Building Air Application in Dreamweaver CC

I need some help on this ASAP.  We were recently upgraded to CC and I need to make edits to an Air based application that we had previously built in Dreamweaver.  Does anyone know how you get it running?!  None of the extensions that I have found in the forums will install and I need to get this working as soon as possible.  Are there any links to a set of instructions?

  • Building HTML Air Application in Dreamweaver CC

    I need some help ASAP.  We were recently switched over to Creative Cloud, and besides many issues we are having with CC that I won't go into here, one thing that is an immediate need is figuring out how to build and publish Air apps?  All fo the extensions that I have found and instructions I have read do nothing to get it working.  I can't even find an air extension from within the extension search/manager within the application itself.  Does anyone have the specific extension as well as directions for getting it running?  It was fine in CS5.X but no love now.  Please help!!

    Yes, why! Why doesn't this post have a clear answer but more importantly why doesn't Adobe have a well-published answer to removing this functionality from products and their future vision/plans for Air?
    To answer your question directly, you're missing what comes before that sentence... "Can I create Adobe AIR applications with Dreamweaver? Yes. Dreamweaver CS5 (and later) provides native support for building and packaging JavaScript/HTML applications on Adobe AIR for the desktop."
    The sentence you refer to is specific to mobile. I'm interested in creating Air apps for desktop directly from DW. It's confusing and misleading (not to mention frustrating) trying to find answers and solutions. Simply saying that this isn't the correct forum isn't helpful. Is there an article that you can point to from here about Adobe's decision to remove Air support?

  • Building AIR Applications with the NetBeans IDE

    Hello Everyone,
    Here's a link to screencast showing you how to Build AIR
    Applications with the NetBeans IDE.

  • AIR Intrinsic Classes-Tried and Proven Approach to building AIR applications   in the Flash CS3 IDE

    Hi everyone,
    For all of you out there who would like to develop AIR
    applications
    from the Flash CS3 IDE but aren't sure how to get those pesky
    intrinsic
    classes working, I have a technique that you can work with to
    create
    your classes and make fully functional AIR applications.
    First of all, those solutions out there that list
    "intrinsic" functions
    in their class definitions won't work. That keyword has been
    taken out
    and simply won't work. The "native" keyword also doesn't work
    because
    Flash will reject it. The solution is to do dynamic name
    resolution at
    runtime to get all the classes you need.
    Here's a sample class that returns references to the "File",
    "FileStream", and "FileMode" classes:
    package com.adobe{
    import flash.utils.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    public class AIR extends MovieClip {
    public static function get File():Class {
    try {
    var classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.File');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get File
    public static function get FileMode():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileMode');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileMode
    public static function get FileStream():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileStream');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileStream
    }//AIR class
    }//com.adobe package
    I've defined the package as com.adobe but you can call it
    whatever you
    like. You do, however, need to import "flash.utils.*" because
    this
    package contains the "getDefinitionByName" method. Here I'm
    also
    extending the MovieClip class so that I can use the extending
    class
    (shown next) as the main Document class in the Flash IDE.
    Again, this is
    entirely up to you. If you have another type of class that
    will extend
    this one, you can have this one extend Sprite, Math, or
    whatever else
    you need (or nothing if it's all the same to you).
    Now, in the extending class, the Document class of the FLA,
    here's the
    class that extends and uses it:
    package {
    import com.adobe.AIR;
    public class airtest extends AIR{
    public function airtest() {
    var field:TextField=new TextField();
    field.autoSize='left';
    this.addChild(field);
    field.text="Fileobject="+File;
    }//constructor
    }//airtest class
    }//package
    Here I'm just showing that the class actually exists but not
    doing much
    with it.
    If you run this in the Flash IDE, the text field will show
    "File
    object=null". This is because in the IDE, there really is no
    File
    object, it only exists when the SWF is running within the
    Integrated
    Runtime. However, when you run the SWF as an AIR application
    (using the
    adl.exe utility that comes with the SDK, for example), the
    text field
    will now show: "File object=[object File]". Using this
    reference, you
    can use all of the File methods directly (have a look here
    for all of
    them:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html).
    For example, you can call:
    var appResource:File=File.applicationResourceDirectory;
    This particular method is static so you don't need an
    instance. If you
    do (such as when Flash tells you the property isn't static),
    simply
    create an instance like this:
    var fileInstace:File=new File();
    fileInstance.someMethod('abc'); //just an example...read the
    reference
    for actual function calls
    Because the getter function in the AIR class returns a Class
    reference,
    it allows you to perform all of these actions directly as
    though the
    File class is part of the built in class structure (which in
    the
    runtime, it is!).
    Using this technique, you can create references to literally
    *ALL* of
    the AIR classes and use them to build your AIR application.
    The beauty
    of this technique is its brevity. When you define the class
    reference,
    all of the methods and properties are automatically
    associated with it
    so you don't need reams of code to define each and every
    item.
    There's a bit more that can be done with this AIR class to
    make it
    friendlier and I'll be extending mine until all the AIR
    classes are
    available. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop me a
    line or drop
    by my site at
    http://www.baynewmedia.com
    where I'll be posting the
    completed class. I may also make it into a component if
    there's enough
    interest. To all of you who knew all this already, I hope I
    didn't waste
    your time.
    Happy coding,
    Patrick

