Hi,

I am using FlashDevelop with flex_sdk_4.1.0.16076 and Air 2.5 SDK - can you change the Flex SDK your Flex Builder uses?

I think the Native Process API requires AIR 2.0 at least. You also have to setup your #AppName-app.xml file to have the "extendedDesktop" permissions:

<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop desktop</supportedProfiles>

    I think Launchpad will automatically generate the correct file for you.

    Make sure that application.xml has the correct AIR version:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0";>

Hope this helps - I am not sure about Flex vs Flashbuilder and SDK versions.

Glen

Thanks a lot for the help Glen,

One more question, I am using flex builder 3 and flex SDK 3.2.0, But I am
not able to find the nativeprocess API in this configuration. I tried
overlaying adobe air 2.0 on flex SDK 3.2.0 as mentioned in some forums but
still it does not work. Do I need flash builder 4 to make the nativeprocess
API work.

Thanks Again,
Sumeet Kumar

Hi,

      Not sure, but if AppleScript files can be executable like shell scripts
in Linux, then you can call them from Air desktop using the Native Process
API.

      If you download Air Launchpad and get it to generate the source code
example for the Native Process API, you can then hack it to try your code,
see my example below which starts an SSH session using putty on Windows -
did not try on Mac as I don't have one, but should also be able to make it
work on Linux.

Hi All,



Is there any way by which I can call Applescript from Adobe air?

Any help or suggestion on this regard would be great.
