We have just posted updated betas for Adobe AIR, Flex 3 and Flex Builder on labs.

Note that the Adobe AIR authoring extension for Flash CS3 has not out just yet. It will be released in the next couple of days, so make sure to watch labs for the bits.

You can find more information, as well as download all of the bits on labs.

  1. Hi Mike, Skye here (met you at the onAir event in St. Louis). This may not be the best place to post this inquiry, but i know it sprung up on a client app when Air Beta 2 was introduced. Air no longer allows for writing files to the applicationResourceDirectory (relative to the AIR app), but it does allow writing to the applicationStorageDirectory. Problem is, I’m downloading FLVs to play in a flex VideoPlayer component and the component only seems to support playing *relative* files. If I were able to write to applicationResourceDirectory, I’d be fine, but neither an absolute Windows file path (”C:\docs and settings\Application data…”) nor a “file:///C:\…” path will play in the VideoPlayer. Is there a way to make this work??

  2. Hi,

    I can’t find a change log for the new release. Does the new runtime allow Flash content on HTML pages?

    I’ve been waiting for this really long time!

  3. Zarate - Flash in HTML is now available according to one of the Adobe guys (Kevin Hoyt).

    Other neat stuff in Air b3 was the inclusion of h.264 in the Air runtime. Nice job Adobe.

  6. Hi Tom,

    The Adobe AIR beta 3 was released on December 12, 2007. If you are talking about beta 4, i do not think it is out yet.

  7. Has there been a change to the number of concurrent XML socket connections allowed in AIR beta 3. It appears to be limited to 16.

  8. Thanks for this post! It goes much farther than the official release notes and documentation currently go.

    I’d really love to see some code about the XMLHttpRequest issues though. It’s broken in my app and I can’t find a single item related to changes to it anywhere on the release notes or documentation!
