Accessing a File’s Icon in the Apollo Beta

with 2 comments

Kevin Hoyt gives a sneak peak of one of the new features in the upcoming beta that allows you to access an file’s system icon bitmap data from within an Apollo application.

Kevin’s example is in HTML and JavaScript, but the same technique applies to ActionScript.

You can see the entire post, complete with code and screencast over at Kevin’s weblog.

  2. Hi Mike/Kevin,

    I need your Help. Since yesterday I was doing some R&D on Apollo Applications, I am using Windows Vista (Home Edition) – I have downloaded all the required stuffs from the site and developed one example. I am successful in compiling through ADL command through command prompt – The example which I have did is perfect working fine. But my query is – when I tried to package the things to get .air file – at command prompt it is showing up an error like

    D:\>adt -package RetrievePageApp.air RetrievePageApp.xml RetrievePage.html exPage.html loading.gif bg.gif
    Unknown option: ûpackage
    Usage: adt -package air_file app_xml [ file_or_dir | -C dir file_or_dir … ] ..

    As I have mentioned above, it is showing up as Unknown option:ûpackage – and unfortunately I could able complete my task .air is not created.

    It would be great if you can suggest me on this regard.

    Please Please…. Help me out from this…..

    Thanks,
    Vivekanand
