thanks

    if you're using adb, execute adb and have it add the Air runtime to your emulator (eg, emulator-xyzw):

     

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb -s emulator-xyzw install F:\Downloads\AdobeAir\AdobeAIRSDK\runtimes\air\android\emulator\Runti me.apk

     

    Your command will be different.  However, it will not be much, if any, shorter unless you add adb to your system path.  then if you navigate to the directory where you extracted the Adobe Air SDK (AdobeAIRSDK\runtimes\air\android\emulator\Runtime.apk), you can use:

     

    adb -s emulator-xyzw install Runtime.apk

     

     

    if you're using adt, you will use something like:

     

    F:Downloads\AdobeAir\AdobeAIRSDK\bin\adt -installRuntime -platform android -device emulator-xyzw -package F:Downloads\AdobeAir\AdobeAIRSDK\runtimes\air\android\emulator\Runtim e.apk

     

    if you add adt to your system path and if you navigate to the directory where you extracted the Adobe Air SDK (AdobeAIRSDK\runtimes\air\android\emulator\Runtime.apk), you can use:

     

    adt -installRuntime -platform android -device emulator-xyzw -package Runtime.apk

    Thanks, yes that got it. However, it doesn't stay installed? Each time I start the Emulator, it will then ask for the runtime AIR to be installed.

    Is there some way of building it in as it were?

     

    I first did

    adb devices

    to list my device, a Nexus-One emulator, listed as emulator-5554

    then

     

    c:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-201302 19\sdk\platform-tools>adb -s emulator-5554 install C:\flex_sdk_4.6.0.23201\runtimes\air\an
    droid\emulator\Runtime.apk
    adb server is out of date.  killing...
    * daemon started successfully *
    72 KB/s (7787874 bytes in 105.253s)
            pkg: /data/local/tmp/Runtime.apk
    Success

    if you don't create new emulator's you should not have to repeatedly add the player.
