Hi,
Can we automate the AIR applciation as well, with this PDF Test toolkit. Please let me know we can automate with this.
Thanks,

I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say: You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525

I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Question:- How to update the Adobe Air Application Version.?

Question:- How to update the Adobe Air Application Version.?

Change the namespace declaration in the application descriptor.
For example, to update version 1.0 to 1.5, change:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0." ...
to:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"

Synchronizing the Adobe Air application with the remote server daily

I am building a desktop application which is built in Adobe
Air using FlexBuilder3. I want my application to connect to remote
server daily at a particular time on a day and check for updates
and download them, irrespective of whether the application window
is active or it is closed.
I know how to acheive this, if the application window is
active(window is open) by setting a Timer function , but the
applcation runs into problems if the window is closed and cannot be
connected to server to check for updates.
Can I make the code work(timer function) even when the window
is closed in the background process?
Please help me out in acheiving this, I will be very
grateful....

Bump. Wondering about this too.

Can developers distribute the Adobe AIR installer with their desktop applications?

Yes. In addition to creating and distributing cross-platform Adobe AIR application installer files, it is possible for developers to write their own custom native installers that install Adobe AIR and the Adobe AIR application.
In order to do this, developers must first apply for and receive a free http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.

I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review. In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.
Thanks,

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

Visit A Website Behind The Scenes In Adobe Air Application...

Hi all,
I am needing to find a way in Actionscript 3 for a Adobe Air application to visit a website url (ex. example.com) in the background without Adobe Air opening up a web browser.
After the website has loaded in the background, I would like to get all the URL link that the Adobe Air application may see. For example, maybe when you visit "example.com" it redirects you to "google.com", so I want my application to send me back whatever URL it sees after it loads the page.
Can this be done, and is there any sample code anywhere?
Thanks guys!

I think you can get the information you want by using URLLoader with a listener for HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS and check the responseHeaders and responseURL properties:

Need better alternative to Adobe AIR Application Installer

In order to build a double-clickable desktop application,
apparently one has to use the Adobe AIR Application Installer. This
is bad for a few reasons:
It's not scriptable.
It hard-wires the name of the swf file to load into the
generated binary.
For Mac OS X, the "swf launcher" should be a simple "launcher
stub". The name of the swf file to load should be read from the
Info.plist file. If it did this, then the stub could be the same
for all applications. For Windows, there could be a simple XML
config file in the same directory as the app that serves the same
purpose as Info.plist on the Mac.
I hope Adobe addresses this soon.

get two dock icons.
This doesn't address the need to have a non-GUI alternative to
the Air Application Installer so builds can be completely
automated.
It definitely breaks the drag-and-drop of a file onto the
application's icon.
I never said I have 2 Dock icons. (I already solved that
problem by making the server "faceless" by setting LSUIElement to 1
in the server's Info.plist.)
Why do I want completely automated builds? Aside from the
ease of just being able to type "ant" and press Return, any real
development group has things such that a "build machine"
automatically rebuilds the app (on all platforms) after ever
developer check-in to check for accidental build breakage. Those
builds also become available to QA for them to test.
Ever time some new development tool comes out where the
authors provide a GUI tool (presumably because they think GUI =
easy), I have to wonder, "What were they thinking?" If the authors
are themselves developers, how can they not see how crippling not
providing an all-command-line tool-chain is? Don't all non-trivial
development groups do automated builds as described above? The only
answer I can think of is that some
PHB
somewhere thought it would be a "neat idea" to have an
"easy-to-use" GUI application (because that sells to other PHBs).
As to drag-and-drop: presumably, the swf launcher that gets
generated properly handles drag-and-drop of files onto the
application's icon and Does The Right Thing when it happens (where
"right thing" usually means simply opening the document dropped
onto the icon). Now, since my launcher gets launched instead, that
breaks drag-and-drop unless I implement that functionality myself.
The way I've implemented my launcher is such that, after the
fork(), it's the parent process that exec's itself into the client
thus keeping the original process ID. The hope is that Launch
Services on the Mac, when handling and drag-and-drop event, will
send said event to the original process -- which is now the client
-- and everything Just Works. I have yet to get around to testing
this (I'm busy with other things at the moment); but, if it turns
out that my hope isn't fulfilled, well then I can fall back to
keeping my launcher running to get and forward the OpenDoc
AppleEvents from my launcher to the swf launcher.
So, anyway, back to my original plea: Adobe,
please just give us a command-line replacement for the Air
Application Installer (preferably just a launcher stub that reads
Info.plist). Thanks.

