Adobe air allows you to view web content without using your web browser. The Elements Inspiration Browser uses air, for instance, to show you the tutorials.

What's adobe air and adobe community help?

I loaded 5.5 tonight and got a popup asking me if I'd like to install the new version of Adobe Air. I said no thanks. Then I clicked on the Help in 5.5, and it suggested I'd like to install a new version of Adobe Community Help. I said okay, and then I got the popup for Adobe Air again. When I canceled it, the upgrade to Adobe Community Help didn't complete properly.
What's Adobe Air and what's Adobe Community Help? What's the relationship between them?

AIR is a runtime environment for running certain applications. The Adobe Community Help Client is an AIR application; it's a viewer for the Help documents.
I prefer to not use the Community Help Client application. Instead, I use the HTML version of Help in my browser or the PDF version when I'm not online.
There are direct links to the PDF and online HTML versions of the Help documents here.

What is Adobe AIR (And why should I develop in it)

I'm just wonderi ng what Adobe AIR is, and how I could use it in my Flash Development. In the main properties of my flash project I can select which player to run it on, and AIR is available in that list. I haven't tried it yet. But what do I gain out of using it. Can I just switch to Adobe AIR while still using all of my Actionscript 3.0 code? Does it add any new API's I can use for Actionscript 3.0 or is it an entirely different language?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. I read through a few of the guides there and from what I can see, I can essentially just change the player to Adobe AIR without needing to change any of my code. However I will gain acess to some API's that only run using AIR?
Am I correct in saying this?
probably, but not necessarily. if you're calling server-side scripting, you'll have some trouble converting to air. and, there are some other unlikely scenarios that will cause some trouble.
A lot of the sample apps included xml documents in the same directory, are they needed in some way?
no

What is Adobe AIR HTML based development

Hi All,
I am a newbie in flex development. What is the difference between MXML based development and HTML based Development ?
Appreciate your answers.
Thanks,
Amit

http://www.adobe.com/products/air/faq.html
Adobe AIR is a cross-operating-system runtime that lets developers combine HTML, JavaScript, Adobe Flash® and Flex technologies, and ActionScript® to deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) on a broad range of devices including desktop computers, netbooks, tablets, smartphones, and TVs. AIR allows developers to use familiar tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver®, Flash Builder®, Flash Catalyst®, Flash Professional, or any text editor to build their applications and easily deliver a single application installer that works across operating systems.
This program is required in order to run our media downloader that is used to archive files from Photoshop.com.

What is Adobe AIR 2.5.1 for TV?

Adobe AIR for TV enables the creation and delivery of rich, expressive applications, video, and content for TV. With AIR for TV, developers enjoy greater value for their investment in the Adobe Flash Platform and are able to participate in true multiscreen development as well as more easily monetize applications. AIR for TV takes advantage of hardware acceleration that is specific to TV-style devices (including Blu-ray disc players and set-top boxes), as well as hardware-decoded H.264 for cinematic-quality video playback. As with all other AIR platforms, ActionScript 3 is supported.

Mmh, ja, güte Fräge...! Ich würde mal vermuten, dass es die Sockets zerschossen hat, also die Art und Weise, wie AIR mit den notwendigen Flash Player Komponenten kommuniziert... Passiert auch manchmal auf "echten" Systemen, läßt sich aber in aller Regel eben durch die Neuinstallation von AIR und Flash Player reparieren. Könnte vielelicht sogar sein, dass die Virtualisierung selbst irgendwas damit zu tun hat. Auf jeden Fall würde ich mal den AIR Cache löschen (in deinem Windows User Verzeichnis unter dokumente und Einstellungen irgendwo). Vielleicht reicht das ja schon...

Cannot install Adobe AIR and CS6 suite

Hi folks,
Lets start with: i am the build in local admin account! i did run as admin! and as far as i know i got rights on everything.
Windows 7 SP1 64bit.
I did try selective boot through msconfig, and i did try it also in safe modes in the most minimal state.
Creating a shortcut with the "-uninstall" string obviously not work, because there is no more installation of Adobe air or CS6 products installed on my machine.
This is what the Adobe AIR installer log tells me,

I googled my cute little hiney off, for almost 2 full days now.. spent alot of time in the Win7 register and in deep hidden windows folders.
As far as i know i completly removed Adobe Air and CS6 products.
Also tried the adobe creative cloud cleaner tool everyone is talking about, but it not even start on my machine?!
Why the hell! i cannot install Adobe AIR or CS6 Products?
If you need more information, i am happy to give it to you.
PS
Adobe flash, shockwave and Reader work perfect?!!?!?!?!
I leave problems reports about Adobe CS6 products out of this discussion for now, because i have a feeling that the problem is connected with eachother.

