Drag Email into Air Application

Can someone tell me if it is possible to drag an email
message from Outlook or other desktop email clients into an AIR
application, and have the application read the contents?

AIR can get text, html, bitmaps, and file handles through
drag and drop. If the e-mail client puts the e-mail into one of
those formats, then an AIR application can recieve it. Otherwise,
it can't.

  • Can't drag/copy attachments from Outlook into AIR application

    I need to either drag or copy a file from an email in Outlook and then drop/paste it into my AIR application. I can do this with say Outlook and Windows Desktop no problem, but when it comes to AIR it doesn't work. The Clipboard.getData() method returns null when the "paste" event is triggered.

    I might be wrong, but ...
    I know Microsoft Office 2011 is Mountain Lion compatible.  In fact, Microsoft released updates to it right around the time of Mountain Lion's release to assure compatibility.
    I do not believe Microsoft Office 2008 is Mountain Lion compatible.

  • [Flex 4] Can't Set Drag indicator in Air Application

  • Import Remote Plugin / Module into AIR application

    Hello!
    I want to run remote code in my AIR application within the same security sandbox. I found this article http://blogs.adobe.com/emalasky/2008/04/remote_plugins.html which describes quite shallow how to do it:
    So to pull this content in safely, you need to prove that you can trust it. Given the ease of remote attacks (DNS hacks; man-in-the-middle attacks; owning up the “trusted” server; etc), imported modules must be signed, and the signature must be verified before loading the content.
    First, sign your modules. I’m pretty sure you can just use adt for this, then rip the signatures.xml out of META-INF. Then post the modules and signatures.xml
    When you download the modules, save them and signatures.xml somewhere in app-storage:/
    Use the XMLSignatureValidator class to validate that you downloaded modules that really were signed by you (or some known entity).
    Import the modules into your application sandbox. For SWF, use Loader.loadBytes(), pass a LoaderContext with allowLoadBytesCodeExecution=true. I doubt anyone will do *that* by accident. 
    My questions:
    1.: is this still the way to go in AIR 2.7?
    2.: The explanation is very shallow.. could someone explian a bit more indepth how to do this and what steps are required? Or maybe someone knows a good tutorial?
    Thanks!

    Hello!
    Thank you for that great article!
    Based on this and your code example I added the signature checking to my application in the following way. Could you please tell me whether this is correct and secure?
    1.
    I load the signatures.xml from the remote update package aswell as the signatures.xml from "app:/META-INF/signatures.xml" (signature file from locally installed air file).
    Then i continue to process the file only if (remoteXmlSig..signatureNS::X509Certificate == localXmlSig..signatureNS::X509Certificate) since I only want to allow plugins that were signed with the same certificate as the installed air application.
    2. I run your validation code but with
    verifier.useSystemTrustStore = false;
    3.
    in the "verifyManifest" function I add every file that was successfully validated into an array
    4.
    in the end I use only the files within this array to update my application.
    Is that correct?
    Thank you!

  • How do I stop the "drag firefox into the applications folder" dialog box from opening every time I open Firefox on my iMac?

    When I installed Firefox on my iMac, a dialog box appeared telling me to drag the Firefox logo into the Applications folder, which I did. Firefox works fine, but every time I open it this dialog box opens before Firefox does, and I have to close it out. This is irritating. How can I stop it from opening again?

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

  • Excel Sheet Drag & Drop into Java Application Q

    New to this forum. Have a question regarding the ability to drag and drop an Excel Sheet from an open Excel file onto a Java application. A friend has been able to drag and drop an Excel file from Windows Explorer onto a Java application and then read the sheets to select what you want and display/use the information in a particular sheet, I'd like to take it a step further to so that the user has the ability to be working in Excel and then drag and drop individual sheets into a Java application as they desire. Is this latter option possible?

  • I've downloaded Firefox 5 and dragged it into by applications folder on my MAC. However, when I go to "About Firefox" it still shows version 4.0.1. What am I doing wrong?

    No more details.

    Try to drag the Firefox 4.0.1 version to the trash before installing the Firefox 5.0.1 version
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • How do I file email into folders?

    Hi,
    How do I create and file emails into folders?
    I've created a "Smart Mailbox" (whatever that is, lol) and tried to drag emails into that folder but it doesn't work. When I click on the email and want to move it, nothing shows up to move it to: including the smart mailbox that was created.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lee

    j.v. wrote:
    it is creating an alias in that smart mailbox
    I have heard this statement before, but it is not true. A message in a Smart Mailbox (or a file in a Smart Folder in the Finder) is not an alias. It is simply the same original in a different context.
    An alias, in Mac OS terminology, is a separate and distinct file from the original. It is a file whose property is that, when opened, it redirects and opens a different file (the "original"). But the alias itself is a distinct file. It can be renamed, moved, deleted, labeled, etc., without having any effect on the original. None of this is true of the "contents" of a Smart Mailbox/Folder. If you delete a message in a Smart Mailbox, you are deleting the original message. If you drag the message to a (non-Smart) Mailbox, you are moving the original. Some people seem to be confused that a message (or file) can appear to be in more than one place at a time. It is, nevertheless, the exact same message, and misunderstanding this point could have unfortunate consequences.

