.Air File

I download alot of planes into my flight simulator. After I
download and extract the file, it has a download application file.
My problem is that it shows up with a brown envelope with .air on
it and it says to get hold of the author. I have Adobe .Air
installed, but how do I apply it to my game. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks

Rich,
The issue is that both AIR and your flight sim want to use
the .air extension. Your best soultion is probably to map the .air
extension back to the flight sim (using the File Types pane of the
Folder Options window -- this is Windows correct?).
After you make this change, AIR applications can't be
installed by double-clicking an AIR file, of course. To install an
AIR application you will have to right-click the AIR file and chose
"Open with > Adobe AIR Application Installer".

Error creating AIR file: could not generate timestamp

I have been getting this error the last few days.
Error creating AIR file: could not generate timestamp:

Since this was working now it is not I'm looking for a direction.

Hey Karthik,
First of all, are you using ECLIPSE? What is your development
Environment. I had run into same issue, after hours of trying
different things, I installed the FLEX BUILDER and was able to
create the application without any issues. I have also noticed that
FLEX BUILDER works more smoothly than Eclipse and since then I have
been developing within FB.
Thanks.

Installing .air file on Windows 7 64-bit

This batch command works in XP and in Windows 7 32-bit, but not in Windows 7 64-bit:
@echo off
REM
REM Set location to install to. (This dir must exist or install wont work!)
REM
set INSTLOC="c:\producthelp"
REM
REM Install help.
REM
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location %INSTLOC% "Product Help.air"
(product name replaced with Product.) We are using the latest (today's) AdobeAIRInstaller.exe. We have tried using identical syntax to install other .air files from the Adobe site; they did not install either. Is there something simple we're missing here? Is there a known issue with installing .air files on 64-bit Windows 7? I couldn't find one at this site.

I think the reason you have had no reply is that no one has an answer. The only thing I can think of is to ask if the AIR file installs if you run it normally rather than from a batch file. If it does, then you know where the problem is but I cannot help you with that.

Error creating AIR file

When I try to Publish to AIR file,
Error Creating AIR file.
The swf file specified as root content is missing.
error is shown.
When I run the Publish Project from the Project Panel in Flash CS4,
The same error as earlier is obtained:
Error Creating AIR file.
The swf file specified as root content is missing.
and:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.filesystem::File could not be found.
at global$init()
my application has a TextArea control in the library added to stage via actionscript (2 textarea instances).
2 folders in applicationStorageDrectory with a database in one.The other folder will get populated with files at runtime only.
Am I missing some thing?
Please help me.

I solved it.
I changed the .fla to a new folder and things works fine.
The reason I suppose is with the project settings in the project panel in flash.
So this time didn't add any project to the project panel.
Thank You.

"Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

Hello-
I have an air application that is distributed via CDROM, the app is signed by a code signing certificate and timestamped. In mid-August when my certicate expired my users started calling stating that they couldn't install our product due to the following error: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author." From my understanding a timestamped application is taken at a point in time when it's generated so why would it matter if the certificate was still valid? I have since replaced the certificate and will need to redistribute to my (thousands of) users however when I test it out using a future date and time the same error occurs. Any information to help resolve this would be grately appreciated.

my command:
C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adl
application.xml
C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adt
-certificate -cn HelloW
orld 1024-RSA certHelloWorld.pfx password

Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally. It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is included with the air install file. Is there a size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to create and AIR is v 1.53.

I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram. It plays fine on the Mac. On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb. I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe... I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

Including a PDF in an AIR File

I have imported a Word 2003 manual into RH8, updated it, then generated both an AIR file and Printed Documentation output as a single Word document. After fixing formatting/style issues in the document, I then converted the generated document to PDF from within Word. Now I am trying to figure out how to attach the PDF so that when users access the AIR file, the PDF is also available to them there should they want it. (In the past, we have always provided PDF versions from our website but would like to instead include them in the AIR file). I know it can be done because I saw a demo AIR file that had it....
I realize that there is a print feature within AIR but that prints out everything annoyingly large. We have roughly 10,000 pages of documentation....and I haven't found a way to configure the size.
So 2 questions really - how do I attach the PDF so it displays in the TOC tree (or elsewhere) and is there some way to adjust the print feature that comes with AIR?
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide!
Kathi

