I'm writing all sorts of multi lingual text to .txt files using AIR's fileStream.writeUTFBytes() For english characters everything works perfectly. But as soon as there are chinese, arabic or any other non-english characters the sentences are totally messed up. For example: 对着大叔摄影师的确没爱.... becomes ÂØπÁùħßÂèîÊëÑÂΩ±Â∏àÁöÑÁ°ÆÊ≤°Áà...
I'm using the Flex 4/Adobe AIR mx:HTML control in a project and I'm trying to figure out how to change the middle mouse behavior. For some reason the control treats middle mouse clicks and drags exactly the same as left mouse clicks and drags, navigating through links and selecting text -- everything. For my project I need to use the m...

Hey Stack Overflow community, Another 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). Thanks, Mauricio Update: I tried the following approach, but I was still able to open the file, edit,...
When dealing with a flash application that will run in a browser, it's obvious that the browser will cache some of the HTTP requests. But when dealing with a desktop AIR application, what's caching them? Is it the OS, or the AIR container? Reason I'm asking is that I've recently dealt with a really ugly and time consuming memory leak th...

What are the best practices for delivering an Adobe Air app that needs a private key in order to communicate with some online API? Adobe Air apps seem like they are delivered to the user with full source code, so storing any keys within the source would be a really bad idea. I've read some suggestions saying to download the key from you...
Hi all, I'm having a very strange issue, it looks like my application can't create file anymore. It works w/ directories, but the so-many-times-used resolvePath() methods doesn't. Here is what I do : var databaseFileContent : File = new File(File.desktopDirectory.nativePath + "/testing"); databaseFileContent.createDirectory(); databa...
Is it possible for an Adobe AIR application to connect to a remove webservice that does not expose a cross-domain.xml file? If so, how do you configure the security sandbox within Air to allow this? I have attempted a socket connection and received the following error: securityErrorHandler: [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityErro...

Waiting for the help...
This might sound like a really stupid question, but is there anyway to run an Adobe AIR application in a headless server side mode on a non-UI server (i.e. Linux)? I'm trying to build server side bots to interact with an API (grapevinetalk.com) and I want to use existing code to do that without having to re-write all the data munging et...
I'm currently building a HTML/JS AIR application. The application needs to display to the user a different 'window' - dependant on whether this is the first time they've launched the application or not. This part is actually fine and I have the code below to do that: if(!startUp()) { // this simply returns a boolean from a local prefere...
