Evaluating Adobe AIR with RoboHelp

I'm a former RoboHelp 7 user, and am evaluating RoboHelp 8 for a new employer. I downloaded the app and it appears that Adobe has fixed many of the problems that gave me so much grief in version 7.
Now, I'd like to try out Adobe AIR. I installed it, and am looking for a way to "publish" or convert my RoboHelp output (WebHelp) into AIR format. An article on the Adobe web site lists three ways of starting the app, but none appear to be available to me. The app is not present in my Program files on the Start menu, nor is is available in the toolbox withing RoboHelp.
Can anyone tell me how to find the installed app? Maybe I did not succeed in installing it, although it appears when I view Add/Remove Programs.

Hello again
I'm confused. Certainly with RoboHelp 7 it was an additional component you added later and launched separately, so it seems to make sense that it would be there for version 7. But version 8 includes it as a single source layout directly within the application. Why would you need it in the Toolbox if it is a layout?
Cheers... Rick

Adobe air with flex, file new, open and save for Desktop software program

I already have a headache from all the searching. I cannot believe this to be such a confusing topic as every software program we create must be able to save user input, right.
Here is the problem:
Novel writing software program Main window has tabnavigator with four navigatorcontent pages 1. characters, 2. worlds, 3. objects, 4. Editor
Each navigatorcontent page has user input fields in the form of textinput component, textarea component, richtexteditor component, etc.
problem 1:
The user needs to be able to open a new project and give it a name and state where it must be saved. All user input in the Novel writing software program must be attached to the file name the user specified - cannot give sample code cause I don't even know where to start looking anymore.
Problem 2:
If the user has now defined a new project name, all his input from the different input components has to be compiled into a single file that can be saved. (Dan Pichelman gave me a satisfactory answer on using the file.borwseforsave funtion.) That makes sense, but I first need to get all the user input into that single file. I was convinced that it must be an xml file and that there would be a guide on how to do this but...
Problem 3:
This brings me to another problem. All the pages I've researched so far tell me how to load data from an xml file into a component, but not how to write the text from the component into the xml file. And this xml file cannot be the prefs file in the storage directory, it has to be named by the user and then after filling in all his text in the different tabs of the software, must be saved in this xml file and saved where the user chooses.
Problem 4:
now that the user put in his text and it is written to an xml file that he has named and set the path to, he goes on vacation and in two weeks opens his saved file to work on his project again. All the data that was stored in the xml must now be written back into the different user input components so he can continue working on his project, truth be told, there are some samles and tutorials on this subject, but again from only a single page perspective not a multiple tab perspective.
Problem 5:
Now the user has deleted and/or changed some text he put in when he started, he wrote some more text in the textareas and texteditor and he clicks the file - save button. The xml file or whatever needs to be used must be updated and saved with all the changes overwriting the old file.
Problem 6:
The data entered by the user will end up being a book of say 400 pages. This data will obviously be mostly in the richtexteditor component, so whatever method of saving is used, database or xml or whatever, needs to be able to contain all this data.
Thought, if you are working with for instance, microsoft powerpoint, it has multiple pages all containing different user inputs and when you click flie - save, it saves all that input into one file. When I as a user opens that saved file it loads all that content back into its place and I can change and manipulate the input and save it again. I would have thought this would be one of the first things adobe or any other software would teach as this is what sofware programs are all about. But alas, the tutorials on this subject for adobe air for Desktop application is extreeeeemely rare.
My promise is, if someone can help me with this or there is a tutorial out there that covers this properly I will write a tutorial on this for other newbies as I progress step by step.
Pleeeeeeease help this ignorant novice
Regards

to save a file you would do something like:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter( fileName );
textComponent.write( fw );
fw.close();See the JFileChoose API for filtering files by extension. The API gives an example.

Adobe air with premiere pro cloud

I downloaded premiere pro via cloud. When I click on help it says I need adobe air. I already had it on my machine. But I went to the referred adobe site anyway thinking that it would be a different file, etc. I could not make heads nor tails of the air site on adobe.
What I'm looking for is how to get the "link" command to link my files. It used to be part of the project, right click menu. But it's not there anymore. So I went to help and the above happened. Can any one help me with these two problems???

Do you have a clip selected? Link Media won't be available unless a clip is selected first.

Hi,
I am trying to build a simple chat service using Adobe Flash Builder target for desktop AIR( my final objective is to port it to android). My adobe AIR version is 2.5.0 and below is my source code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

Basically when i debug it with AIR, the chat is working properly but the webcam and whiteboard just don't work....I really don't know what's wrong with it already...Appreciate it if anyone can help,thanks!!

Hi,
My take is , is your autopromote tuned on for the room. I mean whats
your user role when an user enters the room(who is not host), is it 10
or 50. If its 10 i.e. viewer , then he cant use his own cam etc. You
need to take a look at the logs when an user enters and if its 10 and
you want to give him these permissions, turn autopromote on from the
devconsole for the room to make his role 50 i.e. publisher.
I just now downloaded 2.5.1 AIR and created a new project with your
source and I am able to use everything.
Thanks

Can't install Adobe Air with Safari

I'm using Adobe Air 1.5 with Safari 4.0.3 on Mac OS Snow Leopard. When the browser attempts to download the Air file, binary code is displayed in the browser instead of downloading the Air application. Firefox has no problems downloading this Air application for either the Mac or the PC.
Thanks, Norman

I ran across a suggestion here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403150.html that sent me to a Microsoft fix here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en-us. That seemed install. It seems to run Adobe Air Launchpad. That's all I know so far. Still learning all this.

Packaging adobe air with android app in flash cs5

Hi,
I have developed a very simple app in flash cs5 and am ready to upload it to android market. However, users need adobe air to run it. Does anyone know if there is some way to package the app with air? I want to make it as easy as possible for people to run the app. Users will be prompted to download air and I can put this information on the apps page on android market but if there is some way to iclude this in the apk I'd love to know. Can't seem to find information on it on the web.
Thanks

Hum, thought so. Usually if there seems to be no answer to something on the web it's not possible!! Thanks.

Hi,
i have to install some programms wich needs Adobe Air.
To provide problems with other Adobe programms i have to know
wich Adobe Programs installs Adobe Air by itselves.
Is there a list or something?
Thanks

The AIR runtime will prompt for updates with any and all applications that use the stand alone runtime if an update is available. However, this shouldn't be a problem, as newer versions of the runtime are backwards compatible. If you'd like to make sure that your AIR app is always using AIR 3.2, I'd suggest utilizing a captive runtime.

Why Do I Need Adobe Air with Acrobat 10?

I have Acrobat 10 Standard on my PC. Why do I need Adobe Air software installed?

You don't need Adobe AIR to be present on your machine for Acrobat to run.
There might be some AIR application installed on your machine (as MichaelKazlow has suggested.)

How to print from Adobe AIR with on the iPad?

Is it possible to print from an Adobe AIR app on the iPad? I've searched and I know PrintJob won't work. Is there another way to print? I'm developing in Flash CS5.5 and have Flash web app that already prints using PrintJob.

Has anyone seen an example of how to create one for printing? I need this functionality for Android and iOS.

It's possible to make an adobe air with a php files to save data?

Hi,
I would to make a standalone version with Flash Adobe CS3.
How is it possible to make that? A other question, I have a php file to save the data from the user's answer, how is it possible to integrate this file to the air program?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english.

If you know where the page is at, I myself don't see any reason why you can't access it.
The only thing I could think was if Livejournal.com had a lock on the page or if you had to sign-in and your u/n and p/w had expired.
I'd say go ahead and at least try.