  • Trouble dragging emails to folder in Mail app after snow leopard upgrade.

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, the mac mail app is not dragging emails into a folder (mailbox) the same as it was before. If I select multiple images, then drag them into a folder, it leaves some of them out, and only drags some of them, so I have to go back and find reselect the images it didn't move and drag them into the folder again.
    It doesn't always happen, but I find it happens most of the time. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

    Same issue here. Specifically, it seems to be an issue when the emails aren't all right next to each other.
    I thought 10.6.2 would fix it, but no such luck.

  • Drag and drop file into Outlook from AIR application

    I am hoping to see if this would be possible with the Adobe AIR API. We currently have a desktop AIR application that clients install in order to facilitate certain operations triggered via a web application (such as opening files directly from the web).
    One of the actions we are requested to support is the ability to drag and drop files from our web application directly into Outlook and have the file added as an attachment. I saw the documentation at Adobe Flash Platform * Dropping file promises and was wondering if this might be a possibility, or if there was some other method of performing this.
    We are trying to get around the fact that users now have to download a document to their desktop before being able to attach in Outlook.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    You just aren't calling the right NativeDragManager functions. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d83.html

  • Help need in drag drop operation in AIR application

    I would like to know if there is a way to drag and drop an attachment file from an desktop mail client application(similar to MSoutlook)  into an AIR application and make it accessible to the AIR application.
    I did experiments with this the drag operation and its giving AIR a File Promise List format as its file type.
    But I'm not exactly sure how to make use of it once it is dropped. The examples in web explains how to manupilate File Promises list format from an AIR application to the desktop.
    There is not much explainations about droping a file promise list format into an AIR app. your valuable help will be greatly appreciated.

    Dear all,
    Is the above mentioned task feasible or not?.If not do mention any other way for implementing this functionality or close to it.
    Thanks

  • AIR application object - mouse drag problem

    Hi,
    We face the following problem. Attached herewith are code sample and simulation for the problem. Would be great if someone could help us.
    Problem: Objects created in AIR application experience mouse drag problem.
    To simulate the problem please execute the  sample application, a grey box (object) appears on the screen. Hold down left and right mouse buttons and drag the object and release both the mouse buttons. Object sticks to mouse pointer and moves along with mouse pointer to wherever it is dragged.
    Steps to Reproduce  - Hold down left and right mouse buttons and drag the object and later release both the mouse buttons. Notice Object sticks to mouse pointer and moves along with mouse pointer to wherever it is dragged. Object stops to move along with mouse pointer after sometime, then move the mouse pointer to the object and see that it sticks to pointer again and gets dragged along with the pointer.
    Actual Result - Object sticks to mouse pointer and moves along with mouse pointer to wherever it is dragged.
    Expected Result - Object should not stick to mouse pointer even after the mouse buttons are released.
    Due to problems with uploading the attachment here, please send a email to the following email-id ([email protected]) and I shall send the attachment in response.
    Thanks in advance.

    After some research, it seems this problem has been there for years with Bootcamp.  Hope Apple can develop a better touchpad driver soon.

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • How can I copy and paste quoted emails from Apple Mail v4.5 into another application?

    Hi,
    Having just moved from Entourage to Apple Mail on an Exchange back-end, everything is running smoothly except for one thing - when I copy emails that include quotes from replies (i.e. those coloured vertical lines down the left of the message) and paste them into other applications (Word, TextEdit, etc.) these indentations are not preserved, and instead each line starts at the left margin. This makes following interleaved conversations in the pasted document very difficult. It's as though Mail allows me to copy the view onto the message, rather than the source of the message (I believe that Mail simply reinterprets the '>' quote indentations for presentation, but retains these in the stored message).
    How can I restore copying of quote indentation in Apple Mail for pasting in other documents?
    CT

    You will need Pages or a sjmilar word processing program for this, TextEdit doesn't appear to be capable. Using Pages:
    Open your message. From the 'View' Menu choose "Message>Raw Source'.
    Copy the body of the message.
    Paste into a Pages Word Processing blank template.
    Open Find, click 'Advanced'.
    Set 'Find' to '>' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to tab (select from the 'Insert' drop-down menu)
    Click 'Replace All'.
    Set 'Find' to '=20' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to a single space.
    Click 'Replace all'.
    Obviously this will lose the colours which identify the level of quotes but you will have the indentation.
