Easy Way to Use the AIR Install Badge

January 7th, 2008

My new Adobe AIR Developer Center article shows an easy way to use the AIR install badge (and it also included Express Install for Flash Player). There has been quite a bit of confusion on how to implement all of these features, so I hope that this helps someone!

Hi David,

I have a question regarding the badget install with express installation of Flash Player. How do I pass parameters to badge.swf? i.e. when the AIR application is installed and to be launched from the browser, I need to pass a parameter to the application. My AIR application already has onBrowserInvoke method. But how do I specify the parameter from the index.html? Thanks!

That is a great question! I am actually writing an AIR Tip on that very feature right now. Hopefully it will be done tonight or tomorrow. Basically - you can do it, but you have to modify the badge to do it (and change a value in your application descriptor file).

I just finished the tutorial on passing arguments to an AIR application (by using the install badge). Let me know if this properly answers your question.
