Trouble Import Flash Builder 4 project into Flash Builder 4.5

Hi,
I have quite a lot of Flash Builder 4 Air project which I would like to convert all of them into Flash Builder 4.5 project. However, after I tried to import it into 4.5, the project got error and saying that "application descriptor not found".
I am posting it here because I believe it is due to improper import of the air project into 4.5. Flash Builder 4.5 should be intelligent enough to solve the problem when converting the project. Hope there will be a fix for it soon
Btw, how can I manually solve this problem so that I can get all my previous projects run on 4.5? Thanks.

Hi Yue,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with Flash Builder. Would you mind reposting this over on the Flash Builder forums? You'll probably have better luck over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Run AIR Project Entirely from a DVD - no installation

Hi Everyone,
I seem to be getting into AIR at both a good and a bad time. The good is that there is all this support for devices coming down the pipe. The bad is that in Flash CS5 I've lost the ability to publish to Adobe AIR and instead I just see an option for iPhone iOS. I used to see an AIR option but during Adobe updates it appears to have vanished.Plus there is that CS5.5 paid upgrade looming. I don't want to be doing a lot of updating mid-production if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I can work around getting AIR 2.6 to work for a desktop app if need be but I have a project that needs to run entirely from DVD with no installation at all because the target user (drug company sales team) do not have admin priviledges on their computers. Plus there will be 2 to 3 GB of videos that the don't want to install either. Everytime I try to do something with AIR it seems to do an install.
So can AIR do this? Run entirely self contained from a DVD without installing on the Windows operating system?
In the past I have done projects like this but used Macromedia Director on several occassions and for 1 I just used a straight Flash projector.
Any input much appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy

Thanks. That's what I suspected.
Why not make a projector, as in Flash projector? That is the option I am going with but I thought I would explore AIR for delivery since my client is also talking about an iPad version and if I could actually conquer the "author once publish many" method with AIR then that would be a good thing. This project may need updating 3 times a year.
I used to do these kind of projects all the time with Director and the Buddi API Xtra for accessing the OS for things like; display info, is Acrobat installed, is PowerPoint installed, is Quicktime installed (what version), saving a configuration file etc. I used to consider Director the ultimate Flash wrapper Buddy API Xtra added about 300 system functions that Director doesn't have. Functions that Flash projectors don't have either for that matter, but I can do the minimum I need for version 1 of this with fscommand. I may give Zinc a try.
Cheers,
Randy

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.

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

My mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

Air project works in test but fails when installed.

I have a little project I'm trying to put together as a stand-alone widget. It loads some sounds that are set up in sets and saved in a subdirectory of the application directory. I have a movie clip in the library that appears when the "Config" button is pressed.
Works great in test mode. The sounds are loaded and play. The config screen shows up when the button is pressed. The components (two sliders) work and their listeners fire. Wonderful!
But when I pack it up as an installable AIR file and then actually install it on my poncuter, epic fail. The sliders don't appear, the config button doesn't call up the configure movieClip and no sounds are played. The buttons that I placed on the stage at design time appear but don't appear to function. Nothing I added programmatically appears.
Is this an Adobe CS3 problem or did I miss something in the security sandbox? No files are being written to, I'm getting a directory listing of ./sets and then opening the files in that directory where .isDirectory comes up false. The files are XML and point to a folder off the ./sets folder and the files in that set.
I could probably track this but I have no experience debugging an AIR project. Trace is not working in development. How do people debug the final? Output to a dynamic text field?

Sorry to hear you are having a tough go of it...
there should be no reasons that your application functions differently debugging than when you install the application so the behavior you are seeing is likely something easy to fix (as opposed to having to re-write a bunch of AS code :D).
Couple of Questions:
1.) Are you using CS3 as-is out of the box - or did you manually upgrade your AIR SDK inside Flash Professional to target a later version?
2.) What version of AIR are you targeting?
3.) What version of AIR do you have installed on your system?
4.) What OS are you running on?
5.) Can you install any AIR applications on your machine and have them run properly? (Bunch of AIR apps here: http://www.adobe.com/go/airmarketplace)
6.) It sounds like you are likely using CS3 and not the command line tools - but if you are using the command line tools (ADT) to create your AIR package what command line do you use to create it?
That should help get things rolling...but likely the best course of action is for you to send us your project so we can take a look. You can send your project to cthilgen at adobe.com - please do not send a zip as our mail system will auto-reject it.
Also, you should be able to get trace output. If you are using CS3 the trace output goes to the output panel. (Windows->Output) If you are using the AIR command line tools (ADL) - debug output is enabled by default (you have to manually pass -nodebug to turn it off).
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Can a Flash Builder AIR project be Catalyst compatible?

