Hi Kwasi,

Sorry, this article referred to a Beta version of Adobe Air and the code does not work with the latest release. You might check out what Tom says in the comment above. Unfortunately I haven’t tried out the new version of Air, so I can’t really point you the right way with that.

I’m having problems and I’m not sure if this site is still active, our post rather, in regards to using tinymce in AIR.

I can;t get it working with this code

I keep getting, Warning: HTTP send request error, 12007: /component/Editor.htm

What is wrong, this is how it is included in AIR app…

/***/
private function _init():void{
_editor = new HTML();
_editor.percentWidth = 100;
_editor.height = 500;

_editor.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, _loaded );
_editor.location= “file:///”+Configuration.applicationDirectory+”/component/EditorInstance.htm”;

this.addChild( _editor );
}

Thanks for the code, Tom…Wordpress gets finicky about what it lets through.

Hmm seems the code went missing there….

Basically I think you want to use
iframe src=”http://air/tinymce.html” id=”pp_content_txt” sandboxRoot=”http://air/”
documentRoot=”app:/” scrolling=”no” width=”100%” height=”570″ border=”0″
frameborder=”0″
onfocus = “this.contentWindow.childSandboxBridge.focus()”

I think the problem you’re having comes from the iframe code. I believe I changed it to somethin like

Thanks for the heads up Jawaad. I haven’t tried to get it working in the final release of AIR. I’ve made a note at the top of the post for new readers based on your comment.

Hey Byron,

Thanks for sharing your code - I was looking into doing this myself, but it looks like your code no longer works in the newest version of Air I tried messing around with the config files but all it produces is this:

TypeError: Undefined value
getContent at app:/example.html : 36
getContent at app:/example.html : 36
getContent at app:/example.html : 36
getContent at app:/example.html : 36
showContent at app:/example.html : 41
showContent at app:/example.html : 41
showContent at app:/example.html : 41
onclick at app:/example.html : 50

I’m going to see about what I can do to fix it but I just thought I’d give you the heads up…

Hi Tom,

Glad that helped. I spent hours trying to get TinyMCE going back in October. I haven’t tried to get v. 3.x working yet. I’m sure that Adobe AIR and TinyMCE have both come along ways since October, so hopefully they’ve ironed out some of the problems I was having.

Best regards,
Byron
