If we deploy applications using AIR we will need to deploy updates. At present in the Flash/HTML environment that is easy (except for caching) you put the SWF file in the production folder of the website and the next time a user needs the module the get the new one.
Our systems consist of one Main.swf file and many modules (independent .swf files) which are mostly independent of one another. We would like to have a mechanism which would identify new .swf files which need to be loaded to client computer whenever the .swf file is needed. Perhaps if a swf file has been verified for the current session, and the current day it would not be checked against the master. Will "Adobe AIR Update Framework" do this (or help) for our applications? If so, where can we get a good introduction tutorial/documentation? If not where can we find something which will help accomplish what we are looking to do? Another alternative is to check if there are updates when the application is loaded, but if a change is made to an obscure module which is seldom used by few people, we would not want to load it during startup which could/would cause the application to load slowly. We prefer JIT deployment. Paul R. Stearns Advanced Consulting Enterprises, Inc. 15280 NW 79th Ct. Suite 250 Miami Lakes, Fl 33016 Voice: (305)623-0360 x107 Fax: (305)623-4588
