Flex/Flashbuilder build AIR, is Adobe suffering from product development myopia?

Hi,
Im really new to using Flex/Flashbuilder to build SWFs. Im actually using Flex3 (3.2) instead of FlashBuilder, but both seem to have to same approach when it comes to creating AIR)
Im trying to get a hold of Adobe's idea of creating AIR apps with Flex/FlashBuilder. From what I make out the way to go is create a Flex project and set it to publish for the desktop. Actionscript projects dont have this option (though I know how to fake it by changing .mxml to .as)
But as Im new to Flex, Im trying to get a hold on the concept of Flex/FlashBuilder. I just cant imagine that developer tools like these encourages developers to use MXML instead of actionscript when you want to develop an AIR app. Especially because the compilers seems to parse MXML code into actionscript class instances. From what I make out sofar this is a ridiculous sidestep and forces developers to learn MXML while the actual language is Actionscript 3.0. Also all the necessary libraries could just as easily be compiled into an Actionscript project, right?
The weird thing is that FlashBuilder seems to have to exact same setup as Flex 3. So, I guess Adobe didnt think that workflow was a Flex 3 flaw. So either Im missing something completely obvious or Adobe suffering from product development myopia.
What's the idea here? Can someone explain, please?

We just had the same issue whe trying to upgrade our AIR app from requiring 3.3 to 3.4 by changing the application descriptor. We see the same message "Cannot complete installation because runtime updates are disabled on this machine" in our logs, but nothing was really ever done to disable updates on that particular machine. Checking on different computers now, but if this is a widespread problem then it would disastrous as our user would be unable to use the app. Any idea what is causing this?
This thread is the only(!) Google result for "Cannot complete installation because runtime updates are disabled on this machine".

Can you build and create a resume through the adobe reader from a iPhone or iPad?

Trying to figure if a resume can be built or created on adobe reader from iPhone or iPad?

Mrs. Perrin,
I'm afraid that you don't understand what Adobe Reader does. It's a PDF viewer. It views PDF files created in other programs.
You would need to build a resume in a program like Microsoft Word, Pages, InDesign, etc. Then you'd create a PDF file in one of those programs and you could view it on an iPhone or iPad using Adobe Reader.

Air for TV compiled from Burrito

Hello, I've been playing around with Air for TV and was wondering if there is any plan (or current method) to allow compiling an AIR for TV application from FlashBuilder?

I was finally able to get my app on a Samsung TV. Here's some more info on this subject. You actually have to overlay the Air 2.6 SDK - not the 2.5 SDK.
Also make sure when you finally package the TV app to change the application XML to point to 2.5,. During development you can leave it as 2.6.
@see http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/airquestions/AIR+for+TV
What tools do developers use to create AIR 2.5.1 apps for TVs?
Developers can use the following tools:
AIR 2.6 SDK
Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5 (now an integral feature in Flash Professional CS5.5)
Flash Builder 4.5
Note: Developers can use the AIR 2.6 SDK for developing apps for AIR 2.5.1 for TV. In Flash Professional, set the publish settings to Adobe AIR 2.5. In Flash Builder, set the AIR namespace to 2.5 in the app descriptor file:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">.
If you are using Flash Builder 4.5, you must do the following:
Download the Flex 4.1.0.16076 SDK.
Download the AIR 2.6 SDK.
Copy each file from the AIR 2.6 SDK into the corresponding directory within the Flex 4.1 SDK, replacing the Flex original variants.
To use this SDK within Flash Builder, select your project in the Flash Builder package explorer.
Choose Project > Properties to open the project's Properties dialog box.
Select Flex Compiler in the list and then click the "Configure Flex SDKs" link to open the Preferences dialog box.
Click the Add button, browse to the SDK, and then click OK until you get back to the project's Properties dialog box.
Click the "Use a specific SDK" option and then pick Flex 4.1 from the drop-down menu.
You must also replace the default WindowedApplication element with Application in your project's MXML file.

Flash Builder 4 - Mobile (Adobe read this!)

