Comment on How to restart an AIR application from code by SnakeMedia

ANd i have been fixed for Flex 4.6 SDK

Please do not forget for Application into FlexGlobals replacement!!!!

Look like this:
Code:

/**
*
* Reboot of Air App
*
*/
package
{
import adobe.utils.ProductManager;

import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;

import mx.core.FlexGlobals;
import spark.components.WindowedApplication;

public function Reboot():void
{
var app:WindowedApplication = WindowedApplication(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication);

var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
mgr.launch("-launch "+app.nativeApplication.applicationID+" "+app.nativeApplication.publisherID);
app.close();
}
}

If you are using Flex 4.6 than you just replace from “Application” to “FlexGlobals” It will work for restart. I have been testet this Application Air

Thanks SnakeMedia

WOW that is a nice trick!
For Windows Vista and 7 Version?
Eh that is best idea but how does Adobe AIr work when i am starting into Administrative Right? If Air App writes regfile and starts process with powershell for regfile will write into registry database than Air App will restart – but it can not show Administrative Mode ( Yes or No ).

Thanks best regards SnakeMedia

private function authAndSend(service:HTTPService):void
{
var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
//encoder.insertNewLines = false; // see below for why you need to do this
encoder.encode(“test99:198$elect”);
service.headers["Authorization"] = “Basic ” + encoder.toString();
service.send();
}

I am not able to get it work in Flex Mobile 4.5

Thanks for the kind words about Nimbus. I’m definitely looking forward to the library getting even better over time – still much work to be done!

Works for me on both osx 10.6.8 and windows 7 with an air app from flash pro using:

import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager(“airappinstaller”);
mgr.launch(“-launch ” + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationID + ” ” + NativeApplication.nativeApplication.publisherID);
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();

UNLESS… an flvplayback component loads a video! After that, it will only close and not restart. I’ve tried everything under the sun to destroy the video/component before the restart to no avail. Any suggestions are very appreciated, thanks.
