			<title>AIR 1.0</title>
			<link>http://www.pfeisinger.net/article/air-10-1/3.html</link>
			<description>After one and a half years of development, three betas and a lot of great beta-applications ADOBE...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It is a great day today. ADOBE released the final version of <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/air/" title="Adobe AIR" target="_top" class="external-link-new-window" >AIR</a>, a cross plattform, which allows web developers create desktop applications. 
AIR connects the internet with the desktop and is a standard plattform for all web developers (HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, Flash, Flex..). If you develop an AIR application, you don't have to bother about browser or javascript versions. You have one plattform, which works on Windows, Apple and Linux the same way. 
The interesting thing are the technical details of AIR:<ul><li>integrated webbrowser (based on webkit)</li><li>local database</li><li>file system access</li><li>network detection</li><li>application update</li><li>drag and drop</li></ul>For developing you just need to download the free <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools" title="Adobe AIR 1.0 Tools" target="_top" class="external-link-new-window" >AIR 1.0 SDK</a>. For Dreamweaver and Flash CS3 there are plugins available, which makes compiling AIR applications very easy.
To run AIR applications on your computer you download the <a href="http://get.adobe.com/air" title="Adobe AIR Installer" target="_top" class="external-link-new-window" >Adobe AIR Installer</a> and you can try out a bunch of amazing desktop applications.
On the 31st of march the <a href="http://onair.adobe.com" title="on AIR TOUR EUROPE 2008" target="_top" class="external-link-new-window" >on Air Tour</a> starts in Madrid. A group of ADOBE AIR evangelists will tour through Europe, holding presentations about AIR and making a lot of interesting workshops.

			<title>FLEX: Loading XML with url parameters using namespaces</title>
			<link>http://www.pfeisinger.net/article/flex-loading-xml-with-url-parameters-using-namespaces-copy-1/3.html</link>
			<description>There are some issues to consider when loading XML using namespaces and url parameters. In this...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Usually you get your XML by calling a url with parameters like this one:
<p class="ascode">'http://niimo.com/api?type=xml&amp;method=public'</p>
If you use this url with flex HTTPService you get a syntax error:
<p class="ascode">&lt;mx:HTTPService id=&quot;latestUsers&quot; url=&quot;http://niimo.com/api?type=xml&amp;method=public&quot;/&gt;</p>
Error (in this case):
<p class="alert"><b>'This reference to entity &quot;method&quot; must end with the &quot;;&quot; delimiter.'</b></p>
Adding the &lt;mx:request&gt; tag you can add parameters to your url and Flex doesn't complain.
<p class="ascode">&lt;mx:HTTPService id=&quot;latestUsers&quot; url=&quot;http://niimo.com/api&quot;&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;mx:request&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;method&gt;public&lt;/method&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;type&gt;xml&lt;/type&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/mx:request&gt;<br />&lt;/mx:HTTPService&gt;</p>
This Example shows how to load XML using a url with parameters and XML namespaces with E4X.
Code:
<p class="ascode"><br />&lt;mx:Application xmlns:mx=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml&quot; layout=&quot;vertical&quot; creationComplete=&quot;init();&quot;&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;mx:HTTPService id=&quot;latestUsers&quot; url=&quot;http://niimo.com/api&quot; showBusyCursor=&quot;true&quot; resultFormat=&quot;e4x&quot; result=&quot;onResult(event);&quot;&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;mx:request&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;method&gt;public&lt;/method&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;type&gt;xml&lt;/type&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/mx:request&gt;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/mx:HTTPService&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;mx:Script&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; public var niimoUsers:XMLList;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; namespace users = &quot;http://niimo.com/api/personal&quot;;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; private function init():void {<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; latestUsers.send();&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; private function onResult( event:ResultEvent ):void {<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var resultXML:XML = event.result as XML;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var userList:XMLList = resultXML.Niimo.NiimoRecord;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; use namespace users;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; niimoUsers = userList.NickName;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ]]&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/mx:Script&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;mx:Label text=&quot;Niimo Users:&quot; /&gt;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;mx:List dataProvider=&quot;{niimoUsers}&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;<br />&lt;/mx:Application&gt;</p>

			<title>Adobe onAIR Bustour</title>
			<link>http://www.pfeisinger.net/article/adobe-onair-bustour/3.html</link>
			<description>Adobe's promotion tour with a hightech bus with a group of top-class Adobe gurus left San Francisco...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The last weeks I daily read the actual news about Adobe's onAIR project. It's a really exciting experience to see the onAIR bus being filled with webcams, GPS-Systems and different WLANs. Nearly every half an hour a new message is posted on <a href="http://twitter.com/OnAirBusTour" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >Twitter </a>with news from the work around the bus. On <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/onairtour/" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >Flickr</a> you can see the latest pictures from inside the Bus and&nbsp; the webpage <a href="http://onair.adobe.com" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >http://onair.adobe.com</a> shows the actual GPS position on a map.
I am looking forward to see the first onAIR tour event in Seattle, though I am sitting here in Switzerland.&nbsp; Maybe there is a smiliar tour planned for Europe starting in Zurich ;)]]></content:encoded>

			<title>AIR Extension for Flash CS3</title>
			<link>http://www.pfeisinger.net/article/air-extension-for-flash-cs3/3.html</link>
			<description>Grant Skinner and Guy Watson (FlashGuru) created an extension which compiles an AIR application out...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I just installed gSkinners extension for Flash CS3 which creates runnable AIR Files. You just need to have a FLA file open in the Flash IDE. You select it in your Air extension panel and create a Air application. 
Installing this extension is also very simple:
The easiest way ist to have Flex 3 (&quot;Moxie&quot;) already installed or get it from <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >here</a>. Then get the extension <a href="http://www.flashguru.co.uk/downloads/Test%20in%20Apollo.mxp" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" >here</a> and install it using the Extension Manager. <br />Locate the file 'airglobal.swc' on your system. With Flex 3 installed (using a german system) you find it under 
<strong>C:\Programme\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\moxie\frameworks\libs\air\.</strong> 
Copy this file to your flash application directory. 
<strong><em>C:\Programme\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\Classes</em></strong>
Open your Flash application you want to publish as an AIR application. Open Flash CS3 and open the AIR panel Window&gt;Other Panels&gt;AIRPanel and select your application. Press 'Package' and you will be asked to set the location of the file 'adl.exe'.<br />This filed you find at 
<em><strong>C:\Programme\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\moxie\bin\</strong></em>
After that your AIR application is going to be published and you can install it on your computer. Nice and easy. Adobe seems to be working on an official implementation supporting AIR in Flash CS3. But for the beginning&nbsp; this solution is great. 
Thanks to gSkinner!
