I've done it this way, but Adobe Air hangs for several seconds.

How to make the process of getting md5 without hanging?
I need to know what the details are of the file permissions of an adobe AIR app. Specifically, to where can may it write text files? Anywhere on the local system? I heard Adobe has a set of "Sandbox Permissions" but these just confuse me as I don't know where they apply. Additionally I wish to know if you need some kind of special permission to append to a file somewhere on the system.

I am working on Adobe AIR application and some test users report to me about same issue.When they try to save the project file from this application, they have no possibility to add any extension (".txt", ".xml" or any other) to the file.
View 1 RepliesTo package an .air file into a native installer you have to use a batch program called adt.
The command on Windows will look something like this:

Is there way to set the extension of a file using Adobe Air's flash.filesystem? Using the browseForOpen function you can set the FileFilter, limiting the files types available. However when using browseForSave you can not set a fileFilter or fileExtension. The file extension has to be entered manually in the SaveFileDialog. The File.extension property associated with the selected file is read-only. Does anyone know of a work around or anything that I could do to not enter the file Extension manually.

I've created a fileUpload.mxml component in flex 3 which basically uploads m4a's to a designated server. The general code is below:
private var uploadURL:URLRequest;
private var file:FileReference;
file=new FileReference();[code].....
Everything works fine on a windows pc, but not on a mac pc. It stops at file. upload (uploadURL)(and thus doesn't trigger Event.COMPLETE).
I've been scouring the web to find a tutorial on how to implement a flex uploader, but didn't find any :(
Some tutorials just give the code and doesn't explain how to use them(sorry, i'm a newbie to flex)
can u geeks suggest some good tutorials?
I'm trying to upload a file with Flex to Minus.com

Is the only way to create new files with AS3/Flash CS3 is with the use of Adobe AIR? or can you do this without using that?I'm trying to do this with a standalone desktop application, NOT a web-based application.I've spent most of the day searching google, and most of the results I've found were from 2006 and earlier and people used the fscommand function, but this seems to be obsolete now. There was one result I saw that mentioned that you would have to have Adobe AIR installed to do file manipulations and save/append to files, but I'm just wondering if there are other options now.

View 1 RepliesWhen ever I try to save a cs4 file as CS5 the adobe flash cs5 will stop responding for no reasons
also, some times and only for some files when I save the cs4 file as uncompressed cs5 and then save that uncompressed cs5 to normal cs5 the conversion works and some times not.
ofcourse any of the cs5 files cannot be saved as cs3 or cs2 for no reasons..
p/s: microsoft office can be saved to any previous versions..

View 1 RepliesAnother Adobe AIR question for you: Can we write files to the file system and leave them as read-only in Adobe AIR? In the future, we would overwrite these files (or delete them and write a new one).

I'm working on an Adobe Air Desktop App ATM. My question is how to get the icon for a given file extension, but without actually loading up a file of such type.
I had the idea to just create a blank file for the extension and then delete it once i have the bitmap for its icon, but that seemed like too much trouble and kinda inefficient.
So for example i want to get the icon associated with a .txt file, or .html file. Is their any way of doing such without having to directly reference and existing file , or create a temporary one as mentioned above?
I'm building an Air app that uses an .app/.exe file as a bridge to hardware devices.
Ideally, I would like to include the executable with the Air app installer and launch the external program together with the Air app.
How do decide which OS specific file to launch?

var file:File = File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("src/assets/NativeApps");

I am going to be writing an app in flash builder and I want the ability to import CSV data into an SQLite database in Adobe Air/flashbuilder.
I have never done anything like this and am not totally sure where to start.I will want to do some manipulation of the data before I reinsert it. So really I need to know what steps (classes and functions) I need to use to parse the data from a CSV file into an array that can be manipulated in actionscript?
I'm using MTASC's haXe to compile SWF from AS. Considering I don't have Adobe CS, what are our options to extract the action scripts from any FLA file?
I mean different versions, like CS4, CS5, etc. Converting older versions to CS5
Is it possible to install a SQLite database that is readable and writable by all users on a computer (windows or mac)?As far as I've seen in the API docs the only folders I can read/write access to are local to the specific user of the computer.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to use the SecureSWF demo to package an Adobe AIR application in order to determine if we should buy the full version of SecureSWF for our project. The AIR file was created with the Flash CS5 authoring tool (not Flex).
However, I have not been able to find clear instructions on how to secure an AIR file using the software. I opened the installer (my_installer.air) in the program and it prompted me to find the adt.jar file; however, searching my system I found about 10 of these, relating to different Adobe programs. I chose the one associated with Flash CS5. I selected my certificate and signed it with the correct password. Right now I am just running in test mode to try to get a working file. However, after running secureSWF on the file, it will not install, giving the error "The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
I have a feeling that this has something to do with either the adt.jar file or the certificate not being signed properly. But I have no idea what to do now and we really need to be able to obfuscate this project.
Has anyone used secureSWF with AIR before? Am I doing this wrong (i.e. should I be using the program with the project's swf file instead?)
I'm having trouble creating an XML file from Air. It always seems to have some extra character in front of the first block in the xml file like this "„". This application can read back out of the document, but if i open it with a text editor to make a change and save it, it will no longer open in my application. When I create this XML file, the whole reason I want to use an XML is so that I can possibly edit it on another computer, or in a text editor, and send it back.
Right now I'm creating the XML like this:
var myXML:XML = <motor>
<type>{motor.type}</type>
<shopLocation>{motor.shopLocation}</shopLocation>
<customer>{motor.customer}</customer>
<tech>{motor.tech}</tech>
