Modify the badge.swf file
The Flex SDK and AIR SDK provides the source files for the badge.swf file. These files are included in the
samples/badge folder of the SDK:
Source files Description
badge.fla The source Flash file used to compile the badge.swf file. The badge.fla file compiles into a SWF 9 file (which can
be loaded in Flash Player).
AIRBadge.as An ActionScript 3.0 class that defines the base class used in the basdge.fla file.
You can use Flash Professional to redesign the visual interface of the badge.fla file.
The AIRBadge() constructor function, defined in the AIRBadge class, loads the air.swf file hosted at
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf. The air.swf file includes code for using the seamless install
feature.
The onInit() method (in the AIRBadge class) is invoked when the air.swf file is loaded successfully:
private function onInit(e:Event):void {
_air = e.target.content;
switch (_air.getStatus()) {
case "installed" :
root.statusMessage.text = "";
break;
case "available" :
if (_appName && _appName.length > 0) {
root.statusMessage.htmlText = "In order to run " + _appName +
", this installer will also set up Adobe® AIR®.";
} else {
root.statusMessage.htmlText = "In order to run this application, "
+ "this installer will also set up Adobe® AIR®.";
}
break;
case "unavailable" :
root.statusMessage.htmlText = "Adobe® AIR® is not available for your system.";
root.buttonBg_mc.enabled = false;
break;
}
}
The code sets the global _air variable to the main class of the loaded air.swf file. This class includes the following
public methods, which the badge.swf file accesses to call seamless install functionality:
