AIR 3.4 was just released, with features like workers and native APN support. How do I upgrade my existing Flash Builder installation to use the new AIR SDK? Upgrading Flash Builder 4.6 to AIR 3.4 Directions for Mac OSX. 1) Go to the sdks directory in your existing FB directory. On my machine it's /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks. EDIT: I discovered that the merged Flex/AIR SDK is available here: http://gaming.adobe.com/getstarted/ The merged version of the instructions I had here before do not result in a stable SDK. Download the SDK from the link above, unzip it somewhere (be aware

In the middle of a large publishing project, and the sheer scale is weighing me down. Many deadlines coming down the pipe, and most of my trouble is tedium and repetitive tasks. I need to pick up the basics of InDesign scripting pronto, and I'm looking for resources or books which will get me up to speed. I get Java, XML and some web techs... I am not a programming professional, however, and JavaScript is new to me. Mac/Linux, if it matters. Advice? Thanks in advance. @niteshade -- Old thread here, but check out http://codingbat.com/ if you are not so busy now. This is an excellent site for

How can the text in a Label control (or a similar control) be wrapped in Flex 4 beta? In Flex 3 I could use the Text control but this is no longer available in Flex 4. You can use maxDisplayedLines and lineBreak properties with spark Label component: <s:Label maxDisplayedLines="{-1}" lineBreak="toFit" text="...." /> It works with Flex 4.5. Try <s:SimpleText /> . From the excellent Migration Guide (p. 75): The lightest-weight component of the text primitives. The SimpleText class supports the least number of text features. This class is similar to the Label class, except that it supports

I want to open pdf in Air for Android/Black berry. How i do that? I use AIR 2.6 and IDE is Flash Builder 4.5. StageWebView. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS901d38e593cd1bac3ef1d28412ac57b094b-8000.html Example copied from the link above: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.media.StageWebView; import flash.geom.Rectangle; public class StageWebViewExample extends MovieClip{ var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView(); public function StageWebViewExample() { webView.stage = this.stage; webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );

So I have a PDF doc that has 25 check boxes called "cb1" through "cb25". I would like to be able to count the number of boxes that are checked and put that count into a text box area called "Points". I'm not very familiar with either JS or PDF form creation but from what I've been able to dig up I think I'm close to getting it to work. I have added the following code to the document level: function CountCheckBoxes(aFieldsNames) { // count field names that have been selected var count = 0; // loop through array of field names for (i = 0; i < aFieldNames.length; i++) { // for field names with a

I am trying to build an Adobe AIR app that runs on two monitors with an extended desktop. Is that possible? I've read fullscreen is restricted to a single display and the only option is to maximize the app to both displays. Is that right? If so, how can I hide OSX top menu bar? Just for the record, OSX does not allow you to have more than one full screen applications (of any kind, not just AIR) open at the same time nor it let's you to expand a full screen app to more than one display. tsugua An application window can span multiple displays as long as the window is sized properly. Menubar and

I am trying to work with "Adobe Native Extensions" - one of the newest features released in Adobe Flash Builder 4.5. I am trying to communicate between Adobe AIR and a native C++ application on Windows 7 with the help of Adobe Native extensions. (Of course, we can do this today with NativeProcess APIs, but ANE is much more powerful) I followed the steps mentioned in the following article: http://thingsico.de/blog/tag/native-extensions/ created the sample DLL using cygwin to compile the C++ code (integrated the FlashRuntimeExtensions.h and FlashRuntimeExtensions.lib during compilation) built

Ok i wrote and application that use Adobe ActiveX control for displaying PDF files. Adobe ActiveX control load files only from file system. So i nead to feed a file path to this control. Problem is that i don't want to store PDF files on file system. Event temporary! I wan't to store my PDF files only in memory , and i want to use Adobe ActiveX control. So i nead: 1) A way to fake file on a file system. So this control would "think" that there is a file, but would load it from memory 2) A way to create file on file system that would be "visible" to only one application, so my PDF control could

We're writing a bunch of .jsx scripts and in each I have to mock out some functions so I can use things like Array.map() and String.trim(), but I don't want to have to include that code at the top of every script. Is there a way to "include" other .jsx scripts inside of a .jsx script file? Armin Or you can simply use #include and #includepath preprocessor directives at the top of your script. You can find a detailed description in Adobe's "JavaScript Tools Guide" . For example, if you want to include scripts/helper.jsx in a .jsx file: #include "scripts/helpers.jsx" // the rest of your code
