Yonas I’m afraid you misunderstood something here. We are talking about Adobe AIR (former codename Apollo) in this blog post.

Rahul,

I have been having the same problem, and I just figured out a way around it. The problem occurred when I tried to use the DateFormatter within a SWF file that was loaded through the SWFLoader. My solution involves cross-scripting, which isn’t a problem if the loading SWF file and the loaded SWF file are on the same domain. What I did was I instantiated an instance of the DateFormatter class in the top level/loading SWF file. Then, from the loaded/child SWF file I used the already instantiated DateFormatter by calling Application.application.date_formatter (where date_formatter is the name of the variable that contains the DateFormatter instantiation). This solved the problem for me.

Hopefully this will help someone else out as well, as I have spent hours trying to figure this out.

Hi Uza,
Was trying to implement your tips, and a very funny error evoked.My application gives a call to a webservice which populates the data. Now, as soon as the service is fired, I get the following error:

Error: Could not find resource bundle formatters
at mx.resources::ResourceBundle$/getResourceBundle()
at mx.formatters::DateBase$cinit()
at global$init()

at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher2()
at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher()

I tried to import the following
mx.resources.ResourceBundle;
mx.formatters.DateBase;
But still the result is same.
One more fact I want to share is that I am using Date Formatter in my application, which my suspect is the problem area.

If I run the same application without using swfLoader, then it works absolutely fine.
Any idea about this??
Thanks in advance.

Hey Rahul,

All you have to do is to convert the loader menu into Apollo application, and copy the 4 projects you are loading into the Apollo application dir.

/
- /PR1
- /PR2
- /PR3
- /PR4
- Loader Application.as

When exporting to deployable *.air file, include the PR folders into your project by selecting them in the popup window.

After installation your PR1 folder will be accessible under app-resource:/PR1 .

app-resource:/ points to root directory of the installed application (the directory that contains the application.xml file for the installed application)

Hope that will help you!
Cheers
