Is Adobe AIR needed to run panels?
I notice in the User Guide that Adobe AIR is needed to run the Adobe Configurator 1.0. Is this only required at the time you develop panels or is AIR runtime needed on a machine on which you install an already developed panel?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks..
Rob
No. AIR is not required to run panels. In fact, you cannot run AIR projects as a panel in Photoshop CS4. You can use AIR to create a standalone app to control creative suite applications using SwtichBoard. http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/SwitchBoard

The popup says An Adobe AIR update is ready to be installed.
I'm not sure it's really a message from Adobe.
I may not have any need to use AIR if it was installed on my computer by Lenovo or Windows 8.1.
My last computer had a popup that was, I think, a worm which told me I needed to update Flash Player Pro.
So, I'm nervous now about popup messages. I wish all legitimate programs could have options to Automatically install updates.
Can someone tell me if the popup sounds legitimate? Some programs give you a third option of No Thanks but this one just has a box to click for Update Now and a box for Update Later.
Thanks.Shouldn't be a problem. Just like Windows Update, Adobe AIR needs to update itself periodically. Just click Update Now to update to the latest version.

Conversion to Adobe Air application to run on desktop?
Hi all,
I watched the Adobe tutorials and the presenter said that flash is more for designers wheras flex is more for developers. I would like to know if:
1. It's possible to convert a flash application to an adobe air application to run on desktop? If so, how? (I really need to know this! )
2. Besides development time, what else is the advantages of flex over flash? (also, is the claim that flex is faster to develop true?)
3. Is there any tutorials on how to use Adobe Air? Is it a compiler or some sort?
A few long questions here but i really hope you can take the time to answer them for me. Whatever feedback would be very much appreciated! Cheers!Hi Chien
1) Sure you can develop AIR with flash, here a link to get you quickly started: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flash/getting_started.html
2) Advantage of Flex over Flash:
- Less development time (if done right, no problems with layout, history, management)
- Data driven applications can be done quicker with Flex then with Flash
- There is absolutely nothing that you can't do with Flex over Flash, but to enhance the look & feel of the Flex components (buttons, panels) you can use Flash to skin and design.
3) Look above step 1.
Have fun

Adobe AIR Needed on Android / iOS to Run Adobe Flex Apps
Hi all,
I want to confirm if the user has to install Adobe AIR before launching Adobe Flex apps on Android and iOS Devices. Is there any way that we could embedd Adobe AIR setup in the app file so that the user dont have to hastle in installing Adobe AIR.
TaimurIt gives you only three options:
Signed packages for each target platform.
Signed AIR package for installation on desktop.
Intermediate AIRI package that must be signed later.
For mobile apps, we need to select the first option to get the .apk and .ipa file as the second option would generate .air file. None of the options offer to package AIR runtime. Only the first option gives you the option on NEXT window to include the download link of AIR Runtime.
If i am wrong, kindly point me to that specific checkbox.
OR do i have to put Runtime.apk in the assets folder of my source code so that it gets packaged? -
Can't Install Adobe AIR - Need Admin Permission.
I can't install Adobe AIR on my Windows XP as it the error message says I need to contact the administrator.
RE:
"An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
I am the owner of my PC so the amin should be myself but do not know how to do this.
I tried the right-click on the Adobe icon on my desktop to access the admin log in, but I am unable to do this as it won't accept any passwords I entered.
I need to by-pass the admin or find a way to access my admin. I think I read somewhere that Adobe may have an apllication for this but could not find it.
Anyone have any idea how to get this application running on my PC?I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR. Microsoft has just released a new utility that can help resolve installation problems. Would you mind giving this a try and let us know how it works for you? When running the Fix it, go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system. Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.
Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It
If you still encounter problems, we'll need to review the AIR installer log to better diagnose the issue. Please post back with the log contents. You can find instructions for finding these logs here:

