Adding Desktop Icon in Flex/AIR app?

I could not find much on the web or this form but I am trying add my own desktop icon for my flex/air app. Only thing I have done so far is to open up the app.xml file and add the following to it.
<icon>
<image16x16>assets/gfx_1_16.png</image16x16>
<image32x32>assets/gfx_1_32.png</image32x32>
<image48x48>assets/gfx_1_48.png</image48x48>
<image128x128>assets/gfx_1_128.png</image128x128>
</icon>
After this when I build my app I get the following error.
I also made sure the copy non-embeded was check here.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Still looking for some help on getting icons to show in my flex/air app. Any help would be much appreciated.

Flex/Air applications with an OS X Menu Bar icon

(Flash Builder 4 beta)
I'm developing a flex/air application for mac os x exclusivley. The application should be very unobtrusive to the user, and as such, I want to eliminate the dock icon for the application and have it run exclusivley in the os x menu bar. Similar to a twitterific app. I've scoured the documentation for a way to do this, but only come up with methods for a system tray in windows, and dock icon function on a mac.
Does AIR really lack the ability to have a menu bar icon?
Thanks in advance!

I've made menu's already for the application. They are native os x menu's but they are used create contextual menus (file, edit, view...etc...) and are only visible when the application is open. Unless their is a feauture I missed I don't think I can do it with those. I'm looking for the ability to create a menubar icon application similar to twitter, or the default apple spotlight.

Example working Flex AIR app for Android?

I'm having trouble getting even the most basic AIR app working on Android. Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:local="*"
                        width="600" height="600">
     <fx:Declarations>
         
     </fx:Declarations>
     <mx:Label text="Hello World"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
It works fine running on Windows in Flash Builder, obviously it's pretty simple. Here are the commands I use to put it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2.

C:\Users\Ryan\Adobe Flash Builder 4\Test2\bin-release>adb install -r Test2.apk
2286 KB/s (419172 bytes in 0.179s)
         pkg: /data/local/tmp/Test2.apk
Success
A Test2 app icon shows up on my Galaxy Tab under Applications but when I run the app I just see a plain white screen, I don't see the words "Hello World". Any ideas? Does anyone have an example Flex AIR app that works on Android and can post the code so I can try it on my Galaxy Tab? I know AIR is installed correctly on my Galaxy because I installed an AIR app called South Park Avatar Creator that I got from the market and it works fine.
Thanks,
Ryan
P.S. Here is the Test2-app.xml from my non-working project above in case it helps. This is the default generated with a new Flex app in Flash Builder 4 using the Flex 4.1.0 AIR 2.5 SDK but I uncommented the andoid tags and set the visible tag to true.

Twitter Feed Within A Flex/Air Application

I am attempting to advance an appilcation I've created so that it incorporates a live twitter feed i.e. when users access the application their own twitter feed is shown within it and is updated live.
I have no experience in using either twitter itself or how to incorporate twitter feeds into a flex/air application specifically and was wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what I'd need to do to achieve this?
A further addition my client has requested is the use of live images. The app itself is basically an interactive favourites menu with users clicking on and adding links to sites within the app. Each of these links is represented by an icon which is basically a screenshot of each site. I want to alter this so that these images change live AS the site themselves change so they are constantly up to date. Is this also possible at all and if so can anyone give me advice on how this could be achieved?

Thanks a lot. I've used another method that simply lets the user enter their twitter name and it loads their live feed. I suppose that way would work too though. Cheers.

I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

Adobe Flex/AIR Photo Booth Software

Hi,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Is it possible to build a Photo Booth software like
http://www.photoboof.com/
http://sparkbooth.com/features/
etc. using Adobe Flex/AIR ?
I know that we can build desktop applications using Flex/AIR. But I have a very little experience in building desktop applications. Most of the times I had worked on web applications. The Photo Booth software demands to detect digital camera connected to computer/Laptop and then work on the basis of what camera captures. It is like creating a web application that works with media server and
use computer/laptop webcam. Please guide me how can I start or plan for this software.
Regards
Varun

From What I've found.. it seems 3ivx or Perian could cause this problem. A friend had this issue and deleted 3ivx and it fixed his crashes. Alternatively, some folks are reporting that turning off 32-bit mode (Get Info) for Photobooth has also fixed, although this was already turned off in my friend's case. Or if you have iGlasses installed.

