Get AIR app to start as OS Startup

Hello!
How can I make an AIR application start at Windows Startup (and other OSs)?
Thank you!

Oh....
I'm sceptical to if that's even possible, as that would have massive security risks.
Essentially what you'd have to do is add your app to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
within your registry.
so your best bet would be to look around and see if Actionscript can mess around with the registry, which i don't think it can due to the hugeeeeeee security implications it would create...i may be wrong though.
I know it's possible in C/C++ though.

might be worth having a look at, it does say
Note:  The application does not launch when the computer
system starts. It launches when the user logs in.
but it might give you some answers

  • Most apps have started crashing on startup

    As of today, most of my non-Apple standard apps have started crashing/quitting immediately on startup.
    All the regular Apple apps work ok - Mail, Camera, Photo.
    And some new apps I redownloaded that were crashing, like Google, now work again.
    But most of my apps don't work. As soon as I start them up they immediately quit.
    I tried a reset, but that didn't help.
    Anybody ever see this before?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Never mind. It turns out I didn't do a true reset (hold the home and power buttons down until it automatically turns off and restarts). I was doing just a power down.
    After a true restart everything started working again.

  • IOS 8 beta - Air apps not starting on iOS8

    Hi there, I had some old apps released using AIR sdk 3.4 back in Sep 2012, and because they were working fine, I never updated with newer AIR sdks.
    Today I installed iOS 8 beta on my ipad mini and tried out my apps and all the Air apps are not starting at all, just blank black screen.
    On the console this is the message:
    Jun 30 21:41:14 KHUNDAGAs-iPad com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (UIKitApplication:net.asuult.radio969[0xaac8][414]) <Notice>: Service exited due to signal: Killed: 9
    Jun 30 21:41:14 KHUNDAGAs-iPad SpringBoard[43] <Warning>: Application 'UIKitApplication:net.asuult.radio969[0xaac8]' quit via signal.
    I wonder, is it because my Air sdk used is older, 3.4, or are there any other issues about iOS 8 that I am not aware of?

    Hi,
    Yes, there have been significant differences since we released AIR SDK 3.4, we recommend try building your app with latest AIR SDK (14.0.0.110) and see if that solves the problem.
    -Thanks

  • How do I get an app to launch automatically on startup?

    I downloaded an app (*.wcz) file that links to a clock on the desktop background.
    Clicking the app displays the background from http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaperclocks/ and the clock and date work.
    When I shut down and start up again, the screen reverts to the previously selected background.
    Is there any way to launch this wallpaper + clock automatically on startup?

    Hi, if the App is in the Dock, right click, choose Options>Open at login.
    Or System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window, drag the App there or click on the tiny plus icon to add it.

  • Can't get into App Builder, started as PC file

    Desperately seeking someone with experience!
    I built my app on a PC and put everything into the folio builder thinking this would be a simple process. Oops.
    I've got a Professional Membership and two folios, one for iPad, one for iPhone.  I've also got two problems.
    Problem 1. The folios from my admin account are not showing up in my application account. I did use my admin email as the application name for the application account. I thought that was the way to establish a connection. Was I wrong?
    Problem 2. Nothing at all shows up in the app builder in either account.
    I got a whole lot of nothing.
    Can anyone help? It all looks fantastic from my PC, but I can't seem to get it off of there or the cloud!
    Thank you in advance

    Good news, that got me through posting the thumbails, but now I'm stuck.
    On the left hand side, App Details is green with a check mark and Icons and Splash screens is bold.
    I keep hitting the "NEXT" button and recycling through the screens where you post all the thumbails.
    According to the instructions on page 119 in "Using Digital Publishing Suite",  I'm supposed to move on to Newstand, Social Sharing, and Sumbitting, but I can't get anywhere except for "Next" thumbnail set and "Cancel."
    Help please?
    Thanks so much

  • Cant install any AIR apps

    I've tried many different things to get AIR apps to run on my
    10.5.5 machine including uninstalling and reinstalling AIR,
    removing the /var/folders/zz folder, repairing permissions, with no
    luck.
    Whenever I try to start any AIR app installer I receive the
    following message:
    The application could not be installed because the AIR file
    is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application
    author.
    Any thoughts on where to go next? Really hoping to avoid
    reinstalling the OS.

  • Pass flashvars to an AIR app?

    I'm converting a Flex app to an AIR app.
    The current flex app uses the SWFObject inthe html template
    to pass in flashvars...
    var so = new SWFObject("myappp.swf", "myappp", "${width}",
    "${height}", "9.0.115");
    so.addVariable("XMLData",
    getXML(document.getElementById("MyXMLData")));
    so.write();
    ...where MyXmlData is defined in the html template as
    follows....
    <div style="display:none;" id="MyXMLData">
    <video>
    <clip url="rtmp://cpxxx.edgefcs.net/500k/myflv"
    hideSkin="false">
    </clip>
    </video>
    </div>
    In my ActionScript I get the flashvars as follows...
    if (!loaderInfo.parameters.hasOwnProperty("MyXMLData"))
    throw("Error: Missing XML Data");
    How would I do this with AIR? Is there a way to pass the XML
    to the loader when the AIR app is starting up? To put it another
    way... How would I pass flashvars to an AIR app?
    Thanks!
    Chris

    It depends on how your application is being launched. If it's
    being launched from a web page via the browser API, you can pass
    arguments to the launch call. That's not really appropriate for an
    entire XML file, but you could pass e.g. a URL to one.
    However, if your application is being launched directly by a
    user on the desktop, then there's no way to pass arguments to it.
    Stepping back a bit, it might be more useful to think about
    your use case and how to make it work, rather than focusing
    immediately on Flashvars, which is just a feature.

