I haven't tried loading the SWZs from AIR. Darrell's our expert on RSLs so maybe he'll respond. I would think you wouldn't want to pick up the SWZs from the network, but I would think you could put them in one central spot on the client computer.

The app doesnt really have a main and sub apps as much as several peers based on common libs. I couldnt see a way to not include common modules in the .air distribution and still have everything in sync and work. Beginning to think the only way is to bypass the AIR updater and write my own. --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > AIR apps in the same folder should be able to share the RSLs.
