Thermo is now called Flash Catalyst

comments closed November 18th 2008 | by James

The new Adobe software code named Thermo has been demoed at conferences and online quite a bit since Max last year. It is still very much in pre-release development however Adobe have released the actual product name for Thermo – Flash Catalyst.

Adobe AIR MIME type

comments closed November 04th 2008 | by James

Recently I have seen many sites offering AIR installer files for their application only to find that thy are not being delivered using the correct MIME type. This means the browser thinks that the AIR file is a compressed ZIP file and on my Mac gives the .air a .zip extension as well.

To many new users to AIR this can be confusing and some are not sure why the AIR app is not auto installing. This can be a big drop out point for your new users well before they have even started the AIr ...
