Robin, There are 2 ways this can be done - none is pretty. 1.You can "navigateToFile" - based on the mime type OS will open appropriate programe (Word for doc, etc and hopefully java for class). Needless to say it is error prone and configuration dependent. 2. You need binary component that would be used in conjunction with AIR. Unfortunately, you can not distribute automatically executable binary components automatically with AIR, so special program needs to be preloaded and invoked on the client machine. We had few C++ implementations on Windows that communicate with Flash runtime via LocalConnection, not sure what your platforms might be. That component would go into the AIR file and extract jetty server/run it. All-in-all,for Windows platform and to follow strict rules of security (only signed/trusted AIR files can distribute code) it is probably a 2 weeks project,with probably another week for each subsequent platform. Sorry, Anatole Tartakovsky
