Packaging AIRHelp .air file with AIR Application

Hi,
Has anyone had any experience packaging an AIRHelp project (generated by RoboHelp) with an AIR Application?  I want installation for our app to be simple as possible for the end user, and requiring them to install the help separately from the real AIR application seems to be complicated and error prone.  (In addition, ProductManager launch function cannot determine whether or not help has been installed, so there could be problems there.)
Currently we are using a native installer for the AIR app. 
Thanks in advance,
-Tom

Another thing I learned is that you might have the icon file embeded in the application somewhere and that removes it from the include in AIR package screen.That shows the same 303 error. See more detalis here : http://spy6.blogspot.com/2009/10/error-creating-air-file-303error-some.html

  • Adobe Air - Packaging external local files with application?

    I'm new to Air. I'd like my application to be pretty light so it loads quickly. So i'd like to place all my assets (XML files, graphics, etc) outside from the main Air file and when the main Air file is loaded into memory, I'd like it to load in the asset files at runtime.
    So  how do I go about telling Flash builder to save my asset files locally when it  packages my Air Application and also ensure I can access these files while  debudding my application?

    I recently worked with this same problem. The answer is to use the adt command-line tool that comes with the SDK to explicitly include everything you want into your .air package.

    Also, I haven't tried this tool, but it sounds promising:

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm getting basically the same error. Are there any rules or guidelines that we are suppose follow when writing an app for iOS? Is there a way to know exactly where it is crashing? My apps are not MXML, only actionscript. Also I made sure I have no errors not even warnings in my SWF file, but still no go!

         Hi All,
    I have to package a .AIR file in  .exe file with ADT.
    Is it possible setting a default installation path in exe file using ADT tool?
    I would like to create a .exe file where user can't interact with installation wizard to set a particular path.
    Does it exist a particular option?
    Would you suggest an example?

  • Packaging an AIR application in a native installer

    Hi! I'm trying to create a native installer of my AIR Application,  because (I think) it's the only way make the native processes working.  But I have a problem: I used the following command to pack: "adt  -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx -target native  -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp-app.xml", but I get  the error: "File myApp-app.xml is not a valid AIRI or AIR file". In the  Flash Builder I use as additional compiler arguments:  "-locale=pt_PT,en_UK,fr_FR,de_DE,ro_RO,es_ES  -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=assets" and I add the  source path "src/locale/{locale}/". What is the sintax for packing my  AIR application in a native installer? Thanks in advance.

  • Opening  files with selected applications.

    This is the second time I post this subject. The first time, I thought I had solved the issue using a package named `Default Applications` [suggested in the discussion forum]. But this was `illusory`. If I tell the machine, in all the way I know, to open .f or .c (fortran/c) files with Aquamacs Emacs by default, it will do it a couple of times, but after a while, (a restart...I have not checked) Xcode wins again! I definitely don't want to use the Xcode editor. What should I do? Should I erase Xcode from the disk or eventually there is some more elegant solution to this problem? My impression is that this is a bug of the OS [the *always open with* button does not work at all], which should be cured in the new edition. I know from many collaborators and friends that they have exactly the same problem.

    I had this problem before with how I view the inside of my main Hard Drive. I Keep on changing the view ( J in Finder) with bigger icons and a green background but after every restate its back to small unorganized icons with a white background. Two days ago I enabled finder to show hidden items. I Found out the .DS_Store was owned to another Admin on my computer. I changed it to mine and it's all swell.
    So even though Repair permission did not work for me to fix the problem for me, I still recommend to Verify and Repair permissions.
    Second I should suggest to find the file(s) that handles what files are opened with. (I'll do my part in finding it)
    I hope this solves it.

  • Open File With LabVIEW Application

    I have a LabVIEW application that can be used to analyze several data files at once.  I am wondering what the best way to right click on a file from Windows Explorer and open with the application.  I know you can use the command line property node to find what file was opened if the application is not running when you open the file, but from what I found, this does not work if the application is already running.  I have a work around in place by using my main application as an ActiveX server, and another application which reads the file name from the command line when the user right clicks and opens the file, passes the path to the main application, and shuts down so the process can be repeated.  Is anyone familiar with a way to do this without have two executables?

  • Acrobat 7.1 IE plugin cannot open .pdf Files with mt/application/octet-stream

    Hi Folks,
    we have some problems to open pdf - files via Hyperlink in an IE Explorer. this files get from the web-server the MIME-Type "octet-stream".
    the only option is to save and then open the pdf files. But we want to open the pdf files directly IN the IE. the option to open it not in IE is not possible because then another application will not work.
    Is it generally possible to open an pdf File with an octet-stream MIME-Type with the IE-Pluin, and if Yes is ther any possible configuration we could try.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Bill,
    we already tried to change that checkbox that solves the problem but we get new problems with other applications, so this way is also no option for us.
    also we tried to repair / reinstall acrobat, but it has no effect.
    I suppose that maybe adobe just closed that door to open pdf documents with the octet-stream MIME-Type. Because it could an way to insert executable files in the system.
    maybe a higher version than 7.1 can do this?

  • Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

    I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

    CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
    What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
    This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
    I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.

    Hey all,

    I'm using SLiM, xmonad, and have a rather minimalistic set up.
    Secondary to this, Chrome cannot determine by itself whether it is the default browser application.

  • Help! Cannot open files with certain applications

    I updated to OS Tiger from OSX some weeks ago. Before, I could run a program that labels files in a given folder with names given in an Excel file (csv format). This "csv sorter" usually asks for the csv file once I put in the folder with the files that should be labeled. In the dialog window that opened I could just go through my harddrive to my csv file and choose it. Now the csv files always appear in pale grey and I cannot click on them. Has anybody an idea why certain programs should not recognize certain filetypes any more in OS Tiger? It seems like I cannot access any file with the csv sorter any more, no matter which file type. Thanks for your help!