Kathi,
I'm not sure about the print feature, but in terms of packaging a .pdf file with the AIR output, I asked virtually the same question in a topic like four up from yours. If you back to the Adobe Robohelp AIR output forum, it will be towards the top and is called something like "Embedding PDFs". It turns out you add them as baggage files. Then, once they are in the Project Manager as a baggage file, you can open the topic you want the link to be in, hold down shift, and then drag the baggage file from the Project Manager to the topic. It will then automatically create the link to the pdf. One thing to note is that to actually make the link work, you have to install the .air file and then open it. If you generate the air output and then press on that View Output button, the pdf link won't work. You must click on the Install button. Let me know if the thread I mentioned does not answer your question. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Robert

AIR Badge + RewriteRule fails - Downloaded file is not an air file

Hi everyone!
I'm not entirely sure my problem comes from RewriteRule but I've searched this forum for topics on corrupted AIR files and the Install Badge and tried almost every possible tip with no luck so I thought maybe my special issue comes from it...
Here we go:
I have a server-side script that builds AIR apps which are supposed to be installed (via an Install Badge). Those AIR apps are not stored at a public URL (for security reasons) but read (via PHP) when a specific URL is called. Let me give you an example (with fake paths) :
The server-side built AIR app is store at /srv/data/air/myApp.air
A RewriteRule redirects calls to http://www.my-server.com/air/999.air to http://www.my-server.com/air.php?id=999
The air.php uses the GET id to read the AIR file :
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private", false);
header("Content-Type: $mimeType");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name;" );
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($path));
readfile($path);
With $mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" and $name="999.air"...
When accessing the rewritten URL directly with a browser, everything is fine: the AIR file can be downloaded and installed as expected.
But! When using an Install Badge linking to that URL, I get the nasty "The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged" message...
And here's what's stored in .airappinstall.log:
Starting app install of http://(...)/9889.air
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
Downloading file to C:\Documents and Settings\Quentin\Local Settings\Temp\fla19D.tmp
Received HTTP Response Status event
Response URL is http://(...)/9889.air
Downloaded file is not an air file.
starting cleanup of temporary files
application installer exiting
Hum... And I'm stuck.
Thoughts?
I have multiple Install Badges in the same page, do you think this can break things?
I've try adding the AddType instruction in a .htaccess file but it didn't change a thing...
Thanks in advance!

OK, I've got news.
Bad news.
In fact I realized the appurl set in the Install badge is (obviously) not called directly but by a script located at http://adobe.com/apollo... So your my session is not available in the script that is called and that reads the actual AIR file. So I can't check wether the user requiring the file has the right to. At least, not the way I intended to do it...
I will keep you updated if I find something!

Can't package native installer on Linux with Flex SDK 4.5 : Invalid AIR file

Hi,
We've moved our application to compile against the 4.5 SDK.
We're compiling it with Flash Builder (on mac) into an air file and as our application is using NativeProcess API, we're packaging it on each platform into a native installer with the following command (linux example) : adt -package -target native app.deb app.air
We think we fall into the same issue as http://forums.adobe.com/message/3271944#3271944 but for the 4.5 DSK.
On Linux it used to work with the following environment (env1):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.1.0.16076 + Adobe Air SDK 2.5.0
It stops to work when we upgrade to the new Flex SDK (env2):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.5.0.20967 (with the default embeded Adobe Air SDK 2.6)
The faut message is "Invalid AIR file" and nothing is logged in the log file (/home/<username>/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/Logs/Install.log).
1) The .air file is installing correctly on env2 (without the support of the NativeProcess as expected)
2) We also tried to compile the project directly on env2 :
amxml app.mxml
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 app.air app-app.xml air.swf
The .air file is installing fine but the packaging into a native process fails in the same way...
3) We tried to package a native installer of our .air file on env1 and it works!!! (the installed application seems to work fine also on env2!!!)
Are we missing something or does it seems to be a bug of the Flex SDK 4.5?
Are there some restrictions to package a native installer with the Flex SDK 4.1 a air app build with the Flex SDK 4.5 ?
Thanks in advance,
Mich

