by default.
•
Maximizable: Lets you specify whether the user can maximize the window. This option is selected (or true) by
default.
•
Minimizable: Lets you specify whether the user can minimize the window. This option is selected (or true) by
default.
•
Resizable: Lets you specify whether the user can resize the window. If this option is not selected, Maximum Width,
Maximum Height, Minimum Width, and Minimum Height are dimmed. This option is selected (or true) by

Other Settings
Lets you specify the following additional information regarding the installation:
•
Install Folder: Specifies the folder in which the application is installed.
•
Program Menu Folder (Windows only): Specifies the name of the program menu folder for the application.
•
Use Custom UI for Updates: Specifies what happens when a user opens an AIR installer file for an application that’s
already installed. By default, AIR displays a dialog box that allows the user to update the installed version with the
version in the AIR file. If you don’t want the user to make that decision and you want the application to have
complete control over its updates, select this option. Selecting this option overrides the default behavior and gives
the application control over its own updates.
File type settings
Flash displays the File Type Settings dialog box if you click the Plus (+) button or the Pencil button in the Associated
File Types section of the Advanced Settings dialog box to add or edit associated file types for the application.
The only two required fields in this dialog box are Name and Extension. If you click OK and either of those fields is
blank, Flash displays an error dialog box.
You can specify the following settings for an associated file type:
Name
The name of the file type (for example, Hypertext Markup Language, Text File, or Example).
Extension
The filename extension (for example, html, txt, or xmpl), up to 39 basic alphanumeric characters, (A-Za-
z0-9), and without a leading period.
Description
Optional. A description of the file type (for example, Adobe Video File).
Content type
Optional. Specifies the MIME type for the file.
File Type Icon Settings
Optional. Lets you specify an icon that’s associated with the file type. You can specify four
different sizes for the icon (128x128, 48x48, 32x32, and 16x16 pixels) to allow for the different views in which the icon
appears. For example, the icon can appear in the file browser in thumbnail, detail, and tile views.
