title: Launching an Air Application from the browser
body: <p>I am working on integrating an air application with a web application and for the most part it works.</p>
  
  <p>The only issue that I am having is that when I attempt to pass variables from my launching badge, the application does not load and I get no errors from my swf.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my current code base:</p>
  
  <p>Launching Badge AS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package {
  import flash.display.*;
  import flash.events.*;
  import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
  import flash.net.URLRequest;
  import flash.system.*;
  import flash.text.TextField;
  
  // AIRBadge is our main document class
  public class LaunchApplication extends MovieClip {
  
      public function LaunchApplication() {
  
          _loader = new Loader();
          var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
          loaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
  
          _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onInit);
          _loader.load(new URLRequest(BROWSERAPI_URL_BASE + "/air.swf"), loaderContext);
  
          var parameters:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
          _applicationID = parameters["applicationID"];
          _arguments = String(parameters["arguments"]).split(",");
  
      }
  
      private function onInit(e:Event):void {
          _air = e.target.content;
          switch (_air.getStatus()) {
              case "installed" :
                  statusMessage.text = "AIR is installed and has been detected."
                  launchButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onButtonClicked);
                  break;
              case "available" :
                  // AIR is Available
                  statusMessage.text = "AIR is not installed - application cannot be launched."
                  break;
              case "unavailable" :
                  // AIR Not Available
                  statusMessage.text = "AIR is not installed - application cannot be launched."
                  break;
          }
      }
  
      private function onButtonClicked(e:Event):void {
  
          statusMessage.text = "Attempting to Launch AIR Application";
          trace(_applicationID);
          _air.launchApplication(_applicationID,_arguments);
  
      }
  
      private const BROWSERAPI_URL_BASE: String = "http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi";
  
      private var _applicationID:String;
      private var _arguments: Array;
  
      private var _loader:Loader;
      private var _air:Object;
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>Javascript:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  var so = new SWFObject("launchMovie.swf", "badge", "250", "75", "9.0.115", "#FFFFFF");
  so.addVariable( "applicationID", "com.testapp.test");
  so.addVariable( "arguments", "123");
  so.write("flashcontent");
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