  • Air apps on Microsoft Surface?

    Microsofts challenge to the iPad is due out in mid October, which isnt that far away and we havent yet heard anything about getting Air apps on to it. Does anyone from Adobe want to comment?
    It would seem a pretty good match. Microsoft needs quality apps for its new platform and if Air developers could just compile their exisiting iPad apps for Win8 Metro then I think a lot of people would do it (I would).
    And technically it should be almost trivial given that Adobe and MS have already worked together on a version of the flash player for win 8 tablets.
    so why no news on this?

    Hi Anupam,
    For surface, developing a game and porting it as a Windows store app will suffice your requirement.A windows store app can be run on laptops,desktops and also surface running on Windows 8/8.1.Preferrably, try deploying your game as windows 8.1 store app
    unity3d 4.3 supports this.
    Keep in mind that you have to use 3D models with mobile diffuse(texture),which consume less memory while loading/progressing of the game.
    Avoid using heavy GameObjects like terrain.Instead go for a plane.Terrains are not recommended by unity on mobiles.On a tab,it will work but with consumes more memory.
    Here's a blog which will help you achieve this ,

  • The air app cannot detect the new added camera

    i made a desktop air-app. the problem is when i unpluged my usb camera and start the air app . the app detect the existed cameras with Camera.names.length = 2; and then i pluged another usb camera and use the Camera.names.length to detect the new camera, but the result is still 2 , not the 2 existed camera with the new added one which the total is 3. then i close the air-app and start it again ,this time the camera.names.length is 3. why ? the air-app just cannot detect the new added camera? the only way the air-app can detect the new added camera is restart the app?

    Air ow flash player for that matter won't detect camera added at runtime. It will detect if you remove the camera while you were capturing images from the camera. You can try to scan for camera suing a timer and see if it detects it then.
    There is also a not so documented flash.media.scanHardware() method, which should force a hardware scan. I did not used it yet so can't vouch for it.

  • Getting started: how to connect to "tutorial-chat" via AIR app

    Hi,<br />I've gone through the blaze ds "getting started" article and successfully got the chat application working.<br /><br />I now am trying to connect a test AIR app to that same tutorial-chat destination, but am having issues. How do i properly specify the "desination" via a fully qualified url?<br /><br /><mx:Producer id="producer" destination="http://myurl.com:8400/messagebroker/tutorial-chat"/><br /><br /><mx:Consumer id="consumer" destination="http://myurl.com:8400/messagebroker/tutorial-chat"<br />message="messageHandler(event)"/>

    You don't specify urls in destination attributes. You specify destination ids which are defined in messaging-config.xml on the server. Destinations on the server (whose id you use in your Consumer) specify a channel id and channels are also defined on the server in services-config.xml. Channel definition is the one that has the URL in it.
    All you have to do is to make sure you compile your AIR app pointing to the services-config.xml. If you can't do that, then you can create yoru own ChannelSet and assign to your Consumer, something like this:
    var cs:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
    var c:Channel = new AMFChannel(null, [URL_OF_YOUR_ENDPOINT]);
    cs.addChannel(cs);
    myConsumer.channelSet = cs;
    If you're running this locally on your machine, URL_OF_YOUR_ENDPOINT is something like http://localhost:8400/messagerbroker/amf but it all depends on how you defined your channel/endpoint in services-config.xml on the server.

  • Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

    Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
    The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
    Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
    Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

    Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
    Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
    Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

  • How to get Adobe Air-apps to run *properly*? (Voddler ecpecially)

    First: I am running AMD64, and have installed the bin32-adob-air from AUR.
    The problem is, this does not work as it should. Air apps are never "installed" like they would be in Windows, or Ubuntu with the adobe-air from adobe installed. This causes problems with remembering configs and storing data between instances. Wimp, t.ex. will never remember my password, now matter how many times I check the remember password-box. And When running VOddler it just won't find the config file.
    I am trying to run Voddler in linux now, following this. But it won't work.
    I just get an "error reading config file" message when starting it using the adobe-air command (ie. the script from the package. Thinking the problem might be caused by the script running air apps from a temp dir, i aslo tried to run
    [gert@blad opt]$ /opt/adobe-air-sdk/bin/adl -nodebug /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer/META-INF/AIR/application.xml /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer
    after unpacking the Voddler Files there, but no luck.
    I see that there are a newer version of Voddler out now, and I will try that, but I'd appreciate any help with this spesific issue.
    Also, I would like to know if there is any way to get the "full Air experience" where you jut click-and go, and can install Air-apps the simple, proper way "everybody else" does it. Cause Air right now is a major hassle. Is there any chance of getting the Adobe-Air installer from Adoe work on Arch, or at least get a similar result? Integrated in the system, detected in the browser on  webpages etc.

    I guess voddler cancels the DRM "lease" as soon as the error box pos up, giving me this question. Seems Firefox doesn't communicate properly with the air-app. Or something else I don't get. complete output from firefox run: pastebin

  • Detecting if the Air App is already running when clicking on start shortcut

    I have a question . Is it possible when starting up an air application to get  info if this Application is already opened  ? And if it is posssible how can I send notification or any kind of invocation to that opened application about that the user tried to start up the application . In my scenario I have got the Application that will run most time in minimized mode ,so it will happen that the user ,after some time , will not pay attention that the Application is already opend and will try to start it again . I want that when he attempts to do so the minimized  Application will reopen .
    Any Advice will be very appreciated !!!!
    Michael

    AIR app can register for Invoke event. This event is dispatched when the app is started initially . Also, when you try to start an already running app, the running app would get an invoke event, indicating that the app was tried to be started again. You can use this to achive the functionality you desire.
