Is AS2.0 able to publish in the new Adobe Air?

[yan82]

I have lots of flash projects done with Actionscript 2.0, but with the introduction of Adobe AIR, it seems that what i had created using AS2.0, could not be published for AIR. Is there a way to publish AIR applications using AS2.0? Pls advice me, thank you very much.

In short, no. AIR leverages the AS3.0 platform.

eh, you can load an as2 swf into your air app, but to leverage the platform no.

Yep. What hangalot said. Besides, if you couldnt do it in as2 but can do it in as3, your app probably wasnt engineered to have to make calls to AIR in any case... ;) Simply write the new functionality in an AIR shell and load in your AS2 file into it like this:


var l:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(l);
l.load(new URLRequest("youras2file.swf"));
