Creating User Alias in Flash Air Application

I am trying to create an Flash Air application whereby users
are able to change their user alias on the application anytime they
want. This will be saved and when users sign in the application
again, it will show the "new" user alias instead of the previous
one.
Image can be seen below:
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z63/nellehs/AirBiff/1copy.jpg
As you can seen in the red box, that is the user alias. Users
is to clicked on the name and they could just change it straight
away. To confirm it, just press the "Enter" button. It works
somehow like MSN. I tired to search for many tutorials online
however there weren't much. Hope you guys can guide me along as I
am still new to Actionscript 3 plus AIR. Thank you so much.

Calling a created Java file from an AIR application

I've got a guy helping me out who is creating a Java file that outputs an F1 keypress to the operating system/desktop (which Flex alone can't do.
My problem is I need to know how I can call/activate this file from within an AIR application. I want my app to be ready for when he has created it for me but I've never used Flex to call an application so I would not know what classes need to be called or if any script would be required.
In the following simple code lets say if the Java file itself was called keypress.java (or whatever file extension a java file has) what code would need to be added in, including imported classes, to make the click of the button activate this java file?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Button id="KeypressButton" label="Button" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" click=""/>
</mx:WindowedApplication>

I think one solution is to use a Java proxy to call the Web services.
In the Java proxy you can have a method that accepts the user/pass and sets them correctly for the Web service.
Then you expose that Java proxy as a data control (right click, create data control) - and then create a page that invokes that method.
(For the basics of working with a POJO data control see: http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2009/07/java_class_data_control_and_ad.html )

After creating an alias, the App Store application has disappeared from the Launchpad. Huh?!

So, I opened the Applications folder, then selected the App Store application and created an alias of it.
Now, when I activate the Launchpad the original app is nowhere to be found. The alias is there, but the application proper is not displayed.
It IS displayed (as well as the alias) in the Applications folder when I open that in the Finder.
I have no idea how to remedy this. Logging out and back in is fruitless. And a reboot makes no difference.
Any ideas, please? Any one? Bueller? ;-)

Yes. The alias works. And the App Store application (which is still in the Applications folder) also works.
Interestingly, I just tried a similar thing with the Adobe Reader app...created an alias of the application in the Applications folder. The same thing happened. The Adobe application disappeared from the Launchpad, replaced by the working alias. The fix for that was to delete the alias from the Applications folder. Then copy the Adobe app onto the desktop and finally copy it back into the Applications folder, answering "Replace" the original when prompted.
Of course, when attempting to copy the App Store app back into the Applications folder, the process cannot be completed because the OS says... “App Store” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X."

Can worker created/packaged/executed into a Air application use Air features(like File?

Hello,
I have compiled "successfully" a Worker swf that uses some Air classes (like File, FileStream etc).
Then i have embedded it into an AIR desktop application, but when i execute the application (with ADL or even installing and then executing it),
i receive a Security Error from the worker, like if it's context doesn't support that type of operations. Is it correct?
Can't workers use Air features like file write/access even if they are embedded in a Desktop Air Application?
It means that can't workers open o write a file in every scenarios?
Thank you
Daniele

Any pointers on implementing user authentication in Adobe AIR application ?

Hello
I am using an AIR 3.0 to create my client that connects to my server LCDS application that uses oracle XE database. I now need to implement the user authentication & access controls to GUI screens. Any pointers that show best practices in this regard or get me started...
thanks
RK

You can use the mechanisms built into the AMF protocol, or manage the session manually by passing around an authentication token generated on the server.
Here is some basic info on AMF sessions: http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/blazeds_devguide/help.html?content=services_security_5 .html
It's written for BlazeDS, but the principal is the same.

Option to not create a shortcut when installing an AIR application

Hello Adobe AIR community,
Does anyone know if there is an option to not create a shortcut for an AIR application?
Currently, all I have found is an option to choose the location of the shortcut from within the start menu (in the application descriptor file, using the programMenuFolder option).
Thanks,
Mauricio

I figured it out. The AIR installer was stripping out my query parameters. I made the URL use slashes for the parameters with a rewrite instead of ? and & it worked.

Using NSIS to install an AIR application

Can I use NSIS to create an installer for an AIR application? I won't be distributing the application.air file, instead I will be distributing the unpacked/installed application files that are generated by the application.air file. I believe Adobe has no legal right to the unpacked/installed application files therefor Adobe can't dictate how those files are distributed, but I need that confirmed if possible.
The default AIR installer looks very intimidating to end-users due to the design and the "this app will kill your computer and then kill you" messages, and I really don't want end-users to be put off by it, nor am I going to pay for a code-signing certificate when the application itself is free of charge. Adobe really need to take another look at the way AIR applications are installed, the current process/design is a joke.

