My concern however is that I know AIR has been integrated into Flash CS3 btu after building an App, i could see teh SWF in teh program of that app after installation. Pleae, is there a way around this. I wouldn't want my all year code to be easily decompiled and stuffs like that Hello Greg,

Drag and drop is also very useful and of course the embedded web browser is indispensable. It will be a web-browser/Desktop (AIR) hybrid at some point in the near future. Google's asked to fly me down and give them a talk. Database access is great for local caching and offline use.

Can you briefly describe why you chose AIR and what benefits AIR gives you over doing this as a browser-based app? It looks like you are doing local caching, right? Anything else that is AIR-specific that a simple browser-based/flash-based couldn't do? Thanks! Greg Matt – very impressive indeed! Can you briefly describe why you chose AIR and what benefits AIR gives you over doing this as a browser-based app? It looks like you are doing local caching, right?

You will be amazed IMHO. Shameless self promotion alert. If you want to see a “real” AIR app, check out EarthBrowser (http://www.earthbrowser.com). You will be amazed IMHO.
