Zoli, I am impressed! So I guess you included those 2 dlls in the air file, and found some way to call them? How? Are you going to let us know?

The last thing we as developers would want is an abuse of the AIR runtime which sullies its reputation. So we're getting a certain sandbox to play in. However, opening a document file such as a word doc, pdf or excel spreadsheet is a normal every day activity. The OS and the user already have responsibility to ensure that they are not accessing malicious content. IMO, letting AIR have a somewhat larger sandbox by passing to the OS a request to open files would be a huge step forward and make the user experience significantly better. For example, the AIR application I just built downloads data entitlements to a user's machine. Once downloaded, the user needs to navigate to that directory using the OS to open the files. It would be nice to not requre all that additional work on the part of the user.
