I was told Disney Interactive os dropping AIR because Adobe ruled support
to community basis, I checked the enterprise support program on Adobe
website and saw AIR but not Flex. I answered my contact bringing good
attention on it but the conversation went cold. I assumed it meant Flex
since I could not find it on the enterprise support program. If you email
privately I will be happy to give you my contact name and email.
