Make a screenshot in adobe air?

Hello , how to make a screenshot and save it, in fact I saw a program called webkurt that does that please help me!

You can only take a screenshot of content within the Adobe AIR application.
If you are using Flex, you can use the JPEGEncoder class to encode a BitmapData object into a byte array of JPEG data.
If you are using Flash, you can use the JPEGEncoder class found in the corelib project (http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/).
If you are using HTML, look at the code in this sample application: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/ajax/quickstart/jpeg_file_upload.html.

Adobe air apps cannot be installed

Hi,
I have trouble with my PC to install any kind of adobe air app. When I start to install a Adobe air app, I get the UAC request and I confirm it but then the Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 is hanging and doing nothing.
When I repeat the process another Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 instance is started.
Here is my equipment and what I tried:
Equipment:
Windows 7 professional SP1 64 -Bit
- Reinstalling Adobe air with Revo Uninstaller(cleaning registry) and installing it new with Admin rights.
- Installing Adobe air in Windows XP Sp3 mode
- Multiple apps were tried and when I start them with the SDK, they are working fine.
- No information are available in the windows eventlogs
Any idea how to solve it or any possibility to start a debug tool to get more information?
Thank you in advance for any input and help!
Cheers,
Dominik

Hi Chris,
I appreciate your support!
Sadly the Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It tool does not work, adobe air is still hanging during the app installation.
This is what I have done:
1. Uninstall Adobe air with the Microsoft Tool
2. Install Adobe air new
3. Try to install the app SmartClient.air -> Did not work
4. Try to install the app DesktopiPhone.air -> Did not work
Now I have 4 Adobe air instance in the task manager(see screenshot)

Adobe Air vs HTML5 vs Native in Mobile Development

Just now, I read an article "HTML5 vs. Native: What`s a Mobile Developer to Do?" (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/HTML5-vs-Native-Whats-a-Mobile-Developer- to-Do-648997/), and this make me think of Adobe AIR.
For those of you who have used Adobe AIR to develop mobile apps, how do you think about it's performance, features/functionality (API), and stability as compare with HTM5 done with phonegap?
Please share your experience and opinion here. Thanks.

Photoshop Elements 8 and Adobe Air will not exe after installation

I am currently running elements 8. Since yesterday the photoshop elements editor will not execute, but crashing after it tries to initiates TWAIN.
I have been uninstalling and reinstalling since yesterday.
1. I have deleted elements preferences.
2. I have used my utility drive to clean up clutter and excess files.
3. I have cleaned my registry using Systems Mechanic
4. I have installed the program from the desktop.
5. I have copied the execution file to the desktop to use as a shortcut.
6. I have turned off all devices and drivers that might be interfering and installed in simple mode.
7. I have updated my drivers.
8. I have tried the repair function
9. I have removed the program manually to ensure nothing is lingering and then tried reinstalling.
10. I have tried Systems Restore.
11. I am in the process of defragmenting my hard drive
12. I have tried installing from the D: drive
After all of this nothing has worked, and to make matters worse, now Adobe Air is crashing.
Is there anything else that I have not tried that might remedy this problem.
I have the program on another computer and it works fine.

Go into the program files (program files(x86) for a 64-bit system), find the Elements 8 folder and within that Plug-ins>ImportModules and delete the Adobe TWAIN plugin. (You may have trouble scanning directly into the editor after doing this)

Can you wrap a Muse export in Adobe Air to make a desktop application?

Hello,
I was just wondering if it is possible to wrap a Muse HTML folder (whole export) in Adobe Air to make a desktop application? I have managed to wrap the business catalyst URL that Muse gives you temporarily and made a desktop application. As this is temporary is it possible to wrap the entire project (HTML)?
I'm very new to this so i hope this all makes sense.
Thanks in advance,
SPolly

You are not wasting your time. It can be done...
In order to wrap C++ for use by C, you must write wrapper functions declared with 'extern "C"' linkage for every C++ method you intend to call directly from C. This must be done using a C++ compiler. Once linked into a new library, any C exectuable or C library should be able to link this new library and call the wrapper functions you have declared 'extern "C"'.
If you still need more help, I would advise you to post in a C++ language forum perhaps. Best of luck, not that you should need it though... -Ralph

if you try to install an app that depends on adobe air, you should be prompted to download and install adobe air (unless it's already installed).
you can download and install directly so you're not prompted by that app, Adobe - Adobe AIR

Help: I need to make air.worker to work in my HTML only adobe air

I need to make air.worker to work in my HTML only adobe air. I see airAliases.js has those definition.
There is no guide or tutorial in how to use them. Can someone direct me example of how to use them?
Also worker do not work in Adobe air.
/* Main thread
var worker = air.Worker('assets/js/test.js');
// Setup an event listener that will handle messages received from the worker.
worker.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
// Log the workers message.
alert(e.data);
console.log(e.data);
}, false);
worker.postMessage('Hello World');
/* File: test.js
// Setup an event listener that will handle messages sent to the worker.
self.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
// Send the message back.
self.postMessage('You said1: ' + e.data);
}, false);
above code work in ff browser but do not work in adobe air preview mode. It say worker not defined. Is it same as air.worker?