    Wow, you're right. The content simply doesn't show up at all.
    No
    JavaScript or HTML parsing errors, apparently. But no IE7
    content.
    I'll definitely have to look into that. In the meantime, try
    FireFox :)
    I'm trying to develop a panel to output AIR applications from
    within the
    Flash IDE. GSkinner has one but I haven't been able to get it
    to work
    successfully. Mine has exported an AIR app already so that's
    a step in
    the right direction but JSFL is a tricky beast, especially
    when trying
    to integrate it using MMExecute strings.
    But, if you can, create AIR applications by hand. I haven't
    yet seen an
    application that allows you to change every single option
    like you can
    when you update the application.xml file yourself. Also, it's
    a great
    fallback skill to have.
    Let me know if you need some assistance with AIR exports.
    Once you've
    done it a couple of times, it becomes pretty straightforward.

  • Not able to make an air application in dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded the air extension for dreamweaver
    and have installed the runtime also. Whenever I try to make an
    application.xml file, it throws up a dialog box stating that
    "already an air application is running or you are previewing an
    application. Close the application."
    What am I supposed to do?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Gaurav

    Hi Gaurav -
    Sorry for the delayed response; I just noticed this post.
    Can you tell me a bit more?
    1) Is this still happening?
    2) What version of the extension are you running?
    3) What are the exact steps that lead to this error dialog?
    (What do
    mean by "making an application.xml file" --- are you just
    opening the
    AIR Application Settings dialog, entering some details, and
    then hitting
    the Save button?)
    It looks like the error message is actually misleading, but
    I'm trying
    to figure out what the real problem is.

  • Flv video not playing in AIR application

    Hi everybody,
    i'm building a tutorial with flash catalyst and since the 20 states limit i've split it up in different swf files that I import and show in different states.
    One of these swf (which i built with Catalyst as well) is supposed to play a flv video, and it actually plays it if i run it alone.
    The problem comes when i build the overall tutorial: it works perfectly with the "run project" command in Catalyst and with the run-local version but the video won't play if i try the AIR application.
    Does anyone have any suggestion?
    NB: the "asset" directory created with the AIR application installer does contain the flv file (i didn't have to put it there manually)
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Giuseppe

    Hi Giuseppe,
    what I do is:
    1. create a file using Captivate
    2. i place a .flv video in this file
    3. save the file as .swf
    4. then i go to dreamweaver and put the swf on a html page.
    Now:
    when viewed in a browser, everything runs fine.
    when i pack this page into an air application (in dreamweaver) the video does not appear,
    instead I get this "Connection Error"
    I do not know a console or log file.
    However, I learned that there is a .xml file located in the same AIR folder that you publish in.
    In this .xml file there is a setting :transparency. in order to playt a .flv file this must not be be "transparent"!
    (i read this somewhere in the net)
    hope that helps
    I will talk to a professional programmer, if I have any news, i will let you know

  • Modular AIR application

    Hi, all! I'm just learning AIR and I have a question - is it
    possible to create modular application based on AIR? Here under
    "modular application" I mean that - we have a basic application
    which stores it's configuration information in local SQLite db and
    we have some kind of "plugins" - we download it, installs but after
    installation we have this "plugin" functionality in our base
    application, but no the plugin stand alone installed. We can see
    such approach for example when installing FlexBuilder plugin for
    Eclipse. I want to try to realise the same approach in building AIR
    application. Is it possible to achiave this goal?

