An AIR app to run a project fullscreen (alpha)

Hi,
I made this small AIR application to display a Catalyst project in fullscreen.
It s making the code very crappy and the look is crap too. Anyway, to my mind, this is just to show that Flex can produce resizable application ...
An example here ---> http://peopleinaction.free.fr/catalyst/resizable/Prototype.html
The AIR application is attached to this thread.
Use :
- create an empty Flash Builder project
- run the AIR app
- put the path to your Catalyst project (FXP file)
- put the path your new Flash Builder project
- on the AIR app, click on "Import Catalyst changes"
- from the Flash Builder project, launch the application called "Prototype.mxml" in the "src" directory
- from your running project, click on the checkbox in the top-right corner to disable the fullscreen mode

Hi,
I moved this Air application to the blog of my enterprise : http://blog.piaction.com/2009/08/catalyst-prototype-fullscreen/lang/en/
And now the prototype can fit to the browser's size AND be displayed in fullscreen.
It's rough but this is cool for client presentation

How to get Adobe Air-apps to run *properly*? (Voddler ecpecially)

First: I am running AMD64, and have installed the bin32-adob-air from AUR.
The problem is, this does not work as it should. Air apps are never "installed" like they would be in Windows, or Ubuntu with the adobe-air from adobe installed. This causes problems with remembering configs and storing data between instances. Wimp, t.ex. will never remember my password, now matter how many times I check the remember password-box. And When running VOddler it just won't find the config file.
I am trying to run Voddler in linux now, following this. But it won't work.
I just get an "error reading config file" message when starting it using the adobe-air command (ie. the script from the package. Thinking the problem might be caused by the script running air apps from a temp dir, i aslo tried to run
[gert@blad opt]$ /opt/adobe-air-sdk/bin/adl -nodebug /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer/META-INF/AIR/application.xml /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer
after unpacking the Voddler Files there, but no luck.
I see that there are a newer version of Voddler out now, and I will try that, but I'd appreciate any help with this spesific issue.
Also, I would like to know if there is any way to get the "full Air experience" where you jut click-and go, and can install Air-apps the simple, proper way "everybody else" does it. Cause Air right now is a major hassle. Is there any chance of getting the Adobe-Air installer from Adoe work on Arch, or at least get a similar result? Integrated in the system, detected in the browser on webpages etc.

I guess voddler cancels the DRM "lease" as soon as the error box pos up, giving me this question. Seems Firefox doesn't communicate properly with the air-app. Or something else I don't get. complete output from firefox run: pastebin

No Adobe air app will run Only Flash Web browser....

So I have re-installed Flash Builder So when I try and run a Adobe air app from the Flash Builder It brings up a prompt everytime saying - If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run. When I kill the Adobe Air debugger in the Task manager it pops up again saying If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
After waiting a few moments from trying again I get a message: Unable to connect to the Application to fetch profile data. Please try profiling the application again.
With Flash based - web browser apps - they run fine with no issue. How ever its only adobe air - desktop apps that run this way. This is the third time I have installed FB 4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit. last night it was all woprking fine I was able to debug my Flash Application and everything was working - it has been doing this all day.

I had the same issue suddenly today
After hours of scratching my head - and just before re-installing FlashBuilder 4.5 - I found this suggestion
I had an entry in the "mm.cfg" file:
PreloadSWF=C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9us94hs0.default\e xtensions\[email protected]\chrome\content\flashfirebug\flashfirebug.swf
- I deleted the line and it now works
---- aaarrrrggghhh - wasted time

AIR app not running on Citrix

We have delivered an AIR app to a client, and they are trying to run it on a Citrix XenApp terminal server. Part of the app makes use of the AIR browser and sessions. When the Citrix user is of sufficient privilidge (windows user), the app runs fine. When they attempt run the AIR app as an anonymous citrix user, it fails. The user cannot login to a page (presented inside the AIR browser). Any ideas?
This discussion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/208488#208488) says that the AIR browser stores cookies and cache in the "Temporary Internet Files" directory, like IE does. Is this true? If the Citrix user did not have permission to write to that directory, could that cause problems? Does the AIR browser need to be able to write anything to the file system? Will the AIR browser try to store session cookies on the filesystem, or do they just stay in memory? I have to assume that this Citirx guest user has no file system priviledges, so we may need to loosen that to get the app to work. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Did you test in the Simulator for 2.1?
I tested it in the Simulator for 2.1 and it works fine.
HOWEVER - my app doesn't work in in 2.1 for various people either. (Two emailed reports, which means probably a lot more are getting hit by this and not emailing)
And I really don't use any undocumented APIs. I do set a transform on a view, however.
My guess is they fixed a bug to do with transforms and views, which broke my App in 2.1. Sadly, this fix doesn't seem to be on the Simulator.
So I can't verify unless I update my iPod Touch to 2.1 .. which I can't do because iTunes says my version is apparently up to date for 2.0.
Crazy. Gotta find a way to get 2.1 on my iPod touch. Any suggestions?

