Visit A Website Behind The Scenes In Adobe Air Application...

Hi all,
I am needing to find a way in Actionscript 3 for a Adobe Air application to visit a website url (ex. example.com) in the background without Adobe Air opening up a web browser.
After the website has loaded in the background, I would like to get all the URL link that the Adobe Air application may see. For example, maybe when you visit "example.com" it redirects you to "google.com", so I want my application to send me back whatever URL it sees after it loads the page.
Can this be done, and is there any sample code anywhere?
Thanks guys!

I think you can get the information you want by using URLLoader with a listener for HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS and check the responseHeaders and responseURL properties:

Help in the design of Adobe Air application

Hello!
I am confused and unaware how to design for Adobe Air.
I explain my need:
1) first page I have background1 and over it 2 swf clickable
2) when I click on any swf1 it send me to a new "page" (or
whatever) with another background (background2) and other swfs
(swf3 and swf4, for example).
3) then if I want I can go back to "background 1 with swf1
and swf2 on it....
I do not know what component to use?
Should I do like "a main document with a HBox" and
"hiding/displaying" Hboxes??
Like:
1) mainscreen, Hbox with a background image, 2 swfs
2) when I click like HBox1 become invisible and HBox 2
appears?
3) then box2 rebecome invisible and HBox1 reappears??
Any help, comments welcome!!

Adobe Air Application Installer.exe Documentation

Hello All,
i am having severe problems retrieving the documentation for "Adobe Air Application Installer.exe"
We have applied as Publisher for Air Apps here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
and filled out the form
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=air_distribution2
After that we were hoping to receive documentation about seamless install of air applications, but we are waiting right now ...
So, time is running out, and i need the documentation of the "Adobe Air App Installer.exe"
So far i have managed to silently install an air app:
'$1 -silent -programMenu -location "$INSTDIR" "$TEMP\AirApp.air"' $0
Where $1 is the "Adobe Air Installer.exe" retrieved from the registry
$INSTDIR is the installation target path
$TEMP is a temporary folder, containing the to install Air Application
the above command works fine for clean and empty systems with no prior versions of the application installed.
what i now miss are the return code meanings, ranging from 0..9 where i only know that 0 means success !
And i would like to have a documentation about the
-update
and the
-uninstall
parameters for seamless installation/deinstallation of a whole air app with data

hi there,
i got the documentation also, dunno why they make it so hard
to get it
thank you very much !
greets from joymoney

Behind the Scenes in Captivate 2

I'm creating an application where I ask the user to enter
comments in a text entry box. What I want to be able to do is save
whatever they type in the text box and display it in a later slide
so they can compare their comments to an "expert's" assessment.
When I was at a learning conference, I heard some Captivate
users refer to going "behind the scenes" to make changes to
Captivate. Is that what I need to do here? Any suggestions?

See "Text Input/Output" by Silke Fleischer, posted on the

Links work behind the scene

Hi All,
I have a pdf which is pretty much a guide. I created InDesign file with layers and exported as pdf.
I'm trying to do the following:
When i hit one of the navigation links, a layer associated with that link shows up. In layer that showed up, i have more links associated with images in its own layers. Everything works like i want.
The problem is that links in non active layers work behind the scene when i hover over so i can hit link in non active layres.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
The script (in link action) i'm using to show/hide layers is:
var ocgs = this.getOCGs();
for (var i=0; i<ocgs.length; i++)
if (ocgs[i].name == "LayerName")
ocgs[i].state = ocgs[i].state=true;
var ocgs = this.getOCGs();
for (var i=0; i<ocgs.length; i++)
if (ocgs[i].name == "LayerName")
ocgs[i].state = ocgs[i].state=false;
I'm using Acrobat 9 pro
Please help
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I solved the problem in acrobat with buttons.
Thanks anyway