Hi,
I found requirements for Flash and Air on Android from following Sites:
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/systemreqs/#mobile
Android devices
VGA: Dedicated Cortex A8 (ARMv7) 550MHz App Processor with Neon for A8 only; Hardware Vector FPU
WVGA: Dedicated Cortex A8 (ARMv7) 800MHz App Processor; Hardware Vector FPU
Google Android™ 2.2 or later
256MB of RAM
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/
VGA
WVGA
WSVGA (1024x600)
WXGA (1280x800)
Hardware requirements
Dedicated Cortex A8 (ARMv7) 550MHz App Processor with Neon for A8 only
Hardware Vector FPU
Dedicated Cortex A8 (ARMv7) 800MHz App Processor
Hardware Vector FPU
Dedicated Cortex A8 1000Mhz App Processor
Hardware Vector FPU
Dual-Core Cortex A8 1000Mhz App Processor
Hardware Vector FPU
Operating system
Android™ 2.2*
If I am getting it correctly, both requires same ARM version, and Hardware Vector FPU.
But I have found many devices, where Adobe Flash is installed and running. (If market does not show Adobe Flash, device manufacturer provides flash apk which works)
But can not install Adobe Air. Market does not show Adobe Air.
Is there any way to sort this out?
I get feeling that as Flash is more popular software, people have got patched version for the same. But for Air, it does not exist.
Thanks

Can individual Adobe Air apps be installed without local admin permission into a user-owned folder?

Is this a supported scenario?
Windows 7 PC.
Adobe Air runtime (latest; 4.0) has been installed by an administrator using a local admin account and the eulaAccepted file is present under the "All Users" profile.
User logs in using her own account which does not have local admin rights.
User downloads an Air app and tries to install it to C:\Users\<username> where she has full write permissions to the disk.
What I observe when acting as the User is that the Windows UAC (security escalation to local admin rights) dialog pops up. Can anyone clearly state what the Adobe Air installer is doing that requires the UAC escalation when installing an app to a user's folder? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, Chris. We're working around these problems by deploying the Air runtime + the application separately using an administration tool, which is fine for now.
I logged the question because I don't see any registry edits or privileged folder access taking place. I suspect that the UAC escalation has something to do with the "eulaAccepted" file; checking that it exists. I doubt that escalated permissions are really required for this. In the long term, it'd be good if this "use case" could be added to the test cycle of Air; perhaps the UAC dialog could be avoided, improving the flexibility of deployment options.
Ideally the test would start with an adminstrator-installed Air package *without* the EULA being accepted. The user should be able to install apps and approve the EULA without the UAC dialog popping up at all.

Adobe Air won't install on android device.

Just got a android phone to develop air apps on and guess what, the Adobe Air won't load.
The phone (Virgin Mobile Optimus V = Mid-Tex Cellular LGE VM670) was just released.
Does Adobe Air have minimum specs that have to be followed?
Does the Adobe Air app have to updated with my phone to allow access on the android market .
Some Air apps will show my phone, on others air apps do not (device ghosted) Including Adobe Air.
Thanks

I found this minimun specs:
Android devices
Google Android™ 2.2 operating system
ARMv7-A processor with vector FPU
OpenGL ES 2
H.264 and AAC hardware decoders
256MB of RAM
The Optimus V has OS 2.2 and enough ram.
Have to check the rest of the specs.
The screen res is 320x480 and the processor is slow but has a gpu.
I was surprised to see only 5 manufacturers certifided for Adobe Air Runtimes!
There might be 50 manufacturers world wide making android devices.
You would think the software would cater to the lowest common denomminator = minimun specs.
I don't mind needing top of the line specs, that's OK makes sense, But not being able to sell an app
because the manufacturer has not been certifided makes no sense.
All manufacturers should have a top of the line device that meets the minimun spec.
It limits your market.
Sorry for the rant,
want to buy a phone. Mint!

Adobe AIR keeps trying to download a WIN32 module to my 64-bit OS

Adobe AIR keeps trying to download a WIN32 module to my 64-bit OS. There's no s/w in the Adobe product list to read a FAQ or get help.
1) What is Adobe AIR?
2) Why do I need/want it?
3) Why is Adobe always trying to load it onto my system?
4) Why is a 32-bit WIN32 module going to work on a W7 64-bit OS?

SkywayTraveler I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Adobe AIR forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/air.

Whats the difference between the Flash Player runtime and Adobe AIR runtime?

Hey all. I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications").
Thanks in advance,
Jay.

Main Difference for the user: he also has to install the AIR runtime, that is about 15MB (Flash Plugin won`t do the job alone).
The market penetration for AIR is way below that of flash, so your user needs a good reason to install the Runtime
Also the System requirements are much more harder, you can`t use an Air application in XPSP1 for example.
As a rule of thumb you could say: Use Air, if you want to have the user something saved locally, with AIR you have the possibility to write any fileformat to hard disk, with flash you can only use so called Local shared objects

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.

What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer?

Hi,
I'm developing Adobe Air application. I need to digitally verify the application to add the publisher's name with the product. I did a little research and came to know that Symantec, Thawte, Comodo, Comodo-Tucows, Digicert, Godaddy and couple of others are doing this.
Yes. I'm talking about the Code Signing Certificate. My question is, What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer? The reason is, The native installer will have an extension .exe ( Windows ) and .dmg ( MAC OS X ).
These guys are providing certificate for Adobe Air. For instance, If the application is exported using Native Installer in Windows, The application will have an .exe extension. For this, Can I use the same Adobe Air code signing certificate or Should I go for Microsoft Autheticode ( for .exe ) certificate?
Thanks in advance.

I think comodo code signing certificate is one of the nice option to be added for Adobe Air, as i have seen comodo code signing certificate in other adobe programs. Recently i bought comodo code signing from https://cheapsslsecurity.com/comodo/codesigningcertificate.html, to sign one of my adobe application and it works fine, you can use microsoft authenticode technology with comodo code signing.