I have no experiance with workers in AIR, but I think you are assuming that things work like HTML5 web workers, which they do not. Check out the ActionScript3 dpcs to see how they work:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Worker.htm l
Not sure how you can bridge the webkit environment with AS3 workers. Seems to be unchartered territory.

Accidentally associated Adobe AIR file with Acrobat, now an otherwise easily fixed problem has been causing me far too much anger.

I accidentally associated an Adobe AIR file to open Adobe Acrobat in it's stead, now an otherwise easily fixed problem has been causing me far too much anger.
Basically I downloaded an .air file after recently reformatting my computer, and I tried to open it with Acrobat. Now, since there is no actual application and or shortcut created by AIR I can't just tell the file to use that. I've found that I'm not alone in this issue, have tried a few things I've read on both this forum and others, and have come to no resolution as of yet. This file isn't anything of any great significance, but it bugs me so much that at this point I just want to know how to fix this and win this little battle.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

Thank JJMack - that has helped me get closer to the problem.
I opened the resource monitor and you can see a screenshot of what is going on when I try to save a simple, 9 Kb graphic. (I'm saving an RGB JPG, not a PNG or animated GIF file. Doing anything complex / memory intensive than saving or simple edits in PS is almost impossible.)
As you can see from the screencap below, when I save (it doesn't make a difference if it is save vs. save to web or a network or local drive) Photoshop becomes unresponsive. (From past experiences, if I try to switch to a non-Adobe program it will also freeze and sometimes crash.) When PS becomes unresponsive, the NT Kernel & System immediately goes to the top of the list and uses 200+ threads.
From there Photoshop will typically be frozen for about a minute, then will recover and take another minute or two to finish the save. At that point PS is okay, but the rest of the computer is still frozen with CPU oscillating up to almost 100%.
As soon as the NT Kernel & System settles down, everything is back to normal again (as long as I haven't used other programs, which in one case required a hard reboot.)
It is pretty clear the problem is rooted in Adobe / Window 7 as I only have this problem with Adobe programs. (Illustrator isn't as bad, but I've had problems with it as well.)
The question is: How do I fix this, as it is killing my ability to work?
Thanks! Julie

Commerical adobe air application built using Robohelp - thoughts on software protection

Hello Forum,
I am in the process of building a commerical software application - a niche business methodology (processes, tools, templates) - and for which I naturally want to apply *some* level of protection against unauthorized copying. The two main requirements I have are:
1. That the software package itself cannot be installed any number of times on any number of machines (as is currently the case with the adobe air output for distribution).
2. That large chunks of the content cannot be copied and pasted
Here is where my thoughts are so far:
1. There are a number of third party providers in this space. The ones i have idenftifed so far are: LimeLM, NitroLM, Excel Software's AirLicense and Zarqon. There is also something called Sharify out there but from the site and lack of developer response I think this is now dormant. All of these provide a means of locking down one license to one device but that can be transferred if the user loses and changes their device. Has anyone had any experience of these or other solution providers?
2. As I understand it there is html code that can be added to disable copy and paste. Does anyone know what this is? Does anyone know how to apply it?
Finally: we are a small start up without in-house technical skills. This was a major reason we chose RoboHelp as a solution - it meant that the software could be build by us, the subject matter experts who were creating the content. Does anyone know of a good place to crowd-source the technical skill set required to apply both the solutions to 1 and 2 described above?
We are using RoboHelp 9 with Adobe Air desktop application output.
Thanks in advance for any constructive comments - and best wishes to you and yours for 2013!
Felix

