Adobe should make some noise

Published on March 20, 2008 in Audio and Flash Player. 0 Comments

I really love the work of André Michelle and Joa Ebert, especially if it’s about some cool audio stuff! But the Flash Player doesn’t provide enhanced audio support, actually it seems to get worse.

So we all should support the Adobe, MAKE SOME NOISE campain!

Write with AIR applications to the application resource directory

Published on March 12, 2008 in AIR. 1 Comment

AIR applications are not permitted to write to the application resource directory. This seems to be a security feature and makes sense, because some systems would not allow to write into this directory at system level.

But for testing purposes you might hack this by using a single line of code:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. // Writing into that file would fail
  2. var yourFileInAppDir: File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( "yourFile.xml" );
  3. // This is the simple hack:
  4. yourFileInAppDir = new File( yourFileInAppDir.nativePath );

But this only avoids a AIR security error! You must be sure to have write access to the directory!
