Air allows for seamless installs (aka, "badge installs") from the browser, as well as launching an Air app from the browser. Air 2.0 has the Native Process API, which requires packing the app as an .exe/.dmg rather than a .air file. My question: does the badge install process support seamless installation of native Air installers?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to follow this page to launch my AIR native installer application from the browser using "browser invocation"I've loaded the 'badge' sample app into a new "Flex Project (Web)", and made the appropriate changes to the 'AIRBadge.as' file. But I can't seem to use FlashBuilder 4.5 to compile a new 'badge.swf' file which includes my changes.

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.
View 1 RepliesHow can i create native installer for windows, MAC and linux, which will check the system if air runtime is not install in the user system then installer will 1st install the AIR runtime and then the AIR application.
Do we need to use any third party software to achicve this?
For checking system wether the AIR runtime is install or not Do we need to write custom script or installer will automatically get things done.

View 1 RepliesI have tried the options given on Adobe Livedocs : adt -package -target native myApp.exe myApp.air, but I keep getting the message "-storetype required". I then try with adt -package -target native -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp.air and get the same message. I have already created the .air file and the .p12 cert file in flexbuilder, and am just pointing to these in the command prompt in the specified places, but the same problem occurs. Any ideas?
View 1 RepliesI 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 stayed out of the picture as long as I could ..because Ifigured there would be confusion and consternation as Adobe assimilated Macromedia's products.Here I am with Adobe Illustrator and Flash CS3,and the disconnect between the two is astonishing! I'll attribute some of my unfamiliarity to my recent involvement with Flash, but still,the vector pen tools operate soooo differently. Furthermore,selected anchor points are black in Illustrator and hollow in Flash polar opposites! The respective tool bars look similar, but often the selected tool behaves in a distinctly different manner, and the palette serves up dissimilar options.
Go the path of least resistance. I'll do my vector work in Illustrator, my workhorse tool of choice,then paste or import into Flash. But then gradients look like poo.Pfffff. (If anyone knows,what IS the problem with Illustrator-to Flash gradients. Is it that Flash Player is still too heavily based on Macromedia technology? i.e. the PostScript is OK but FlashPlayer doesn't render it well?)So, enough rant ...
What are the chances that Illustrator and Flash are better aligned in CS4, at least as far as object compatibility and similaar vector pen tool behavior? I can probably deal with the rest.
Quite simply, is there a way to put a custom image in the installer of an AIR application, for example to the left.
I'm using .air-installers, which I need to preserve because of updating functionality. I create them with Flash Builder 4.5 + Flex 4.5.1 (AIR 2.6)

View 11 RepliesI have some audio files on my http server, and I would like to write a Flash client in ActionScript3 to load those audio file and play them smoothly. Of course I can just create a Sound object and load it by .load() with a URL request. But for saving the bandwidth, I prefer to load audio file chunks on demand. For example, there is an audio file let's say 100MB. If we try to load as fast as possible when user open the page
<--------- 100MB ----------->
The downloading may finished within minutes, but let's say, if user stop listener in halfway, that's kind of waste to load whole soundtrack at first.
<--------- 100MB ----------->
^--- user may stop here
To solve the problem, I think it's better to split the big audio file into small chunks, load and play them on demands.
<--- 10MB ---><--- 10MB ---><--- 10MB ---> ...
^--- user current position
I want to design the player, let it load audio chunk by chunk, and only load it when it's near the end of current chunk.
How to load those chunks and play them smoothly? I can probably create Sound object for each chunks. But how to play them seamless?
I need to create a full browser flash website with a background image or maybe even rotating background images like these:

I tried playing with the code from these sites unsuccessfully before thinking that the scaling must be coming from the flash file itself. There seems to be a lot of these sites. I saw this tutorial:

But I think this is in AS2 (i'm not a big coder) and also uses a seamless pattern but I would like to use photos.
I am trying to create movie clips in flash that contain a seamless animation. The effect I am looking for, is done using the Drawing API actionscript. I am trying to animate a box appearing and growing to a certain size, but I do not want to use a motion tween as the animation does not appear smooth.

When you export a release build of an air app, it creates an .AIR file, that you can then double-click. When you do so, it asks you if you want to "Add shortcut icon to my desktop" and "Start application after installation".
I need to call specific ActionScript within my AIR application if and only if it was launched by the installer (the 2nd checkbox was selected) - As opposed to the user re-running it from the start menu after having installed it.
How can I detect this within my program?
When I open internet explorer I get a window that says adobe flash player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 has stopped working. It will not load the homepage or if it does it open it I am unable to navigate away from it. I have tried to deactivate flash but that didn't help either. I have downloaded and installed all windows updates. I have run a virus scan.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI'm having problem with playing a *.swf file in my animation. The *.swf file actually contains a video clip of people passing a card to one another. On the main timeline there are 3 nested movieclips, the movieclip on the second frame contains the *.swf file, and using Im using this code to load the SWF file:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("iwill_cards_video.swf"); myLoader.load(url); MovieClip(root).nextFrame()
The first movieclip plays fine, but then the next two movieclips play at the same time over one another. I would like for the first movieclip to play, then the second movieclip containing the SWF file, followed by the final movieclip. I have a "stop" on each of the 3 frames on the main timeline but it doesnt seem to work?
I am running Flash Professional CS5 (11.0.2.489), updater reports I am up to date. The documentation seems to indicate that FP CS5 should support native custom cursors, but it doesn't (Mouse.registerCursor method is undefined).
Should this be supported in FP CS5? Can I update flash.ui to include support? Is it supported in FPCS5.5?
I'm considering using Flash as the UI of a native Windows app, for several reasons, but before I dive in and start building, I figured I'd poll the community to find out whether anyone's got any good examples of this particular approach out there today, just to prove the concept satisfactorily. So I guess that's pretty much the question: Anyone built one specifically? Or better, anyone know of an app in relatively wide distribution that demonstrates the viability of this approach?
View 4 RepliesI recently came to know about the adobe flash builder with flex in latest release it supports to achieve the benefits of flash for iOS apps.As i am looking for a calendar based app,before taking the Adobe flash builder as a solution, i would like to be clear on the following queries.
What limitation is there of the ipa file generated from FB 4.5 as opposed to a core COCOA touch based solution What are the performance differences between the FlashBuilder app and natively built iPhone app. Is there any limitation of building a HTML5 based app given the calendar functionality apart from look and Feel.
