simulator built in Encore that has a large number of menus and videos that i would like to tern into a tesk top application that i can password protect. Encore out puts this as a swf file. Is there any way to do this? I have bin looking around an the web and can't seem to find any information on this kind of problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

Hi Justin,
ok, assuming that your external SWF tries to access some hosting application context (methods/properties) you could try:

How to load a FLEX application in an AIR desktop application.

I am creating an AIR desktop application (mx:WindowedApplication). I need to load another remote FLEX application (mx:Application) inside my AIR application.Is it possible ? If then ,please mention how to achieve this ..

If it is bundled with the air app, then it's as easy as using the SWFLoader class.
If it's loading from a remote host, you need to load it into your app as a ByteArray first.
More info here: http://aaronhardy.com/flex/loading-a-remote-module-into-a-local-app/
The example is for Modules, but the principal is the same I believe.

May LV for Linux run in embeded linux system with ARM9 ?

Hello All,
May LV for Linux run in embeded linux system with ARM9 ?
Tks and best regards!
Bright

No, it will only run on Intel compatible processors.
You'll need LV Microprocessor SDK for that (AKA LVEmbedded). But you'll lose
the MMI. And you need to build toolchains yourself (although there is a
cygwin example shipped, and converting it to any gcc toolchain is not that
difficult).
There is a special LV MSDK for ARM processors, but not for all of them.

Wiebe.

Best CD/DVD Burning Application For Linux?

What's the best lightweight burning application for Linux? I'm trying to avoid Brasero and K3B.

I'm currently using k3b its great as is Brasero, I would go so far as to say both are commercial quality applications. I've used growisofs for dvds which is a command line app, extremely light weight: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DVD_writing I have not used Nero Linux before though it was my favorite program on windows.
This recorder application sounds very interested, looking forward to trying this one out when I get home tonight.

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes..

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes 9.2.2
I really need to have both in accelerated mode, looking at my stats I currently have 9000 PRO with 64mb ram... don't need it for games but high end graphics applications currently using Starta Pro 2.5.3 on 9.2.2 which for my current purposes is afficient

The 9600 runs like crap in OS 9.2.2 with any ATI software you can find because ATI never wrote OS 9 drivers for the 9600. OS 9 ATI software does not recognize the card. You get a basic 2D monitor output that is soft, dull, slightly off-color, and cannot be enhanced with the Monitor's Control Panel calibration utility.
If you spend any amount of time in OS 9.2.2 or you want to use OS 9.2.2 for any of your old games (even 2-D video clip type games), don't get the 9600.
I have a 9600 installed in my MDD G4 and now have an original Radeon for Mac PCI video card installed as well. When I want to use any of my OS 9 games, I move the DVI cable from my LCD monitor over to the old Radeon card and restart.

I have got Acrobat 10.1.13 for Mac running Yosemite - and the 'advanced search' feature has stopped functioning - it doesn't install the search window, nothing happens - so I uninstalled acrobat, reinstalled it - but it still not working?

I have got Acrobat 10.1.13 for Mac running Yosemite - and the 'advanced search' feature has stopped functioning - it doesn't install the search window, nothing happens - so I uninstalled acrobat, reinstalled it - but it still not working?

It's a 3rd party app. You really should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums
Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS. Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.
