Ehh? That is an error What is a fuck now? Adobe Air can not work on Adobe Air 3.1 I will reboot this Adobe Air App

Look at my picture
My picture Adobe Air reboot – Error

and i have been coded this with Flex 4.6 and Adobe Air 3.1:

xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">

import sm.flash.desktop.NativeApplication.Reboot;

protected function restartClick():void
{
sm.flash.desktop.NativeApplication.Reboot();
}

]]>

and I have been created this library for Reboot Class:

/**
*
* Reboot of Air App
*
*/
package sm.flash.desktop.NativeApplication
{
import adobe.utils.ProductManager;

import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;

import spark.components.Application;
import spark.components.WindowedApplication;

public function Reboot():void
{
var app:WindowedApplication = WindowedApplication(Application);

var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
mgr.launch("-launch " + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationID + " " + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.publisherID);
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
}
}

And app-xml:

Test.Restart

Test_Restart

Test_Restart

0.0.0

[Dieser Wert wird von Flash Builder in der app.xml-Ausgabedatei überschrieben]

false
false
false

true

Works for me on both osx 10.6.8 and windows 7 with an air app from flash pro using the above code from Luke…

…UNLESS… an flvplayback component loads a video! After that, it will only close and not restart. I’ve tried everything under the sun to destroy the video/component before the restart to no avail. Any suggestions are very appreciated, thanks.

This may be obvious to some, but it’s important:

Put this in the mxml/main of the application; it won’t work if you use that block of code in an external actionscript custom class you create.

Hi man, cheers for the code it worked a treat for me. I had to change it slightly for flash and thought it maybe useful for some people. Heres what i did.

the code is basicly the same, only dif is you wont have the “mx.core.WindowedApplication” libray to import. so instead do this:

var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
mgr.launch("-launch " + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationID + " " + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.publisherID);
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();

you will need to include:

import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;

in your imports.

Then look were your airfiles are being created and you will see a file called ["name of your air file"]-app.xml . open this and as mentiond before make sure that false is set to true:

true

Insert Code here
