I'm looking for a simple, clean and memory-efficient way to create and apply a reflection effect (you know the one, popularized by the famed iPhone UI) to the bitmap images I've loaded into a Flex app at runtime. The source images will be of varying types (JPGs, PNGs, etc.), but an acceptable solution can assume each image is already lo...
I am working on an AIR application that I hope to offer to small businesses in the next year or two. I think Flex/AIR are great technologies, being cross-platform is very important to me, etc. Besides enterprise apps, is anyone developing applications in AIR that 'regular people' are buying? If so, which ones? If not, why not? ...
What exactly is Adobe Air? I've seen a lot of people talking about it and I've even seen applications for it but I'm still not entirely sure what makes it unique or how it is different from other languages. Can someone please give me the concise version from a programmer's point of view? Edit: I wasn't familiar with Flex so I found this...
Have been studying the file system related classes of Adobe AIR 1.5, but so far I've not seen anything that mentions how to interact with stdin/stdout/stderr. Is a bit surprising as AIR makes it possible to otherwise interact with the local file system, and there is a FileStream class. Am wanting to launch an AIR app from a parent proce...
I'm trying to request a HTTP resource that requires basic authorization headers from within an Adobe AIR application. I've tried manually adding the headers to the request, as well as using the setRemoteCredentials() method to set them, to no avail. Here's the code: <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; ...
Hi, I'm trying to attach a database(db2.sqlite) to a currently open database(db1.sqlite) and copy the contents of one of the tables in db2 into one of the tables in db1. The logical way to do this I thought was to use the attach command and then select all from db2 and insert into db1:- attach 'C:\db2.sqlite' as newData; insert into ma...
I'm creating an AIR application which connects to a SQLite database. The database balks at this insert statement, and I simply cannot figure out why. There is no error, it simply does not move on. INSERT INTO Attendee (AttendeeId,ShowCode,LastName,FirstName,Company,Address,Address2,City,State,ZipCode,Country,Phone,Fax,Email,BuyNum,Prim...
I don't know much about AIR apps, but I like what I'm seeing so far. So now, I'm wondering if this type of app would make sense in the intranet at work. Before I invest time and effort into ramping up on AIR development, I would like to know: is it possible for an AIR app on Windows to do single sign-on authentication against Active...
I'd like to build a special AIR launcher program in C along the lines of java.exe. I've looked at running AIR programs with a process viewer and was able to locate the AIR runtime DLL that is being used. AIR programs are different than Java in that they are installed as platform-specific executables that bind the AIR runtime as an in-pr...

Does anyone know if there is a simple way of catching the hovered link url in an AIR HTML control? Just like in a browser, I would like the url to be displayed in a status bar but I can't find any event that is raised on rollover of a link. Do you I need to inspect and perhaps manipulate the DOM myself for that? ...
Given: A Flex TileList with the following event: <mx:nativeDragDrop> <![CDATA[ if(event.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT)) { var files:Array = event.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array; for each(var file:File in files) { // file.data is null here! } ...
I'm working on an AIR application that uses a local SQLite database and was wondering how I could manage database schema updates when I distribute new versions of the application. Also considering updates that skip some versions. E.g. instead of going from 1.0 to 1.1, going from 1.0 to 1.5. What technique would you recommend? ...
Has anyone noticed how creating new instances of a MovieClip (and likely other objects as well) in AIR causes some strange effects? If you use Senocular's method by grabbing the object constructor and creating a new instance of the MovieClip, you end up with a new MovieClip with 0 frames. I don't want to draw bitmapData's of every frame ...
