size and scales it to fit for the given occurrence.
To specify an icon, either click the folder for the icon size and select an icon file to use or enter the path and filename for the icon file in the text
box next to the prompt. The icon file must be in PNG format.
After a new file type is created, it is shown in the File Type list box in the Advanced Settings dialog box.
Failure to create application and installer files
The application and installer files fail to be created in the following instances:
The application ID string has an incorrect length or contains invalid characters. The application ID string can be from 1 to 212 characters and
can include the following characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z, . (dot), - (hyphen).
Files in the Included Files list do not exist.
The sizes of custom icon files are incorrect.
The AIR destination folder does not have write access.
You have not signed the application or have not specified that it is an Adobe AIRI application that will be signed later.
Signing your application
All Adobe AIR applications must be signed to be installed on another system. Flash provides the ability, however, to create unsigned Adobe AIR
installer files so that the application can be signed later. These unsigned Adobe AIR installer files are called an AIRI (AIR Intermediate) package.
This capability provides for cases in which the certificate is on a different machine or signing is handled separately from application development.
Sign an Adobe AIR application with a pre-purchased digital certificate from a root certificate authority
1. Choose File > AIR 2 Settings and then click on the Signature tab.
This tab has two radio buttons that allow you to either sign your Adobe AIR application with a digital certificate or prepare an AIRI package. If
you sign your AIR application, you can either use a digital certificate granted by a root certificate authority or create a self-signed certificate.
A self-signed certificate is easy to create but is not as trustworthy as a certificate granted by a root certificate authority.
2. Select a certificate file from the pop-up menu or click the Browse button to locate a certificate file.
3. Select the certificate.
4. Enter a password.
5. Click OK.
For more information on signing your AIR application, see Digitally signing an AIR file.
Create a self-signed digital certificate
1. Click the Create button. The Self-Signed Digital Certificate dialog box opens.
2. Complete the entries for Publisher Name, Organization Unit, Organization Name, Country, Password, and Confirm Password. For Country,
you can select from the menu or enter a 2-letter country code that does not appear in the menu. For a list of valid country codes, see
