hi Sami,
The kuler desktop is great, nice work kuler team!!
Will kuler be providing the source to the air desktop, there
are few bugs I would like a shoot at. For your own record heres a
few problems I think could be addressed.
Bugs...
1: Tear offs,
When you use the tear off function there are a few UI bugs
that happen. One is that the MOUSE_UP or drop function does not
work properly and causes the swatch to appear behind the main AIR
apt or not at all if your not over the AIR apt. Two the fading
controls of the tear offs should be inside of the swatch to prevent
MOUSE_OVER bugs or you should make a hidden button that pads the
outer area of the swatch. The bug happens because of the tweening
of the alpha channel on the controls and causes a momentary laps of
MOUSE_OVER to MOUSE_OUT and make it flicker uncontrollably.
Requests.....
2. Since you have a login function why not alow for any of
the functionality of the site such as rating swatches, creating
swatches, commenting and saving swatches to a favorites panel?

Problems Running Kuler Desktop using Air (Mac)

I am having problems with Kuler Desktop which runs via Adobe
Air. I have tried reinstalling both, Adobe Air and Kuler Desktop,
without any luck. Air and Kuler both install without any errors.
Once I launch the application "Kuler Desktop" the color wheel just
spins in the center of the window with the message "sorry, no items
were found" at the top of the window. I can use my Kuler dashboard
widget just fine and since that works I don't think it's a
connection problem.
Am I missing something? Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi dmane,
Please try the following steps:
1. Go to user > Library > Preferences, delete
com.adobe.kuler.Desktop.[variable] folder
2. Go to user > Library > Application Support >
Adobe > AIR > ELS, delete com.adobe.kuler.Desktop.[variable]
folder.
3. Restart system and launch kuler desktop again.
Good luck!

Desktop AIR app debug build running from cache?

I'm new to flash builder (using 4.5 for os x) and I've been working on a desktop AIR app for the last week. I've been running into a strange issue when deugging my app. Every once and a while (maybe 4-5 times a day) after I make changes to my code and I make a new debug build, a much older version of the app runs when I run the app with or without the debugger, or even if I export for release. It's as though its running (or building) from the cache, except I'm building a desktop app and I'm not testing the swf on a browser. I've turned off "Build Automatically", cleaned the project and build again but no changes are reflected. I can't figure out how, but after cleaning, quitting flash builder, restarting, cleaning, building again, etc.. numerous times suddenly I will see the current version of the app back up and running. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to quickly resolve the issue, or what exactly is fixing it. Every time it seems like something else triggers FB to refresh the build. I can even run the debugger and step through my current code while seeing completely different results on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Anyone know what I may be missing? Are there settings I need to change besides "Build Automatically"? Thanks for your help,
Nick

Thanks for the answer. How exactly Flash Builder is running is a little clearer to me now. I checked and the timestamps were indeed being updated correctly.
This helped me to look elsewhere for the issue. I actually now think it may have to do with mobile home sync that I have going through OS X. Whenever the sync runs, FB seems to launch an outdated (as in hours ago) version of the app. Despite the fact that the sync is not pulling in new files, it seems to be the issue. If i stop the sync I start seeing the current version of the app again when I run the debugger. So I think its just the OS causing my problem (although I still don't completely understand why exactly the issue would manifest itself in FB). Fortunately I can recreate the issue every time I run the sync, so the problem is consistent at least!
Thanks again for your help.

Desktop AIR 2.5 application with transparency and embedded Flash with wmode transparency error

I'm working on a desktop AIR project using the 2.5 SDK (ADT) to create an application that combines html and flash content. My application is using systemChrome none and transparent true. I have an swf element in my html file that I have set to wmode transparent. Instead of the swf rendering with a transparent background and showing the desktop like the html content does, I'm seeing a black box that fills the area where the Flash element is embedded.
Can someone please assist me in removing this black square so that my flash content is rendered within the html file with a transparent background instead of a black background?
When the AIR application is set to transparent, the Flash content must have it's wmode set to either transparent or opaque. Opaque gives it a white background (the stage background color), but transparent seems to just give it a black background.
Thanks!

