Hello I'm having a bit of a newbie problem understanding exactly how I can get our Flex application running on our Unix machine. I'm not the flex coder, but I'm the Unix guy, so getting it running is up to me.
The issue is that our Unix machine is an OLPC XO machine. (See laptop.org if you're not familiar with it.) I can get our application on the XO without any problems, I can unzip and I see the .swf file. I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to LAUNCH the .swf file. I tried downloading and installing the AIR runtime, that seemed to go ok but the docs say that the runtime should be in /opt/Adode AIR/ and that folder is empty. I've tried opening it in Browse (the XO's web browser) and I do get a "click to play" text link but clicking it doesn't do anything. I've read that I can launch it by running adl from the command line but I don't see how to get adl on my system without having the user install the SDK and it isn't clear to me that I'm allowed to distribute Adobe's SDK anyhow Note: The self installer works fine under Windows (well, not 100% happy with Vista) and we can get it running under OS X, so we know that the app itself is fine. I think I'm just missing some tiny point about installation, I'd love it if someone could point it out to me. Thank you. Paul Cezanne Open Learning Exchange
