I get inspired by the excellent tutorial Napolux , Flex 3, Adobe AIR and the API Feedburner , which shows how to write a simple application (or widget) Adobe AIR using Flex 3, to show how to make the exact same thing using Adobe Flash CS3. If you wish, also, you can use the extension for creating Adobe AIR applications. It is not necessary for the purposes of this tutorial, complete the application as an AIR executable, you can use the proposed code as a simple Flash movie to be "affixed" to your Web pages

Creating Desktop Applications with Google Chrome and Firefox?
Google Chrome allows you to create desktop applications from a Web page? In fact, as shown in the menu item is only allowed to create a shortcut to a link which - in turn - open a window without address bar and without all the "frills" of the browser. This does not mean that we have created a desktop application, we have just created a link to the same Google Chrome mode - so to speak-chrome-less.
Feature simle, but more ambitious, had already been proposed by the Mozilla Foundation in 2007, via Project Prism . This is certainly the most versatile and articulate, even accompanied by a useful extension that allows you to create desktop applications menu of FireFox, the same way as Google Chrome .
However, both solutions are far from technology Adobe AIR . Before anyone confuses it should be noted the substantial differences between a desktop shortcut that opens a window with no menus, and a desktop application and its true.
Adobe AIR , in fact, unlike the solutions offered by Google Chrome and Prism allows you to:
- Virtually complete access to the system running the application with the ability to read and write files. Possibility to extend its functionality via dll (dynamic link library), extensions and third-party products such as SHU Player (see Deploy Adobe AIR: AIR Badge from a SHU Player )
- Manages the application as the other system applications: Install and Uninstall
FireFox 3 RC1 Acid 3
Deploy Adobe AIR: AIR Badge from a SHU Player
Adobe AIR applications have the advantage of being relatively small in file size due to the installation of separate libraries Adobe AIR 1.0 runtime . This advantage, however, can become a real problem when you are preparing to deploy an Adobe AIR, is on the network (ie the browser) is a rigid support such as a CD / DVD.
Four browsers: Acid 3 tests a disappointment ...
To paraphrase the movie Four Brothers, that's who passed the Acid 3 Test!

Adobe AIR FAQ: Everything You Need to Know
By turning on various blog (thanks Frank) and through discussions with Julius , I realized that in addition to the extreme interest in Adobe AIR , there is also much confusion, and rightly so. Both developers and users continue to not be clear what it is, what you serve and how developments in Adobe AIR . I decided, therefore, to gather the various threads in this sort of FAQ to try to clear a little 'what is actually hiding behind Adobe AIR.

Ggoal: user generated search all made in Italy
It was recently inaugurated a new and interesting experimental project within sviluappato Fluilink , an Italian company specialized since 2001 in developing web applications and multimedia. Ggoal is a search engine that sees the contribution of its main users of innovation. No spider or crawler is in fact available! Are the subscribers to the system and to provide key links to various topics. One goal of Ggoal as sottolieato by one of its creators, Giulio Giorgetti, "[...] is to become step by step in a search engine alternative to existing search engines by providing quality research and intelligent." The beta version, released in January 2008, already implements: search, share, tag navigation, bookmarking, wishlist, search engine customized for each user. A video guide, on the site, contains a clear and simple functionality of the system.
Flash CS3 Professional: unformatted code
I guess I wonder why Adobe with a list of bugs growing!?. The bug I found, in CS3 Professional in Italian, is very troublesome and dangerous. Eye to the following code:
1 2 3 |
After the automatic formatting:
1 2 3 |
He removed the brackets in the calculation max-min+1 ! That, of course, no longer returns the correct value! . The brackets, in fact, it is vital since it allows to multiply Math.random() for the entire result of the expression (max-min+1) . e poi, al risultato di questa moltiplicazione, viene sottratto (min+1) !! In the second case, after the code was "sformattato", Math.random() is multiplied "only" to the max and then, the result of this multiplication is subtracted (min+1) ! I explained that only needs to be complete ... but I think it was clear to everyone ...
Evidently the house Adobe really think that mathematics is an opinion!?
This is a bug of dangerous if the formatting codes bodied ... "upsets" the code, it becomes a serious problem going to put everything back in place! I hope that Adobe may provide a patch soon! So WARNING! Let me know if it does to you, to your version ...