Is Adobe Air needed for Photoshop elements 12?
I need some space for my computer and was just wondering if I needed adobe air in order to run Photoshop smoothly.An answer would really help.
Adobe Air is used for Help Files and so yes it is needed if you are going to use online help system
Anyway. it occupies very little space by modern standards. What is the size of your HD? Are you sure your system meets the minimum systems requirement?
There are pdf files you can download and store them in flash drive as your help files but your use of PSE won't be very good using this method IMHO. -
Use Firefox. Have BBC iPlayer which will not load, saying I need a newer version of Adobe Air: when trying to instal Adobe Air, get message saying I already have a more recent version. It worked when I was using IE, but not since changing to Firefox.
Hi there,
stumbled on this conversation after having problems myself.
After lots of trial and error, I was finally able to install iPlayer on my MacBook Pro.
Firstly remove Adobe Air (Applications, Utilities, Adobe Air Uninstaller).
Reboot (not sure if it is needed but it is what I did).
Download Adobe Air 2.5 from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
Then retry installing iPlayer from the BBC webpage. I ignored the prompt from Adobe Air to upgrade to the latest version (3.1). -
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.

No Adobe air app will run Only Flash Web browser....
So I have re-installed Flash Builder So when I try and run a Adobe air app from the Flash Builder It brings up a prompt everytime saying - If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run. When I kill the Adobe Air debugger in the Task manager it pops up again saying If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
After waiting a few moments from trying again I get a message: Unable to connect to the Application to fetch profile data. Please try profiling the application again.
With Flash based - web browser apps - they run fine with no issue. How ever its only adobe air - desktop apps that run this way. This is the third time I have installed FB 4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit. last night it was all woprking fine I was able to debug my Flash Application and everything was working - it has been doing this all day.I had the same issue suddenly today
After hours of scratching my head - and just before re-installing FlashBuilder 4.5 - I found this suggestion
I had an entry in the "mm.cfg" file:
PreloadSWF=C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9us94hs0.default\e xtensions\[email protected]\chrome\content\flashfirebug\flashfirebug.swf

Is Adobe AIR needed if no cloud is used?
Do I need Adobe AIR? I have the whole Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 suite but I don't use any cloud services nor plan to. If Acrobat and Photoshop ever go only the way of Adobe Cloud (which seems to be) then for the 1st time in my history with Adobe I think I will go with its competitors--but that's another issue.
Unless something is indicating you need to install Adobe AIR, you don't need to install it. There are many applications that you might acquire that could require having it installed, so don't be surprised if something unrelated to Adobe requires you to download AIR to make use of it. I believe even some Adobe applications make use of AIR, like updaters and whatnot, so you might see something asking for it if you pursue having a feature.

