Do I need a to include a .swc to use this? It is working without one. I am using AIR 14.0 SDK on FB 4.7 - maybe I'll try updating to AIR 15 - any input on where instructions to do this would be to do this? My code... import air.update.events.UpdateEvent; import air.update.ApplicationUpdaterUI; protected var appUpdater:ApplicationUpdaterUI = new ApplicationUpdaterUI(); init... this.checkUpdate(); appUpdater.updateURL = "http://*********/update.xml";; appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, onUpdate); appUpdater.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, onUpdaterError); appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false; // don't ask to check appUpdater.isDownloadUpdateVisible = false; // don't ask to do appUpdater.isDownloadProgressVisible = false; // don't show download progress appUpdater.isInstallUpdateVisible = false; // don't ask to launch the updator and install the app. appUpdater.initialize(); } protected function onUpdate(event:UpdateEvent):void { appUpdater.checkNow(); } protected function onUpdaterError(event:ErrorEvent):void { Alert.show(event.toString()); } How do we know that this On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 4:30 PM, Scott Talsma <sc...@talsma.tv> wrote: > Jack, > > I am doing something similar, using the built-in .air installers and a > badge page.
