How to attach file extension with my AIR application that by default open with my AIR application?

Question

I made an AIR application that parses some specific files. I am using flex builder 4.5 and SDK 3.6. I want to attach Icons with those files and when I double click those files they should open with my application. How can I do this?

Thanks

Answer 1

In the Application Descriptor file (look in your project structure for a file named like your application, plus -app.xml as an ending) find the tag fileTypes . If you uncomment it, you can specify which file types you application handles, and which icons to show for those files.

We can not do this using SDK 3.6 in flex builder 4.5. To do this we need to use SDK 4.5.
