ActionScript 3.0 :: Including Folders In AIR Installer Files
Apr 19, 2009
I am trying to create an AIR Installer file through CS3 that has my assets folder included. What I need to happen is, when the AIR Installer runs, it needs to create an assets folder along with everything else, in that folder it needs to have subfolders with a few files in them. At the moment, I can only add single files, not handy when I have images, music and xml I want neatly organised. I want to select whole folders to add, idealy just my assets, at the moment I can only add one at a time.
I have some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?
I have an installer.air that is created by Adobe Flash. I have another file called settings.cfg which is needed for my application to run. How do let the computer auto install settings.cfg into the installation directory together with the application when i run installer.air? Currently, I need to manually place the settings.cfg into the application installed directory.
I am wanting to install flash CS4, but I want to know exactly which files and registry keys it creates and changes. Spybot informs me of all registry changes, but that is it.Is there any antivirus software or something that will tell exactly which files get changed, created, or deleted during a set period of time or by a specific program? Otherwise I could just search for all files that have been created or modified within the last 45 minutes,
I have decompiled a swf file and got a fla file and also all kind of folders including action scripts.How do I run this? I mean if I make some changes how do I convert it back to a swf file?I created a swf file from one fla file but I got a file that was like 20x less in size then the original. I think it was not using the files in the folders.
I'm working on an application where client may upload any folder which may contain sub folders along with files. Is it possible to upload a folder instead of a file?
I was wondering if there is a way to store actionscript files which are the codes for classes into folders?Having 20+ AS files in one folder just seems to make things messy
Does anybody know how to organize .as files into folders?
Using Flash's publish settings, I can designate the .fla, .SWF, and document class to be in separate directories. That's great, but I'd like further organize my .as files into sub-directories within the folder for source code.
I am trying to generate XML of a user selected folder and inner folders along with the files recursively. Structure of the XML generated should be as the user selected folder.
I am able to list all the folders and files in the selected folder. I am unable to find a way to generate the same structure, I am unable to think of a way to replicate the depth of folder in XML. Any ideas to find solutions??
I know this is simple - but I want to do a slideshow without XML. I want to include the image files within the .fla but I'm trying to find a way to make it scroll through 3 images included in the file with a fade in/fade out effect. But I don't want to make it so I have to tween the images (alpha) to fade them in and out. & I want it to loop.
I am developing flash app to be embedded in the html page, and i have some text in the swf file with certain font.Now,on platforms that does not have those fonts, it will definitely display different fonts than the one I originally intended.I could use the character embedding feature, but there seems to be only two options.One is include all the glyphs which make the file to be monstrous size or there is an autofill button which will only embedded letters of the font that are in the swf file.Now the problem with the second approach is that,the word will change dynamically making the second option useless. i.e. if word (thus letters) change such that it contains letters whose glyph or whatever is not embedded it is a problem you can see.
Plausible solution for me seems to be include all the letters for desired font, which I could not figure out how to do it or if it is possible to do this at all.Or if it is possible to just copy those fonts into one of my web hosting folders, and dynamically loads them.
We use FMS 3.5 for streaming IPTV. We have a number of channels and currently our mp4 files are all held in the Media subdirectory, below vod
We want to divide them into separate channels for the the stations with their own subdirectories for organised filing but cannot see any way of doing this and then referencing the correct directory with the rtmp: via XML.
I was working on a large web site in Flash CS 5.5 on my hard drive Mac Pro V10.6.8, 6GB of memory. 176.78 GB of space left on the drive. I had set up the project in the Flash projects panel. I was opening files with"File open" and working on them. I have my fla files in a src folder and my classes in a com folder. This was the setup of my com folder.
I was working in Flash and it crashed, when it started up again. It didn't offer me a temp file and all the files in the com folder have been deleted except for the greensock folder. But even the greensock folder was missing files.
I went to the recent files when I click a file name I got this error. I have searched my hard drive by name for the files and can't find them. They are not in the Trash. I have talked to three different Adobe tech support people in India they all tell me the files can't be recovered and they don't know why it has happened and don't even seem to care that their program has deleted hours of work. I am waiting on yet another tech support person to call me back. Does anyone know why this has happened? I have been working in Flash for 11 years and never had it delete 186 files when it has crashed.

1) I am working on a custom FLV player for a website. The users will upload various FLV files onto folders on the server and I would like the users to have the ability to browse those folders and select a video to play.
2) Also, as I will be having the users upload their videos via fileReference in Flash, as soon as their upload of a particular video is complete, I would like the video they just uploaded to begin playing or be loaded and ready to be played. Is there a good way to pass the video name directly into the FLV player on the completion of the download so it can begin playing or at least be ready to play?
I've worked wioth sub classes so I know how they work but I always work with everything all in one folder which can get messsy when there are a lot of classes to work through. So i started to make folders inside of my main folder but it's not working. Thought it may be to do with package names but as far as i know, for the whole "classes in separate folders" things that's how they are supposed to be.
how do you setup a full Flash web site, do all files including linked docs go in one folder?. are you suposed to use the publish pannel? The Flash site i am trying to create is to be used as an intrenet site that resides on the server how do I name links to doc in that folder?
I have an AIR app that gets bundled with XML files that the app needs. These get put into the APP Storage Directory, of course. Works great. But when I install a new version ( which includes new XML files) , the new files don't get added or overwrite the ones from the previous version. It seems that if that directory is there from a previous install, the installer will ignore the part where it moves included files.
When I try to export my application to native installer with using Export Build Release, it isn't importing my sqlite database files which are in my application directory. Is there a way that I can import those database files ?
I'm trying to create an installer file for my AIR app. I export release build and include all my elements, i.e. assets, a 3rd party .exe file, etc. But my output says file is damaged. Is there s/thing about this .exe file that is doing this? Do I need to create a customer installer to handle running this?
This indirectly related to actionscript, but I was wondering if anyone knew how you would create (or where to buy) an installer program for a CD-Rom? I have a Flash app and I want to be able to allow the user to install it on their machine and run it locally. I don't need to edit the registry or anything, so I'm hoping it wouldn't be too difficult to find something like that.
I want to create a native installer for windows, mac and linux machines, Instead of .air file I want to create .exe , .dmg and .deb files respectively. So that i can enable the application to be installed natively.
I'm making a software using AIR, and I got the installer installer.exe, but when I'm going to install in the target pcs, It tells me "This application requires a version of adobe air which cannot be found .....", but I need that my installer setup everything that I need to run my app in these pcs that have no Internet connection.
How to execute a file from within flash? what im trying to make is a cd that will auto run the movie and make the user select programs that he wants to install.
