AIR runtime installed - run an AIR app from USB?

Just wondering if it would be possible to create an AIR application that can run from a USB stick, assuming the target system has AIR installed. Basically, is it possible to skip the 'install' phase of the application (not the runtime), and if so, what are the resulting limitations if any? (FileType associations don't get created or something, etc?)
Cheers,
John

No, this isn't supported.

Problem starting AIR app from windows server 2003

Hello,
I have an AIR app that I am trying to run using a c#
webservice under Win 2003.
I am starting the application process (air .exe file) as the
"Network Service" user which has full-rights on the app-folder and
app-working folder. The problem is that once with the applications
the "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" process is starting to (using the same
user N.S.) and both of the processes stop responding.
I have tried to start the process as "Local Service" with
"Desktop Interaction" too but unfortunately with no result.
I must tell you that under XP and Vista it runs perfect...
Is there any security issue related to win 2003 or any way i
can start an air app from command line.
Also i am interested why "Adobe Air Updater.exe" is starting
?

Not sure about copying eulaAccepted file from one location to another - that would really depend on which user account your service is running under.
A better approach (IMHO), is to open the services window (My Computer | <right-click> | Manage, then navigate to Services and expand the tree) so you can see your service on the RHS.
Stop your service, then inspect it's properties, select the 'Log on' tab, then check the checkbox which says "Allow system to interact with desktop". Apply the change, then restart your service.
next time the AIR runtime prompts you to accept the EULA, the window will appear on the screen, so you can click "I accept".
After accepting, reverse the procedure which allowed the service to interact with the desktop, and make sure that you have modified the registry to prevent AIR from updating as mentioned in:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3 d11c0f59823a-7ff0.html
You should be all set.

Any solution for Launching Air Apps from Sandboxed Chrome and Safari Browsers?

Before we go and build our own plug-in (Ugh!)...
As of early this year, we could no longer launch our Air application from Chrome. Now Safari (with Mavericks) has Sandboxed Flash with their browser and it will no-longer launch our application.
Does anyone have any helpful advice (beyond building our own plug-in)?
Thanks,
Leo

For the Chrome issue, I added instructions on how to manually enable an exception so that the plugin could run. The easier way to get it working is to have them install an Air app from the browser using a Flash badge. This didn't work for us since our app needs a native installer. Another option is to have our user install another Air app from our site. The exception is created for the site and the Air plugin so even though it would be a different app, once they allowed the plugin on our site, we could launch the natively installed app after that.
I just discovered the Safari sandbox issue on Mavericks. I haven't tried either of these approaches on Safari yet. Is it the AdobeAAMDetect plugin in Safari settings that needs to be allowed?

Launching an AIR app from another (when offline)?

I have a pair of AIR applications that are meant to work
together as part of an application suite. One feature is that a
user should be able to click a button in APP_1 and launch APP_2 (if
installed). To do this I created a "LaunchButton.swf" that loads
"air.swf". This works GREAT when the user is online and "air.swf"
is able to be loaded from "
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf".
I tried to copy "air.swf" locally and use that instance but I am
guessing that it doesn't work due to security restrictions.
If there are any AIR engineers reading this (Oliver?) please
let me know if there is a solution to "Launching an AIR app from
another (when offline)?"
Thanks!

I think theoretically it shouldn't work, and doesn't by the
response you give. Remember a functional work around isn't always a
fix. What you've essentially done is loaded the air.swf into a
sandbox bridge, bridging it between a web sandbox and an
application sandbox, therefore you're able to call its methods
without security errors. However, if the air.swf loads in another
swf, maybe a helper swf, you won't be able to access any methods in
that swf, neither will the air.swf. To my understanding, it's not
grandfathered into the sandbox bridge, but retains its web sandbox.
Before going crazy about the bad news I may have just given,
wait until Ted returns to give you a response. I could be way off
par here :) Good luck!

How to compile an .air app from the ADT command line?

Hi,
I would like to compile an .air app from the ADT command line.
Does anybody have an example?
I don't know how to add the AIR SDK path and a folder to it.
Is there a generator for the command line availabble?
Thanks

Correction: it seems that Applescripts and some similar scripts can be called from the command line using "osascript scriptname". I don't speak automator but you might like to try it. osascript seems to come with severe limitations though, for instance it doesn't allow user interaction such as dialogue boxes.

Start Air app from shell (adb shell am start)?

SDK: 2.6
Im trying to auto start my app when I push it to a device for testing. Im using the adb shell with the "am start" command.
Example In Bash: $am start air.SampleProject
Returns the error:
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=air.SampleProject}
Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=air.SampleProject flg=0x10000000 }
Help?
I have found you have to start the start or maybe add something else int he manifest but I cant figure it out. Is there a way to start a air app from shell?

Using ADL
$ adl releaseDirectory/yourApp-app.xml
That's it. Just make sure you have your SWF file to be called from the application descriptor.

How can I run a gui app from an su shell?

