Identical flex-air applications do not compile

I'm having terrible difficulty with writing Air Applications for compiling with the flex 3.2 SDK.
I have two identical basic flex air applications, but one will not compile, the other will.
When I try to run the application from flex builder the first app runs fine while the second one doesn't.
any ideas?

I've just about had enough of flex builder's bs. tbh.

Hi Randy, This forum really isn't the place to try to get support on app compilation. We try to keep discussion here to development of the SDK itself. I'd suggest looking at the regular Flex forums or flexcoders and posting more details as to the error you're seeing.

AIR application do not compile

Hi All,
I created a new AIR Application in my Flex Builder Version 3 (build 3.0.2.214193). Say, the name of the new AIR application is 'Test10'. So the main mxml file is created autimatically as;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
</mx:WindowedApplication>
Now I run this application and I get a empty window. So far so good..
Now I change the code a bit as;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
</mx:Application>
And now when I run the application, I don't get the window. I deleted the content of the bin-debug folder and executed it again. But I don't see Test10.swf file generated in bin-debug. I don't see any problem or console window too..
Any idea as why this happens???
Thanks

If you use mx:Application in your AIR app, the app will not display. You must use WindowedApplication as your root tag.
I agree that we don't provide good feedback, but this would have required some special-casing in the compiler which we have tried to avoid.

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!

Call JSFL from Flex Air application

Hi,
I have a Flex Air application that converts old style flash
text var txt files into XML. As part of the process it creates a
jsfl file that when run will automate through older FLAs and
upgrade them with changes required.
My question is this. Using the command
fl.runScript(locationOfJSFLscript) in flash, it will automatically
call the script and execute it. How do I do the same in Flex? i.e.
I have a button in the application. I press it and it sends the
call to run the script.
Thank you

Of course you may have some unstated reason for doing this in Air, but if not...

I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Application.cfc not compiling

My application.cfc not compiling. I'm using application.cfc
first time, i'm used to using application.cfm, but now trying to
switch.
I've attached the code. Application.cfc is not being executed
for some reason.
My environment:
win2008
cf8
iis7
Thank you,
Syed

> application.cfc is not listed in Execution file list
like application.cfm. Non

OK, thanks clarifying that.
Application.cfc will only be listed in the debugging if
there's an event
handler to be run; if you don't have an onRequestStart
handler, it won't be
running anything _every request_.
I suspect you - and jbird5k - have both added code to your
onApplicationStart event handler after the application had
already started.
The onApplicationStart event handler is only run ONCE during
the life of
the application (IE: when it's first hit after the CF service
starts).
For changes to onApplicationStart to be run, you need to
restart your
application.
I think it was BKBK who suggested that the quickest way to do
this is to
change the name of the application - temporarily - so that CF
thinks it's a
different application. Or just restarting CF.
It might be an idea to add an onRequestStart event handler
which checks for
a restartApp URL variable, and if found and if true, re-run
onApplicationStart(). This means less monkeying with your
code or CF to
get the app to restart.

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.

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.

Flex 4.5.1 AIR application is not running on iPhone 3gs

I developed an iOS application in Flash builder 4.5 with flex 4.5.1 extension using AIR 2.6. This application is successfully installed on iPhone4G. When I tried to install it on iPhone 3GS it say, this application is not compatible with this iPhone.
My iPhone 3GS is running iOS 4.2.1
Is the iOS version 4.2.1 is not supported for Flex iOS app development or there is any other issue. Please help, thanks in advance.

Yes AIR 2.6 is compatible with iOS 4.2.1.I'd recommend you update to the latest version of FB and AIR. You should download the free upgrade to Flash Builder 4.6 and build from there. It's much improved and AIR 3.x has better performance all around.
Regarding the incompatibility issue, you're absolutely sure you have an iPhone 3GS and not the 3G? They look nearly identical. One sure way to tell is to plug it into iTunes and see if you can upgrade the OS to the latest iOS 5.x. If you can't upgrade to iOS 5, then it's for sure a 3G and is not compatible with AIR 2.6+

HTTPService problem (ioerror #2032) in flex AIR application

Hi all,
I am using flex 4.5 Hero Sdk. Flex Builder plugin. Win7x64. Adobe Air 2.5.
I have a flex air project which contains 3 library projects included.
The project uses one of the included libraries for managing HttpService calls to a Tomcat server.
When I use "merge into code" option for building all projects there is no problem. I can both run in Adl and installed application (exe). HttpService calls works fine in both Adl and Air 2.5 runtime.
When I use Rsl option for building all projects I can run-debug in Adl However when I run the installed version (I mean this time running the application not with adl, but with Flex Air 2.5.x version installed in win7x64) this time HttpService calls to the server gives ioerror (Error#2032).
Some information I discovered (may not be related to the problem I stated above)
When using rsl option, "use local RSLs when debugging" option makes the difference. If this option is false, Adl cannot run the application.
I tried -use-network=true compiler option, but not sure if I did everything right while trying.
Shortly I think I need some knowledge for working with RSLs. So, can anybody help me?

