I am writing a program that has an AIR front-end, but a back-end written in another language (Python, in this case). Since AIR can't invoke other executables, the relationship has to be the other way around, with Python running an AIR subprocess. How can I locate the user's AIR runtime? I'd like to be able to do this on Mac, Windows, ...
I've been trying to figure out how to print in Adobe AIR. I know the standard javascript functions don't work. The AIRforJSDev guide says: "The window.print() method is not supported within Adobe AIR 1.0. There are other methods available via the exposed AIRAPIs that give you access to printing within the runtime" But I can't find thos...
The purpose of this component is to test knowledge of a student on a given subject - in the example below it would be geography. The student is given a piece of text with missing words in it. He/she has to fill in (type in this case) the missing words - hence this kind of test/exercise is called gap-fill.There could be several sentences ...
Yup, long title. I've been programming in PHP for the last 6 years or so for work and personal projects, but I've got an idea for a desktop app (which incidentally, uses a web REST api). I'm debating on how to approach this - I've got some experience in Java, C++, Perl and Python, but have never had the chance or opportunity to write a...
Has anyone successfully built an Adobe Air application with Maven? If so, what are the steps to get it working? I have been trying to use flex-mojos to build an Air applications. When I set the packaging type to "aswf", as suggested in the DashboardSamplePom, Maven complains that aswf is an unknown packaging type. I also found their ...
I'm completely new to AIR but what I'm trying to do feels like it should be quite easy. I want my AIR app to execute (launch) an SWF in the standalone Flash Player (just like if I were to double click it). Please note that I don't want the AIR app to embed the SWF. Just run it. Can this be done? ...

Anyone know of a good memory/disk caching library for AIR? Extra points for being compatible with Flash CS3, and being free (as in beer). I'd like to cache results of http requests: both binary and text (xml). ...
Is it possible to play video from data that has been embedded in a swf at compile time (with the [Embed] metatag)? The "Import Video->Embed" feature provided by Flash CS3 etc. is not acceptable because it has many severe limitations (including sound synchronization issues, a maximum number of frames, and other caveats) I'm interested i...
I have an AIR application that takes command-line arguments via onInvoke. All is good, but I cannot figure out how to print some status messages back to the user (to stdout / console, so to speak). Is it possible? Even a default log file for traces would be fine, but I can't find any info about it anywhere. Do I need to create my own lo...
I have an AIR app with an <mx:HTML> component, which renders a page that includes an HTML/Javascript-based WYSIWYG/rich-text editor. Various keyboard shortcuts are assigned for formatting and what have you, but if I type a shortcut which isn't assigned (eg. cmd [or ctrl on Win] + M), the character is entered as if no modifier key was pre...
When used in an AIR app, some standard keystrokes in OS X are either ignored or produce "mystery" characters rather than behaving as expected. Examples: option + left arrow should move the caret one word backward, it prints a mystery character ctrl + h should delete one character backward, it prints h How do I support OS X default ke...
Can anyone reccomend some good tutorials for ext js and adobe air? The ones I have seen seem to start with you knowing a lot or already having a lot of code in place. What I am looking for is a simple step by step guide that takes you through the basics of Ext Js in use with adobe air, in fact i suppose just a good Ext Js tutorial for b...
It seems OpenLaszlo can run on AIR. What's less obvious is whether OpenLaszlo apps can use the AIR-specific APIs, like file system access. If so, how exactly is this done? ...
How can I use command line arguments in a creationComplete event handler? It seems the invoke event happens in my AIR app after creationComplete gets called, so I can't use the args in that function, although I really would like to. Any other event that might always fire after the invoke event happens? ...
My Flash (AS3/AIR) application is currently using a slightly unusual architecture (for a Flash app) to provide particular base classes for loaded content at runtime. The external content is published with 'stub' base classes, which are eclipsed by the 'real' base classes at runtime when it is loaded. I've heard this referred to by Adobe ...
Can anyone recommend a good (AS3) logging API for Flash/AIR/Flex? I need something to capture and record mouse and keyboard events in addition to coded events. Preferably something well documented/supported. Thanks in advance. ...
I'm currently developing an html/ajax air app and am about to invest some effort into making animations using jQuery. I could do this quite a bit easier using the css animations if air had that recent a version of WebKit. I know some people have alpha/beta versions of air 1.5. If you do, can you let me know? ...
I want to be able to launch a third party process from within an Adobe AIR application (actually a command line process). Is there a security context that AIR apps run in that prevents this? ...
