Let me give some specific examples so hopefully we can get this to work. What I am creating is a "player" for a custom file type. The file is basically a zip (with different extension) that when opened is extracted to the app-storage location. This is just resources. Next I have a Flex based swf that can actually run with these resources. What I was thinking is that I could just copy this swf (and some others that it loads) into the app-storage directory and load it.
So what I have started with is a Flex based AIR application that registers as the default for the file extension, loads the file and extracts it to the app-storage. After I copy (mannulay for now) the external Flex swf and an html page to the app-storage, I load the html into AIR using the HTMLLoader. Eventually I would like to be able to update the external swf and some of the other supporting swfs, so please keep that in mind when making recommendations.
