Hi guys

Just adding the latest sdk to CS5,  but it keeps telling me I have AIR2.5

Can 3.5 be used in CS5?

If so, does anyone have a good guide page on how to update it?  I've tried these, but no result...

I'm thinking maybe 3.5 is loaded, but CS5 will only display 2.5 by default.  How do you test which sdk version Pro is running?

Cheers

You can use any version of air if you're willing to use the command line.

In CS5.5, AIR for Mobile was introduced. CS5 supported iOS only originally and not via AIR but a direct arm7 compile. I don't have CS5 on here anymore to check but the main issue was always the publish panel simply didn't support the correct publish options. Even the CS5.5 panel doesn't support the latest AIR SDK options either (localized names, descriptions, ANEs and a lot more). Even in CS5.5 you have to overlay over the AIR2.6 folder because it's hard-coded to look in that folder for the SDK so it always says it's exporting AIR 2.6 (but it's the latest 3.5).

What you might want to do is try these instructions only use 3.5 instead of 2.7. Changing the SWF version number is about the only real difference (SWF version 18 for FP 11.5/AIR 3.5).

Thanks mate.  I've set up a subscription to CS6 - I'll go over you comments in the other post re making sure all is installed.

Great that's much easier to overlay and more reliable. CS7 isn't too far off either. Post back if you have any other questions or issues, otherwise please mark the thread answered so we can filter unanswered questions. Good luck!