Hi,
Finally we figure out how to solve the issue.
The packaging into native .deb installer fails as explain above because with the hole Flex SDK 4.5 (adt -version told 2.6.0.1920).
The packaging is successfull if only Air SDK 2.6 is install.
What is strange that both adt seems to be the same "2.6.0.1920" (found with "adt -version").
Can someone from the Adobe dev team explain it?
I suppose as the Flex SDK is not available for the Linux platform, the download only contains the Air SDK for Windows and Mac OS as opposed to the specific download of the Air SDK for te Linux platform...
Thanks,
Mich

Can .air file be installed via command line?

Hello
First off - I know next to nothing about adobe air
I'm trying to help a situation created by a developer who was terminated
A video application was developed for us - its name is createVideo.air
My understanding is we have to 'install' this app, by executing the .air file one time
My question is:
Is it possible to execute a .air file from a command line?
My server is a LAMP environment running CentOS
abodeair2.0.2 is installed
Any links, directions or suggestions is appreciated
Thank you for your time and attention
Benn

Hi Benn,
You can do this using the Adobe AIR Application Installer. Please check out the command line arguments in our Silent Installation instructions. This document also covers installation of the Runtime and has links to the redistribution agreement if needed.
Thanks,
Chris

Damaged AIR File, Error #1000

Hello,
This is my first post, but hopefully someone here will be able to help me.
I am a Flex Developer who was just recently assigned to help out on a project that has gone bonkers. The project had been going fairly well... but after the latest build the following messages comes up during installation on Windows XP.
"Sorry, an error has occured.
The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
Awesome! All we need to do is get a new AIR file from the application author... oh wait... I AM the application author. Grumble grumble.
So I tried reinstalling the application, but this time I ran it with .airappinstall.log. Here is what was output by the log.
Starting app install of file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/2009-11-30r33MW4.air
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
Unpackaging to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\fla1D.tmp
failed while unpackaging: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #1000" errorID=1000]
starting cleanup of temporary files
application installer exiting
So, what exactly is this error? Can anyone point me to a place where I might be able to look up what Error #1000 is?
Don't worry I have done my homework, I know there are a decent amount of posts about people recieving an "AIR file damaged" error. I have looked and read through them all, but when they run a log on the install it ends up being a different error...so the other posts are not entirely helpful.
I am guessing something must have been changed in the most recent build but I was just placed into this project so I do not have much knowledge of previous versions. Any hints of suggestions about common things to check that might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

It might help if you can get the installation log and post
it.
To get the log, create a file .airappinstall.log in your home
directory.

Export .air files with Xcelsius

Hi all,
I want to start developing an adobe flex component.
I am trying to export the dashboard on the .air file, but the export u201CAiru201D option is disabled in Xcelsius. I already change the sdk Xcelsius file to u201CC:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0u201D.
I donu2019t know if I have the correct software versions:
- Xcelisus 2008 5.3.0.0
- Adobe Air 2.0.4
- Adobe Felx Builder 3.0.2
- JRE 6.0.210
All is running on Windows 7
Thanks

Hi Matt, first of all thanks for your respond
Maybe I don´t explain the correct form about my Xcelsius version, I made the installation of service pack 5.3.3.0 over the version 5.3.0.0 that I already had on my computer, but after to install the service pack 5.3.3.0, Xcelisus version continues being 5.3.0.0
In the fact after install the service pack, in my desktop had been created Xcelsius Add-On Packager shortcut
I´m sure that I followed all the steps that are mentioned to install the service pack like administrator, because one of the consequences is every time that I open my Xcelsius appears one window asking the permission to execute the changes in the program.
About the license, I think it hasnu2019t issues because I made one test in other machine that has Windows Vista, and all option shows habilitated
Thanks
