I wanted to let users browse my site as a desktop application,
but didn't have the time to write an application from scratch.
SO tried following trick.
Created a simple Adobe AIR application with a single page.
This page redirects to my website and hence loads the website in the AIR window.
Everything is working fine except that the download links are not working. The download doesn't start. Nothing happens. What is the solution here?
Any help is appreciated.
Well... Adobe AIR doesn't support downloading from a link.
But it does provide you the option to open a link in your default browser. I am using this now.

I'm a blogger striving to make my website stable so that I start focusing on writing blogs. Currently, I'm facing several issues but I will be addressing the most important one here. I use auto ads on my website that worked perfectly since yesterday. Immediately, ads stopped working in the header section on the desktop. Although it is working on mobile but unable to display homepage ads, especially on desktop. I've tried disabling plugins to check if it conflicts with any of them, tried restoring a backup to a date where everything was working fine, and tried placing manual Adsense codes on my header section of the website, but nothing worked for me. I've no idea what just happened. Please someone assist me in a better way. Thanks for reading patiently.

I'm looking for an easy to use but fast web scraping tool. I recently started experimenting with Kimono after the acquisition of Kimono and transition to a desktp app. I got stuck when I tried to go back and edit and finish my API. I tried to follow the instructions in the help menu. I opened the desktop app, opened my API then clicked on the [Edit] button. It switched to my browser and opened up the target URL. But I got nothing from Kimono - no menu bar. I'm not sure if the extension is supposed to open automatically, but it gave me no hint what I was supposed to do next, so I opened the chrome extension. There are no "properties" (or what I would usually call fields or table columns). I don't know how to open the existing API in chrome. Disclosure: I opened a thread prevviously and got some good advice, but I got stuck again and didn't get any further response. I'd reallly appreciate any advice you all can give me.

I'm trying to turn a website of mine into an executable for Windows with Adobe Air.
Everything seems to be in order, but I couldn't quite figure out how to save a file from a download link.
I saw this answer that is suggesting that this is not supported by air, but it is possible to download links via an installed browser (IE for example?)
I also tried to search the official documation and found that there are loading external data possibilites but as I didn't see a way to save the incoming result locally, i couldn't get that to work.
1) How can I accomplish this? Are there working code examples available anywhere?
2) How can I make files download on a web browser from an AIR app?
3) What other options do I have?
Thanks a lot.
I couldn't get a download to work with the HTMLLoader class too.
The only working solution might be to start the download with a browser.
var url:String = "site.com/download.zip";
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
We have been facing a weird problem with PDF documents displayed in Safari. This problem is reproducible in many of our machines. The problem is like this..
Adobe Reader has support for hit highlighting in PDF documents when it is being viewed in any browser. For example,
http://www.mysite.com/myfile.pdf#xml=http://www.somesite.com/words.txt
This URL should highlight the words specified in words.txt file. But, unfortunately many of our Safari browsers (on Windows machines) don't highlight any text in opened pdf file. The same URL works fine in rest of the browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome). I could not figure out where the problem is!
Can anybody please help me on this?
Thanks in advance,
Safari uses a built-in PDF plugin exclusive to safari (even on iPhone)
This is different from the Adobe's plugin and the API is different too.
Most of the things that work with the Adobe plugin won't work with the one inside Safari.
you may be able to find information about forcing Safari to use the Adobe Reader plugin (Google is your friend) but that would be a per user setting, something you cannot control on everybody's machine.
I'm also looking for help on this to control pdf files inside safari using javascript.
