Hi all, I am interested in a work-around as well, but unless I'm mistaken, the solution below may not work at the end of the year given a change to AIR starting in version 22?
"Starting in AIR 22, applications that play swf content via the HTML control (WebKit) will now load the system level NPAPI Flash Player provided by Adobe (https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer). If this plugin is not available on the system, the end user will be prompted to download and install the plugin from Adobe." Source: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/fp_22_air_22_release_notes.html If the plugin is to be removed from browsers, will the solution below continue to work? Will Flash still be available to install separately? Could it be as simple as holding onto a legacy NPAPI installer?

Hi Paul, We actually had the exact same setup in that we had an swf application we needed to continue using after browsers stopped supporting flash. What we did for the time being (but works very well): create an AIR application that uses the flex HTML control to load your swfs like you did in the browser. Create a WindowedApplication (Flex) with just one control in it: <controls:HTML id="htmlControl" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" /> On the creationComplete // Load your web application htmlControl.location = "https://app...";; In the end we did add the AIR updating functionality, but only for updating the AIR app (which rarely happens). The swfs are loaded / reloaded like the were in the browser. Cheers Paulus -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
