If you are only READING files, you have a bit more options. If you are writing files, or dealing with the OS extensively in traditional application ways, you pretty much have to go with a projector enhancer. You can't really use the browser, and you can't use AIR.
Some may say that their are other options by extending those environments (server-based saving--to server or locally, Java applets that add functionality to the browser, etc., but I don't consider them realities for the average user. mProjector is AS3-stable on the Mac, but not yet released on Windows, so that probably isn't a reality for an AS3 project. I've heard good and terrible things about Zinc, so I can't offer any opinions there. I'm sure others have used it and may be able to help. Finally, I've never had the slightest interest in any product that isn't cross-platform, so I can't speak to any of the Windows-only, or Mac-only (if there are any) options. Anyone else have any opinions on proj-enhancers? On 4/29/08 2:31 PM, "Bart Goormans" wrote: > Our app will be a sort of backoffice in which we will be dealing with > the filesystem extensively.
