We've used the strategy pattern for this. We do something similar to how ToolTipManager uses toolTipClass.
When the app starts up (or module is loaded), the correct classes are injected into the files which have AIR / player differences. We also have two "front end" swfs which are little more than preloaders primed with appropriate classes for the rest of the application. As an example, we've used this mechanism to cache the same data in the SQLite DB in AIR, or a Shared Object in the Flash player via the same call (i.e. the rest of the app was agnostic to whether it was in AIR or FP) Gk.

My question is based on David Coletta's MAX presentation. If you haven't seen his presentation, please watch here: http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15384v1022 <http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15384v1022> The slides are available here: http://www.slideshare.net/dcoletta/DavidColettaArchitecting-a-Shared- <http://www.slideshare.net/dcoletta/DavidColettaArchitecting-a-Shared-> Codebase-for-Browser-and-DesktopFinal To everyone who has seen his presentations, could you help me out in understanding how his "Browser SWFs included in AIR file" works to solve the "Shared code packaging" ? This is what I understand on what he did with that approach: 1. Only have one AIR project that contains all AIR implementation. 2. Each of your module's common functionality, extract them out to an interface and then have Flex-specific and AIR-specific class implements the interface. So I am kind of get the idea but I have a very hard time understanding on how he was able to get each module to have the AIR project to serve the module's AIR-implementation needs? Thanks!
