Air Desktop Icon

Hi
I'm trying to get my first Air application written in Flex 3 to have a desktop icon but I think I'm doing something wrong or missing something.
I've added the .png file to my assets folder and referenced it in the application.xml file:
<image32x32>assets/MySearch.png</image32x32>
but it does not show up as the application icon on the desktop, where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Charles

This was the message I was about to send ( I was building an example for you ):
You took the block comments out right?
When you export the release build you are selecting that asset folder to go with it?
Here is mine:
After packaging and installation I see the icon correctly
Built using SDK 3.2 Air 1.5

Air/Flash Customize desktop icon

Dear,
I have created à rss reader with Flash and AS3, in generated a air application.
I works well, but i need to customize the desktop Air Desktop icon.
My application check each hours if there is new rss information, if there is new information i want to show a textfield on the desktop with a text information.
Is there any way to do it ?
Thanks

That's really a 2-parter question.
On the icon, it is specified in the XML. Just specify each size of the icons requested and your app will have an icon. Windows may need a user to verify it "trusts" your app before it will display the icon however.
Secondly, what you seem to want to do is create a tray application that will pop up windows with information based on some new info it receives. To do that simply have a look at this great article explaining how to work with the dock and tray icons. It tells you how to make them attract attention, offer custom menus and all the usual things you'd expect in a tray app. That'll keep your app running at all times and let you draw windows with your text as you receive it:

Extend supported icon sizes for AIR Desktop Apps

Currently AIR Desktop Apps seem to only support a limited set of icon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 128x128px).
It would be great to see bigger icon sizes (like 256x256 and 512x512px) being supported as well. For example, Windows7 does not display 128x128px icon size so the maximum icon size for AIR apps on Windows is currently 48x48px (which actually is pretty small and results in pixelated icons).
Can you please consider the option of extending supported icon sizes?

Feature request for this issue: Bug#3844899 - Adobe AIR does not support 256x256 desktop icons on Windows Vista, 7 or 8.x

How do i remove window icons on my macbook air desktop?

How do I remove window icons on my macbook air desktop? (specifically when you use the 4 finger scroll to see all the windows you have open...)

Ok thanks. Actually I figured it out. I was trying to remove the icons (windows) I had open when you use 4 fingers to see all the desktops and windows you have open. I just had to click on the window then press esc, then X and it deleted it. Thanks anyways

How to not create a desktop icon in AIR installation

Hi, because AIR cannot launch a local .EXE, I need to have a non-AIR .exe do some things and then call the AIR app. Problem is that the AIR installation also creates an icon on the desktop which is confusing to the end users and often times they click the AIR icon directly as opposed to the non-AIR .exe which calls the AIR .exe.
My questions is:
1. Is there a way for just windows, to have the AIR installation not create the icon on the desktop but still create icons for MAC and LINUX.
2. If not, then is there a way to have the AIR installation not create the icons for all cases and then I'd just need to manage different project files: one for Windows and one for Mac/Linux
thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem for different reasons, I'm delivering an AIR app for a customer who has a company wide policy of no desktop icons for apps installed on work machines.
The app in question fires up at Start Up so there is no need for one anyway.
So is there absolutely no way (in AIR 1.5) I can prevent Adobe AIR from placing an icon on the desktop if the user does not untick the box when installing?
Thanks

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by Apple / Android?

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by apple / android?
This is my question....:
I need a "viewer" app run in a desktop machine... via p2p... ( done and working )
I will like to include it in my iOS / Android Release, an then by example move it to the documents folder.
Run iTunes and then copy the file from the shared document folder.
Is this permited by apple / android / adobe ?
Thanks....

