Run from CD

[kdanos13]

Hi,

I have built a Desktop application with captive runtime that runs OK when I run it from my hard disk, when i burn everything to a CD the application doesn't start, it shows a white screen but never loads the intro.

My question is if the exported applications can run from a CD in general or if there is something wrong with my code.

Thanks in advance.

This is errors in your code only. I done many different CD/DVD and it's works.

Do you copy to CD folder with all files from Adobe AIR app?

I have found where the problem is. It hangs at code:

homeAssetManager.enqueue(appPath.resolvePath("assets/home"));

where:

private var homeAssetManager:AssetManager = new AssetManager();

var appPath:File = File.applicationDirectory;

Any ideas why it hangs? I'm suspecting it tries to write to the directory. Should I in a way declare that the directory is read-only?

[User_Unknow]

homeAssetManager.enqueue(appPath.resolvePath("assets/home"));

why not code directly homeAssetManager.enqueue(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets/home"));

Also I don't know what you doing inside homeAssetManager

I did code it directly as homeAssetManager.enqueue(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets/home"));

but obviously this wasn't the problem.

Does AssetManager enqueue assets from read-only directories?

Does AssetManager enqueue assets from read-only directories?

This is your AssetManager How I can know this? )
I don't know how you loading your files and etc. I used Adobe AIR on CD / DVD and don't have any issues with resources loading.

It is not my Asset Manager, it's the starling.utils.AssetManager.

Problem solved !!! I managed to run the application, either  by burning the CD from a MAC, which writes it in Hybrid CD format, or on Windows using UDF filesystem and not ISO I was burning it to.
