I didn't change anything else either. It updates - but it just breaks the
Desktop Alias on Windows 7 and above...
I am using the built in AIR installers and badge page and the built in air
update ui classes...
Do I need a to include a .swc to use this? It is working without one.
I am using AIR 14.0 SDK on FB 4.7 - maybe I'll try updating to AIR 15 - any
input on where instructions to do this would be to do this?
My code...
import air.update.events.UpdateEvent;
import air.update.ApplicationUpdaterUI;
protected var appUpdater:ApplicationUpdaterUI = new
ApplicationUpdaterUI();
init... this.checkUpdate();
appUpdater.updateURL = "http://*/update.xml";;
appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, onUpdate);
appUpdater.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, onUpdaterError);
appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false; // don't ask to check
appUpdater.isDownloadUpdateVisible = false; // don't ask to do
appUpdater.isDownloadProgressVisible = false; // don't show download
progress
appUpdater.isInstallUpdateVisible = false; // don't ask to launch the
updator and install the app.
appUpdater.initialize();
}
protected function onUpdate(event:UpdateEvent):void {
appUpdater.checkNow();
}
protected function onUpdaterError(event:ErrorEvent):void
{
Alert.show(event.toString());
}
How do we know that this
