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.

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?

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.

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

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:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                            applicationComplete="applicationCompleteHandler(event)">
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.controls.Alert;
               import mx.events.FlexEvent;
               private var loader:URLLoader = null;
               protected function applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                    loader = new URLLoader();
                    loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
                    var url:String = "MyApplication.swf";
                    loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
                    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
                    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loaderErrorHandler);
               protected function loaderCompleteHandler(event:Event):void
                    // allow cross-scripting in case loaded content tries to access
                    // that context properties or methods
                    var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
                    context.allowCodeImport = true;
                    swfLoader.loaderContext = context;
                    swfLoader.load(loader.data);
                    cleanup();
               protected function loaderErrorHandler(errorEvent:IOErrorEvent):void
                    mx.controls.Alert.show(errorEvent.text, "ERROR");
                    cleanup();
               private function cleanup():void
                    loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
                    loader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loaderErrorHandler);
                    loader = null;
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
     
     <s:SWFLoader width="100%" height="100%" id="swfLoader"/>

See that doc for some details "allowCodeImport":

I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay. Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

How do i disable menu items in Help manu, Photoshop cs6?

How do i disable menu items in Help manu, Photoshop cs6?
I packaged Photoshop cs6 using AAMEE CS6.
I need to some menu items to disable.
can any one please tell the process of doing , or which registries or files need to edit.
Appreciate the immediate response.
thanks in advance.

Hello8
Given the fact that you speak about AAMEE, it's not clear if you search for an automated and remote way to do it on multiple machines or not.
(and therefore if this thread should be moved to the relevant forum, http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup/creative_suite_enterprise_deploym ent )
To disable menu items, simply go to Edit>Menus and click on the eyeball next to the menus you do not want.
It is then possible to save it in a workspace that by default will be located there: Documents and Settings/[user name]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/Workspaces (Modified)
I'm not sure if Photoshop will start if the default workspaces are removed, as there is an option to restore them in the preferences.
Also, this is not customer support, but a forum fielded by volunteers that answer when they can, so inviting for an"immediate response" has no bearing; and might even have the opposite effect, but thanks for doing it in a polite and non too demanding way!

Make a menu item that changes the window

Since I am always changing the interface of Brandsonic Web, I would like to make a menu item that would allow the user to change the window to a window they like. The structure of the app is I have 3 different windows objects and I would like a way to change between them with a menu item choice. How do I go about doing this? Thanks!

Click on the Menu bar and go to View . Or, hover over where the Menu bar shiuld be and click on it when it appears. Try quitting and relaunching Finder.

How to hide/disable menu items using Javascript in Acrobat 9 pro or later

We just wanted to know on how to hide/disable menu items for e.g. 'Open' menu item under 'File' menu in Acrobat 9 or later on Mac using Javascript. It would be useful if you could provide if any other option is in place already.

Not sure it will work, but you can try using the app.hideMenuItem() method. See reference here.

How to: define a menu item in an action

I'm no dummy but I can't figure out how to execute a menu item through an action;
add button>properties>action>execute menu item. A dialog appears which is blank, and gives me the option of canceling. Maybe a product defect.
The help documentation defines what it means to execute a menu item, but doesn't expand on how to create one.

That's great. I'd love to jump into j-script and learn all about it, what it can do, what it's limitations are.... But I'm actually just looking to use the program as it functions (or should) out of the box.
This feature was accessible in Acro 8. I don't think that java should be necessary to perform this task. But maybe it is. Is anyone else able to use the "execute menu item" action? Because my build (acrobat 9.0 pro extended)only displays a blank selection dialog.
Thanks for the reply Geo

How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
"FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List WEEKREST
Item: WEEKREST
Block: EMPRESTS
Form: MODULE3
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.

Flash Desktop Application - how to update?

Hi all,
I'm trying to put together a flash desktop application. I
want it show each of my .swf's i created, per month ( i.e. january
month plays 1.swf, february plays 2.swf, march plays 3.swf etc.)
how can i code the flash to update automatically or would i
have to use some external codes to accomplish this?
is it even possible to update if it's a desktop application?
any help would be greatly appreciated :)
thanks !

Another question - what program are you using to publish the
file as a standalone application that users can download? It seems
that publishing the flash file as a projector (.exe) file only
makes it open in flash player
was that a dumb question?
I'm using Flash 8. As long as the user has Flash installed in
their browser than using the .exe file on the computer has no
issues. I believe that the reason the .exe file is larger than the
.swf is that it contains the necessary information to run the .exe
file whether Flash is installed on the computer or not. I haven't
tested that out yet though.
Adobe's Air actually allows you to install the application. I
haven't been able to play with that as of yet, but I have seen some
people using it and a demo of it.
*Edit*
I just tested the application I have out on a computer
without Flash on it, and it worked fine. So, the reason the .exe
files are so large is because they contain all the requirements to
run a Flash app.
