Extracting files from AIR package

Hi all
I have been tasked with developing an "selective update"
system for one of our FLEX AIR applications.
We have a lot of data (swfs, excel spreadsheets, pdfs etc)
that we update reguarly, and to save the user time and trouble of
downloading and installing the complete package every time there is
a new release, they want to be able to only download and install
the updated files.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Also, as we are now
unable to write to the applicationresourcedirectory, how can I
(assuming the first request is possible) extract the files to a new
location (applicationstoragedirectory) and run them from there?
Many thanks for any help you can provide.
Matt

Hi TheDude7563
Thank you for your reply.
We have a working update function in place. The application
has been running for months now, (on v39 currently).
As for the manual transfer, I assume that the actual air file
would still have to be downloaded from the server and unpacked? If
this is the case, what (if any) benefits are there to creating a
selective download as opposed to installing/updating the
application if the .air file has already been downloaded onto the
user's pc?
Many, many thanks,
Matt

"An error occurred while extracting files from the package "BaseSystem.pkg".

Hello!
I have a
MacBookPro5,5
Prozessortyp:Intel Core 2 Duo
Prozessorgeschwindigkeit:2.26 GHz

Problem:
I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine for a month. To free up disk space I deleted some of the iPhoto flders (modfied and original images). Everything worked still fine. Shut down the computer. Next day it was incredibly slow. At the same time the indexing was running. I stopped indexing, but stll slow. Every operation took minutes. I tried all the tricks that I found in the internet (repaired file permissions, repaired disk, cleared PRAM , moved big filed from desktop, etc.). After 24 full hours of trying all this I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall, directly from the Snow Leopard Install disk, but it fails after downloading the packages. Below is the part of the log. Then I tried to use the old Leopard install DVD to reinstall Leopard, it then sais estimated time 12 hours or so and eventually crashed, spitting out a lot of "reportcrash" in the log. What is going on? I'm running out of options. Any advice? Would zeroing the hard drive help? If nothing else I plan to buy a new hard drive, since the only explanation I have is that there is a problem with the hard driven although the disk utility says it is OK. I need a bigger one anyway. Any ideas? Thank you!

It sounds to me like your Internal Hard Drive is failing.
I recommend you buy a new one, that is a good candidate for replacing the old one, but install it in an External enclosure and Install a fresh Mac OS X on it from the DVD. You can boot your Mac from any attached drive.
The new System can be used to get some work done, check your emails, and takes the pressure off resolving this immediately. You can also attempt to salvage files off the old drive if needed.
Once things seem to be working, then move the new drive inside the computer. Failures at this point may be due to bad cable, which has been a problem in some of these MacBooks.
Use security erase, write Zeroes, one pass, to re-write every block on the old drive. Any block discovered to be bad will be replaced with spares the drive holds in reserve for this purpose. If more than 10 blocks are pared on one pass, "Initialization Failed!" will be the result. Although you can try the erase again, there is some question whether you want to trust this drive with your precious data.

Hey corrafromlondon,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the installer file isn't working. Have you tried deleting the installer and redownloading the installer? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

How to import SQLite .db file from AIR project

hi friends..
how to import SQLite.db file from AIR project. and i want use this in my application.
after importing can i update and delete the recordS?

There's no import needed. You just open it using the AIR SQL APIs. If this database file was created outside AIR, it's not necessarily compatible, though. There are SQLite features and extensions that aren't supported in AIR.

Extracting files from Portfolio - problem with outlook email created portfolios

Currently I have developed a plugin that can extract files from portfolios using:-
PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles"));
and
PDFileAttachmentFromCosObj
But i've noticed with Outlook email created portfolios the above is PDNameTree invalid. any suggestions? is it under another atom string or something?
Thanks,
Lee.

ok, found something out here... if I close the doc using AVDocClose then re-open in the code using PDDocOpen then the PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles")); works!!!
but now I have a problem getting the original pdf open filename.
usually can get it with below code but it's returning the Folder path + garbage instead. (this only happens with portfolios created by outlook that I have tested)
There must be a better way of doing this, any ideas? thanks, lee.
ASFile asFile = PDDocGetFile(pdDoc);
ASPathName asPathName = ASFileAcquirePathName(asFile);
char* temp = ASFileSysDIPathFromPath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), asPathName, NULL);

[SOLVED] Resetting config files from a package

Suppose I modify a file called /etc/examplefile.conf from a package example-package.
What is the easiest / most elegant way to reset this file? Reset = restore the file to its original, removing my modifications.
This[1] topic discusses this, but it is two years old. I would say the "best" solution there was the one suggested in #7:
you could move the config file first then reinstall.
But I'm not sure if this is safe. For a dummy example, removing /etc/pacman.conf then reinstalling pacman wouldn't probably be a good idea (I suspect this wouldn't work).
OBS.: Getting the original file from the package from the cache is an obvious solution, but I'm searching for a simpler (more direct) way to do this (a bash/zsh one-liner would be sufficient, for example).