Allow chromeless AIR app to run off top of screen

I'm creating an AIR app with no chrome.
The user moves it by draging the visible contents (via nativeWindow.startMove();)
AIR is not allowing the user to drag the the top of the app above the top edge of the screen.
This would make sense if I only had a title bar to get the window back with, but I'm not using one.
Is there a way to allow the top of the app to run off the top of the screen?
Currently Allowed
Would like to do this

[Flash CS5.5 / Air 2.6] Movieclips not showing when .air app is run on Mac

Hello,
I created an application in Flash CS5.5 using Adobe Air 2.6. When I test the app on my computer (where it was written) everything works fine. When I publish the application and run the .AIR on my computer everything works fine as well. The issues comes about when I attempt to install and run my AIR application on a Mac operating system. In this case when the application runs some graphics are visible while some aren't. Some movieclips/buttons are visible while others aren't. One example of this is the buttons. None of the buttons in the entire application are visible. When the user clicks the area where the button should be the button click event is fired and the app acts accordingly (i.e. the main menu button which can't be seen still sends the user to the main menu). What could be the problem?
I had thought of just converting the application to strictly Flash without AIR but I require AIR for the file system api as well as a couple other api components.
Thank you in advance,
Noah

Hi Noah,
I don't think I've run across this before. I'd be willing to give it a try on my system if you'd like (you can email me at [email protected]). Though I suspect this is a project specific issue, it also can't hurt to open this as a new bug over at bugbase.adobe.com.

Issue getting a Adobe Air app to run.

I'm trying to run a app called Finetune, and sense it wouldn't run from shortcut so I copied and paste its command into terminal and it had this to say:
Code:
ME:~$ '/opt/Finetune'/'FinetuneDesktop'/bin/'FinetuneDesktop'
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
The module is installed and for the fun of it I attempted to use getlib on the command (probably did it wrong too):
Code:
ME:~$ getlibs '/opt/Finetune'/'FinetuneDesktop'/bin/'FinetuneDesktop'
This application isn't missing any dependencies
Any thoughts?
I would like to add I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) 64bit and have posted this issue on the Ubuntu Community forums, thus far no luck...Although finetune's site seems to reconize that Finetune Player is installed it just won't launch.

Since this is a development question related to installing software not directly from the App store, I suggest you post this in the developer forum here:https://discussions.apple.com/community/developer_forums

Issues when a cross platform android app is run on Blackberry 10 alpha simulator

I am facing problems in running a cross platform android App in blackberry 10 Alpha simulator.The App works fine when run in iphone,android devices.But when I run it in blackberry 10 it doesn't load the template files hence a blank screen.The project is based on backbone framework hence template files.Currently the files are local in my hard-disk. I am loading the templates using an ajax call. The logcat output generated of the same is listed below:- 02-08 05:30:51.861: D/CordovaLog(233525377): {"readyState":4,"responseText":"","status":404,"statusText":"error"}
I have added in config.xml file . Is there anything else I am missing to make the app run on blackberry 10?? I had the same issue with nook HD which was avoided by using super.appView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true); in the onCreate method.But since blackberry uses 2.3.3 of Android,I am unable to add the same settings. Please let me know If I am missing any specific configuration related content for blackberry 10.Thanks

Hey Steve_web,
This issue can be caused when MAC address filtering is enabled on the Wi-Fi network, and the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook is not accepted. Try adding the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook to the accepted MAC address list for the Wi-Fi network and test.
The following article may be helpful as well:

Problem running AIR app on windows server 2003

Hello,
I have an AIR app that I am trying to run from a Java program under Windows 2003. (It runs perfect on XP and Vista.)
The problem is whenever I try to run the AIR app, it runs "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" which causes the app to not run. And both the process stop responding. I can see them both in Task Manager. I disabled the AIR automatic updates using the Settings Manager application but it still runs the Adobe AIR Updater.exe file.
Any help to resolve this problem would be highly appreciated.

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.

Can't Export Release Build for AIR app...

