Hi, Do you know if distributing an AIR app with artemis and handful of java classes is a complicate thing? I mean if the users will have lot od issues installing an application like that.
I would love to do the UI with Flex but I need to access the scanner somehow... I wouldnt like to have to do it in Java aghhh... It would be great if Adobe provides an API for TWAIN access, and I think it makes lot of sense considering their market, but if not I agree that there should be someway to interact with the OS to be able to do these kind of things... Thanks.
