For Adobe AIR, clearly is a option, but I think another, I already didn't test, is Apache Cordova, since there's already projects in examples folder. I still want to try that scenario.

Although I think is just a matter to give that feature more love :).

I'm thinking as well that we could have a simple example working in our website if we could host PHP support...it could be great so we can create blog example about AMF. > * NativeProcess API to convert images using a compiled version of > ImageMagick (so accessing .exe files and mac executable scripts) > * NativeExtensions > this two are as well Adobe AIR not Royale > > Can this all be used with ApacheRoyale? > I never tried AIR with Royale, but I assume that is possible since AIR is Flash and HTML engine from the start and Royale supports both, maybe others could give some word of experience on this. > > Thanks for the information, I'm going to experiment with the examples and > try to convert some parts of apps to see where this is going. > ok, just one word. My vision with people joining is that although Apache Royale is very usable nowadays, we are still a 0.9.x version and although is near completion the fact is that still is not 100% complete, I'm sure you'll find always some black points, but hopefully you'll can get help from us, but as well we expect from you to try to solve things and send us Pull Request (PRs) to fix things. From my experience, latest months, I think is unrealistic to start with Apache Royale and expect all is done for you to use, I think that hardly could be the situation, so having in mind that you'll need help, and will need to fix things yourself, is the right state of mind from my point of view from something coming to Royale. Hope you enjoy the journey and wish good luck with Apache Royale, and expect see you here many times! :) Carlos > > Best regards, > > Fréderic > > > -- Carlos Rovira http://about.me/carlosrovira
