Adobe AIR Development

Hello!

Hope, someone can help me with that...

So, I'm using flash cs5.5 with air sdk 3.5, I can build app, deploy it to my playbook, but when I lauch it, it closes right away.

I have also tried with air sdk 2.6 - same result.

what I have:

blackberry table sdk 2.1 -latest

playbook os 2.1.0.1088 - latest

air sdk 3.5 and 2.6

Simplest "hello world" application just doesn't launch...

Thank you!

It is crashing. Try running in debug and you will get a trace in where it is crashing.

AIR SDK 3.5? BB only runs on AIR SDK 3.1.

OK, then how can I debug with flash cs on my device?

Thank you!

UPD: found some docs on command line debug, give it a try.

[lokiby]

Well, no luck with debugger.

I start fdb, then make "run" command.

Then I do the following command:

blackberry-airpackager -target bar-debug -connect [YOUR COMPUTER'S IP ADDRESS] -package HelloWorld.bar -installApp -launchApp HelloWorld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf [ICON FILE NAME] -device [PLAYBOOK IP ADDRESS] -password [SIMULATOR PASSWORD] -devMode

Get the following results:

Applicarion launch, closes and nothing happens.

What do I do wrong?

You might also review this very old post by Renaun Erickson of Adobe.  It was written in late 2010 to a very early AIR SDK release but you may find some things to check.  I'm not a Flash Pro user so I don't grok the blog post, but I do recall that prior to PlayBook launch, RIM/Adobe webinars did address getting Flash Pro-authored apps onto PlayBook.

Looks like nothing works for me.

I hae tried on simulator as well, it crashes.

I have tried to reinstall flash and  blackberry sdk, that didn't help.

But I have made some test apps before and everything was fine.

Can anybody provide me with working test AIR .bar file, so I can try it?

Thank you.

Hi

this is most likely caused by the fact you are using AIR 3.5 to compile your application, as suggested before by jtegen.

I'm not used to Flash CS configuration, but you have to follow and adapt to Flash the instructions from here.

It basically tells that the code has to be compatible with Flash 11, using the compiler option -swf-version 14, and also passing to the blackberry-airpackager command line the option "-forceAirVersion 3.1".

I hope that helps.

[lokiby]

Yeah, but I have removed Air3.5, and reinstalled flash cs, so it's coming with Air 2.6 now.

You need to have AIR 3.1 installed. AIR 2.6 might be causing the crash as well.