So, I'm trying to figure out my best workflow.
I have FB 4.5 and Catalyst 1.5. I'm trying to create a desktop app.
I'm looking at Adobe's article on creating a Library project, and it seems that a Catalyst library project and an AIR project are mutually exclusive. Meaning, if I choose Catalyst compatibility I can't choose "Include AIR Libraries" and vice-versa.
Is there some other route I should take?
Thanks
Kristin

Yes, FC does not accept projects which has AIR libraries. You might have to separate out the code using AIR APIs into a separate library and then use the original library project to round trip with FC.

Create Air Project from Existing Flex web project

LaunchPad rocks! Love the whole concept of using Air apps to supplement the Eclipse-based IDE.
Often I have a need for two versions of the same app in Flash Builder: One web project and one desktop project. It would be great if you can point to an existing Flex web project, and use LaunchPad to create the new air version.
Anyway, PLEASE keep expanding your vision! One day I would love to see a 100% Air app for building Air apps and scrap Eclipse! OK, maybe a little out of scope.
Nice work!

Turn the body of your application into a component and embed an instance of that component in both a Flex and an AIR application.
1. Create a new Library project
2. Set the Library path (e.g. external library references) for the new library project so the match the original project
3. Copy the /src/ from the original project to the new library project
4. Copy the original project's main mxml file to the library src/. Name it as a component (e.g. MyProjectBody)
5. modify the copied mxml file by replacing the <Application> with <Canvas> elements and removing application-specific stuff
6. compile the new library
7. add the new library to the original project's Library Path
8. Modify the original project's main mxml file by _removing_ everything inside the <Application> tags and removing the attributes that set event handlers, etc.
9. Add an instance of the new library's component MyProjectBody (see step 4)
10. Create a new AIR project
11. add the new library to the original project's Library Path
12. Add an instance of the new library's component MyProjectBody (see step 4) to the <WindowedApplication> tag
You can do fun things like create a standard I/O interface and have web and desktop-specific implementations so your main code does not know if it is running in a browser or not.
Desktop drag-and-drop will fire normal DragEvent, etc., but with different payloads. You can have code in the library that handles both kinds of dropping.\

Inserting/manipulating PDF in Flex 3 AIR project?

I've read as much as I can find about dropping a PDF into my
Flex 3 AIR project, but the information is scarce and I understand
it's a very new (not fully baked) feature.
Can anyone describe what component to use to drop a PDF into
my AIR project? I need to manipulate the PDF from within AIR and
would prefer not to abstract through the HTML Container object
(e.g. calling JS through the HTML Container object).
Thanks,
Mike

looks like your equipmentArray is empty. Put a breakpoint inside that method to see if there is any data.

XML Files Won't Load Into AIR Correctly

Hi,
I am having a wierd problem. I am using FB 4.6, and have created a small web project swf file that loads in an xml file and creates a thumbnail gallery. It works fine. When I load this same swf file into my AIR project at runtime, the same xml file will not load correctly into it. Instead, it appears to be loading as gibberish, and the XML parser says it is malformed. I have attached a screen shot of it in the debugger. This is what it looks like after the xml load complete event fires.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
thx

It appears that if I run the generated swf file from the AIR project in the stand alone Flash player, everything works as it should. However, if I run it in AIR using the FB run command, I have the issues mentioned above. What would cause that?

Port AIR project to FlashPlayer

Hello,
I have developed a mobile project in AIR, and was wondering if there was any easy way to port or embed the project into a HTML file for web.
I run into problems trying to output in flash, for instance not recognizing StageWebView and other incompatibilites.
Anyone have any methods to go about this easily? Seems like it would be common need to publish a developed mobile app for web use.
Thank you.

you're welcome.
(p.s when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses, if there are any.)

My Adobe Air project shown as open source...

Hey all,
wonder why when my project installed on my computer, when I open the installation directory I can see the *.html files source, *.js source.. and all files of my project?

The installation directory includes assets packaged with (and used by) the AIR application, including HTML, JS, SWF, and the application descriptor file. These assets are not compressed or obfuscated.

How to convert keystore (from native android project) to .p12 to use with AIR project?

