ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 DEVELOPER’S GUIDE
Programming HTML and JavaScript in AIR
To use the AIRAliases.js file, include the following script reference in your HTML page:
Adjust the path in the src reference, as needed.
Important: Except where noted, the JavaScript example code in this documentation assumes that you have included
the AIRAliases.js file in your HTML page.
About URLs in AIR
Adobe AIR 1.0 and later
In HTML content running in AIR, you can use any of the following URL schemes in defining src attributes for img,
frame, iframe, and script tags, in the href attribute of a link tag, or anywhere else you can provide a URL.
URL scheme Description Example
file A path relative to the root of the file system. file:///c:/AIR Test/test.txt
app A path relative to the root directory of the installed
application.
app-storage A path relative to the application store directory. For each
installed application, AIR defines a unique application store
directory, which is a useful place to store data specific to that
application.
For more information about using URL schemes in AIR, see “URI schemes” on page 812.
Many of AIR APIs, including the File, Loader, URLStream, and Sound classes, use a URLRequest object rather than a
string containing the URL. The URLRequest object itself is initialized with a string, which can use any of the same url
schemes. For example, the following statement creates a URLRequest object that can be used to request the Adobe
home page:
var urlReq = new air.URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
For information about URLRequest objects see “HTTP communications” on page 810.
Making ActionScript objects available to JavaScript
Adobe AIR 1.0 and later
JavaScript in the HTML page loaded by an HTMLLoader object can call the classes, objects, and functions defined in
the ActionScript execution context using the window.runtime, window.htmlLoader, and window.nativeWindow
properties of the HTML page. You can also make ActionScript objects and functions available to JavaScript code by
creating references to them within the JavaScript execution context.
