Windows AIR application hang

Hi.
We've been testeing out our app on a few machines. It uses some native code, so it was exported as an exe installer from flash builder. We've installed it on a handful of machines successfully, but ran into a problem today. The installer hangs and doesn't come back. Below is the Install.log from the hang:
[2011-05-31:19:49:56] Bootstrapper begin (Win:version 2.0.2.12610)

and it stays here forever.
Here is the next line that should happen (taken from a machine where the installer completed successfully)
[2011-05-31:09:15:30] Starting app installation to C:\Program Files. Installing app SecureDocuments version 0.80 using the source file at file:///C:/Users/TYSONG~1/AppData/Local/Temp/AIRCCB4.tmp/Secure%20Documents
So it appears that the installer isn't really even starting. We also tried installing and uninstalling air 2.6 before running the installer. No go.
Any ideas?
Thanks much.

Forgot to mention that when running in win 2000, it seems that there are many exceptions caught by ODP (probably) and are not propagated to my code.
I know this because we are using perfmon to monitor the number of exceptions.

Multi Window AIR Application - How to Call

Hi All,
I am new to Adobe AIR so please forgive my ignorance. I want
to create a multi-window air flex application. The scenario is like
I have a window with menu options. When user selects a menu option,
I have to open another window with corresponding application in it.
I have created two applications inside a flex project. Each
application has <mx:WindowedApplication> as its root
component. My question is how to call the 2nd application from the
1st one? I tried SWFLoader but does not seem to work. Any help is
creatly appreciated.

You only want a single WindowedApplication component in an
AIR application. For the other windows, use the Window component.
You can then create this window object in response to the user's
menu selection. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/launching_windows.html
for examples of opening windows.

You can use the "+" operator which is both the addition (number) and concatenation (string) operator. JavaScript makes the decision about how this operator will work by the type of the value of being processed. Two numbers JavaScript performs addition, character string and number, number and character string, or 2 character strings then concatenation.
If you just use the '+' operator and spaces, you will get extra spaces unless you add code to allow for null fields and adjusting the spacing or other punctuation as needed. You may also need to force numeric values to character stings or you might end up with an addition and not concatenation.
Adobe provided a example of a funciton to properly join 3 fields with full versions of Acrobat:
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
// convert passed strings to a string value
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
// assign a numeric value for presence of a given string(s)
var test = 0; // no passed strings
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // s1 has a value
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // s2 has a value
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // s3 has a value
// return appropriate combination based on passed strings
if (test == 0) return ""; // no stings passed
if (test == 1) return s1; // s1 only
if (test == 2) return s2; // s2 only
if (test == 3) return s1 + sep + s2; // s1 and s2
if (test == 4) return s3; // s3 only
if (test == 5) return s1 + sep + s3; // s1 and s3
if (test == 6) return s2 + sep + s3; // s2 and s3
if (test == 7) return s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3; // s1, s2, and s3

FLV Playback and Seekbar on different native windows in one Air application

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to make a simple video playback AIR application that utilizes the initial native window to house a transport control with a seekbar on it. Once the application launches, it creates a second (new) window on my second screen and places a FLVPlayback instance on that new window. Everything works just like it want it to except for one thing. When the seekbar and FLVplayback instance are not located on the same window stage, the seekbar handle sticks to the mouse when trying to scrub through the video.
I've added both the transport control and the FLVPlayback instance to the original native window as children and I have also added both of them to the new window as children and everything works just fine. It's only when they are separated and located on different stages that the seekbar acts up. When they are on the same stage, I can click on a point on the seekbar and the video jumps to that spot and continues to play and I can also scrub the seekbar, the video updates as I scrub, and when I release the mouse, the seekbar handle stays where I released the mouse. When they on separate stages, the seekbar handle continues to follow the mouse movement without releasing it. The video updates as the seekbar handle is moved due to it sticking to the mouse, but if I release the mouse, the handle is still moving with the mouse and the video is still being scrubbed. Like I said, everything works great except for this and I have reached my limit with time spent on this issue. Does anyone have any insight into this?
Here's my code for the project. This is my first AIR application, so I am coding it as I am learning, please be kind.

