Using a Flash CS4 asset in Flash Builder AIR application?

Enable applications built using Flash or Flex work with a screen-reader application. Users with these operating systems will continue to be able to install and run AIR 1.5 applications, but will not be able to install or update to the AIR 2 runtime. These operating systems are not supported when developing AIR applications with the AIR 2 SDK.

You must update your application descriptor file to the 2.0 namespace in order to access the new AIR 2 APIs and behavior. If your application does not require the new AIR 2 APIs and behavior, you are not required to update the namespace from 1. X based namespace.

The SecureSocketMonitor class is a new addition that takes advantage of the new SecureSocket class available in AIR 2. The URLFilePromise class implements the IFilePromise interface using an HTTP data source. The entire service monitoring framework, plus the new additions, are now packaged in a new library file, aircore.

Swc and aircore.swf. The original library files, servicemonitoring. Swc and servicemonitoring.

Swf, are still included in the AIR 2 SDK, but use of these files is deprecated. We recommend switching to using aircore. Swc in your Flex- and Flash-based applications, and switching to aircore.

Swf for HTML-based applications. In an AIR application that uses the AIR 2.0 namespace, the value property of an HTML element differs depending on the sandbox of the HTML content. If the document containing the input element is in the application sandbox, the value property is set to the full path of the file chosen by the user (for example, "C:\air\file.

If the document containing the input element is in a non-application sandbox, the value property is set to the file name only (for example, "file. In an AIR application that uses a namespace of 1.5 or earlier, the value property of an HTML element always returns the full path to the file. This is true whether the HTML content is in the application sandbox or in a non-application sandbox.

Please refer to the End User release note for information about Installing and Uninstalling Adobe AIR and about Installing AIR applications. The AIR API versioning scheme is not currently enforced by the ActionScript compiler made available in Flash Professional, Flash Builder, Flash Catalyst, and the Flex SDK. An application using an older AIR namespace (e.g. 1.5) but developed with a tool supporting a newer version of AIR (e.g. 2.0) will be able to successfully reference and compile when using newer APIs.

However, when that application is run, attempting to use one of the newer APIs will result in a runtime error or incorrect behavior. To avoid this issue, we recommend updating your application to the latest namespace supported by the authoring tool in use. The AIR 2 SDK can be used on its own to develop HTML-based AIR applications or with the Flex SDK to develop ActionScript or Flex-based AIR applications.

The Flex SDK is free, open source, and is available for download from http://opensource.adobe.com/. If you are running Flex Builder, exit the application. Make a copy of the Flex SDK that you want to overlay the AIR SDK on top of.

Download the AIR 2 SDK file for your operating system and save it to the root folder of the Flex SDK you made a copy of in the first step. Mac OS: AdobeAIRSDK. Extract the contents of the AIR SDK archive and overwrite the existing SDK files.

Windows: Right-click on the ZIP file and select "Extract All" or use the decompression tool of your choice. Tar jxvf AdobeAIRSDK. Sudo tar jxvf AdobeAIRSDK.

If you use Flash Professional CS4 to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update to the AIR 2 SDK. Update Flash Professional CS4 to the latest update version at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4. Quit Flash Professional CS4 if it is open.

Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.

Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 ORIGINAL". Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created. Copy the "airglobal.

Swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder. Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 SDK. In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 features, you must update your application descriptor file to use the AIR 2.0 namespace.

See the section "Updating Your Application Descriptor Namespace" for additional details on how to update it. You must manually change the application descriptor generated by Flash Professional CS4 for every new AIR 2 project. How to locate the application descriptor file for an existing project.

If you have an existing AIR project, navigate to the folder that contains your SWF file and open the application descriptor file. By default, the name of the application descriptor file will be the name of your . Swf plus include "-app" in the name.

For example, if the .