Extracting file from a TAR file with java.util.zip.* classes

Is there a way to extract files from a .TAR file using the java.util.zip.* classes?
I tried in some ways but I get the following error:

download the tar.jar from the above link and use the sample program below

               e.printStackTrace();
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     private static void untar(String tarFileName, File dest)throws IOException{
          //assuming the file you pass in is not a dir
          dest.mkdir();
          //create tar input stream from a .tar.gz file
          TarInputStream tin = new TarInputStream( new GZIPInputStream( new FileInputStream(new File(tarFileName))));
          //get the first entry in the archive
          TarEntry tarEntry = tin.getNextEntry();
          while (tarEntry != null){//create a file with the same name as the tarEntry
               File destPath = new File(
               dest.toString() + File.separatorChar + tarEntry.getName());
               if(tarEntry.isDirectory()){
                    destPath.mkdir();
               }else {
                    FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(destPath);

Extract File from CD

I've looked around but can't seem to find a way to extract an audio file from a CD. I'm certain this was possible with Audition. I assume that Soundbooth (as part of my Master Bundle)is regarded by Adobe as superior to Audition but I feel there are missing requirements. I've resorted to using 'Wavelab 6' to extract CD audio but it does seem cumbersome.

Perhaps with so many free rippers out there they didn't feel the need to include the facility.
EAC (Exact Audio Copy), CDex, VUPlayer are some that spring to mind.

How do I extract files from a dvd I have already burned to re-edit back in Premiere?

I'm trying to extract the files from a dvd back to Premiere, the project was assembled with Premiere Pro 1.5, I need to re-edit that same project. The dvd is not a data disk.
Please help!!

Along with the material in Eddie's link, you might want to read over this ARTICLE by Jeff Bellune, posted in the Adobe Encore FAQ's. While it addresses getting the material into Encore for authoring, much will apply to your situation.
Personally, I use an A-D bridge (though the file structure is already in digital form) to Capture directly from my DVD player to my computer. This is for non-commercial DVD's from my clients, where the original material is no longer available.. It's quick, easy and my Capture software Exports as DV-AVI Type II, so there is no additional conversion needed. If I need to work on the Menu structure, etc., then I use a workflow similar to Jeff's, outlined in his article.
Good luck, and please follow Eddie's link,
Hunt

Extracting file from blob and storing in file system

In order to keep the database size down, I would like to run a program to execute on submit of a page containing a file upload control, which will extract the file from the blob in the db and store it in the operating system.
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

I use something like this
procedure blob2file
    ( p_blob blob
    , p_directory varchar2 := 'MY_DIR'
    , p_filename varchar2 := 'my.xlsx'
is
    t_fh utl_file.file_type;
    t_len pls_integer := 32767;
begin
    t_fh := utl_file.fopen( p_directory
                          , p_filename
                          , 'wb'
    for i in 0 .. trunc( ( dbms_lob.getlength( p_blob ) - 1 ) / t_len )
    loop
      utl_file.put_raw( t_fh
                      , dbms_lob.substr( p_blob
                                       , t_len
                                       , i * t_len + 1
    end loop;
    utl_file.fclose( t_fh );

Can't Extract Files from System Image DVD

I recently created a Windows 7 system image onto DVD-RWs as my HDD was suspect. The HDD was replaced under warranty. When I came to restore the system image I got up to the fourth DVD and the process would not go any further (could not read the DVD).
I then tried to extract some of the more important files from the first three disks that the restore process had read successfully. I used the AttachVHD option under Computer management however for every .vhd file which I tried to attach I received a "The file or directory is corrupted anf unreadable" error message from the Virtual Disk Manager.
I also tried 7-Zip to extract files but received the message "Can not open file as archive" each time.
Can any one throw any light on why I can't read these .vfd files?

Only last night a user went through the same situation as you are going through. Details are important. For now I am assuming that your computer is Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. If other post immediately to let me know.
1. You need two files from Adobe, one .exe and the other .7z. If you have a 64 bit computer operating system
make sure the you see 64 in the name of the file.
2. Assure that you have antivirus and firewall disabled.
3. Right click the .exe file and select Run As Administrator. The double click the .exe to Run it. This will lead
you into the 7z which is the program.
If the desktop is not working as the destination for the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder which will be present after the 7z has completed, then set it to Documents.
In the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder, double click the PRE12 Folder to find the Setup.exe from which you will
install the program.
I will be back in a moment to add the link to last night's thread where we went through what you are going through now.
Make sure at the onset that you have the right files to be used with your specific operating system.
ATR
Add On...This is last night's thread on this type of issue
Premeire elements 12 will only download as files...
