RE: [flexcoders] AIR and flex together
What we have is a live flex app that gets updated every quarter by our client. The client currently edits, uploads, then tests on a staging environment but without going into the whole server structure isn't as speedy as it should or could be. Nor is the current process a visual way of editing. Hence the AIR app will give them a simple wizard/visual way of editing what they consider to be a complex file. So the plan is create AIR app which would have a 'test file' utility to check the progress (single click in one tool, compared to several tools and even more clicks). It would be very simple to create a standalone version of our flex app for the client to test locally but when the client requests a change to the flex app then we would then have two flex apps which need changed. We also need access to the clients machine, hence AIR and not flex. I've actually found a way of doing the communication this morning, if I use the flash.net.LocalConnection - 'Between content (SWF-based or HTML-based) in an AIR application and SWF content running in a browser' it allows me to send 40K chunks of data to the flex app. Kenneth.

[flexcoders] AIR and flex together
I'm looking for some samples/tutorials/general pointers in doing either of the following. 1)Create an AIR app that can load a live flex app and use that for testing. So We have a app which is live and if I could load that into a AIR app which can edit a config file and then test that config file using the live swf but inside the AIR app to make sure that if doesn't break the flex app before uploading new config for the live app. 2)Or I've heard of being able to drag data from an AIR app into a flex app. If so then the AIR app could pass the test data across to the flex app and it would refresh and we could see whether it works or not.
