Working with other applications
Last updated 3/28/2012
Following is a list of options:
Name specifies the name of the file type that appears in the Associated File Types list. This option is required,
and can only include alphanumeric ASCII characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and dots (for example, adobe.VideoFile).
The name must start with a letter. The maximum length is 38 characters.
Extension specifies the extension of the file type. Do not include a preceding dot. This option is required, and
can only include alphanumeric ASCII characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). The maximum length is 38 characters.
Description lets you specify an optional description for the file type.
Content Type specifies the MIME type or media type for the file (for example text/html, image/gif, and so on).
Icon File Locations lets you select custom images for the associated file types. (The default images are Adobe
AIR images that come with the extension.)
Editing AIR application settings
You can edit the settings for your Adobe AIR application at any time.
❖ Select Site > AIR Application Settings and make your changes.
Previewing a web page in an AIR application
You can preview an HTML page in Dreamweaver as it would appear in an Adobe AIR application. Previewing is useful
when you want to see what a web page will look like in the application without having to create the entire application.
❖ On the Document toolbar, click the Preview/Debug in Browser button, and then select Preview In AIR.
You can also press Ctrl+Shift+F12 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+F12 (Macintosh).
Using AIR code hinting and code coloring
The Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver also adds code hinting and code coloring for Adobe AIR language
elements in Code view in Dreamweaver.
❖ Open an HTML or JavaScript file in Code view and enterAdobe AIR code.
Note: The code hinting mechanism only works inside <script> tags, or in .js files.
For more information on the Adobe AIR language elements, see the developer documentation in the rest of this
guide.
Accessing the Adobe AIR documentation
The Adobe AIR extension adds a Help menu item in Dreamweaver that lets you access Developing AIR Applications
with HTML and Ajax.
❖ Select Help > Adobe AIR Help.