How do I add and remove icons from my Mac Air desktop?

i downloaded Abode Acrobat and it left an icon on my Mac Air desktop. I would like to remove it. Also, how do I put an icon on the desktop for ready reference later?

1. Drag the icon to the Trash.
2. Drag the icons there, with or without pressing the Option and Command keys while dragging.

How to include different Character Sets in Flex AIR project

Hi All,
Flex, AIR(Desktop) Project.
PROBLEM Scenario:
My Application needs a path from Windows registry, So I am launching a .cmd file using Native Process API.
As a result I get a text file with the path.
So, everything works fine(reading/writing), but if the path contains different languages like Korean, Chinese then the READING OPERATION IS FAILED only when I install the application. It works fine while debugging.
(By failing I mean its not getting the characters, its printing some junk values.)
I am using readMultibyte & writeMultibyte APIs, and I am assiging the character set dynamically as per the OS language. (Which is Enslish in current scenario)
FINDING:
I installed Windows with Korean Language on a system, so now if I build the .exe on this machine then it works fine. So, i guess its not able to get the Korean Character set from the English OS, thats why it failed in earlier case.
Is there any way to include different character sets in a Flex project?
Regards,
Mayank

Some loaded SWFs may not be compatible with Flex. Try making a simpler SWF (like one that just draws a circle where you click) and see if it can be loaded and interacted with.

Interactive medical report with Flex/AIR, XML, U3D and PDF

Hello,
I am computer science student and during my master thesis I want to program an interactive medical report which should include some 3D models (U3D) and which should provide the following options:
Interactive manipulation of the 3D models
Typing in a structured medical report
Loading of a XML file with additional information
Loading of medical image data (jpg images)
At best, only one pdf file as resulting report
And: A nice user interface (I like the interface elements of Flex...)
I think, the best way is a pdf file which includes all the needed data. The problem is that I don't know exactly what software combination fulfills my requirements... I read some things about Adobe Flex and AIR and the U3D format and I suppose, the great interface builder "Flash Builder 4" might be useful to generate a nice user interface. BUT: I was not able to find out, how to include U3D in Flex/AIR.
Then I found the nice pdf library iText (http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=chapters) which is able to produce a pdf file from a swf file and to include a U3D-model with an additional JavaScript file for manipulations.
BUT again: If I have a swf flash file with the nice user interface (generated with the Flash Builder), how can I access the U3D model in the final pdf document? Imagine: I click on a "rotate" button in the swf and then the U3D-Model in the pdf should rotate...
Ok, as you can see, it is a complex szenario.
My questions summarized:
What, in your opinion, is the best technology for my task? Flex? AIR?
How can I import the U3D-models? Should I use PaperVision, Sandy3D or something else?
Is there a way to save user inputs directly in the pdf file, or as new pdf file or as xml file?
What is the best way to produce the user interface? Flashbuilder, or maybe a html container with "normal" html interface elements and then the events communication between JavaScript and ActionScript?
How can I export all the stuff to one pdf document? Should I use iText?
Best regards,
Steven

Thanks for making my point - perfect is the enemy of good. We tolerate less capable, less perfect system that are in place now, because of the false expectation that it should be perfect. Incremental improvements are rejected, because they are not perfect. Even an imperfect algorithm can find 'Broken' as a common thread in your example, and highlight them for the clinician to evaluate their impact on the current treatment. This no less likely to miss the connection than a clinician trying to scan through handwritten notes, in the 5 - 10 minutes he/she has to interact with the patient and determine what to do.
Because of legal concerns, incremental but imperfect improvements don't get implemented, so nothing ever moves forward. Imagine if after the Wright Brothers first flight, no improvements were considered acceptable unless they completely eliminated the risk of failure - there wouldn't be any airlines to go bankrupt today!
For the most part, IT has focused on activities where 'perfect' is achievable. Accounting in its various forms have been the primary focus of most IT systems. In that area, the vocabulary is very limited, well defined, and consistent. A debit is always a debit, and a credit is always a credit. Medicine is completely different. It is much larger in scope, poorly defined, the vocabularies are mostly non-existent, and where they exist are incomplete and inconsistent. Despite the huge leaps forward in the last century, there is still more unknown than known about how and why the body works. This environment makes most individuals trained in IT uncomfortable. Until we learn how to deal with 'fuzzy', Healthcare IT is going to be limited to the billing and collection functions that it mostly accomplishes today.

