After some messing around, I found you can load Flash .swf into an HTML/AJAX AIR app. Little new to AS3, so this may seem like a no-brainer to most. Since it isn’t very well explained in the AIR live docs, hopefully this will help others out.

var url = “still_seq.swf”;
var urlReq= new air.URLRequest(url);
var ldr = new air.Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq);
var mc = $(’content’);
nativeWindow.stage.addChildAt(ldr, mc);

$(’content’) is the prototype.js shortcut for getElementById in javascript, which targets what div I want to replace with the .swf content.

Anyone know what happened to all the great combinations of app technologies in the Application Stack image you’ve got in this post?

Seems like I can use Flex/Flash or HTML/AJAX. Tried embedding Flash in an HTML/AJAX app with object/embed and swfobject methods and neither work.

Would love the freedom they detailed so well at MAX. Maybe this wasn’t ready for public release.

This is going to be an awesome developing tool, building desktop applications with languages mainly focused on web developing is going to ROCK!, at last web developers are going to be able to build instances of desktop applications :D

Interesting..keep the info coming…im still waiting to see if theres anything that would make me consider it over RCP for general desktop apps..but you never know whats around the corner… :)

p.s. perhaps you can help me with my new campaign. Every time i see the word ‘leverage’ I cringe. What have people got against the word ‘use’ ? Is it not exciting enough? Does the physicality of the word ‘lever’ make it sound like we’re working *really hard* and not just pressing buttons?

Your support would be appreciated.

;)