Adobe Air needs HTTP gzip compression
Hello
We are developing an Adibe Air application. We use SOAP for
service calls and we depend entirely upon gzip HTTP compression to
make the network performance even vaguely acceptable. SOAP is such
a fat format that it really needs gzip compression to get the
responses down to a reasonable size to pass over the Internet.
Adobe Air does not currently support HTTP gzip compression
and I would like to request that this feature be added ASAP. We
can't release our application until it can get reasonable network
performance through HTTP gzip compression.
Thanks
AndrewHi blahxxxx,
Sorry for the slow reply -- I wanted to take some time to try
this out rather than give an incomplete response.
It's not built into AIR, but if you're using
Flex/ActionScript for your application you can use a gzip library
to decompress a gzipped SOAP response (or any other gzipped
response from a server -- it doesn't have to be SOAP). Danny
Patterson gives an example of how to do that here:
http://blog.dannypatterson.com/?p=133
I've been prototyping a way to make a subclass of the Flex
WebService class that has this built in, so if I can get that
working it would be as easy as using the Flex WebService component.
I did some tests of this technique, just to see for myself if
the bandwidth savings is worth the additional processing overhead
of decompressing the gzip data. (The good news is that the
decompression part is built into AIR -- just not the specific gzip
format -- so the most processor-intensive part of the gzip
decompression happens in native code.)
Here is what I found:
I tested this using the
http://validator.nu/ HTML validator
web service to validate the HTML source of
http://www.google.com/. This
isn't a SOAP web service, but it does deliver an XML response
that's fairly large, so it's similar to SOAP.
The size of the payload (the actual HTTP response body) was
5321 bytes compressed, 45487 bytes uncompressed. I ran ten trials
of each variant. All of this was done in my home, where I have a
max 6Mbit DSL connection. In the uncompressed case I measured the
time starting immediately after sending the HTTP request and ending
as soon as the response was received. In the compressed case I
started the time immediately after sending the HTTP request and
ended it after receiving the response, decompressing it and
assigning the compressed content to a ByteArray (so the compressed
case times include decompression, not just download). The average
times for ten trials were:
Uncompressed (text) response: 1878.6 ms
Compressed (gzip) response: 983.1
Obviously these will vary a lot depending on the payload
size, the structure of the compressed data, the speed of the
network, the speed of the computer, etc. But in this particular
case there's obviously a benefit to using gzipped data.
I'll probably write up the test I ran, including the source,
and post it on my blog. I'll post another reply here once I've done
that. -
Help: Adobe air malfunctioned when run on vista
Hi All:
Here I meet one problem.
I build an Air with Flash CS3 professional. After it
installed on Windows xp system, everything work fine.
But when installed on Windows vista system, if changing the
time to Nov 2. 2008, the air won't work(URLLoader always meet
ioError).
if we changing the time to Nov 1. 2008, the air works(No
ioError problem).
My environment is
Adobe Air runtime 1.1
Developing tool : Flash CS3 professtional with
flash9-en_US_9_0_2_Update.exe, flash9-en_US_9_0_3_Update.exe and
AIRSDKIntegrationKit.zip updated to build air.
If anyone can give me some suggestion about how to solve the
problem , it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
vincentHi Brent:
Yes, it's true. I use URLLoader connect to a https website.
Based on your answer is that means if I change the OS system
time will caused certificate fail at the server?
Actually, I don't feel there is any thing wrong with the
following code.
The following is the general code I used.
var loginUrl:String = "https://servername" + "/" + login +
"?account=" + account + "&username=" + username +
"&password=" + passwordData ;
var loginReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loginUrl);
loginReq.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loginProcess);
loader.addEventListener("ioError", errorHandler);
if(loader != null){
loader.load(loginReq);
function errorHandler(){
//Note: always get this function invoked in tthe case, which
mean ioError. We also print the error code of the event , its
always #2032 .
function loginProcess () {
Thanks

Issue getting a Adobe Air app to run.
I'm trying to run a app called Finetune, and sense it wouldn't run from shortcut so I copied and paste its command into terminal and it had this to say:
Code:
ME:~$ '/opt/Finetune'/'FinetuneDesktop'/bin/'FinetuneDesktop'
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
The module is installed and for the fun of it I attempted to use getlib on the command (probably did it wrong too):
Code:
ME:~$ getlibs '/opt/Finetune'/'FinetuneDesktop'/bin/'FinetuneDesktop'
This application isn't missing any dependencies
Any thoughts?
I would like to add I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) 64bit and have posted this issue on the Ubuntu Community forums, thus far no luck...Although finetune's site seems to reconize that Finetune Player is installed it just won't launch.Since this is a development question related to installing software not directly from the App store, I suggest you post this in the developer forum here:https://discussions.apple.com/community/developer_forums

JamieHi Jamie,
The install log looks fine, but the last entry was September 9th. I suspect the crash is occuring before the new log entries can be made.
Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? We'll want to get a crash dump so we can try to figure out what might be causing this to happen. You didn't mention what OS you were running, but I found this tech doc on the net that describes how do generate the .dmp file:

Need Adobe Air To Install Adobe Air
While trying to install another product my MacBook Pro i7 OS X verizion 10.7.2 informed me that it needed Adobe Air to install completely, so i travled to the Adobe page and downloaded Adobe Air, when trying to install this product I was informed that Adobe Air needed Adobe Air to be installed.
Attention Mac 10.7.2 users that are crashing with Adobe AIR
We are aware of the crashing that can occur with late model Apple computers running 10.7.2 and are working closely with Apple to address this. In the meantime here are a couple of workarounds you can use:
Open System Preferences, select Energy Saver and disable Automatic graphics switching (or use a third party GPU switcher, such as gfxCardStatus and enable the Nvidia GPU)
Before launching your AIR based application, launch either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this resolved soon.
