hi,
i developing reasonably simple cross-platform dvd-rom using new captive runtime feature of air 3.2 in flash cs6. far things going ok, although there have been number of irritating gotchas have had work round.
my current challenge published .exe file run on computer not have flash player installed.
yes. read right. i've test , seems if user not have flash player installed on machine, cannot run published .exe file successfully. application boots maybe half second exits.
as far can tell (this being first project i've used air, i'd use director haven't budget upgrade past v10.1) i've published correctly.
i'm using desktop, extended desktop profiles, targeting air 3.2, have created , timestamped .p12 file , selected captive runtime.
the things i've done seems unorthodox a: include absolute bare minimum of files in bundle (it seems take half hour package 2.5gb of video) , b: remove files (while maintaining original directory structure) "myairapp.app" folder in order burn them dvd-rom.
as far testing goes i've been able run fine on authoring machine (win7, 64bit), on couple of machines in office (xp sp3, 32bit) both via usb drive , on mounted , burned dvd-r.
when tried run application on machine no network access , no flash player, application crashed.
i'm hoping there's i've done wrong. reason we're distributing via optical media users have no internet connection , therefore need way access material offline.
cheers,
dan
i published workaround on stack overflow - need force player run in debug mode , can diagnose issues there.
incidentally, problem 1) hadn't set tlf.swz file merged code when published swf file. because machine testing on 2) had no access internet , 3) hadn't included .swz file application, stub .exe unable finish loading , failed, silently. forcing air player debug mode meant caught load of errors blissfully unaware of.
moral of story: make sure know every single part of publishing dialogue or bite right in arse.
