Yeah, I don't care for the version-control stuff, if we wind up doing this with AIR... But the people who are going to access this program are pretty much in-house only, so hopefully it won't be too terrible... The only people outside of our company who will access this app are the IT staff from our client companies, so they should be smart enough to realize what's going on, I would hope.
I found an article that talks about integrating version-control into an AIR app, and using our CF server to send the new app automatically when an older app tries to log in. So hopefully we can do that, if we do need to go to AIR... It does seem like we can automate the entire process, which is what we'd need of course. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/managing_air_updates_with_coldfusion.html The PHP sharedPrinter thing -- I'm not sure, yet, if that's going to be an option or not... It would mean installing PHP on our servers, and I have no clue about anything related to PHP... It *seems* like it might be an option, but I don't really know enough about PHP to know for sure yet... (Can PHP determine what printer(s) is/are connected to the client's computer -- it appears that it can? Can it send a print-job to a specific printer on that computer without popping up a dialogue box? If so, how do I set up and control that print-job? How do I get my Flex app to send a print job *through* the PHP server to the client's printer? These are the questions I need to answer before I can know if it will work for us.) Frankly, I don't yet know enough about AIR to even be absolutely certain that will work for us -- again, it *seems* like it could work, but I guess I'll just have to play with it to know for sure. I'm still pretty much open to any and all suggestions here, if anyone can think of anything... L.
