These configuration parameters can also be set using code
in the application, as in the following:
appUpdater.updateURL = " http://example.com/updates/update.xml";
appUpdater.delay = 1;
The properties of the updater object are updateURL and delay.
These properties define the same settings as the updateURL and delay elements
in the configuration file: the URL of the update descriptor file
and the interval for checking for updates. If you specify a configuration
file and settings in code, any properties set using code
take precedence over corresponding settings in the configuration
file.
You must define the updateURL property, either
via the configuration file or via script (see Defining the update descriptor files and adding the AIR file to your web server) before using the updater (before calling the initialize() method
of the updater object, described in Initializing the update framework).
The ApplicationUpdaterUI framework defines these additional properties
of the updater object:
isCheckForUpdateVisible—Corresponding
to the Check for Update, No Update, and Update Error dialog boxes
isDownloadUpdateVisible—Corresponding to
the Download Update dialog box
isDownloadProgressVisible—Corresponding
to Download Progress and Download Error dialog boxes
isInstallUpdateVisible—Corresponding to
Install Update dialog box
isFileUpdateVisible—Corresponding to File
Update, File No Update, and File Error dialog boxes
isUnexpectedErrorVisible—Corresponding to
Unexpected Error dialog box
Each property corresponds to one or more dialog box in the ApplicationUpdaterUI
user interface. Each property is a Boolean value, with a default
value of true. When set to false the
corresponding dialog boxes do not appear as part of the update procedure.
These dialog box properties override settings in the update configuration
file.
