Does the screen share functionality work in AIR?

[Sam_Shao]

Hi there,

I've tried all screen share examples in AIR, but no one can pop up a screen share window or download window. Does it work in AIR? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Sam,

I verified it at my end, and it works. (I tried it on AIR2 on Mac and FP10.1)

Please double check and post back if  you are seeing errors or any RTE.

Thanks

Hi Arun,

I tried again and found that AIR application doesn't download Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro add-in automatically, so I cannot see the pop up window. Once I download it by a web based application, the screen share windows pops up.

My computer is running XP Pro.

I am not sure it is a my problem or a bug of LCCS.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

You are right. If the addin is missing, then the AIR is not able to download and install it

Thanks for pointing it out and we are actively looking into this issue.

Wait a sec, the screen share uses the connect plugin? So turn on AEC for

us then...

First of all, is NOT the Connect PRO addin. It's the same addin we use for ConnectNow, similar to the Connect Pro one, but not the same.

Second, the addin is used only for screen capture and remote control (when we enable remote control) so even if it was possible to enable echo cancellation there it wouldn't do you any good, since your A/V streams go through your regular FlashPlayer / AIR runtime.

Hi Eric,

AEC will be hopefully coming to player 10.2 in coming year. If that happens, we will also provide the capability in LCCS.

Ah that's better news, I was following the AEC bug and now there's a bunch

of activity and some feedback now that makes it look like it's going to

happen for real Thanks for the info.

Hi Sam,

As you might  have guessed the Addin is not being launched due to AIR's security settings. We are still looking into this issue.

One work around is to use Html & HtmlLoader. So generate a release quality Screenshare swf and export it in your AIR app. I know its very messy and undesirable. But just for the time being if you want to keep things moving you can try the above approach.

Code:

protected function htmlLoader_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
               {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("ScreenSharePublisherExample.swf");
                    if (file.exists) {
                         var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file.url);
                         htmlLoader.htmlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS, onError);
                         htmlLoader.htmlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, onError);
                         htmlLoader.htmlLoader.load(request);
                    }
               }

Again please use a release version of the swf as the debug version fails to launch again.

Thanks

Ok, my AIR application can download the addin now.

Hope you can release a new build to solve this problem soon.

Thanks,

Sam
