Justin,

I would like to know how you want to address this issue.  I have seen this
Error 305 when I selected AIR 2.6 with FP 11.7.  Should we tie AIR 2.6 with
FP 10.2 so that folks dont run into this issue?

Thanks,
Om

Maybe you can create the Linux version also?

I just uploaded the Windows RC2 binaries.

Thanks,

Certainly the easy solution. I should be able to sort that today.

That might work, but it will cause unexpected behavior for the user isnt
it?  If I have a library project that is shared between a web app and
AIR/mobile app, what swf version that would use?

I think that the best option would be to tie the AIR and FP versions based
on the common swf-version.

Hi,

Took another look and think I have something that should work. For the AIR config files it work out the corresponding Flash Version version and used that version and swf version.

There may be an issue with this in that it would also need to download 2 player global swfs?

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

As far as I can see the code is correct.

It loops around each config file:
for each (var file:File in configFiles)

And updates the swf version:
var swfVersion:RegExp = /<swf-version>\d\d<\/swf-version>/;
contents = contents.replace(swfVersion, "<swf-version>" + FLASH_PLAYER_SWF_VERSION + "<\/swf-version>");

The player version is set like so based on the flash player version and info in teh config file.
FLASH_PLAYER_SWF_VERSION = files.(@name == 'FlashPlayer' + FLASH_PLAYER_VERSION).@swfversion.toString();

Any ideas why this might not be working?

Thanks,
Justin

I should have some time later today and will take a look. May be a little painful as instead of just copying the file we need to read in the contents, modify it, and write it out again.

Thanks,
Justin

Can you fix it in the Installer as well, please?

I have pushed a bunch of changes to the Installer.  If you can make this
change, we can push a new RC for the Installer as well.

Ahhhh I see the issue. Yes the current .sh script update the version of swf in all 3 config files, the installer should do the same.

I was thinking that perhaps we could have a different swf-version in
air-config.xml and flex-version.xml

When running mxmlc during compilation of the swf for the AIR app, the
air-config.xml seems to be loaded.

This way, we could perhaps use different combinations of FP/AIR versions.

Tie the values together seems like the best way, are you 100% sure that it is an issue for all pairs of FP/AIR? Means for example you can't use the latest FP on LInux when using AIR.
