75 New Adobe AIR JavaScript Code Samples Available
Adobe platform evangelist Kevin Hoyt announced on his blog that he has made available the source code for 75 Adobe AIR code samples built using JavaScript. This is a fantastic way to get up to speed on AIR's API's. Real world examples include how to:
- Access text files synchronously
- Access binary files synchronously
- Access the clipboard
- Add drag and drop support to your application
To get started, download the sample files as a .zip or .air file from his project site hosted on Google Code.

Hi,
When I tried to install the file named "AIRSamples.air" (located at http://jsairsamples.googlecode.com/files/AIRSamples.air), I got this error,
"The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
Please help!.

David,
The samples AIR file is built for AIR 1.5. Is that the version of the runtime you have installed? I just downloaded the file and installed it, and had no problem. If you continue to have problems, please feel free to email me directly at khoyt . at . adobe . com.
As a side note, I do need to put a badge installer on the Google site. Not sure how to do that though as I don't know the Google Code system well. If you (or anybody) has experience, please let me know!
Thanks,
Kevin