Flash Builder 4.7 won't let me export a release build for any AIR apps at all...
It started when I wanted to make some changes to an old AIR app. Couldn't even run it in the debugger, so I updated the AIR SDK (using instructions found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html and here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html )
So after doing all that, and making some other changes, I finally got my AIR app to run in the debugger in Flash Builder 4.7. Made the changes I wanted to make, then tried to Export Release Build... Kept giving me a "Password Incorrect for this certificate" error whenever I tried it -- but it would never let me enter a password. I went to Project | Export Release Build, and on the first screen there, I would click "Next" and it would jump straight to compiling, skipping over the screen where you're supposed to be able to enter the certificate info and password.
Figured maybe because it was an old AIR project, that was causing the problem. So I started a brand new AIR project -- very simple one with just a <s:Label> inside a <s:WindowedApplication>. Went to Project | Properties | Flash Builder Packaging and created a brand-new self-signed certificate (which seemed to work) but again upon trying to export the release build, it wouldn't let me get to the screen where you enter the password. Clicking "Next" from the first screen on Project | Export Release Build just jumps straight to compiling and (of course) it gives me the Incorrect Password error, because it never gave me a chance to enter the password.
So what is going on here? Why can I not export any release builds for any AIR projects? This is extremely frustrating -- Flash Builder 4.6 never gave me these kinds of problems. What can I do to fix Flash Builder 4.7 so it will work properly with AIR projects?
Thanks,
L.

Hi,
I think something's wrong with either your FB 4.7 installation, or how you updated the AIR SDK. I just walked through the exact steps you listed (except I already had the AIR SDK overlayed) and I can build a desktop AIR app without issue. I get prompted for the password and everything.
I wish I had a better answer, but I'd suggest uninstalling and re-installing FB 4.7, be sure to remove preferences as well. Then before you update the AIR SDK, try building an AIR app with the base SDK that's included in 4.7. If you can get it to compile and prompt you for the password, then it's the way you overlayed the SDK that's messed something up.
Make sure you download the correct AIR SDK that's specific to Flex. On this download page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html is a reference in small print that says: Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows. Make sure it's that version of the SDK (without the ASC 2.0 compiler). Then try overlaying the SDK again and see if that works.
I can definitely confirm that what you are experiencing isn't the norm, and that you can get the latest AIR SDK to work with FB 4.7
Good luck!

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?

Cant install any AIR apps

I've tried many different things to get AIR apps to run on my
10.5.5 machine including uninstalling and reinstalling AIR,
removing the /var/folders/zz folder, repairing permissions, with no
luck.
Whenever I try to start any AIR app installer I receive the
following message:
The application could not be installed because the AIR file
is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application
author.
Any thoughts on where to go next? Really hoping to avoid
reinstalling the OS.

Desktop AIR app debug build running from cache?

I'm new to flash builder (using 4.5 for os x) and I've been working on a desktop AIR app for the last week. I've been running into a strange issue when deugging my app. Every once and a while (maybe 4-5 times a day) after I make changes to my code and I make a new debug build, a much older version of the app runs when I run the app with or without the debugger, or even if I export for release. It's as though its running (or building) from the cache, except I'm building a desktop app and I'm not testing the swf on a browser. I've turned off "Build Automatically", cleaned the project and build again but no changes are reflected. I can't figure out how, but after cleaning, quitting flash builder, restarting, cleaning, building again, etc.. numerous times suddenly I will see the current version of the app back up and running. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to quickly resolve the issue, or what exactly is fixing it. Every time it seems like something else triggers FB to refresh the build. I can even run the debugger and step through my current code while seeing completely different results on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Anyone know what I may be missing? Are there settings I need to change besides "Build Automatically"? Thanks for your help,
Nick

Thanks for the answer. How exactly Flash Builder is running is a little clearer to me now. I checked and the timestamps were indeed being updated correctly.
This helped me to look elsewhere for the issue. I actually now think it may have to do with mobile home sync that I have going through OS X. Whenever the sync runs, FB seems to launch an outdated (as in hours ago) version of the app. Despite the fact that the sync is not pulling in new files, it seems to be the issue. If i stop the sync I start seeing the current version of the app again when I run the debugger. So I think its just the OS causing my problem (although I still don't completely understand why exactly the issue would manifest itself in FB). Fortunately I can recreate the issue every time I run the sync, so the problem is consistent at least!
Thanks again for your help.

Running previous versions of AIR apps in AIR 2.7.1 runtime

I'm unable to start and run any AIR apps built using previous SDKs in the latest AIR 2.7.1 release. Basically either the application will not start at all or will try and launch the window and close immediately. I'm using Flex 4.5.1 IDE and even updated the AIR SDK to 2.7.1 to build my app, changed the dicriptor version tag to 2.7 in the app.xml file as well but to no avail, Am I missing something or did Adobe drop the ball here!?

I'm running older apps with both 2.7.1 and the AIR 3 rc build. It sounds like you're running into something specific to your system. Do you have an example .air file (or project) you can send me ([email protected]) so I could take a look?
Thanks,
Chris

What are you expecting to display? Is it data? Images?