Ok fellas,
It appears that I have indeed answered my own question. So thanks... uh, me As I've now figured out, the entire AIR application is basically still a Flash based Display Object, one that can render html using webkit. That means that even though my main application is written in HTML I can still load swf files into the display list of the root applications native window using the Loader class.
I had mentioned earlier that this didn't work, but actually it did work I was just having an error. In my flash file I had a reference error because I was referencing stage.stageWidth in actionscript. This produces a typeError in the AIR runtime when I add this to the root display list. I was able to finally see this error by add the -nodebug command to my adl testing script (adl app.xml -nodebug). For whatever reason my AIR 2.5 adl would not produce air.trace calls to the cmd console without that -nodebug command, which is extremely ironic. So adding in the -nodebug command actually gave me my debug traces! Welcome to the world we live in folks... I also found out that my traces in the swf also trace out to the console when you add this command in there.
In addition, the reason I was not able to get the Loader class to work from javascript was because I was not using the correct addEventListener call. If you are familiar with Actionscript 3.0 (which luckily I am) you will recall that you have to add the event listener to the "contentLoaderInfo" object of the Loader variable you instanciate.
Here's a snippet of how I was able to do this as well as another link that is buried in the documentation that's useful:
var loader;
loader = new air.Loader();
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("test.swf");
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
loader.load( new air.URLRequest(file.url) );
function swfLoaded(evt) {
     air.trace(" SWF LOADED! Woohoo! ");
     air.trace( loader.numChildren );
     loader.width = 1000;
     loader.height = 800;
     loader.x = 0;
     loader.y = 0;
     window.nativeWindow.stage.addChild(loader);
This is a very useful article on creating nativeWindows and other things, such as creating Flash based display objects and adding them to the stage:

Woohoo!

How do I load new kuler themes into photoshop CS6

How do I load new kuler themes into photoshop CS6?
That's it, plus the Kuledr desktop app (Mac version) always gives me a Kuler Klash?

Are you sure it is not stand alone? Google Sketchbook Express & Photoshop CS6, and you get no meaningful hits. Google just Sketchbook Express and it brings up links than say stuff like:
If you've just switched to Mac and are looking for a replacement for MS Paint, then SketchBook Express is a fun drawing application that's suitable for everything from a quick doodle to professional sketching.
SketchBook Express uses professional-grade tools that enable you to produce some highly impressive results. The streamlined interface allows for what is known as "gesture-based marking menus" which mean that different tools are available to you at the click of a mouse. However, to get the most out of SketchBook Express, you'll need a pen and tablet device.
There are many preset tools,

Pros
Suitable for doodling and professional sketching
Good alternative to MS Paint
Easy to switch main tools
Cons
Best to be used with pen and tablet device
May not be fully comptaible with all tablets

Kuler Desktop Error

I've downloaded Apollo and then d/l the Kuler Desktop (which,
I think is awesome and can't wait to use). When I try to open it
though, it will open up, show the 'home" of it and then I get this
error. Any help would be appreciated. I'm on Windows XP Pro.
Thanks!
Error

How does this resolve the problem? I am having the same
problem as described and seen with the Error Pic. Using Firefox 2 I
downloaded Air and installed it and then downloaded Kuler Desktop
and installed it and when I try to run the app I get the same
error. Also, why does it matter what browser you use to download
the program with if its being installed to your local computer. So
how do I get it to work?

Hi,
To help you with your issue I would like to capture some logs
from your system.
To create the logs please do the following steps:
1) Open a DOS prompt by going to Start->Run, and typing
'cmd' in the Open box.
2) At the prompt type 'cd "c:\Documents and
Settings\<userhome>\"' where <userhome> is the account
your login name
3) Type the following commands:
echo > .airinstall.log

Kuler desktop now available!