Digitally Signing Flex/AIR Application

I am looking for some help with updating an AIR application with a renewed certificate.
The way that Adobe AIR handles digitally signed certificates is fairly confusing. I think it has changed with the release of AIR 1.5.3 and this change has caught us off guard and has resulted in some problems.
According to the Adobe website: Prior to AIR 1.5.3, signing an AIR application with a renewed certificate did not always require a migration signature. Starting with AIR 1.5.3, a migration signature is always required for renewed certificates.
Furthermore: The certificate must be changed before the original certificate expires. If you do not create an update signed with a migration signature before your certificate expires, users will have to uninstall their existing version of your application before installing a new version. As of AIR 1.5.3, an expired certificate can be used to apply a migration signature within a 180 day grace period after the certificate has expired. (You cannot use the expired certificate to apply the main application signature.).
See:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7cca
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS13ACB483-1711-43c0-9049-0A7251630A7D.htm l
BOTTOM LINE:
We did not create a "migration signature" within the 180 grace period because we had no updates (bug fixes or enhancements) to our application during this time. When I finally did prepare a new release of our application and signed it with our new certificate, the Adobe installer is not recognizing the new application as an UPDATE of the old application so when you try to install it, the user gets an error message that an application that the same name is already installed. In the past, the installer recognizes the new application as an update and it replaces the old app. I think there may be a way for me to handle this properly, but all of my attempts so far have not produced the results I am looking for.
The issues may be related to specifying a Publisher ID. We may need to specify the publisherId in the descriptor.xml file, which we have never had to do in the past. However, the publisherId property may only be available in 1.5.3. I have been having trouble specifying the 1.5.3 name space (<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.3">). I think that must only be available for newer versions of the compiler. I am currently using 3.5.
Are there any experts on this topic that can explain How I can package my updated app so that the installer recognizes it as an UPDATE and not a NEW APP with the same name (which doesn't work)?

Any ideas on this?

How to Add Input Values into a XML in Flex AIR Application

I need a help, now I am developing a flex windows AIR application, in this I am displaying data using a xml file,
I have some input fields in my application,if the application user filled the input field and press submit button, the inputs
Should be stored in that xml. How can I do this using flex, can you anyone please provide me a sample file with tutorial.
Thanks in advance

You can use the "+" operator which is both the addition (number) and concatenation (string) operator. JavaScript makes the decision about how this operator will work by the type of the value of being processed. Two numbers JavaScript performs addition, character string and number, number and character string, or 2 character strings then concatenation.
If you just use the '+' operator and spaces, you will get extra spaces unless you add code to allow for null fields and adjusting the spacing or other punctuation as needed. You may also need to force numeric values to character stings or you might end up with an addition and not concatenation.
Adobe provided a example of a funciton to properly join 3 fields with full versions of Acrobat:
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
// convert passed strings to a string value
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
// assign a numeric value for presence of a given string(s)
var test = 0; // no passed strings
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // s1 has a value
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // s2 has a value
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // s3 has a value
// return appropriate combination based on passed strings
if (test == 0) return ""; // no stings passed
if (test == 1) return s1; // s1 only
if (test == 2) return s2; // s2 only
if (test == 3) return s1 + sep + s2; // s1 and s2
if (test == 4) return s3; // s3 only
if (test == 5) return s1 + sep + s3; // s1 and s3
if (test == 6) return s2 + sep + s3; // s2 and s3
if (test == 7) return s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3; // s1, s2, and s3

Open PS (CS-CS4) and load image from flex/air application?

Hello,
(Not sure wether to post this in the AIR forum or the FLEX forum?)
I am at a loss on how to get my simple application to work. I have a small desktop air application that simply opens Photoshop and runs an action. I used switchboard and the application ran great on PC and MAC. However it only worked for CS3, and CS4 not CS or CS2?. Plus the size of switchboard was a bit large for my small app. I am willing to live with that though . I am using Air with Flex and wanted to know if perhaps there is a beter approach? All the application does is open photoshop, loads an image, and runs an action. Can I do this for all versions of Photoshop using switchboard? Can I do this without switchboard and just use javascript. The big issue is the Air app needs to open Photoshop, and most of the examples have me open PS first and then execute a script located in the PS directory. This needs to work outside of the PS directory. Any examples are appreciated.
I have looked at the following:
- SwitchBoard : only works for CS3-CS4 (on my tests)
- PatchPanel: same issue, plus seperate SDKs
- ExtendScript: requires script to be run from PS not Air

Of course you may have some unstated reason for doing this in Air, but if not...

Can you call external exe file from Flex Air Application like notepad.exe

Im trying to make my Air Application open an External exe file anyone know if this can be done?

Hi,
If you want to share code between a flex app and AIR, you
could isolate the common bits as a swc file and link to the swc
from both the flex and air project.
Also, you could have the flex mxml file and air mxml file
load the same module (which has the same stuff as your original
flex application) using ModuleLoader.
Or, you could even load the swf of your flex application
using SWFLoader in your air mxml file.
Basically, check out creating flex libraries, modules and
runtime loading of swfs.

AIR application could not be installed...installer is damaged

Tzeng, thanks for the reply.
I am installing the AIR app on Windows XP. The AIR app is installing fine on all MAC systems, but not on Windows. The dates in the Windows systems are correct.
Where exactly (what is the "home" directory) on the Windows machine do I need to put the .airappinstall.log file?
Thanks.
