[flexcoders] How can I launch windows applications like wordpad and notepad from AIR?

[sudha_bsb]

Hi,

I have this requirement like launching native windows applications
like Windows wordpad and notepad from an application.

How Can I go about it? Is there a facility to do this in AIR 1.0?

Thanks,
Sudha.

In short, you can't. 

In reality, there may be alternate ways to open files.  I blogged about 
this one, using NavigateToURL: 
http://www.jeffryhouser.com/index.cfm/2008/4/22/Using-AIR-to-launch-other-applications 
.  You could also check out "AIR Pollution" at 
http://blog.fluorinefx.com/ ; which is intriguing.

No, although Zoli at the silentgroup  has an alpha (work around ?)  for
windows : http://blog.fluorinefx.com/
Otherwise,I believe you'll have to communicate via localconnection or
socket server to something that can.