Longed for the kuler Dashboard Widget but you were running
Windows? Using the Widget already but curious about Apollo?
The kuler desktop is built in Apollo so it is cross-platform.
Like the Widget, it displays RSS feeds of color themes from kuler,
executes theme searches, and lets you easily copy hex values from
any theme to your clipboard.
To download the latest Apollo runtime and kuler desktop file,
go to the
kuler Links page. Install
Apollo first, then the kuler desktop.
Curious about Apollo? Learn more about why Adobe is
developing the Apollo platform
here.
Apollo-specific discussion should be posted on the
Apollo
Forum.
We look forward to your feedback. Enjoy!
Sami

kay, here we go:
I get the Apollo Runtime here
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/air/air_b1_win_061107.exe
The AIR Package (I assume this is the application) here
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/kuler/kuler_desktop_061007.air
but what's this for
http://kuler.adobe.com/links/download.cfm?linkFile=kuler_desktop_060607.air
the last one looks the same as the AIR Package (the 2nd
download link) but does not contain any AIR files, only pngs and
xml stuff.

Kuler desktop login problem

I just installed AIR and kuler desktop. When I launch kuler,
I get the spinning pinwheel thing in the middle of the kuler panel
and it doesn't go away, even after I've logged in. In fact, the
LOGIN panel doesn't go away, either, after I log in.
I'm in OSX (10.4.11)....

Hello, is this still happening? I cannot reproduce on my end.

Kuler desktop refuses to close

I can launch the Kuler desktop and login, but when I click on
the 'x' to close, it won't. what can I do to make this work?

Hi,
Haven't heard this one before. Could be a bug you're
experiencing. Would you mind providing us with more information -
Are you using a PC or Mac, what version of AIR do you have
installed, which version of Kuler desktop are you using?
Thanks,

Can HTML based browsers rotate along with a Desktop AIR application if browser is modular?

I get a buged out browser module in my Desktop AIR application after doing an application level rotation/orientation-change/flip screen for viewing on other side of monitor .
Most of the HTML content rotates 180 degrees without any issue, but, it seems some of the "components" aren't getting with the program.
Dropdown box lists don't rotate, even though the button to initate use of the dropdown list does. So, when viewing the application from the new orientation,
the dropdown lists are upside down from an end user perspective ( just never rotated properly from a developer perspective )
I was having to flip my application by sending out a message to a service and recieving the call from a WCF to tell the whole OS to flip via WIN32 API but
64bit operating systems do this a lot slower, so i'm trying to find a new solution.
I am wondering if a workaround can be done by replacing the misbehaving things like the dropdown box with native flex components?
Any thoughts/ideas/conclusions?

I've uninstalled Kuler Desktop and reinstalled using the 12dec08 Kuler.air package. Kuler Desktop runs fine under the Mac admin user I set up to install applications, but when I log into my usual unpriviledged user, I get the previous 'kuler content- Sorry, no items were found.' message. The X close button doesn't seem to work and I have to force quit the Kuler Desktop application.
I don't seem to be able to locate the Apple Dashboard Widget for Kuler. Does it still exist?
I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.6 on a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 2GB Ram
Adobe AIR is the latest installation (.dmg file dated 18Feb09) fwiw I could only install Adobe AIR using the admin user login.
Any ideas what to try next?
Thanks,
Sayling

I am having a problem with kuler desktop, it installed fine
but when I log into the kuler desktop, it logs me in but
immediately gives me a error message "kuler kutoff! Your session
has timed out. Please sign in again.
I then sign out (the icon is green in the lower right hand
corner and says Sign Out), then resign in and I get the same error.
I am using XP SP3 and have no problems with kuler in FF3 only
with the kuler desktop application. I really want the integration
of kuler with CS3 Photoshop and was hoping that this would give me
that integration.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
