How do I get Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URL text file has been updated?

How do I get an Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URLRequest ".txt" file has been updated? via blinking system tray icon or something.
New to Air and need someone to point me in the right direction. I have been searching web for hours and probably not asking the question right.
I have a very simple Desktop App that just loads a text file from a web location into a dynamic text field at a set timer. it just repeats this action on the timer. right now every 5 minutes
What would the actionscript be to tell the Air App to look at the date or time stamp of the ".txt" file and notify user if its new?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble. I'm fairly certain this problem is occurring on the Air side and not on the Acrobat.com side of things. Please try reposting your question in the Air forums.
Good luck!

Adobe AIR desktop app with an embedded runtime

Hi,
Does an Adobe AIR desktop app with an embedded runtime (standalone/portable) that got published on Windows work on a Mac too?
Thanks

No, you need to compile a "bundle" with ADT on each platform. On Windows it creates a directory with an .exe and the AIR runtime. On OS X it creates a .app file.

How to know if a file has been updated in iCloud after modification?

How to know if a file has been updated in iCloud after modification?
I work on various app including Keynote on my Mac Pro. And after modification, i close file and I wait.
When I see no more Internet traffic. I assume that keynote has uploaded all the works I have done into iCloud.
But when I open the same file on my iPad on the way to work. I do not see the file updated.
I assume that I did not wait long enough.
I wished I had a way to enforce the updated file to upload and way to get confirmation that it has been completed.
In windows I simply push the sync button.
But for iCloud I do not yet see anything like that.
Please help.

you would be better served asking this in the iCloud discussion, where users are more knowledgeable about iCloud. Replies on iOS and iCloud issues are usually unanswered here because of our lack of knowledge.

HT201335 How do I get the air play app ?

I contacted support on how to get the air play app, but was lead to the "remote app" that just allows the iPad to be used as a remote. I am looking for the mirroring option . Thanks

It is not an app, if your ipad is 2 or 3 you have it, ipad one cannot mirror. Hıt home button a couple of times and swlipe l to r twice and you should see the icon.

How can I get the CC desktop app to work properly?

Hi,
I purchased a subscription and now I'm trying to install Adobe CC applications on my computer.
Unfortunately NOTHING is working the way it should…
I have tried calling support but they haven't called me back anymore.
Today I finally managed to get the Creative Cloud Desktop app installed, but it keeps giving me this message:
"The Creative Cloud installation is no longer functioning, please uninstall and download again from…"
I think I have tried all suggestions I found; uninstalling the app, repairing disk permissions, shutting down and starting up again, using the cleaner tool, renaming the OOBE folder in my Library… All steps in all order and with a restart and repairing disk permissions in between.
Also I followed all steps mentioned here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
The only thing I can think of that didn't go as described is the verification of the Cleaner Tool, also no log file is created.
- When you see the message "Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool completed successfully," click Quit and restart your computer.
- In a text editor, such as TextEdit, open /Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log.
I'm not sure what else there could be, is there anyone that has had similar problems and found a way around it?
All help is appreciated
By the way, my MacBook Pro 13" Retina is running OSX 10.9.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB or RAM. All CS6 apps have been working without many problems…

What are the ways to integrate PayPal (or other monetizing service) into an Adobe AIR desktop app?

Hey all
I just finished publishing my AIR mobile app for iOS and Android, both featuring freemium style in-app purchasing/billing, for a single purpose only - opening the app to be full featured.
Now the client wants a desktop version of the app. I need a way to monetize the same way: the user wants all the features - they click a button in the app, pay the 2 dollars, and now all the features are accessible.
I think going out to PayPal, paying there and returning to the app would be best, but I cannot get the files I found here to work.
Do you have any suggestions of a workflow with examples, or a service with AS3 support?
thanx

How can I get my ipad Pages app to keep video when converting to epub file?

I am trying to create a epub file to be opened in Ibook using Pages on the IPad. I have inserted a video and when I go to export to Ibooks it gives me a warning that video has been converted into an image. I have created this same video on a desktop computer and been able to email and open it in IBook on my IPAD.
Is there a way to have video embedded on the IPAD Pages app to be able to be published as an epub and be able to be opened later.
Cassy Mate

I'm wondering about this also. Even when importing very small videos it converts into pictures... Hope someone can shed some light on this matter for us!

HT1414 My Apple ID username on my iPhone4 is seemingly locked on an old, unseable ID when I try to access the App Store on the iPhone. Everywhere else it has been updated (itunes etc.). How do I get past this no longer useable email/AppleID?

The phone has been restored from settings from an old iPod Touch. The Apple ID username there worked well then, but I have since updated that. The email is no longer useable (university) and the passwords I have tried do not work - nor should they since I have updated my Apple account. Again, it's only when I try to access the App Store on my iPhone does this Apple ID problem surface. Please help! Thanks.

Settings -> Store --> AppleID

How do I get the music I bought from iTunes on my phone back after it has been deleted?

After I bought all the music I tried backing it up on my computer but it didn't sync all the songs I had boughten. So when I went back to iTunes to just see if I could buy them all over again a box popped up and said that I had already purchased this song. So how do I get it back if it is not on my computer or on my phone?

HT2519, look that up on support.apple.com in the search bar in the top right hand corner, it will teach you how to download past purchases to your iTunes library or whatever means you so chose through the article it should walk you through it. You ARE allowed to download past purchased music, but like someone previously stated, only in the USA.

How can I get rid of "Jagged Edges" in FCP from .psd/.tif/.tga text files?

Hi guys,
I posted this once before but don't know if anyone looked at it or not.
I am getting "Jagged Edges" in .psd/ .jpg/ .tif/ .tga text files
when I edit them in FCP5.1.4.
What is going wrong?
It is getting very frustrating for me at this point.
Can someone help me out please?
Thanks,
Zia

The usual questions...
Have the clips you're looking at been "fully" rendered?
Are you looking at the computer monitor or an external broadcast monitor?
You can't judge what you've got unless you look at FCP output on a broadcast monitor.

How do I get a receipt for an email I have sent to know if it has been read on icloud

IOS 8.1.3 iPhone 6+
i want to receive a receipt once email has been read on iCloud.com

You don't.
Only on iMessages and only if the recipient wants that.

When i click on the firefox icon in the shortcuts tray, get the following message: The item 'firefox.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so that the shortcut will no longer work properly

I uninstalled and re-installed FF, but this keeps happening. This is the third time i am getting this issue

Start > Programs = Firefox
Does that shortcut work?
If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

AIR desktop app installation prob

Gidday
I'm having trouble getting my AIR desktop app (AIR2.5 with a self-signed certificate) to do auto updates. I've had it updating fine in the past, but now get the following message:
"This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
Here's my method when I test the installation:
- publish a new AIR file using the SAME version number as the currently released app eg 1.017
- install it on my local machine
- publish a new AIR file with an incremented version number, in this case 1.018
- set my text file that the app checks online for updates to contain 1.018
- upload 1.018 AIR file to my site
- run the desktop app (version 1.017). It successfully detects there's a new version, and downloads it.
- it starts to install, and then I get the error
I've researched this all afternoon, and have found articles mainly talking about expired certificates. So I created a new certificate, and the problem still occurs.
Also, I've tried uninstalling my app from my local machine, but I still get the installation error.
Any ideas how to rectify this, so that I can continue using auto updating rather than force people to uninstall and download the new version for installation?
Thanks for your help.

Nevermind - the txt file that contains the version number and the url for the updater has the url for my live site, not my test one, so I changed it , and it installed fine.

How do I get Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URL text file has been updated?
