Screen recording of AIR app on Windows desktop

I have developed an Adobe AIR application for windows desktop that runs at 60fps, full HD (classic display list, not Starling). I would like to record this app being used for promotional purposes, and have tried Camtasia and Action! Recorder (with software encoders), but neither of these achieve the required frame rate.
My PC configuration is:
i7-3930K @ 3.20GHz
32GB RAM
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
2 x NVidia GT 440 graphics cards
500GB SSD
If I upgrade my Nvidia graphics card to one of the newer models, such as a Geforce GTX 970, I can make use of the NVENC technology that provides hardware video encoding of DirectX or the Windows desktop. Action! Recorder apparently supports the NVENC technology on the Nvidia cards, to provide improved video recording.
Does anyone have any experience of using NVENC to record Adobe AIR desktop applications that use classic display list, rather than Starling, and can I expect to record a decent frame rate?

Anyone?

Telstra Air App For Windows 8.1 Phone

When will Telstra be providing an Air App for WIndows 8.1 phone?

I, for one, support this request - especially with the universal app situation and the developer tools available to help convert iOS and Android code to Windows, there really shouldn't be much blocking this app being released. By all means say you're not going to write a Windows Phone 8.1 app from scratch, but how about a Windows 10 Mobile universal app? This would run not only on phones, but also 3G/4G enabled Windows tablets. If your developers are not aware of these tools, please get them to take a look at developer.windows.com to be enlightened! Here's a link to the actual iOS and Android 'bridges' that can help migrate an app easily: https://developer.windows.com/en-us/uwp-bridges

Problem starting AIR app from windows server 2003

Hello,
I have an AIR app that I am trying to run using a c#
webservice under Win 2003.
I am starting the application process (air .exe file) as the
"Network Service" user which has full-rights on the app-folder and
app-working folder. The problem is that once with the applications
the "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" process is starting to (using the same
user N.S.) and both of the processes stop responding.
I have tried to start the process as "Local Service" with
"Desktop Interaction" too but unfortunately with no result.
I must tell you that under XP and Vista it runs perfect...
Is there any security issue related to win 2003 or any way i
can start an air app from command line.
Also i am interested why "Adobe Air Updater.exe" is starting
?

Not sure about copying eulaAccepted file from one location to another - that would really depend on which user account your service is running under.
A better approach (IMHO), is to open the services window (My Computer | <right-click> | Manage, then navigate to Services and expand the tree) so you can see your service on the RHS.
Stop your service, then inspect it's properties, select the 'Log on' tab, then check the checkbox which says "Allow system to interact with desktop". Apply the change, then restart your service.
next time the AIR runtime prompts you to accept the EULA, the window will appear on the screen, so you can click "I accept".
After accepting, reverse the procedure which allowed the service to interact with the desktop, and make sure that you have modified the registry to prevent AIR from updating as mentioned in:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3 d11c0f59823a-7ff0.html
You should be all set.

Problem running AIR app on windows server 2003

Hello,
I have an AIR app that I am trying to run from a Java program under Windows 2003. (It runs perfect on XP and Vista.)
The problem is whenever I try to run the AIR app, it runs "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" which causes the app to not run. And both the process stop responding. I can see them both in Task Manager. I disabled the AIR automatic updates using the Settings Manager application but it still runs the Adobe AIR Updater.exe file.
Any help to resolve this problem would be highly appreciated.

How to run Adobe Air App as Windows Service

I am working on Adobe Air application. Everything about coding and configuration have been good so far but I have some major road blocks down the road:
1. Schedule my application to run at certain time.
2. Run the application in the System Tray like a Daemon app
Does Adobe support for configuring the application to run in System Tray like a Gmail notifier app now? If it does, is it possible for me to have it configure for both Windows and Mac systems?
If anyone has any pointers or tips, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance.