Multiple Guest Accounts / Behind-the-scenes Login

How would we go about logging a visitor in as a specific user behind-the-scenes (without them even seeing the Login Screen)? This question is driven from a requirement where we need to display a replica of the subportal branding at the guest view level. (Needs to go on the wish list for sure: Redirecting to a subportal and/or subportal guest accounts.) For example, if I created a [subportalname] Guest user for a subportal and wanted to automatically log a visitor in as that user, how would I trigger that process? Login PEI doesn't help me - none of those events seem to fire until the user is presented with the Login screen and manually clicks Log In - Looking at the Interpreter class right now, where we see the Guest login functionality (DoGuestLogin, etc.). How might we pass around a username and password and trigger an automatic login attempt with that data? We're basically looking for a work-around for multiple guest accounts - 1 per subportal - so that branding can appear right up front before a user actually logs in. We will have a parameter somewhere to branch out which subportal guest user to log the visitor in as. We've gone down a couple of different routes with no luck.
Again, due to a tight timeframe, we need details - like, "Create a custom activity space replacing the Interpreter class, edit [blah] function and use [blah] function to pass in your hardcoded username and password. Rebuild [blah] and deploy [blah] dlls to [blah] directories."
Regards,
Sarah WheelerCox Enterprises, Inc.

It turns out this is pretty complicated due to the internals of how user sessions get initialized. I've managed to get a test working where it logs you in as a guest in a different sub-portal. I can give you some rough information now.
You will need a Login PEI, and a custom Space and IloginControl/IHTTPControl. Obviously, you will need to edit the Login PEI xml file and the CustomActivitySpaces.xml file to get your customizations deployed.
The OnAfterLogin() method of the ILoginActions PEI should look something like this:
publicRedirect OnAfterLogin(Object _oUserSession, ApplicationData arg1)
IPTSession ptSession = (IPTSession) _oUserSession;
if(ptSession.GetSessionInfo().GetCurrentUserID() == PT_INTRINSICS.PT_USER_GUEST)
if(PTDebug.IsInfoTracingEnabled(Component.Portal_Browsing))
PTDebug.Trace(Component.Portal_UI_Infrastructure, TraceType.Info,
"Guest user login redirecting to guestloginspace to go to non-standard guest user.");
Redirect guestRedirect = newRedirect();
guestRedirect.SetLinkCreateNewSpace(GuestLoginSpace.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME, null);
guestRedirect.SetControl(GuestLoginSpace.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME);
returnguestRedirect;
returnnull;
and the LoginControl that I mentioned earlier is a bit more complicated than I implied. It also needs to be an IHTTPControl for login purposes. The custom space is very simple, so I will skip it. Here's the full class code for the custom guest login control:
publicclassGuestLoginControl implementsILoginControl, IHTTPControl
publicstaticfinalString STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME = "GuestLogin";

Running "nightly scripts" and other behind the scenes tasks

I keep seeing posts about how the iMac Intel runs nightly scripts and/or other tasks behind the scenes. There is no mention of this in the user manual nor does Apple warn you about not putting the computer to sleep so that these tools will run. My iMac hard drive is asleep every night (as am I...) how can I get these things to run manually? How often? And can someone point me to literature to support this info?
Thanks much,
HS

522/2968
Hi HS,
"There is no mention of this in the user manual"
That's because the three nightly maintenance scripts are not important at all, and don't affect Mac OS X performance.
They are only a relic from the glorious Unix system times when it was used on rather small capacities HDs, on computers that were running non stop for months or years...
Running them yourself manually, as a "perfectionist measure", can be done easily using the "daily, weekly & monthly" features in OnyX or Cocktail for example. All three tasks together, once a month or so, is fine. No harm (but useless) rerunning them many times.
Litterature:
The KB article is quite old, it shows only the default 10.2 times and commands:
- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
(almost same as 10.3 and 10.4 though)
What I really would like to learn, is whether the scripts have been modified in the Intel version of Tiger.
Could you please (or Joseph or somebody else), in Finder, Go To (shiftcommandG) this folder:
/private/etc/
see if there is still the same
/private/etc/periodic
folder, with the three
/private/etc/periodic/daily
/private/etc/periodic/weekly
and
/private/etc/periodic/monthly
scripts?
(I'm asking because I don't own an Intel Mac myself).
Next you would Go To (⇧⌘G) this folder:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
please, see if you find those three files
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.periodic-weekly.plist
and
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.periodic-monthly.plist
If they are still there, you can open them (with TextEdit if your Developer Tools are not installed), and read the default times when the tasks are scheduled to run.
Thanks in advance!