just tracing some kind of tests I'm doing.
A couple of hours ago I left working 2 instances of my Application, leaving alone this computer: one instance is the Mac desktop version and the other one is the Web version. In this case both versions were running on the same computer (an iMac with OS X Mavericks):
1) the AIR/Mac version have been recompiled yesterday with the new AIR4(.0.0.1619 - AIR 3.8 is used to fall in a equivalent way - no changes)
2) the Web version have been compiled targeting FP 11.8 and it is running on Chrome browser with PepperFlash NOT disabled (which reports version MAC 13.0.0.80, the latest)
I left working both the Mac and the Web versions of the Application opened on the pc screen (= not minimized) but kept totally behind some Terminal/ssh windows (= not on OS focus and the system is not asked to update any screen area of the app for sure).
I came back after about 2 hours and I got the browser version connected&running (but it is not a rule) and I also found the AIR-based Mac version disconnected (uau, usually I found the app disconnected but with the screen freezed at last user look ->) which rapidly reconnects upon my click on the Apple dock icon (bring to front).
Why these different behaviours? I ask to myself.
The two versions of the software are TOTALLY the SAME application: except for the first Flash file (a 24kb swf file for the Web version and a 170kb dmg file for the Mac version), basically a platform-dependent loader, both versions loads the same remote swf modules. Of course t is AIR (or my first Flash file?).
I attach the source code of the Mac version of the [first file] AIR-based application at the following url:
http://92.63.230.100/others/others/wtstarter_mac.as.txt
_Adobe_, is it a bug? isn't it?

How do I get Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URL text file has been updated?

How do I get an Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URLRequest ".txt" file has been updated? via blinking system tray icon or something.
New to Air and need someone to point me in the right direction. I have been searching web for hours and probably not asking the question right.
I have a very simple Desktop App that just loads a text file from a web location into a dynamic text field at a set timer. it just repeats this action on the timer. right now every 5 minutes
What would the actionscript be to tell the Air App to look at the date or time stamp of the ".txt" file and notify user if its new?
Thanks

Is there a program that can open .desktop icons?

Hi.
I am 15 years old and have downloaded a game thats called Planetside 2 with the program wine and winebottler. It installed perfectly and leaved a icon thats named Planetside2.PSG.desktop. I didn't exit the window until the planetside 2 have uploaded everything. After one day I decided to play Planetside 2 but I couldn't open that icon. Not even my winebottler couldn't open it. Is there a way or a program that can open that. (I do not want any suggestions buy virtual machines because I don't have a disk reader that can run cd´s).
The way I did it.
1. Installed Planetside 2
2. Created a desktop icon for shortcut. (There also came a sort of document Planetside2.PSG.ink)
3. Waited Planetside 2 to upload ( I went about 3 hours so I went to bed).
4. Next morning, tried to use the shortcut (Planetside2.PSG.desktop) to launch it.
5. Searching if there was anything more installed in the computer and I couldn't find anything except that desktop icon.
Well there is one opertuntity that works but it takes a LONG time because I have to install it again and click the repear option to even open Planetside 2.
My computer is a Macbook air with operating system OS X 10.8.4. (its not mountain lion but it was no more option).

Thanks, I should talk to the support and now I know where my game is! I had the problem to find Planetside was one of the problems and it was in a windows c:drive that is almost impossible to find (Spotlight and Finder searches doesn't work). But I found a program that can find EVERY single program which is OmniDiskSweeper. It calculates every folders and programs size and lays a display on how much spaces it takes on your computer. If anyone have problem to find the windows C:drive I can guide you like this:
Machintosh HD>Users>Your computer name (Which would take a lot of gbytes)>Library(Its probably here the folder Library doesn't show up)>Application Support>com.yourcompany.yourapp.??>there is your windows c:drive!
Maybe in some computers it doesn't work but it worked for me how I found my C:drive. I was using a program called wine so that maybe explains the dissapering. Wine laid it on the C:drive.

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

When I attach USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears. I just finished downloading pictures off of old mac and that one worked as expected.The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull USB out pompts message improper eject. Any ideas?

When I attached my USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears and the same when I attached my new superdrive. I just finished downloading pictures off of my old Mac and that one worked as expected. The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull the USB flashdrive out, a message prompts me with an improper eject notice. Any ideas on why no icon (a disc) appears and how can I get it to?

Open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and do the same for what you want displayed in the sidebar.

Win 10 - Desktop Icons Issue

Hi! Today I clean-installed windows 10, but I am facing an issue(?): Basically, I can't move my desktop icons to the last/bottom row, I mean just above the taskbar (possible thing in windows 8/8.1) I am going crazy for this! :\

What is the problem that you're having? Desktop Icons Issue isn't really enough information to go on.
