Last I checked, AIR operates in a bit of a sandbox. It allows file 
system access and whatnot, but it can't spawn OS native apps, etc. It's 
part of the built in security features. There may be some things you 
could do with the Merapi project, but I couldn't say for sure.

No, I doubt you can listen for OS events of that nature.

 Hey Guys,
 
   I spend most of my life in webbernet development. So I have a few 
 basic questions, that I am hoping to get some quick answers to.
 
 I am going to be very blunt and say, I am not looking to make anything 
 lethal, my intentions are extremely for business purposes and improving 
 the work flow of my company.
 
 Does Adobe air listen to system events. Such, if you are on a windows 
 PC. Can you listen for programs opening, and closing, saving and pretty 
 much anything that you would want to catch and do a process for. I know 
 that it would be possible on the .net framework, but then I would have 
 to make a program for macs too. (Adobe wins, yay :P)
 
 If the answer is yes, can you please point me in the right direction to 
 how I can learn what I need to know about AIR.
 
 Question 2:
 
 Can I build addons to the adobe applications? If so, please point me in 
 the right direction.

Nope, not natively.
You can use the ExternalInterface to call (for instance) Java code that does 
though, I think.

*Ahh*. Well, Java :-)

You mean a plugin for Flex Builder ?

More like AI, ID, Flash, DW. Mainly the designer apps.

Wouldn't I have to initiate the Java runtime for that. Bah, .net fails. Hi,

After hearing about MS3, can support more on Linux then windowswell lets
just say the end is near.

Well, tell me were to start with Java, lol. I think its about time I start
learning it. (Preferably, what area do I need to know about to listen to
system events.)
