Flash Desktop Application - how to update?

Hi all,
I'm trying to put together a flash desktop application. I
want it show each of my .swf's i created, per month ( i.e. january
month plays 1.swf, february plays 2.swf, march plays 3.swf etc.)
how can i code the flash to update automatically or would i
have to use some external codes to accomplish this?
is it even possible to update if it's a desktop application?
any help would be greatly appreciated :)
thanks !

Another question - what program are you using to publish the
file as a standalone application that users can download? It seems
that publishing the flash file as a projector (.exe) file only
makes it open in flash player
was that a dumb question?
I'm using Flash 8. As long as the user has Flash installed in
their browser than using the .exe file on the computer has no
issues. I believe that the reason the .exe file is larger than the
.swf is that it contains the necessary information to run the .exe
file whether Flash is installed on the computer or not. I haven't
tested that out yet though.
Adobe's Air actually allows you to install the application. I
haven't been able to play with that as of yet, but I have seen some
people using it and a demo of it.
*Edit*
I just tested the application I have out on a computer
without Flash on it, and it worked fine. So, the reason the .exe
files are so large is because they contain all the requirements to
run a Flash app.

Desktop application does not update

My CC desktop application will not update to version 1.6.0.393. I click on it to update, it downloads thru 100% and leaves the screen. I can see disk activity and hear the cooling fan kick in but nothing happens. After an hour or so I try to start the app from the desktop icon and the whole process starts again,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to make the background invisible in an flash desktop application?

Hey there,
I am currently trying to build a small desktop application in flash which works a bit like the scmpoo sheep (scmpoo - Cute little lamb / sheep on your desktop - YouTube). A screenmate with just a few animations and a movieclip tied together in as3.
My problem now is, that the animated animal should a least look like it really moves on the users desktop, since I found no way to really place it there.
I already set it to fullscreen mode, which removes the borders but I can't find a way to make the backgound invisible/transparent. In web-browsers this seems to be quite easy, but does it work for the desktop flash at all?
And if yes, how do I do it?
thanks for helping

Air desktop application: how to make a menu item bold?

Hi, I'm using Flash CS6 to develop an AIR desktop application for OSX. I've created my menu using NativeMenu and such, but I can't find a way to make the first menu item bold, like a true OSX app. So far the little I've found on this always referred to Flex, not Flash. Any hints?
Thank you.

Thank you, kglad.
I think I forgot to mention I'm building an Application Menu. The NativeMenu contains NativeMenuItems and there is no format property or method that I can see. Also, the name the menu item displays is its label property, which you can set, but it's a string, and I believe the htmlText applies to textfields, right?

XML for desktop applications, how to?

yes, this is what I need. I read alot about many kinds of APIs. I became confused of what to use and why. All what I need is this:-
I'm building a desktop application (Swing), it's like a phone book. a small database of contacts (name, address, and phone number). but I want to use XML files to serve as database files and store the lists.
what classes should I use? and if you have an overall idea of how to do it I'll be glad to have it.
thanx in advance :)

Look at the JDom, SAX and DOM API, Dom4J, XOM, Commons Digester and a few other libraries. They should help.
Additionally, get a copy of Bret McLaughlin's Java and XML form O'Rielly. It's a great book and should show you how to do what you want...

Flash Desktop App with Com Port

Does anyone have any idea how to build a Flash desktop
application for windows that basically provides a nice GUI to
send/recieve very basic data to/from a serial/com port?
Cheers,
Chris :-)

Thanks rritchey,
I'm also looking into running Flash inside VB. Looks like the
easiest solution so far, although I was hoping for something more
simplistic.

How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

How to update the PHP Class Service back in Flash Builder 4

I'm not sure if my post title makes any sense or not but let me explain. I've been working on an application in Flash Builder 4 using the ZendFramework and PHP services and everything is work great. the problem I have is after I make changes to my services PHP class (edit php file that has my functions in it), how to I updated those functions in the Flash builder application?
For example, I needed to pass a second object into one of my function in my PHP class and after I edited the file and saved it, I don't see the changes in the Flash builder 4 application. Is there a button I can run to update the PHP class back in Flash Builder?
Thanks,
John Baranowski

How do you use Flash Builder to regenerate the code for the same PHP service I connected to prior? When I first connected to the PHP service Flash Builder automatically built a package with all kinds of actionscript functions in it. I added a function to my PHP Class file server side and I need help on how to update the package back in Flex to see my new function. Can anyone help me??

Re: Flash Air desktop application

Hi there,
I have developed a flash air desktop application with the help of a flash programmer.
Soon I will put it online for sale. How could I avoid illegal copy from spreading around?
I need a lot of info regading this.
Please help me with this issue.
Many thanks

A possible solution is described here:

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.

CC Updating the Desktop Application

Every time I open CC Desktop Application ..it needs an Update before I can begin to use it!!! eg to update the CC applications.
Seriously...does this need to be like this?
(Continual updating...so much like Adobe Air and Flash.)

Ah! I see.
That makes sense. You see, I occasionally use it to quickly access my Behance page, and to quickly download fonts that are recommended for particular uses on one of the tutorial channels I watch. My wife is always asking for new fonts. She is a teacher, and apparently anything new and different is good.
Also, I have started keeping a few files up on the Creative Cloud. Hey, it really has something to do with a cloud after all!
So I open it more often. Therefore it doesn't seem like it upgrades as often.

How to run desktop application

Hi! I've programmed for years JSP, Servlets and Applets, but never a desktop application, so... my problem is that I don't have any idea on how to run it. I mean, of course I know how to run some application in my own desktop (java applicationname) but my doubt is, what I need to install in the client desktop or how must I do my package in order to run without the need for installing the SDK. Because, as I known, the "java.exe" comes with SDK, and of course, I don't think that I need to install de entire SDK in all my clients desktops in order to run my application.
Any help will be very appreciated!

You should give them the Java Runtime Environment. You will find a java.exe there too. E.g.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_02
The principle problems you will have to consider are:
1.) How easy, and often, will you have to update your program? You might need to consider something like Java Webstart, for example.
2.) What are the security considerations? If you need access to a database you will have difficulty keeping passwords secure. You may want to obfiscate code, for example.
3.) If the applications are communicating with a central resource how will you deal with simultaneous usage. Coming from a web application background this is nothing new to you I guess but you may want to consider a J2EE application server, for example.
4.) You need to consider whether you stick with what you know and develop an intranet approach to internal applications.

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.
