Hi Folks: I needed to launch two instances of my AIR application. I didn't know how to adopt a multi-window approach as suggested in this thread (pointers on how to do that would be most helpful!), so I came up with a very simple poor-man's workaround that may be useful to others in the community.
1. Find the directory C:\Program Files\MyApp your where your AIR application was installed 2. Copy the whole directory and create C:\Program Files\MyApp2 3. Open the file C:\Program Files\MyApp2\META-INF\AIR\application.xml in a text editor 4. Change the application identifier string for this second instance as follows: <!-- The application identifier string, unique to this application. Required. --> <id>MyAppIdentifier2</id> 5. Run from C:\Program Files\MyApp2 That's it! --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <aha...@...> wrote: > > flash.events.InvokeEvent. (Yes, I did look it up).
