Flex-AIR Make Application With NO Tab In Taskbar?
Jul 8, 2009
I have an AIR app about half way done right now. I was informed by the client today that he does not want a tab to show up in his task bar. I already have this in place for new windows by making them lightweight. I do not know how to make the main window lightweight though. If there is not a way, is there a work around, like not not having a main window and just opening lightweight windows, don't know how that could be done either though?

I've followed the Adobe instrunctions on how to create an app without windows (link).
The gist is that you can do this by hiding or closing the original nativeWindow and creating a new one with theUTILITY or LIGHTWEIGHT property.
Unfortunately, when an application is launched more than once, the new nativeWindow is created again with each launch. This is highly undesirable.
I've tried setting variables with the launch of the application, but it seems like these are not accessible by the new instances of the application. The weird thing is: AIR apps are not supposed to have multiple intances (should be impossible)! And there actually is only one instance according to the windows task manager and the fact that there is only one systemtray icon.

I am building a website of songs library using flex, I have made an mxml file for each page, for example the home page, albums listing page, album details page, search result page and so on. I want to know how would I link them all together, for example on the home page there will be some featured albums when I click on an album am supposed to go to the swf file of the album details same if am clicking on an album from the search result page.I've checked the Adobe Flex Help and found the SWFLoader Control but I understood that it's intended for loading swf files that add graphics or animations but not for something that will have user interaction and in my case there will be user interaction like for example in the album page users can add comments, review comments added by other users, rate the album, buy it and so on.

Open a video file embedded in the application.open some pdf files, preferably embedded in the application, but if it will have to open externally, it's no problem.Work in fullscreen on the user computer, with a minimum resolution of 1024x768. I'm thinking about a resolution of 1024x768, centered on a black background.
I was thinking of using Flash, but I don't have much experience, so if there is another easier IDE that creates a Flash application, I would prefer that.

I made a Flex 4 web application. Upon testing locally, I already got satisfied at how it looks like. However, the swf's file size grew to around 6mb in size so when I uploaded it to my website and viewed it, it takes forever to load on a computer with quite slow internet connection. So my question is, how do I make it load faster? Should I:
separate it into chunks? If so how do I do it.
not put the embedded images inside the SWF but instead, store it outside in a folder? If so, how do I make it load on the background while the user is interacting with the primarily loaded parts of the web app?

I am trying to make a flex application where it gets data from a telnet connection and I am running into a weird problem.To give a brief introduction, i want to read data from a process that exposes it through a socket. So if in the shell i type telnet localhost 8651i receive the xml and then the connection is closed (I get the following Connection closed by foreign host.)
Anyway i found a simple tutorial online for flex that essentially is a telnet client and one would expect it to work but everything follows Murphy's laws and nothing ever works.Now i have messages being printed in every event handler and all places that i can think off. When i connect to the socket nothing happens, no event handler is triggered even the connect or close handler and if i do the following the socket.connected returns false! I get no errors, try catch raises no exception. I am at a loss as to whats going wrong?
socket.connect(serverURL, portNumber);
msg(socket.connected.toString());
Is there something about telnet that i do not know and its causing this to not work. Whats more interesting is why none of the events get fired.The following is the python code that works!
def getStats(host, port):
sock = socket.socket()
sock.connect((host, port))[code]....

I'm currently designing a flash web site for local viewing with animations and the like. This is being activated via the "active desktop" in display properties.I forgot how to point flash to open local exe files. ie PS or flash or whatever.. is it possible to have a flash made task bar that sits "on top" of everything else? This would really start some creative options for me if it is.

I am creating a media player that is supposed to run in the background and thus not obscure any other applications that the user runs.The playe is essentially a lot of AS3 with a minimum of graphics � just enough to set volume and toggle some parameters.uestion:How can I make my graphics so that it can be minimized and only appear on the tastbar?As it is now it can be maximized to cover the full screen and made small so tha it shrivels up down in the left corner of the screen.

Is there a way that I can get an AIR app to appear on screen (Always on top), but does not take up a spot on the taskbar? For example, Google desktop takes up part of your screen, but doesn't take up a tab at the bottom.
I'm using custom chrome as well, so how do I find out how much space the taskbar takes up dynamically? This doesn't necessarily have to work on Mac since I'm probably going to be the only one to use it.

I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?

I have a native (Obj-C, standard Xcode project) application and I'd like to integrate a partners iOS application (or specifically, it's functionality) into it as just another view in my application. The problem is that their application is a Flex/Air app. I really don't understand the Adobe compilation process on how it gets from a bunch of flex code down to an IPA. I don't see intermediate projects, shared objects, etc on the disk to produce that IPA. It looks like it doesn't rely on the Apple tool chain... as I understand it, you can produce the IPA on Windows as well. Is there any way to build that Flex app in such a way that I can import it into Xcode so I can link against it and use it as a library from within my application? While I specifically used iOS as an example since that is the most important platform, we'll want to apply this solution to our respective Android and Blackberry 6 apps as well.

I have an AIR application with a system tray icon. When clicked it shows and activates the app. This is working as expected when the app is hidden (docked), however if I select another application so my app is in the background clicking on the system tray icon does nothing.
Oddly I also have a contextual menu on the system tray icon, which has an option to restore, this calls the same event handler as ScreenMouseEvent.CLICK, yet works.
I expect it's something to do with the contextual menu changing the focus, perhaps it's a bug in how AIR works with the system tray, perhaps it's just something I'm missing. Would be good to know if that's the case.
