The problem... is that once you start introducing OS, Direct device driver control, Direct X, etc... You lose almost all of your "cross-platform" status. It's the same thing that Java has been trying to do for years. I think what the other guys are trying to say... is write a C# socket server that can talk to Actionscript. Keep it lightweight, basically just a tunnel to make things communicate. They weren't saying to re-write the whole application in C#, just the communication part.
You AIR client communicates with your c# app installed beside it, the c# app communicates with other clients c# app installed, which then passes messages to their AIR clients. I believe that is what they are recommending. On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 4:25 PM, Omar Fouad <[email protected]> wrote: > I know Anthony, but the application is already an AIR application.
