[. . . ] AIR can be downloaded from the Adobe website at http://get. adobe. com/air/. Configurator can be downloaded from the Adobe website at http://labs. adobe. com/technologies/configurator. Make sure the downloaded installer is saved with file extension . AIR, and then double-click to execute the installer. NOTE: AIR applications are platform independent. The same installer is used for Mac and Windows. 2. 2 Start Configurator On Mac, go to the Applications folder and double-click Adobe Configurator. On Windows, go to the Start menu, open the Adobe folder, and click Adobe Configurator. 2. 3 Create a panel Click the Create New Panel button on the Welcome page, or choose File > New Panel. 2. 4 Set panel name and size Click the Inspector palette on the right side to edit the name, height, and width of the panel. 2. 5 Drag objects into the panel Drag objects from the Object palette onto the new panel, or doubleclick an object to add it to the panel.

Drag a text widget to the panel and then modify the text in the Inspector palette. 2. 6 Save the panel Choose File > Save Panel, and then choose a folder in the dialog box to save the panel file. The panel is saved in a file with the extension . GPC. The default location is user s Home folder, such as C:\Documents and Settings\username (Windows XP) or /Users/username (Mac OS). 2. 7 Export the panel The Export command generates the required runtime assets for Photoshop CS4. Choose File > Export Panel, and in the dialog box choose the following location: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Panels/ (Mac OS) C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Panels (Windows XP) If Photoshop isn t installed in the default location, navigate to and the Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Panels folder.

For more information about the Export preferences options, see Chapter 4. 4 Package and deploy a panel Three types of Configurator objects accept relative paths as an attribute. These objects are the Script File button, the SWF/Image widget, and the Movie Player widget. A URL that starts with . / or . . / is treated as a relative path. The base path used to resolve a relative path is different in Configurator and in Photoshop. Configurator resolves the relative path based on the parent folder of the panel . GPC file. NOTE: If the current panel isn t saved, Configurator cannot resolve the relative path. Position the cursor over the tab in the Panel Editor to see the full path of current panel file. 4. 1 About relative paths For example, if a panel is saved with the path /Users/user/Documents/Untitled-1. gpc and there s a file test. jpg in same folder, Configurator can resolve this file with the relative path . /test. jpg or test. jpg. When the panel is exported to the Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug- ins/Panels folder, the referenced files in the same folder, such as test. jpg, are automatically copied to that folder. After exporting the folder structure looks like this: When the panel is opened in Photoshop, Photoshop resolves the relative path based on the parent folder of the . GPC file. [. . . ] In our example, that s the /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Panels/Untitled-1 folder. In another example the relative path . . /. . /. . /. . /Presets/Scripts/Image Processor. jsx is resolved in Photoshop to the absolute path /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Scripts/Image Processor. jsx. 4. 2 Export a panel When you choose File > Save Panel, Configurator saves the panel file with the file extension . GPC. To create a panel that can be opened in Photoshop, you must export it as a Photoshop Flash Panel extension. If Photoshop CS4 is installed on same computer that s running Configurator, the panel can be exported directly to the Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Panels folder. [. . . ]
