I'm doing a application using actionScript(Air 2). I want to know if a software is installed on user's pc, for example, I want to know if the user installed "Adobe Digital Editions", so I can open ebooks by that. How to do that? First I want read from the registry, but Air cannot read registry, and my boss said it's better not to run another "exe" app to read registry
View 2 RepliesI'm using the update function of Adobe Media Encoder and see that an update is available. I click on download and install it. Everything works fine and I get the message that the update was installed successfully. But when I start AME again it still shows 4.0.0.374 instead of 4.1.0 - what's wrong? I never had this problem before. I also tried to download and install the update by hand. Same result.especially when I see that the contact form of Adobe's customer support portal is offline.

I'm using this snippet to check if an app/activity is installed:
public static boolean isIntentAvailable(Context context, String action) {
final PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
final Intent intent = new Intent(action);
List<ResolveInfo> list =
packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
return list.size() > 0;
} public static boolean isScanAvailable(Context context) {
return isIntentAvailable(context, "com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
}
In the above example it checks if the Barcode Scanner App is installed, which works just fine. However, if I try to check for the Adobe Flashplayer using com.adobe.flashplayer it doesn't work and always returns false. Is there a better / more reliable method to check for Flash?

How to check with JS if flash is installed, or not? I don't want to detect the version, or other informations. I want to check only, if it's avaiable, or not.The swfobject library makes it (and many other things, which are unneccessary for that), but I don't want to use a library for only one function.

I'm running XP and have installed 6 .otf fonts, from the Avenir family. Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8 don't see all but the Light and Roman versions of the font (they are the only ones that appear in the font menu). Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop display all the fonts, however.
An associate suggested that sometimes Flash doesn't like the names to be non-standard; in other words, it doesn't like "Heavy", but prefers "Bold", etc. This seems to support the fonts not being displayed in the Flash font menu, as they are AvenirLTStd-Heavy.otf, AvenirLTStd-HeavyOblique.otf, AvenirLTStd-LightOblique.otf and AvenirLTStd-Oblique.otf. The only two being displayed in the font menu are AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf and AvenirLTStd-Light.otf ("Roman" and "Light" are pretty traditional names).
I've tried renaming the fonts to "Bold" and "italic", etc., but Windows still sees the original names. I've tried opening the fonts in Notepad and changing all references (for example, all "Heavy" to "bold"), but saving the font file (even if I add and remove a space) makes it unreadable as a font (security issues, I think). One reason I think it's a naming issue, is I did try renaming Heavy to Roman, and installed it, and Flash saw it as Roman, but it had the Heavy characteristic. This work-around doesn't work, however, as I need Roman, too (and renaming it Roman2 doesn't work). Is there any solution for this? I need access to all of the Avenir font family, as it's for a branded project that uses Avenir specifically. Oh, and last but not least, I have the fonts installed on my Mac, and Flash 8 and CS3 both see all the fonts, no problem.
I use tinychat and tinypic. Now when I go on either one the text is invisible. I cant see any text, its there cause I can copy and paste it. I did not have this problem until I updated my flash.

View 1 RepliesI have a Perl script that uses LWP::UserAgent to download a webpage which it then processes using regular expressions. The problem is that portions of the webpage which are regular HTML aren't being returned to LWP::UserAgent since the site recognizes that the browser doesn't have Flash installed and instead returns HTML prompting us to download Flash instead of the appropriate HTML that we need to parse.
How can I make LWP::UserAgent appear to have flash installed to the web server we're requesting the page from? I'm using the following code to initialize LWP::UserAgent:
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(cookie_jar => { },requests_redirectable => [ ]);
$ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:9.9.9.9) Gecko/20079999 Firefox/2.0.0.1');
$ua->timeout(10);
whatever you wan't to call it. Nevertheless, curious to know if Air can write inside it's own installed package. I'm referring to the OSX '.app' files found in great numbers in the applications folder. Since every one of these can be opened as a regular folder, i'm guessing that's what they are.
What other fancy filewriting tricks am i missing out on?