This is the second time I've written this letter. The first was a five-paragraph rant detailing the chronicles of my journey into mobile using the Adobe tools. This time, however, I've decided to break it down in a different way. It goes like this:
- Adobe spends considerable effort trying to convince Flash (AS3) developers to migrate to Flex (Flash Builder)
- After spending time with Flex, I am one of those who is convinced by the ease and power of what it offers. I buy Flex (Flash Builder)
- Adobe announces it will provide support for building iOS application but insists you use (buy) Flash CS5.
- Support (and methods) for using Flash Builder to create iOS applications is complex, messy and tedious at best.
- I buy an iPad ($3500), pay for an Apple developer account($100) and start using Flash CS5.
- I have to strip out the AS3 from my Flex project to bring it into Flash CS5. (Abandoning all the Flex components that made it great in the first place)
- I get my AS3 application running locally on my iPad. Despite every effort, it runs considerably slow (to my surprise)
- Apple makes it's TOS changes, restricting 3rd party developer tools.
- I'm now **** out of luck getting my Flash based application public (iTunes Store)
- Adobe starts to turn it's attention to Android (a move I fully supported despite my own shortcomings)
- AIR for Android starts to unfold. So, I start taking a look at it in addition to downloading the Android SDK.
- Publishing anything to an Android device, using Flash Builder, is (again) a complex, messy and tedious task. Command lines etc.. nightmare.
- Now, Apple reverses it's TOS policies.
- More Android 2.2 Froyo devices begin to emerge now (especially tablets like the Galaxy)
So, at this point I digress.
So, Adobe. You wanted us to migrate to Flash Builder. So, we did. This, by the way, means we BOUGHT the software. ($780)
So, you want to demonstrate Flash's power to publish to mobile devices. (meaning, now, iOS and Android)
ALRIGHT THEN, WHY DONT YOU SPEND SOME TIME GETTING FLASH BUILDER 4 UP TO PAR ALREADY? WHY DON'T YOU MAKE PUBLISHING FOR BOTH PLATFORMS (iOS and ANDROID) MORE ELEGANT NOW? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO BUY FLASH CS5 NOW THAT WE'VE FINALLY COME ON BOARD WITH FLASH BUILDER? WHY DONT YOU SPEND SOME TIME PROVIDING AN ELEGANT SOLUTION FOR MOBILE PUBLISHING - LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE FOR FLASH CS5 (MONTHS AGO). I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FILL OUT A FEW FIELDS, SELECT A FEW OPTIONS FROM A MENU AND PUBLISH MY APPLICATION FROM FLASH BUILDER. NOT DOWNLOAD SDK'S, DOWNLOAD SPECIAL BUILDS OF AIR AND FLASH PLAYER ON A WEEKLY BASIS. GET FLASH BUILDER 4 UP TO PAR SO WE CAN WRITE ONCE AND PUBLISH (PUSHING A BUTTON) TO BOTH iOS AND ANDROID WITHOUT SPENDING HOURS FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET IT ALL WORKING.

Again, my issue is not with Flash Builder itself. In fact I think Adobe is doing a tremendous job regarding many things at this juncture. They've been under a considerable amount of pressure, especially since Apple tried to declare Flash an obsolete technology. I'm proud of Adobe and Flash - which I thoroughly enjoy working with. I also enjoy working with Flash Builder.
My issue is in regards to support. It's that simple. I understand that many features take time to prepare prior to their public release. This is obvious. There are a lot of tests to be made prior to even a first release. My issue is a specific one. It is in regards to Flash Builder and their attitude towards this piece of software as it relates to this "mobile storm" that has approached. Everything is about MOBILE, MOBILE, MOBILE. Well, ok.. it's about mobile. Adobe really only has two (count that, 2!) pieces of software that creates Flash content. (and NO, that isn't a lot). There's the Flash IDE and Flash Builder, which is SUPPOSED TO BE FOR DEVELOPERS. One would think that more time would have been spent of getting ELEGANT mobile publishing solutions into Flash Builder at this point. I'm tired of reading one massive pdf after another just to understand what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. AND.. on top of this.. they get simple, fluid, elegant solutions into the FLASH IDE in the meantime. iPhone, Android publishing with the click of a button in the Flash IDE? DONE! Months ago.. Flash Builder 4 with the same capabilities? Nothing. Command lines... Terminal windows.. give me a break.

/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder4.7/sdks/4.6.0 - this was so that my projects all have 4.6.0 + 3.5 Air. Then I overlayed

I hope this helps you.

Flex SDK and AIR runtime version in mobile

Hi, guys.
I'm trying to make my first Flex mobile app.
I'm a little confused about the relationship between Flex SDK and AIR runtime versions for mobile development.
In the "Developing Mobile Applications with ADOBE FLEX 4.6 and ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.6" pdf document, it says:
"AIR requirements
Flex mobile projects and ActionScript mobile projects require AIR 2.6 or a higher version. You can run mobile projects on physical devices that support AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR.
You can install AIR 2.6 or a higher version only on supported Android devices that run Android 2.2 or a higher version. For the complete list of supported Android devices, see Certified Devices. Also, review the minimum system requirements to run Adobe AIR on Android devices at Mobile System Requirements.
Note: If you do not have a device that supports AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR, you can use Flash Builder to launch and debug mobile applications on the desktop."
So, I go and check the Certified devices in http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html and find that the minimun FLASH PLAYER version accepted by ALL devices is FP 10.1
1. Does this mean that if I want to release an app to target ALL mobile devices, then I can only use Flex 4.5?
2. Do support for Flash Player mean the same than support for Adobe AIR? Or the application will prompt the user to install whatever version of the AIR runtime and all of them would be supported by the device, even in the FLASH PLAYER support is for a lesser version?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help, Flex harUI,
The first impression that comes to mind is that FP version is indeed only for the web browser plugin. Then, why does the official Flex 4.6 mobile development documentation have a link to that page that only speaks about the supported FP version in mobiles under the title "AIR requirements"??
This makes it way too confusing.
Do you know whether there is something like an equivalent matrix/list of mobile devices with their supported AIR runtime versions? I went a great deal in trying to keep my original app under 400kb... I didn't know that in the end it would end up weighing 9.5Mb... :S
Thanks again,

How to update Flex to use air 1.5.1?
The last Nightly Build (3.4.0.5042) release today has the
"old" 1.5 version of air sdk.
Thanks

Currently, you have to overlay the AIR 1.5.1 SDK on top of
your Flex SDK. There are instructions in the AIR 1.5.1 release

Flex/Flashbuilder build AIR, is Adobe suffering from product development myopia?