Due to the advancements with adobe AIR, I'm really excited to be finishing up a HUGE update of an old project that was originally made with native android.
But, i've hit a brick wall with 2 issues, and it would be terrible if all the work i've done in AIR was for nothing...
First, how do I convert the keystore I previously used (from native android project) to .p12 to use with AIR project? (on a mac)
Second, how do I remove the "air." that gets automatically appended onto the front my android package name? I plan to use a captive runtime, so it's not really needed at all, and I can't upload it like this as an update because it will think it's a different app.
Please help so I can continue using air for all my projects from now on!

Thanks for the reply!
So I'm going through this guide..
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/opt-out-air-application-analytics.html
I followed all the steps, made all the adjustments to the androidmanifest.xml like it asks.
But when i get to the stap that says
"Run the following command to create the resource file for the updated AndroidManifest.xml:"
I run this..
    "/Users/brybam/Documents/eclipse/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools/aapt" package -f -M AndroidManifest.xml -F resources.arsc -I "/Users/brybam/Documents/eclipse/android-sdk-mac_x86/platforms/android-8/android.jar" -S ./res
But I keep getting the same error
    ./res/layout/expandable_chooser_row.xml:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)
    ./res/layout/expandable_multiple_chooser_row.xml:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)
    ./res/layout/main.xml:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)
    ./res/layout/multiple_file_selection_panel.xml:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)
    ./res/layout/ssl_certificate_warning.xml:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)
The guide doesn't say anything about these xml files, and im not sure what to do with these ore how to handle them.
If i go into the res/layout folder, and just delete these (i know theyre for my layout and i need them, but im just saying i deleted them for the sake of a test)
I was able to get through the rest of the steps in the guide fine, make an apk, and put it on my phone...only to find out the app will crash the moment you try to run it.
So my question is, does anyone with any experience re-packaging an android application know how I might get around this or take care of the errors with the xml files in the layout folder?
Thanks!!
EDIT to note something i've tried:
So, earlier in the guide they have me use thing thing called the "AXMLPrinter2.jar" to make the AndroidManifest.xml readable so i can edit it.
I run something like this:
    java -jar "/Users/brybam/Desktop/repackage/AXMLPrinter2.jar" AndroidManifest.xml > AndroidManifest.xml.bk
This makes a new file "AndroidManifest.xml.bk" and i can edit that.
So, I was thinking with all of these layout xml files, maybe I could run this "AXMLPrinter2.jar" on them and then edit them. Because right now if you open them they're not human readable, and its hard for me to work on them if they're not...
But when i do the same command I did on the AndroidManifest.xml i just get blank files...
I tried
    java -jar "/Users/brybam/Desktop/repackage/AXMLPrinter2.jar" main.xml > main.xml.bk
Just get a blank file.
So, i think the issue might be with these just not being re-formatted to human readable.

How do I use Embed with an environment variable in an Actionscript AIR project Flash Builder 4.7

I am using Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Actionscript AIR project. The project embeds a number of png files from my local directory and I have been using absolute paths which all works fine.
I have a laptop with which I want to start developing the same project - I set up a git repository that both the laptop and main pc can pull from and so I can get the source where I need it and push it back to the central repository.
My problem is that the absolute paths for the embed commands don't work on the laptop as it has a different filesystem setup (Windows 8 with one drive as opposed to Windows 7 with a SSD and a data drive). I thought the solution would be as easy as using an environment variable to specify the path which could then point to a different physical directory on both machines, i.e:
[Embed(source = "DEVELOPER_RESOURCES/graphics/are/here.png"]
I did a bit of research and there was quite a lot mentioned about setting up resource directories using path variables which I worked through but I just can't get it to compile. The Actionscript compiler just won't find the png files however I specify the path. I tried something with a FLEX project and the compiler didn't complain but I think this is because the compiler for FLEX uses a different convention.
[Embed(source ="/Project Name/DEVELOPER_RESOURCES/graphics/are/here.png"] works with FLEX but not Actionscript.
So does anyone have a recipe for using the Embed command referencing assets using an environment variable that works across multiple machines with different file structures?

I managed to find a solution on Windows which was to use symlinks and absolute paths. You an basically point one directory to another so I did something like:
mklink c:\developer_resources c:/the/local/path/to/my/resources
and then reference all resources as c:\developer_resources\...
Now as long as a developer machine has the right link (from c:\developer_resources to the place where the resources are kept) then it seems to work.
This doesn't however work for Mac and certainly isn't a solution for passing files between Mac and windows
