AIR Beyond the Basics

I did my “AIR Beyond the Basics” talk at Flash on the Beach on Tuesday and was pretty happy with the turnout — especially since I was up against a jam session with Keith Peters, Joa Ebert, Ralph Hauwert, Carlos Ulloa, Mario Klingemann and Andre Michelle ;)

The internet connection unfortunately failed on me and had to skip over a couple of cool demo’s — think I’ll do a recording soon walking you through the various code samples and post it here. If you want to give it a try yourself in the meanwhile you can download the source code from the link below.

Example code includes:

Network monitoring
Windowing API
HTML engine
FileSystem API
SQLite databases
Drag ‘n Drop 		Clipboard access
Update API
EncryptedLocalStore
Launch AIR app from an AIR app
Merapi – Launch native application
Merapi – Text to speech

Feel free to get in touch if you’ve got any questions about these AIR APIs and I’ll be happy to help you out.

    Your session was very useful to me. It was a pity not to have a decent connection, but anyway you didn’t seem to panic (i certainly would). Thanks for both the speech and the source code.

    Problem:
    AIR application getting data via Merapi Bridge from a JAVA app.

    Description:
    AIR Application is unable to receive data more than say (300 elements of double data types). Merapi bridge is being used. It looks like at Java end the data is being sent to the Bridge, but at AIR end any data set more than some small cut off (some where around 300 elements) the application is unable to receive. AIR application spits a run time exception as shown below:

    Error: Error #2030: End of file was encountered.
    at flash.utils::ByteArray/readObject()
    at merapi.io.amf::AMF3Reader/read()[/Users/adam/dev/os/merapi/source/flex/merapi/src/merapi/io/amf/AMF3Reader.as:52]
    at merapi::Bridge/handleReceiveSocketData()[/Users/adam/dev/os/merapi/source/flex/merapi/src/merapi/Bridge.as:168]