I would be very interested to know if you had any luck using NSIS to install your AIR application. I have hit a roadblock using Adobe's sidecar installer because my AIR file is too big. I'm looking at having to split out the content so that my AIR file is small, and then install the content separately. However, I need to install the content to app://, not app-storage:// so that all users can use the application. I'm finding this difficult with Installshield Express, so I'm now attempting to do it with NSIS.

Flash AIR Make Linux/Ubuntu Shell Commands?

What is the AS3 commands that makes it possible for my flash air application to make shell calls in Ubuntu Linux? I'd like my AIR app to eg. start programs or open folders.

This will be supported in AIR 2.0 (which is being announced today).

Create system alias (Mac) or shortcut (Windows)

Hi,
is there any way to create such "files" from an Air Application ?
I think there's no API able to do this. But maybe is it possible using raw binary data writing ?
Thank you.

How did you remove Windows 7? If you did not use Boot Camp Assistant you have messed up your drive and will have to start over by erasing and formatting your drive then reinstall OSx and and Windows 8.

Flash air desktop application

Hello there,
We developed an application.
The window of our application cannot be maximize after it is install on our desktop.
How could we get this fonctionnality?
Please help.
Many thanks

Are you saying that it is possible to get this fonctionality (maximise
without stretching) when using flash air desktop application?
Yes, you can maximize a window without distorting the contents. When using Flash, the stage scale mode defaults to one of the scaling modes. For your app it sounds like you should set the scale mode to the "noScale" option.
If yes, Do you recommend the utilization of aire for the distribution of our
application?
I don't know enough about your application to make any kind of recommendation, and anyway my opinion might be biased since I am an Adobe employee.
Also could you recommend us a way for limiting the illegal distribution?
I don't think there is a fool proof way to do it (in general DRM is a race between the publishers and the hackers). Adobe doean't provide any tools for this. Presumably, there are 3rd party tools for application DRM that you could use (but that's outside my area of expertise).
For a homegrown approach to the problem, you could require that users of your application create a user account on your web site and download a license file in order to run the application. This isn't perfect, because someone could hack your application to remove the check for the license, but it would prevent casual copying.

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.

How to create paging in air application

hi ,
I have created an air application which takes the data from a feed.
I ve to create paging for my Richtext which wiil hold the description of my image.i took the length of the description from the feed using substring
using the following code
var description:String=event.result.rss.channel.item.description;
                if(description.length > 2000)
                    des1inner.text = description.substring(0,2000);
                else if(description.length <= 2000)
                        des1inner.text = description;
i need to display the remaining description using pagination. .can any one give solution for this?????????????

The SQL statement results in a SQLResult object that you can
get from the SQLConnection object using getResult().
For example, if I create and execute the following
SQLStatement against a SQLConnection object referenced by
connection:
var getAllQuery:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
getAllQuery.text = "SELECT * FROM foo;";
getAllQuery.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, setData);
getAllQuery.sqlConnection = connection;
getAllQuery.execute();
Then, the setData() event handler is called in response to
the completion of the query:
private function setData(event:SQLEvent):void{
tableView.dataProvider = event.target.getResult().data;
In this example, event.target is the SQLConnection object for
the database. The handler calls the getResult() function to get the
most recent result. The function sets the dataProvider property of
the following DataGrid component to the result data property. This
results in the SQL results being displayed in the DataGrid.
The definition of the DataGrid is (although only the id is
really significant to this example):
<mx:DataGrid id="tableView" top="0" bottom="0" right="0"
width="100%" height="100%">
</mx:DataGrid>
If you have a lot of queries that may be returned in
non-determinate order, then you can use a Responder object to deal
with each query as it is produced, rather than just getting the
most recent result with getResult().
Edit: I just noticed that you are using HTML. The basics are
still the same, but of course, you can't use the DataGrid. You will
have to consume the SQLResult object and insert the appropriate
data into your HTML objects. See
http://livedocs.adobe.com/air/1/jslr/flash/data/SQLResult.html

User to User file transfer via FMS or RED5 in AIR application.

Hello!

I think need to create like byte array streaming or somethink like this from sender and write the destination file on receiver user pc.
Someone know how to do this? It is possible?
Thanks.

Search more on socket class you can send anything between two machines using them
see the code snippet below:
sc = new Socket("<IP address>",8000);
sc.connect("<IP address>",8000);
sc.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, readFromServer);
sc.writeUTFBytes("Hi this will be sent to the IP address provided by you on port no 8000!\n");
sc.flush();

Does Air applications Require Flash Player?

Well, this question may sound stupid but please help me out with my basic doubt. Does those applications created in Flex (as AIR application) require Flash Player at the client side or just installing AIR at the client side will do?

No, Just AIR runtime is enough. Air application will use the airglobal.swc for compile.
