I have an AIR app with the following EXIT handler defined: NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING, applicationExitHandler); applicationExitHandler makes an asynchronous logout request via an HttpService. Since this is asynchronous, it looks like the Application's exit() method returns before the logout re...

I've never used LocalConnection before, but from what I understood from the online reference, I need to specify the same connection name on both the sender and the receiver.

Given that Flex is still a relatively young technology, there are already a bunch of architectural frameworks available for Flex/AIR (and Flash) development, the main ones being Cairngorm and PureMVC. The amount of architectural frameworks is remarkable compared to other technologies. I was wondering how many of you use an architectural...
Hi - How can I set the native window position when maximized? I've tried repositioning it upon the DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE event which sort of works - but the window flashes at maximized size before repositioning, and more importantly the 'maximize' button of the window is still active. What I'm trying to achieve is simply a fixed width w...
Hello, I'm currently experimenting with loading external SWF files from both an standard AS3 application, and an AIR application. It seems that the AIR application doesn't act the same way a standard SWF run by the Flash Player does. According to the documentation, the applicationDomain property of LoaderContext is usable in an AIR app...

I'm write a Air application that consumes a beta webservice API. Sometimes this APIreturns me a malformed XML node and actionscript will raise an error when I try creating the XML object out of it.

I've noticed that there are certain AIR options that don't work in the flash test player (the one that previews movies when you Ctrl + enter). One example is NativeApplication.startAtLogin. If it is called from the standalone player (double clicking on the swf file, for example) it works, but if i test it on the flash ide it will throw...

We have an Adobe AIR application which could be possibly downloaded from multiple domains. And when it's run, it should connect back to the site it was downloaded from to get data to show to the user. So far we have a separate application build for each domain with a site URL hardcoded into it. And I wonder is there a way for AIR applic...
