Compile AIR to native .dmg or .exe files with ANT

date 16th August 2010 user Marvin Blase

An upcoming question in publish- & packaging AIR files is "How to convert them to a .dmg or .exe file?" Easily enough, you do not have to do anything else except using a slightly different ANT build task for it. Instead of passing:

PLAIN TEXT
XML:
  1. <arg value="${publish_dir}/${air_file}" />
  2. <arg value="${app_descriptor}" />

to the ADT you use:

PLAIN TEXT
XML:
  1. <arg value="-target"/>
  2. <arg value="native"/>
  3. <arg value="${publish_dir}/MyApp.dmg" />
  4. <arg value="${app_descriptor}" />

Add Linked Resources (as a src folder) to ANT builds

date 13th August 2010 user Marvin Blase

Here's another quick snippet to add Linked Resources to a compile process built with ANT. You know, you can link a whole directory to be a "Linked Library" in FDT, e.g. Greensock's TweenLite. Doing so means that you cannot use the -library-path argument as it only work with .swc files. Instead of this use -source-path to successfully add a whole directory to be compiled into your SWF.

PLAIN TEXT
XML:
  1. <arg value="-source-path=/Users/marvin/libs/greensock-as3" />

This way you can use it in an AIR build as well and you do not have to replace your directory based libraries with SWC files.

Chromeless AIR Applications – A Designer’s Look

date 13th August 2010 user Marvin Blase

Hey,
first of all - some of you may have noticed this is the third AIR related article in two days. I'm very excited at the moment due to the fact I can finally compile them with FDT4. Anyways, I want to store my process and failures, hints and tips to always know where I myself and you of course can find them. So this article now comes a bit more from the designer in me, as it's about chromeless designs. They can be awesome if well thought - and they can be a bit frustrating when setting up the first time. I quickly talk about the following:

  • Scaling ain't good, no no
  • My misunderstanding of window sizes
  • systemChrome and transparent values

Now here's the 2010 update, working with AIR2 and FDT4 (using an ANT-Build) and some major changes.

Desktop Reporting for Google Analytics

date 1st October 2009 user Marvin Blase

Wow, somebody thought somewhere that somehow the Google Analytics interface could become somewhat more trendy. And this thought also included making it available from Desktop. Smart idea and even smarter AIR-Application that Desktop Reporting has developed. These guys made it possible to provide you with even more detailed information than the GA-Interface does for pretty intermediate users. Starting with cool animations showing progresses up to detailed map-overlays and charts. It's worth a try! You can check it out here: Desktop Reporting for Google Analytics.

Another cool alternative has been shown here already: Trakkboard - Google Analytics in AIR (german Powerflasher-Blog) Thanks for that information @Powerflasher.