Flex Air Apps on Blackberry

I've had a Flex Air app on Playbook since it Adobe first supported Blackberry. But, I haven't had a client requirement for deploying to Blackberry in a long time. What is the status on Adobe's support for Blackberry? On the Air Dev Center, I see no references to Blackberry anymore???
Can I still build a cross-platform app for latest Blackberry devices (Blackberry 10, Playbook, etc.) using the standard Flex mobile components and Flash Builder 4.6?
After a brief search on Blackberry's Air page, it looks like they moved to requiring the QNX components, ANEs and a new pure AS3 SDK only. If I have to re-write code specific for Blackberry now, then it makes no sense for me to offer that to my clients. (unless they only want BB).
So, where does Adobe stand now with Flex Mobile in Flash Builder deploying to Blackberry 10 and the Playbook?
I'd appreciate if you could help bring me back up to speed.
Thanks,
Don

Absolutely, Flex works very well indeed and is fully supported on BlackBerry PlayBook and BB10 devices. The free packaging module for Flash Builder is part of the BB SDK for AIR and is supplied by RIM, not by Adobe.
With Flex you'll of course be using Adobe UI components, which look less native than the BB-supplied "pure AS3" UI components unless you skin them. But they work just fine.

IOS 6.0 simulator error / Flex+AIR 3.5

I am not able to run a Flex/AIR program on the IOS 6.0 simulator. I searched all forums. I am new to using IOS simulator. Any help is appreciated.
I am using Flex 4.6 and AIR 3.5, with target swf version 18. A simple Flex app (WindowedApplication with a Label in it) crashes at initialization in IOS simulator.

PDF Not loading anymore on Flex Air Application

Hi,
Ever since I updated my Adobe Readed to Version 11, I can't view any PDF on my Flex Air Application anymore. Is there anything i need to do?
AIR version: 3.6
OS: Mac OS X
Flex Builder: 4.6
Adobe Reader: 11.0.02
Flex components used: mx:HTML
Please help.
Thanks!

Yes. This is a well known bug in Air/Google Maps. A lot of folks reported it on the Google Maps forums and here. It was reported over a year ago with no action yet. Major show stopper.
For this main reason, I switched to the http://developer.mapquest.com AS3 API. Plus they also recently released a Mobile Flash API that works great.
I suggest you check it out because I don't anticipate any action on this issue on either side any time soon.
Good luck!
Don

QTP with flex/air addin hangs during test execution

While executing the QTP tests (version 11.0) that includes Flex/Air plug in on a Flex/Air application, it simply hangs for no reason.
Any resolutions to this is appreciated.

Hey Guys,
This is strange. But it got resolved, after renaming the Sap.txt file in QC to SAP.txt and adding and deleting this library file multiple times from the application SAPDOC.
if SAP TAO development team is reading this, guys you need to sort this problem out, coz there was no real reason of failure and then it got resolved on its own.

Is it possible to converted Presenter 7 to a FLEX / AIR desktop app?

I have an Adobe Presenter 7 course with multiple modules. These are PowerPoint files converted to flash with Presenter 7. I want to make them available as desktop applications by using Flex / Air. Can this be done?
I am a novice in these applications, but a quick learner. Please let me know if it is possible and kindly point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help.
Bob

Wow, thanks so much Bob - that is some absolutely fantastic information.
I converted one of my Presenter courses to a fully functional EXE file in about 5 minutes with the SWF Maestro Exe trial! I have been trying for years to find a solution to turn my Presenter files into single, flat file and that seems to do exactly what I need.
Your sample training course is really nice - you did a great job with it! I know how much work it can be to get the PPT file, transitions and audio to work just right like you have. I have 15 eLearning files that have hundreds of hours of work on each one!
