3. Select File > AIR 2 Settings.
4. Complete the AIR Settings dialog box, and then click Publish.
When you click the Publish button, the following files are packaged: the SWF file, the application descriptor file, the application icon files, and
the files listed in the Included Files text box. If you have not already created a digital certificate, Flash displays the Digital Signature dialog
box when you click the Publish button.
The AIR Application And Installer Settings dialog box is divided into 4 tabs: General, Signature, Icons, and Advanced. For more information on
these settings, see the following sections.
General settings
The General tab of the AIR Application And Installer Settings dialog box contains the following options:
The name and location of the .air file to create when using the Publish command.
The type of package to create.
AIR package - Creates a standard AIR installer file that assumes the AIR runtime can be separately downloaded during installation or is
already installed on the target device.
Mac installer - Creates a complete Macintosh installer file.
Application with runtime embedded - Creates an AIR installer file that contains the AIR runtime so no additional download is required.
Select this option to compile a native, platform specific Windows installer (.exe) instead of a platform-independent AIR installer
(.air).
The name of the main file of the application. Defaults to the name of the FLA file.
Optional. Specifies a version number for your application. Defaults to 1.0.
Identifies your application with a unique ID. You can change the default ID if you prefer. Do not use spaces or special characters in the ID.
The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z, . (dot), and - (dash), from 1 to 212 characters in length. Defaults to
com.adobe.example.applicationName
.
Optional. Lets you enter a description of the application to display in the installer window when the user installs the application.
Defaults to blank.
Optional. Lets you enter a copyright notice. Defaults to blank.
Specifies what window style (or chrome) to use for the user interface when the user runs the application on their computer. You
can specify System Chrome (the default), which refers to the standard window visual style that the operating system uses. You can also specify
Custom Chrome (opaque) or Custom Chrome (transparent). To display your application without the system chrome, select None. System Chrome
surrounds the application with the operating-system standard window control. Custom Chrome (opaque) eliminates the standard system chrome
and lets you create a chrome of your own for the application. (You build the custom chrome directly in the FLA file.) Custom Chrome (transparent)
is like Custom Chrome (opaque), but it adds transparent capabilities to the edges of the page. These capabilities allow for application windows that
are not square or rectangular in shape.
Allows you to specify which method the AIR runtime uses to render graphic content. The options include:
Auto - automatically detect and use the fastest rendering method available on the host device.
CPU - Use the CPU.
Direct - Render using Stage3D. This is the fastest available rendering method.
For a list of processors that do not support Direct mode, see
