The command proxy allows you to send calls to external code to do things you can't do in AIR via sockets. Effectively, it is a web server on the desktop. It will work, but you don't get the nice AIR experience because the command proxy isn't an AIR app, and AIR apps can't execute programs on the desktop. > "How about just distributing that SWF and the HTML file instead of > using AIR?" can you give me some information about this solution? Well how is your prototype working now? I assume you are using Flex and running the flex app in IE, and calling javascript in IE which in turn calls the Word ActiveX object to do stuff and return to you. Just distribute the .htm and .swf. But it will only work on Windows, and only if Office is installed. > "AIR's E4X support to work with the XML file" the file I want to read > is *.doc therefore can E4X do it? Nope - only with docx files - the new format.
