Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) for JavaScript Developers Pocket Reference

Creating a Simple AIR Application with HTML and JavaScript | 31

The next section of elements specify general metadata about
the application:

<name>AIRHelloWorld</name>

<title>AIRHelloWorld Installer</title>

<description>Simple Hello World Example using HTML

</description>

<copyright></copyright>

The next element is therootContenttag, which tells Adobe
AIR which application file is the main root content of the
application:

<rootContent systemChrome="standard"

transparent="false" visible="true">

ApolloHelloWorld.html</rootContent>

The value of the element should point to the main root file of
the application, which, in this case, is an HTML file.

TIP

The application descriptor file and root content file must

be in the same folder.

TherootContentelement has a number of attributes that
specify the initial window parameters and chrome of the
application when it is first launched.
