Hi,
It would be wise to test on a clean machine and consider how you will get the
Flash Player in the future as I don't think Adobe will be providing them.
Harman might.
It's been a long time since I've dealt with these sort of issues and I think
there may have been additional security restrictions added in AIR since, but I
thought that folks had successfully used a Flex/AIR shell to load code modules
from the network.
HTH,

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

If this plugin is not available on the system, the end user will be prompted
to download and install the plugin from Adobe."

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
