Question

In a Flex web application, you can print the version of the flash player that is being used by using:

var version:String = Capabilities.version

According to the docs, this should return the flash player or AIR runtime version, but it does not in my testing. I keep getting the flash player version when running in AIR.

Is there a way to get the AIR version? I am running on AIR 3.2

(I want to display the AIR runtime version in the about box of my application for troubleshooting purpose)

Answer 1

Will this work for you?

To quote:

The NativeApplication object has a runtimeVersion property, which is
the version of the runtime in which the application is running (a
string, such as “1.0.5”). The NativeApplication object also has a
runtimePatchLevel property, which is the patch level of the runtime (a
number, such as 2960). The following code uses these properties:

air.trace(air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.runtimeVersion);
air.trace(air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.runtimePatchLevel);
