Sweet! It’s an honor to help someone like you!

Thank you!

shayne shiells,

I’m sorry, I don’t have any experience with how to do that with Flash in Adobe AIR. Good luck!

well ive recently finished an app which i made in flash cs4 and converted to an air app….the issue iam having is the update code….iam wanting to create a seamless install and have the air app update the users app when i update mine on my server..ive tried so many options and tried to find info,i think i nearly nailed it,but the update method doesnt seem to work i get an error Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
at VisNova_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[VisNova_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:66]

also this error Error: This method is not supported if application is launched from ADL.
at flash.desktop::Updater/update()

this is my code
import flash.desktop.*;
import flash.filesystem.*;
import flash.net.*;

var updater:Updater = new Updater();
var airFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(“VisNova.air”);
var version:String = “2.01″;
updater.update(airFile, version);

var urlString:String = “http://visnova.biz/AIR/vis/VisNova.air”;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString);
var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
var fileData:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
urlStream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
urlStream.load(urlReq);
function loaded(event:Event):void {
urlStream.readBytes(fileData, 0, urlStream.bytesAvailable);
writeAirFile();
}
function writeAirFile():void {
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(“My App VisNova.air”);
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeBytes(fileData, 0, fileData.length);
fileStream.close();

}

iam not very experienced with as3 and this is my first air app,but its for my users that buy my products,so its very important to me….if someone is willing to help,i will pay for there services…you can contact me at shayne@visnova.biz

thanks….Shayne Shiells

No, not at the moment, but if you want to give it a go, feel free!

Sorry, no ideas there.

hai anh,

Sorry, I have no idea how to solve that.

Here is my code
test.mxml

htmlwithJS.html

If I run AIR app the error message is : ReferenceError: Can’t find variable: ActiveXObject but if I run each htmlwithJS.html I can see it load MS Word document. Why it is wrong?
Thank any suggest!!!

Anyone seen a packaged script like this that handles docking and undocking an air application to the system tray. I can’t seem to find anything that doesn’t rely on Flash, Flex or AS3.

There’s also an element named cancel-update expected, if you look closer in the compareVersions method. Just make sure to have an element named that, and a click on it will hide the update dialog.

but I’ve been trying to figure it out all day.

How do I provide an ok/cancel (or yes/no) confirmation window within the application when it loads to state there’s an update available and give the user the option to upgrade now?

I see the “release-notes” and “update-application” in the js above, but everything I’ve tried on my application didn’t seem to do anything.

I have the above code in a js file and imported in the header.

Many thanks,
Shannon

Absolutely, that could be an interesting option!

The code to download would be very similar to initUpdateApplication above, and when it’s done the app could display its own message if you want, or it could just start using the updated files seamlessly.

At work we have a digital sign app which gets new XML playlists and data feeds, FLV / SWF video ads and static image ads, and they automatically update those assets without AIR’s update framework, and when the app itself needs a fix, it uses the update framework.
