Use Bridge DOM from an AIR app-

Hi all,
A customer of mine wishes to have a widget to help their users deal with XMP metadata. However they don't want them to use bridge because the principe is to make the tasks as easy as possible.
But bridge has a convenient library to edit XMP so my ambition is to find a way to get access to Bridge DOM from outside.
Unfortunately, I can't see much workarounds. No command line, using #target bridge generates a prompt, applescript provides a do javascript" but only with strings and my first attemps scared me a bit ( working alternatively without reasons).
So question is, do you know if it's possible to run js script for bridge from outside BRIDGE ?
TIA Loic

Hi Mark,
Paul's input is great and I tried this way. The problem was to run js code from the air app. Thanks to NativeProcess, I know I can execute Applescript code. But XMPLib is js only (unless I am wrong but the bridge sdk doesn't look to offer other languages). So even then, I saw that Brigde Applescript dictionnary exposed a do javascript command. So finally it should have been trivious (yet tricky) to run the needed js code. But, as there is always a but, the code execution is working only half the time. Sometimes it's working, sometimes it raises an applescript event error. Nothing that I could use eyes closed :S
I will have a look at the Photoshop GUIless that you are speaking about. However I have no experience or Photoshop's action manager code but not knowing is an occasion to learn something I guess
Anyway customer accepted to constrain their users to use Bridge GUI so finally, it's easing the whole project. I am thinking about either an extension or a tabbedPanel in scriptUI.
TabbedPanel has my preference but I need to experience more about dealing with the workspace. I am afraid I am thinking out loud here
In any cases, thanks again to both of you for your insights
Loic

Is there a way to open the settings app from an air app on both iOS and android?

Since you can't change the notifications settings within the app, is there a way to simply open the settings app from an air app? like a link or something like that?

Even on iOS this has only recently been added by Apple for iOS 8 only using the line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];
So you would have to wrap this in an ANE and then again, only for iOS and only call it in iOS 8+

How do I use transparent=true in my Air app but still displaying swf ?

How do I use transparent=true in my Air app but still displaying swf's files ?
The thing is that I created a customized chrome, and looks nice when it is transparent cause seems to be floating, it works as a browser, but the problem is that when I navigate with it into a page wich contains embedded youtube videos, as in example, or any other swf file... it just doesn't show...
Any help ? thanks in advance,

What is the best and easiest way to upload a big file from an AIR app to a server?

hello everyone
i am a self-teach-as-i-go kind on person, and this is my first encounter with uploading to a server, websites and all
i have written an AIR app in which the user chooses pictures from his/her computer and fills out numerous forms. at the end i want to upload all this data to my server
currently, all the data folder gets compressed to a single zip file (using noChump zip library). i did this for simplicity reasons (uploading only a single file) - the size is the same. this files can get up to 200mb in size
as a server, i have one domain I have bought and currently only a small space (1G - basic). I control it using Parallels® Plesk panel (default from the company i bought the domain and space from)
I have no knowledge other then as3 (thanks, OReilly!), so i thought of something that doesn't require server side scripting.
after messing around a bit i found the code at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2285645/flex-crossdomain-xml-file-and-ftp
(thank you Joshua). please look at that code, basically, it uploads through a socket
I fixed it up a bit and was able to upload a 64mb zip file to my httpdocs folder in my domain. this included hard coding my username and password
looking at my site managing panel i see the file created and expanding in size, end at the end i even dowloaded the zip and decompressed it - all well.
my questions are:
the upload continued even when i exit my air app! how does this work?
i cant get progress events to fire (this relates to question 1).
this domain also holds my web page. is httpdocs the correct folder to put in user data? how do i give each user their own username and password?
is this the right way to go anyway? remember file sizes could reach 200mb and also, secure transferring is not a must
hope you guys can make sense in the mess
cheers

Can't open browser window from RoboHelp AIR app??!

We've got a RoboHelp course that we're exporting as an AIR app using the Packager and it works great. We've got an embedded flash file that needs to open a website in a browser window, but, currently it will only load the site in a new AIR window...any ideas??

I'm having this same problem also, although you gave me one option in your reply. I can't get the "Allow" button to work either. I upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.2, and then is when I noticed I couldn't bring up the websites that I usually could before. I don't really know what you mean about "Stand Alone Option," but I will try to find out. I also upgraded to Internet Explorer 8, but I'm not sure if this is when the problem started or when I went to Adobe Reader 9.2.
I used to be able to get "Allow" to work if I opened the document in IE8 and not in AR 9.2, but now that won't even work. I did email the author of a PDF document I was in today in the hopes he would have the answer, but I'm not sure if I got his email address right, so time will tell on that issue.
I have a "library" of PDF documents, so I would really like to get this problem fixed. However, I've spent at least two hours on this issue, and I really don't think it has anything to do with Windows Vista incompatibility; I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Adobe Reader, but that doesn't help much given I have emailed support and, of course, have never received an answer.
I do know there are a lot of people that are having this exact same problem, but no one has an answer to it. I've tried to do research on this, but I have a lot of "to do" tasks I need to get done every day, so it's not like I have all the time in the world to try and fix this problem.
I would appreciate hearing from you if you do ever figure this out. My email address is [email address deleted by host] should you find an answer to this very frustrating problem. Warmly, Corinne Larimore [signature deleted by host]

How to get errors and/or air.trace() from installed air app?