Adobe AIR Application won't install

Also, tried reinistalling latest version of Adobe AIR but a message appears saying that the latest version of Adobe AIR is already installed, even though I thought I had unistalled it with the help of Microsoft Fix it (i.e. it no longer appeared in the least of programs installed on the computer).
I am using a Samsung laptop with Windows 7.
Following my latest attempt to install the application, I located the Adobe AIR log:

Please note that I managed to resolve this myself by first of all deleting the Adobe AIR folder contained within C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files of my hard drive and then re-attempting the Adobe Air application installation. This immediately caused a prompting of an update to Adobe AIR, which I ran. It seems that the Adobe AIR application installation package contained an older version of Adobe AIR than was already installed within the 'Common Files' folder, and this apparently led to the error (sorry, I cannot explain it any more technical terms than that!).

Adobe AIR Application Distribution

I have a client that requested me to do them a CD application
which I am thinking of using Adobe AIR.
Does the distribution license allow Adobe AIR applications
made using Flex or Flash be published through CD-roms and for
downloads? Are there any implications for this?
Also, does the license allow if say Adobe AIR player is put
together with the Adobe AIR application into a CD for distribution
so that if a computer does not have Adobe AIR player to install the
AIR application, he/she can install the player directly from the CD
without going to the Internet?

AIR does not support running applications from a CD-ROM;
that's both a technical and a licensing limitation.
You can redistribute both AIR and your application via
CD-ROM, thus enabling off-line install, if you agree to a
redistribution license. See
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
for details.

Adobe AIR Application Installer command-line

Could someone provide the command-line reference (parameters
and usage) for Adobe AIR Application Installer?
Tks!

Hey Oliver!
I've applied for an AIR distribution license but I still have
some doubts.
My application is based in one .air component and another one
service created using C++. So, in order to install my application,
I need to install both applications. I've used the bundled
installation mentioned in the distribution docs, but it is not the
best solution for my problem. I would like to have just one entry
point in the “Add/Remove Programs” applet.
Is there another way to deliver the .air application (e.g.
not using the Adobe AIR Application Installer)?
For example, is it possible get all files needed to create my
.air file and install them without creating the .air file properly?
I mean, is there any license or technical restrictions that
invalidate this approach?
Thanks!

All Adobe AIR Applications stopped function today, what happened?

I'm running OS X 10.6.3, all of my Adobe AIR applications stopped functioning today.
Here is a list of all the Adobe AIR applications that I use...

I have changed absolutely nothing with any of these apps, or Adobe AIR in a very long time... I actually haven't even installed anything to my knowledge in a few weeks.
I have tried reinstalling all of these apps, reinstalling Adobe AIR... everything. I've tried everything.
Can anyone assist me in figuring out what is wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

I just put those commands through terminal and here is what I got...

Memory Foot Print OF Adobe Air Application

I have to create adobe air application for peer to peer application which will be run on (gateway)embedded Linux.
The problem is memory in the device is very low <= 2 mb.
I wanted know what is the memory foot print of the adobe air application if the code size is 200kb.

Hi, here is an update to my problem.
After enabling legacy CAS policy in my configuration file, the memory is released immediately!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<legacyCasPolicy enabled="true" />
</runtime>
</configuration>
I am still hoping to receive feedback about the problem. What is going on? Is this the right solution? Will it work in the future?
Is it because our project has to run only as a 32-bit process?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jon,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, the AIR team is aware of this issue on Ubuntu. And we are looking into this.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/