Perhaps it's time to take stock of the requirement, what has been established and your options given where you are.
Requirements
You want protection against multiple installs.
You don't want users to be able to copy and paste the content.
Established
Neither of those are built in to AIR Help.
To build them in you would have to create your own AIR application as the RoboHelp code for creating the AIR installer is locked down. Confirmed by Scott Prentice on HATT.
You do not have an house AIR developer.
Options
Tackling Requirement 1 is going to require a developer to replicate what Adobe have done and add the extra requirement that the installer can only run once.
Given the hours that Adobe put into this and with the resources at their disposal, I have to question the commercial viability of that.
A customer could legitimately need to reinstall, for instance in the case of a hard drive failure.
Perhaps my earlier suggestion of finding someone who can wrap up the AIR file in something that deletes it after installation, thereby preventing a second installation, would be viable. You would need to investigate that and do it in a way the customer can get a fresh download where a further installation is legitimate.
Otherwise I think you need to be looking at a very different approach. Your problem is the same one that Adobe face. You will recall that when you installed RoboHelp you had to activate it. That authorises the use of RoboHelp on a specific machine. The licence authorises installation on a second machine and that has to be activated too. Attempt a third activation and you will get a polite refusal until you deactivate an earlier installation. What you need is a commercial organisation to supply your product in a similar way. The trouble there is your product is not an application in the same way as RoboHelp.
You could use the WebHelp output and apply password protection to your site but again you are going to require development skills. Even then, you are relying on your customers not to reveal the password and that sounds like a No No as you don't trust them not to copy and paste the information.
Copy and paste is difficult to prevent. There are tools for web sites that would likely work in webhelp but you also have to prevent screenshots being permitted. Ultimately, going to state secret espionage levels, how do you prevent someone taking a photo of the screen? It's more about making it difficult to do casually rather than making it impossible. A high brick wall around your house makes entry difficult and deters most from attempting entry, it does not make it impossible.
I am sorry this is all negative but the root problem is your approach was wrong given these requirements. Unless someone else has other ideas, I think you need some commercial consultancy for information on how to get this idea off the ground and that is way beyond what this forum offers. Perhaps you could approach Scott Prentice at http://www.leximation.com for such assistance but I think it would be on a fee paying basis. Scott is a very knowledgeable person in many areas and he is very approachable.

"Please contact your administrator" - I AM the Administrator! (Adobe AIR)

I'm having endless frustrations with trying to install Adobe AIR on my Macbook. I'm running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
After launching the Adobe AIR installer file, it takes a while before a window appears citing an error (see attached screenshot).
The problem is that there is only ONE account on my Macbook and it IS set as the admin account. I have double checked and triple checked that the account has admin priviliges.
Since the last few days have fallen over the holidays and it's the weekend now, I've been unable to reach Adobe technical support by phone. Please help in solving this.

I just spent days going through this. I had tried everything, even logging is at the root (Systems Administrator). I ran the uninstaller I don't know how many times, I ran the command line prompts. I was getting pretty frustrated and a bit angry about the whole thing. Then I saw the suggestion to look at my log files:
/private/var/log/system.log
When I took a peek at the log file from the install I found something very interesting:
Jul 9 20:27:24 /Volumes/Adobe AIR 1/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe AIR Installer[1088]: error during install: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Unhandled exception Error: Could not create directory /Applications/Adobe/Flash Player/AddIns/airappinstaller" errorID=3010]
So I went to the directory Applications and found there was an old text file called "Adobe". I renamed that text file, than ran the Adobe AIR installer and it WORKED!!!
So make sure you take a peek at the log files at:
/private/var/log/system.log
Thanks!

My Mac will not let me install any software I download. In some cases (Like quicktime) i get a message that says "Can't create the folder" I have it with adobe air and its creating all sorts of issues. My software is up to date and I have 10.8.2.

A whole bunch of issues here.
I can't install any software. It started when iPlayer stopped working at all. This led me to try to update software versions such as Adobe Air to 3.5 (Failed) then quicktime player 7.6.6 as recommended (Failed) then the printer packed up and I have tried to install the downloaded software drivers for Canon from the Apple site (Failed again)
In all cases they let me download so I have the file, but not install.
Quicktime tells me it can't install a file "/var/folders/15....then a long string of numbers....ending in T//install.1347YKihUc".
The Canon Print Driver has a very similar message.
Adobe Air says "An error occurred whilst installing....contact my administrator" which is me and I am fine with it ;-)
Remember this all started because my iPlayer (and my printer) just stopped working and I have been trying to fix those.
I am a bit techy but not much.
Can anyone assist?
Many Thanks.

I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

Adobe AIR Runtime Redistribution and Native Installer

Will there be new instructions for Adobe AIR 2.0 Runtime Redistribution? In particular, I'm looking for instructions on how to use the runtime redistribution installer to perform a "side-car installation" of AIR 2 alongside an application that uses the NativeProcess API (and so must be built into a native installer instead of a .air file).
Thanks!

Thirded!
On a test deployment using SCCM and the supplied Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files, we have managed to install our application with the 1.5.3 Air Framework with no major issues other than having to disable the Auto Update feature that doesnt really work in a corporate environment. Everything was absolutely fine until the release of AIR 2. Now, the test machines are prompted to install the updated Adobe Air 2 framework once a week, see an excerpt from an Adobe blog post below:
"In addition, once a week AIR apps check to see if an AIR update is available, and if so, users are presented with the option to update to the most up‐to‐date version, helping to ensure that end users get the benefits of improved security and performance."
That sounds great right? Except my users (like many other corporate users) don't have Admin permissions on their machines (hence the use of SCCM), with the result being resultant error messages when a user attemptes to install the AIR framework update without the necessary permissions.
All of the above would be fine if the Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files were updated to include the latest version of the runtime. This of course hasn't been done yet - does anyone know when this may happen? Can anyone help me with this or offer any advice?
I hope the above makes sense and I would really appreciate any help or advice!
Thanks!