I'm trying to debug an installed air app that behaves
differently once installed than when run with adl. However, i can't
figure out any way to get errors or air.trace() information. I am
on OS X (10.5.6). Any tips?
I imagine this should be easy since debugging an installed
app is pretty much a necessity for development.

You can enable logging to a text file using settings in the
mm.cfg file. See
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19323
Note that ALL trace output will go to the log.
Other things you can do are:
1. Run the installed app with adl -- just pass the installed
app descriptor to adl on the command line
2. Supply a publisher id to adl. This removes one difference
between installed/ not installed apps and may be enough if the
behavior issue has to do with local connections or other matters
involving the publisher id.
3. Use the adl -nodebug flag. This removes another difference
between installed/uninstalled apps. You won't see uncaught
exceptions, but trace statements are still reported.

Launching another iOS AIR app from iOS AIR App

Hi
Ideally we would like to be able to launch another AIR iOS from our AIR iOS. Is it possible to do this with AIR? I understand you can do it natively. We would also need to pass a few parameters: such as authentication ID and a URL.
Potentially we need to be able to do this in Android too.
Thanks
Ben

Yes. you can have following chunk in your infoAdditions
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
   <array>
    <dict>
     <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
     <array>
      <string>appA</string>
     </array>
    </dict>
   </array>
then from another AIR iOS application you can call navigateToURL("appA://thisDataWillBeReceivedByAppA")
I have written an Article which lets AIR iOS applications implement Facebook Single Sign-On It uses the same techniques. You can follow http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/10/facebook-single-sign-on-for-air-ios.html for more details.

Can I use Bridge as a photo storing app like IPhoto

Help! Apple has just announced that iPhoto & Aperture are going to be discontinued. My question is (Can Bridge be used as a photo storage or library for all my Photos)

I appreciate all of your comments. I am also working throught this problem with my site www.jakgallery.com
I used iFrame to incorporate but when uploaded it does not work. I contacted Adobe and suggested that many users are having similiar problems and that it seems like an issue they could address. They suggested I go to www.adobe.com/devnet and post my problem there and Adobe people would review this problem to find a fix.
Just a suggestion. I think this is something that would be obvious to connect Bridge and Dreamweaver in an easier way. We'll see.
Thanks, Mike

Opening an AIR App from another AIR App

Using sky go from Mac air to TV and surround sound speakers

I have skygo, and want to watch it on my tv through HDMI cable, can I use logitech surround sound pc speakers too somehow?

As your TV has HDMI inputs which will support sound as well as video, use a MiniDisplay port to HDMI cable (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable by Cablesson works great) or a MiniDisplay port to HDMI adaptor and HDMI to HDMI if not. Just make sure the adaptor supports audio as well as video. Just select HDMI in the Preferences Sound
And yes, you could use your surround sound speakers via the 3.5 mm headphone jack, just make sure you select this option in Preferences Sound if you're not using the HDMI for sound

Use jQuery Scrollbar (Slider) in AIR App

I built a simple blog reader that combines Spry's data
handling and a one-off jQuery custom scrollbar. In my browser, it
works brilliantly, but when I package it up in AIR, it appears that
the custom scrollbars which jQuery creates are overwritten/disabled
by AIR's scrollbars.
Any ideas on this? FYI, I am a horrible AIR noob, so feel
free to gently instruct me on what I am doing wrong and how I can
remedy this issue.
THanks to all!
Joel Watson

Sorry to bump this, but does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks!

Drag&Drop from Browser to AIR App

Hi there,
i wonder how it is possible to drag an element from a flash
page in my browser to an air app on my desktop. i've seen the
showcase
of the nickelodeon jigsaw game on adobe.com, but the videos
looks kind of post-processed.
do you have any tipps on how to enable flash/AIR
drag&drop trespassing the browser borders?

Thanks for your answer.
i already tried something like this, but i still have
problems with getting the newly created entity dragged. how can I
position the new entity from my air app directly under the mouse
cursor? so far i didn't find any screen mouse position functions or
properties. If I use a fullscreen, always on top window with mostly
transparent parts, I can't capture the mouse position using
MOUSE_MOVE all the time. Besides, how can I change the focus from
my browser to my air app? I already tried calling
nativeWindow.orderToFront() and nativeWindow.activate(), but the
focus doesn't change when I click the entity in my flash page.
Maybe somebody knows an answer to this ...
