Well of course you could replace the Air SDK, but I still call this tightly coupled. In contrast to the Flash Player you can't simply select the runtime you want to use. Let me rephrase my statement: The Flex SDK is tightly coupled to only one Air SDK at a time :-)
Acutally Air, Flash and Flex are completeley individual products from Adobe. Adobe distributed them in an All-In-One package when releasing Flex to give you a complete tool suite at hand. Starting with Apache Flex 4.8 Flex comes completeley without Flash and Air. That's why they created their installer to download the missing parts and assemble a FDK that contains all of the parts the old Adobe FDKs contained. As I said ... if FM6 is doing something different than FM5 or FM4 please whip up a demo project and add it to Jira. And as far as I know you can do the missing steps for native deployment by using the antrun target and creating a script that does the last steps for you. I guess this is what most people I've heard of are doing. Sharing such a script to the other FM users would be great though :-) Chris 2013/1/23 Asking Dumbquestions <askingdumbquesti...@gmail.com> > Factually, I'm not certain of this: > > >> The problem is that usually the Air Version is tightly coupled with the >> flex version. >> > > ...as we could customize the Flex sdk by overwriting the AIR files > distributed within the Flex framework with the AIR sdk of your choice, etc. > > Moreover, Adobe has separated out the AIR sdk, so now you can compile AIR > apps completely without the Flex framework.
