The following example shows how you can display custom icons in an Adobe AIR application by setting the <icon> node in the AIR application’s descriptor XML file.
Full code after the jump.
<!-- The icon the system uses for the application. For at least one resolution, specify the path to a PNG file included in the AIR package. Optional. --> <icon> <image16x16>assets/AppIcon16.png</image16x16> <image32x32>assets/AppIcon32.png</image32x32> <image48x48>assets/AppIcon48.png</image48x48> <image128x128>assets/AppIcon128.png</image128x128> </icon>

Thank you very much! Helped me a lot.
Your paths are different here. “/assets/” and “assets/”
Much confusion may be caused by such little things.

My descriptor file reads as follows:
examples.html.SeaKing
0.1
SeaKing
index.html
true
855
590
And after reading this article, i’ve written the following to put in my XML descriptor file:
/assets/App_16.png
/assets/App_32.png
/assets/App_48.png
/assets/App_128.png
I’m 100% sure everything’s correct, including the image paths. But I’m not sure where in the XML file to put this-whatever I try never shows up when I test it out. Any help?
Just preferred to say that you’ll have some helpful articles in your website online. You have accomplished a extremely good employment with this one particular. Thanks!
I’ve eventually identified a regular presentation on this matter. Thank you
Two days of trying to implement the icon does not work.
Only after the export in .air will be displayed. (This is not mentioned anywhere in the help that in order to display the icon you want to create .air!!!!!
andrey: use
in XML:
icons/16.png
icons/32.png
icons/48.png
icons/128.png
and in program:
if (NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon) {
icon.load(new URLRequest(“icons/16.png”));
}
if (NativeApplication.supportsDockIcon){
icon.load(new URLRequest(“icons/128.png”));
}
