Question

I’m building an Air app with Adobe Flash CS 5. I need to check if an internet connection is available.

I’m running into this errors:

1172: Definition air.net could not be found.
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: URLMonitor.

This is my code:

import air.net.*;

var monitor:URLMonitor;

function checkInternetConnection(e:Event = null):void
{
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
url.method = "HEAD";
monitor = new URLMonitor(url);
monitor.pollInterval = 3000;
//
monitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS,onConnection);
//
function onConnection(e:Event = null):void
{
trace("onConnection")
}
//
monitor.start();
trace(monitor)
} 

What is missing?
Thanks.

You need to add the aircore.swc

Go to File->ActionScript Settings

On the Library Path tab, click the + icon (Add New Path) and then click the Flash icon (Browse To SWC).

You then need to browse to the location where Flash CS5 is installed and go to AIK2.5/frameworks/libs/air/ and select the aircore.swc