Hello,
I login to my mac as a non-admin account. I then open a terminal and su to my admin account for anything requiring it. I am trying to run a gui app from the terminal window, but get this error, and the app does not open:
$ /usr/local/bin/wireshark

I know I can "switch user" but this is cumbersome as it requires typing a password each time, and I need to have applications side-by-side for easy access and testing. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I use LaunchAsRoot to run GUI apps as the root user, while logged in to my admin account.
Another way is to use Applescript. Here's what I do to run Console as root:
do shell script "/Applications/Utilities/Console.app/Contents/MacOS/Console > /dev/null 2>&1 &" with administrator privileges

Can I install 10.6 OS X from USB drive? Imac 2008 24"

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can, but it's a bit difficult because you have to copy the Snow Leopard disc content to a USB drive. There are a lot of pages which have got the steps to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the USB drive, like this page > http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html

Need to 'launch' AIR app from SD card on Samsung Galaxy TABLET...

April/28/11 at 3pm ET
Hi to the group...
Not 100% sure if this is proper forum to ask this, if anyone knows a better one please point me to it via ([email protected])
Ok. Trying to see if my working .AIR app will run on my pals Samsung Tablet (before I buy one for myself)...
Dropped the 'AIR' file onto the SD card (I can see it (the AIR file, size correct) via the fileBrowser app but clicking it does nothing.
Of note AIR is installed in background of the device and it is running.
Cant see/find an 'Adobe AIR launcher?' icon' anywhere (only see Adobe PDF browser).
In all my web searching I see 10000 developer related tutorials re: creating an APK file / converting to APK file using Flash Professional ect. Not what I am looking for...
I think I am missing something very basic here is there a launcher for AIR apps on Android?
TIA //GregH

Hello
Thank you for your post.
You cannot throw directly from your external device, however you can once that file is transferred to internal memory.

How to Autorun an Adobe AIR App from CD

Does anyone know how to auto-run and Adobe AIR application, or auto-install the Adobe AIR runtime (if it's not installed yet on the user's machine) and then the Adobe AIR application from a CD or DVD?
How is it done?
Thanks in advance for any inputs on this.

You can apply for permission to redistribute the AIR runtime:

Installing Windows XP with bootcamp from usb thumb on MacBook air 11'

Hi everyone,
I have a macbook air and I'm new to macs.
I had recently installed win7 on it with bootcamp and a usb drive successfully. But, the 20g space required to install win7 was getting on my nerves (lets put it that way).
I wanted to install a windows xp copy. I erased my win7 partition. Remade a new 20g partition with bootcamp. Then I did the same steps I used to install win7 with my usb drive. But instead of copying win7 files on the drive, I copying my win xp files. Then when I booted my mac with refit and chose to boot with the usb drive (with win xp) I get the error message: non system drive error.
I do not understand what I am doing wrong, since I used the same technique that worked with win7.
Any one has a clue on how to work with this?
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows the answer.
Also if you have a macbook air and successfully installed win xp with a usb drive, I would like to know the steps you used to do it (if its not too much to ask)
I don't want to use parallels or any other virtual machine than a bootcamp copy of win xp.

I can't really assist on your issue however I can point you to the correct forum to post to. There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp, I'd recommend navigating and reposting there. The address is:

This forum is specifically for MBA's however not too many people run Windows on them from what I can tell.

Launch desktop AIR app from swf button

I have a very simple task. I have an AIR app installed. All I want to be able to do is launch it from a swf button. I am building the swf button in Flash CS6. How do I do this? All it has to do is launch the app. No fancy stuff, no installs, no validation. Just launch the darn app. I can't seem to find a simple solution. Thanks!

Not sure exactly why yet, but I finally found something that worked!!!! Hope this saves someone else hours of research:
myCustomBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, versionDetectCallback);
var _air:Object;
var _loader:Loader;
var appID:String = "thenameofmyapp";
var pubID:String = " ";
function loadAir() : void
_loader = new Loader();
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,onInit);
_loader.load(new   URLRequest("http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf"),loaderContext);
function onInit(event:Event) : void
_air = event.target.content;
        //the pubID argument resolves to and empty string ""
        _air.getApplicationVersion(appID, pubID, versionDetectCallback);
function versionDetectCallback(event:MouseEvent) : void
       _air.launchApplication(appID,pubID);
loadAir();

How can I compile an AIR app from the Flex-OEM Compiler?

Hi all.
As i've read in http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=CommandLineTools_1.html, you should run amxmlc or pass +configname=air param to mxmlc in order to compile an air application. Is there a way to do this with the OEM Compiler?
Thanks

I ran across this article, however it's for an earlier version of AIR. A version that used publisherID, however that is not required in the new air versions.
http://blog.everythingflex.com/2009/06/08/open-an-air-application-from-a-2nd-air-applicati on/
I tried creating this app without the pub id, didn't seem to work. I've got to get a certificate and get the pub id from that.

Opening an AIR App from another AIR App

Hello Experts,
I want to make an AIR application from which I can execute
other AIR Application. Does any one have any idea how it can be

It cannot be done. If you browse the archive you will find
plenty of relevant "discussions".