Last night I got some time to try out your example from "Working with the dock and the system tray"
It is really impressive to see how easy you can animate the icon on the taskbar, but it doesn't particularly achieve my goal to have a cross-platform taskbar app running.
I tried to work with Java yesterday and got their Taskbar module working on both platforms. It solves the basic issue. But then I realize Java is missing the Webkits Adobe Air is offering. So I need two Apps in order to achieve the goal to re-use my web app on the desktop. Now I am considering to learn more about the extend feature you mentioned to let the Java application works like a remote control for the Air application's instances.
So here are some of my current concerns: is it possible to be able to have input from java app into air application's elements? Does Adobe's intergrated runtime support incorporating Java as part of the app like it does with SWF and javascript? Or is there any bridge I can use to have the two applications communicate with one another?

Run Adobe AIR app as Windows Service

I have an app which monitors an RSS feed. Upon an emergency,
the RSS feed is updated. The app detects the change and launches
(from the taskbar/dock) full screen, plays an alarm sound and
displays the message.
Is it possible to run this app as a service (I know that
there are several software options to enable this) - my question is
directed towards launching the full screen warning. Can I utilize
the windowing API before a user logs in if the app runs as a
service?
I have tested this using a couple of those software options
with no success.
Does anyone else have any ideas or answers?

John, did you ever find a solution for running an Adobe AIR app as a Windows Service?

Admin rights to install AIR apps on Windows?

Hi
I have the AIR framework 1.5 already installed on a Windows XP PC.
After this, are admin/power-user rights required to install AIR apps on the same machine to the "My Documents" folder? I would assume NO. Pls clarify.
If admin rights are required, are there ways to disable certain install features (Add/Remove control panel entry etc) to remove this admin requirement?
Thanks in advance

You must have the correct permissions to install anything. This includes AIR applications.

Why won't Apple let a screen recorder on the App Store

Hi why won't Apple let screen recorders on the App Store?

You'd have to ask Apple. We wouldn't know - we are just users like you.

Adobe Air apps in Windows 10 app store

Do the changes coming in the Window 10 app store provide any hope for air applications making there way in?

Hi Juan Pablo,
I was able to reproduce the problem, but, the behavior is the same regardless of whether the app runs on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. It's not that the problem only happens with the Windows 10 version of the app, since I see the same pixilation behavior on
both versions of the app.
Are you seeing a different behavior - meaning that the app renders the circle smoothly during transitioning on Windows 8.1, but pixelates on Windows 10?
Thanks,
Prashant

New quicktime screen recorder and other apps

Anyway I can use this while recording a keynote or ppt presentation. Basically, I need to be able to record pointer movements with narration while switching from slide to slide.

I would say then....bring up your PPT/Keynote deck on your desktop. Then go to QTX and select record from screen (make sure you include record sound with either your built in mic or one you plug in). Then start working with your presentation, every mouse move you make (the pointer) will be recoreded, you supply the voice narration.
Maybe I am missing something in your question???

AIR app as Windows Service

Hi!
I have one question.
Is it possible to create AIR application which will work like
Windows Service (start and stop by request from other
application)?

I'm not sure if this will work, or even why you'd want to do
it...
but there is a program in the Windows server resource kit
called SRVANY.EXE
which allows a normal exe to operate as a service

Launch Java App from Windows Desktop

What's the best way to launch a Java application from a Windows XP desktop without the console showing?

If your class Main.class is part of a package, you cannot invoke Main directly without providing the package. You may have to include the -classpath option (depending of the working directory). The default value for -classpath is "."
You should try:
javaw myPackage.Main
(if the working directory is parent to directory 'myPackage')
or
javaw -classpath .;c:\xxx\xxx\. myPackage.Main
"c:\xxx\xxx\" is your root package's parent directory. Note that you may have to double quote the specified path.

Mobile app to desktop air app

How do I convert my mobile air app to a desktop air app. I basically just want the app to look just like the emulator version but maybe with a 1024x768 view instead (tablet sized).

When you build the release build of the application, you can choose "AIR for desktop" and the app looks exactly like in the emulator.
Otherwise you have to port some of your application components to an AIR project (if you want the full AIR desktop functionality).
