Is there a way to create a .swf file from an AIR application?

jslice390 · 04-30-2008, 09:48 PM

I'd like to create a desktop application that generates .swf files using AIR. I know you can create a text editor in AIR, but is it possible to make a .swf editor?

um. theoretically i guess it is possible but it would be SOOOOOO insanely difficult you might as well not even think about it.

what you could do is make a CMS with AIR and use flash as the template or whatever. you could send the settings to a php script to store in a browser or you could create an xml document that the swf file would load. Im guessing this isnt what you want tho.

What if I write a .jsfl file from AIR and then run a .bat file to execute the .jsfl to create a .fla and compile a .swf? Is there a way to run a .bat file from AIR?

hmm. i've never made a flash file from a jsfl file before. im going to assume you know what you are doing on that part.

anyways, im guessing you could do this with fscommand, but AIR does not have any program starting/running command of its own - so you could do this with a projector if you wanted.