    It is possible, and even easier in AIR 1.5 and Flex 3.2 than
    in earlier versions.
    The main thing you have to be careful about is security --
    making sure that your plug-ins arrive at the client untainted. You
    can use the AIR XMLSignatureValidator class to help with this
    problem. See
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/xml_signatures.html.
    It covers a couple ways to get a "module" to a client and to verify
    that it hasn't changed since you signed it, but doesn't cover how
    to load the module into your application. There are various ways to
    do this depending on whether you are using Flex, Flash, or
    JavaScript and whether you need to load the modules into the
    application security sandbox or not.

  • Build .air behind HTTP proxy with login/password

    Hello,
    I'made an air application with aptana, bu I can't build my app in a air file.
    I'm behind a proxy with authentication. I'got error during timestamp.
    I try many options, I can't do this air file.
    In another post a find :
    "You need to have a network connection for timestamping to work. If that network connection uses a proxy server, you may also need to set up the JRE to use that proxy (Seehttp://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000020600.xml). "
    But in the JRE option, I can't set a login or passorwd for proxy.
    If I understand my compnany can't build air application ? or there is another soution ?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Were you able to successfully build your AIR app?  It is possible to bypass the timestamp but there are caveats.  Here's what the docs have to say:
    If ADT cannot connect to the time-stamp server, then signing is canceled and no package is produced. Specify -tsa none to disable time-stamping. However, an AIR application packaged without a timestamp ceases to be installable after the signing certificate expires.

  • Consuming toPDFA and isPDFA methods in DOCConverterService in Flex Builder 3.0 AIR Application

    Hi All,
    Does anyone have sample code how to consume and use the Docconverter service from Adobe Livecycle 8.2 ES in Flex Builder 3.0 AIR Application. I want to consume both the methods 1) toPDFA and 2) isPDFA methods to convert a PDF to PDFA and to check the compliance after conversion. If any one could help me in this, would be very grateful.
    Thanks in advance
    Umashanker.K

    I think the problem you are experiencing is this one:
    http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=511
    You probably have Subclipse 1.2.4 installed, which is the
    latest official release. But the new release based on Subversion
    1.5 has been in development for over a year. It will be version
    1.4.0 and probably released next week when Subversion 1.5 is
    released.

  • CS4 or FLEX Builder for AIR Application?

    Hello,
    I have installed CS4 and Flex builder 3. I would like to develop some desktop applications, which is the best editor to develop AIR application?
    Thank you

    I faced a similar choice recently: Flash or Flex for developing CS4 panels.
    John Nack advised me to use Flex Builder. He was right. For a desktop AIR application or something like CS4 panels, the Flex Builder IDE is more powerful and helpful. If you're a developer familiar with other programming tool IDEs, like Microsoft Visual Studio, various Java IDEs, etc. then you will find the Flx Builder IDE to be more intuitive.
    Flash is a good choice for developing animated SWF panels that are driving things like Flash movies. If you use Flash, you'll have to deal with the Timeline. With Flex Builder, you don't.
    They both provide access to Action Script. But they expose functionality differently. Also, Flex Builder provides some data visualization tools, etc. that are not part of Flash.

  • What Runtime is Flash Builder using when running or debugging an AIR application?

    I just updated my AIR runtime to 3.0 and noticed that my AIR application doesn't work anymore (my logfile reports an Uncaught Error #1508). So I tried to debug it with Flash Builder, but when I run it there, everything works just fine. So I uninstalled the AIR runtime completely but noticed that I can execute my AIR app within Flash Builder still just fine. So the AIR runtime used within Flash Builder seems to be a different one than the systemwide installed AIR runtime. How Do I chose within Flash Builder which runtime to use and how do I update this runtime?

    When you use Flash Builder, it uses the copy of the AIR SDK that is inside the Flex SDK. This has a complete AIR runtime that is used for debugging. You can choose which AIR runtime to use by switching to a Flex SDK that has a different version of AIR. You can update any Flex SDK by copying the new AIR SDK into it, replacing any existing AIR files. (On a Mac there are some gotcha's here because copied folders are replaced not combined.)