Hello INFINITI11,
I've build a test machine and I can update the content so the online content doesn't have problem in my mind.
You may need to check your network setting here because we can see this error:
"The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not logged on to the network. The specified service does not exist."
You can check your account privilege and check whether you have any policy settings on your OS. You'd better also check that you've disabled all Anti-virus software.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

Adobe Air application installation using the bundled runtime installer

Hello.
We plan to develop application for different platforms with Adobe Air and testing installing Air applications with bundled runtime installer on different platforms. It's ok with Windows and Mac OS, but we got troubles with "silent" installation on Ubuntu OS 9.10.
I tried to install Adobe Air application with bundled runtime, like in this document in part "Silent installation":
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html
using command-line:
"sudo ./MyInstaller -silent simple-air-air-application-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air"
and installation fails. Installation log looks like this:
[setup:2306][INFO] Runtime Installer begin with version 2.6.0.19140 on Linux x86
[setup:2306][INFO] Commandline is: -silent simple-air-air-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air
[setup:2306][INFO] No installed runtime detected
[setup:2306][INFO] Invoking Application Installer for combined install
[setup:2306][INFO] Launching subprocess with commandline /tmp/air.QMrLZl/build/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe AIR Application Installer -runtime /tmp/air.QMrLZl/build/opt -silent -withRuntime -url file:///tmp/air.QMrLZl/simple-air-air-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air
[setup:2306][ERR] Subprocess app installer failed (-1)
[setup:2306][ERR] Runtime Installer end with exit code 7
P.S. We tried do the same on Linux Mint 10. Everything's fine, application getting installed well.

Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
I'm stumped on this one :-(
Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.
Regards
Stephen

How to save the date in Sqlite in Adobe Air application

hi friends,
i am doing a flex Adobe AIR Application with SQLITE Data base,in that i want to save Date in the following format DD/MM/YYYY, but in my TABLE i gave the data type is DATE,
So it store the value like this Sun Dec 2 00:00:00 GMT+0530 2012.i want to store the value in DD/MM/YYYY.How to do that?
looking for useful suggession.
Cheers,
B.venkatesan.

Hi, maybe cannot help much on this since I have not much experiense on handling SQLITE in AIR.
But I know there are a command/example for reading SQL:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/data/SQLConnectio n.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d49.html
And in mxml you should have an id for each individual TextInput component, also have a button:
<Button click="updateSQLHandler(event)"/>
When the button is click the handler function is launched.
The updateSQLHandler(event:MouseEvent) is a script that read the each individual TextInput component by getting (id of textinput component).text.
Then, you create a String varible that is an SQL commands with the texts in the form, and update the SQL database following the below using the execute() command (refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d49.html ).
Hope this help.

What are the System Requirements for Web Server hosting Adobe Air application

Working on a project that is using Adobe Air . The Adobe support site has system requirements for the client side application, but for the server side, what are the system requirements?
Using a Windows server, would expect to have approx. 100 concurrent connections at any given time.

Adobe AIR applications are installed on the end user's computer. They are not hosted on a web server. You can deploy an AIR file, which is the installer file for an AIR application, via your web server.

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say: You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525

I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Amazon rejection - The link to Adobe AIR in your app needs to be updated - How do I change this

Here's a message I got from Amazon:
Device Tested : Motorola Droid (2.3), HTC Evo (2.3.3),Samsung Galaxy Tablet(2.2)
Issue: The link to Adobe AIR in your app needs to be updated so that customers are taken directly to the Adobe AIR app page on the Amazon Appstore. The Download URL is http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air Steps: i)Launch the application. ii)Tap on "Install">> "Appstore". Observe that the application goes to the home page of the Amazon app store for the installation of Adobe Air.
I am assumed I could change this in my xml file:
I change the URL in this line to the one they provided (http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">
However, when it is published it always changes it back to the old address. How do I prevent this?

Thanks.
I think I found the answer couresty of Benny 7500 on Aug 11, 2011 9:18 AM.
For me works editing of Markets.xml file at:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\en_US\Configuration\Android\Markets.xml"
and replacing of Amazon Appstore key to
<market name="Amazon Appstore" url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air"/>
That's all!
