I have been using adobe flash CS5 with adobe air 2.0, and I want to use air 17 the newest version, I have been having trouble finding out how to do this because all the tutorials online overlay 2.6 with a newer version. In version 2.0 there is no air for android only air for ios so I cannot update the android.xml file that is mentioned in most tutorials. Any ideas on how to do this?
Download latest AIR from Adobe labs. or from here.
Once it downloaded, extract in a right place, then open Flash -> navigate to Help -> Manage Adobe AIR SDK.
On the popup window, Click the plus(+) button from the right side,
And locate the extracted folder.

I have a Java Swing application that is using JxBrowser. Now, I am upgrading JxBrowser from version 6.20 to 7.9. When loading a web page with Adobe Flash content in the old version, it works just fine. The Flash content is shown without any problem. With JxBrowser 7.9, I get: Right click to run Adobe Flash Player.
Page with Adobe Flash in JxBrowser 7.9
What do I need to do so that it just runs like before? I tried this:
browser.settings().enablePlugins();
But that didn't help. What am I missing?
I have a android 4.1.2 device and my adobe air as3 apk runs on it. I also have a 4.4.2 device, and the apk doesn't run on that one. I am having a tough time finding out what's wrong, though. Has anyone found this problem too? I would love ddms output, like I am used to from eclipse, but I don't know how to start.
I've googled a little, but the problem seems to be mine alone. I am using Flash CS6 on a windows install as my development environment. Also, the AIR version on CS6 is 3.4.
Any help would be appreciated. I am using a captive runtime.
It's because of the old AIR version. Here's a link saying that the 'new' 3.9 now supports KitKat (Android 4.4.2): http://news.softpedia.com/news/Adobe-Air-with-Android-4-4-KitKat-Support-Out-Now-on-Google-Play-417056.shtml
Try updating your SDK AND your AIR on the phone.
here is the link to download latest air version

As simple as the title,
I want my project to run from an executable file rather than an swf
I know about the 'create projector' option but the latest flash player has this option grayed out.
I use flash develop if it matters
Thanks in advance
As Flextras mentioned in the comments you can distribute your AIR app as an exe+dmg by packaging it as a captive runtime.
This will bundle the AIR runtime alongside your app and will not require the user to have anything else installed. Everything needed will be contained in the application binary.
You can use adt to build your exe,
http://www.tricedesigns.com/2011/08/10/air-3-0-captive-runtime/
adt -package SIGNING_OPTIONS? -target bundle SIGNING_OPTIONS? <output-package> ( <app-desc> FILE-OPTIONS | <input-package> )

You can also build it right from Flash Builder 4.6+

If you do have dependencies you can also package your AIR app as a native desktop installer,

If you run your .swf file using Flash Player 10.1, you can find Create Projector option still available. It looks like Adobe wants all the desktop applications to use AIR SDK and thus this option to Create Projector is greyed out. I am still stuck with fp 10.1 because of this.
Projector Export (Flash CC)
Projectors are Flash files that contain both the published SWF and Flash Player. Projectors can play like an ordinary application, without the need for a web browser, the Flash Player plugin, or Adobe AIR.
About this Extension:
Projectors were deprecated from Flash Pro CC, however, using this Extension you can now publish your Flash content from Flash Pro CC as a standalone application.
The exported Projector from Flash CC will be an .EXE file on windows and an .APP file on Mac, that can be played on any Windows and Mac machines respectively even without an installed Flash Player or plug-in.
How to Install:
Download the ZXP extension file and install it via the Extension Manager CC. (You must have Flash Pro CC installed on your system before using this extension)
How to Use:
Open the Fla file in Flash Pro CC that you wish to export as a projector.
Navigate to Commands Menu -> Export as Projector
Choose the location for saving your projector and click on ‘Select Folder’.

open swf file with flash player
file -> create projector
so easy...
I'm running two systems, one Linux and another Windows 7. I need a FREE IDE that could work on either platform which can use the new Adobe Air SDK (3.4 at the time of this question) and package the project as a windows executable.
I'm currently using Aptana 2.0 with the old Air SDK 1.5, however, this does not recognize HTML5 / CSS3.
I have tried so far;
Eclipse Juno, nothing...
Aptana 3.0, nothing...
Titanium Studio, nothing...
If you need to know the reason, I need to make a local app that will run on windows and no, I don't want it to run locally in a browser.
I've also searched the net. If anyone could help me out, that would be great.
You can use the latest Adobe AIR SDK with Aptana Studio 2.0.
Download the latest Adobe AIR SDK and extract its contents to the "plugins" directory which is within the Aptana Studio program directory.
Open Aptana and go to the "Window" menu and select "Preferences".
Expand the "Aptana" menu item in the sidebar and select "AIR SDKs".
Click on the "Add" button.
Click the "Browse" button and select the directory which you extracted to your "plugins" directory at Step 1, and then supply a name for the SDK eg. "Adobe AIR SDK 3.4".
Click "OK" to save.
Click "OK" again to dismiss the Preferences window.
Now you have successfully installed the latest Adobe AIR SDK.
Now you will want to run your project with the latest Adobe AIR SDK which you have just installed so:
Go to the "Run" menu and select "Run Configurations...".
Where it says "Adobe AIR SDK", select from the drop down the version of the SDK which you would like to run your project with.
I'm using AS3 to author my project. I tried to publish as Flash Player 9 and this didn't work. I can't go down to Flash Player 8 because that predates AS3.
You can open your SWF in the Flash Player on your PowerPC, then save as projector. The project has to be exported to run with the same Flash version, though - perhaps you have to use a different SDK?
If it isn't possible to target Flash 9 with your current version, try the Flex 3 SDK. You can download it for free and run the compiler using a build tool like Ant, Maven, Gradle, etc., from your IDE (FlashDevelop, FlashBuilder, FDT, etc.) or directly from the command line / prompt.