AIR application crashes at certain point in windows vista

Hi Dudes,

Could you try this against the released 3.2 version of AIR and our 3.3 beta to see if it still occurs? If so, please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Include any sample code or application to help us easily reproduce the problem. If you'd like to keep your code private, please feel free to send it to me directly at [email protected] In addition, if you can give us a .dmp of this crash it could be very helpful.

Is there a pratical size limit for an Air application window?

I'm brand new to creating Air applications. I started to design a utility in Flash CS4 for my own use. I had originally intended for it to be a simple SWF, but decided to make an Air app as an experiment, and to perhaps share it with others in the future.
Basically, the application allows the use to drag-resize a box to measure the pixel dimensions of an area onscreen (photo, Windows window, etc.) I wanted to allow it to be resized to any dimensions up to the size of the screen. The chrome is custom and mostly transparent with some alpha for the box to overlay on whatever you're measuring. However, I've run into a few problems, the primary one being that I cannot set the app to run maximized to the screen size and allow any graphics to extend beyond the dimensions of the stage in the source FLA (it all gets clipped at the edges of the stage). I decided to forget about this and just set a maximum size of the stage. So, what was originally a box that you could stretch out to any dimensions, can now only be resized to the upper limit I set (preferrably 1600px X 900px).
Annoyingly, I've found that any stage size in the source FLA beyond 1500px X 850px causes the Air app to respond very slowly. At sizes below that, the app responds very quickly, as if it were a windowed SWF. My question is, is there a practical upper limit to the size of an Air app window? I mean, if I have an Air app with a window size of 1500px X 850px that can be resized without any perceived lag, why does the window resizing slow down so dramatically by just increasing those dimensions by 1px?

These factors that determine the minimum and maximum width and height of a window:
The minimum and maximum operating system limits, which are the values of the systemMinSize and systemMaxSize properties of the NativeWindow object
The maximum width and height of a window in Adobe AIR, which are each 2880 pixels
The minimum width and height required by any displayed system chrome
The minSize and maxSize properties of the NativeWindow object
I cannot address the performance problems you are experiencing. I hope someone else can comment.

AIR application installation error (Windows)

Hi,
We’ve bumped into troubles while developing AIR
application. The problem is in installation AIR application under
Windows by a user without administrator privileges. When installing
application user selects installation folder he has permission to
write to. And after installation begins it ends with error #0: Some
error occurred...
In the installation troubleshooting it is written that
installation of AIR application *may* require administrator
privileges when installing to a location user has no rights to
write to but we do.
Is there any way to install AIR application by an
unprivileged user?

My understanding is you can do elevated installation on
Vista, but not on XP.

Running windows xp applications on a macbook air

I need to run some legacy windows xp applications in my new macbook air. What version of windows 7 I need to use?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, check that those applications are supported. Then, if you have to run apps that don't need all the performance of the Mac, just download Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows on a virtual machine. In this case, you can choose the Windows version and edition you want to install, but I recommend Windows 7.
If you have to run apps that requires the maximum performance, you have to use Boot Camp. In this case, you can only install Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate (it's better to run a 64-bit edition). To install Windows on Boot Camp, just open "Boot Camp Assistant" and follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
If you are going to use Boot Camp, please follow carefully the steps, because you can delete OS X by mistake and lose everything. Apart from that, you need an external optical drive to install Windows. Any will work with the MacBook

Run Adobe AIR application as frame in other windows app.

Is there possibility to intagrate Adobe AIR application to the windows application as ActiveX, or another way, and will be such functionality provided in future?

Not AIR, but you can, I believe, integrate the Flash Player itself in this way.
