Darren: Would you be willing to share the "Adobe Air SWF Launcher?" If not we would be very interested in as much detail as you would be willing to share, so that we could replicate it.
What I am in the middle of writing is a main application shell which checks the date of the local SWF, the corresponding SWF hosted on a web site, and if the local one is older download the one from the web site.

I'm not sure how big your application is but ours was absolutely huge; many millions of lines of Flex/AS code. We looked at Apache Royale / FlexJS when it was in its infancy and we simply could not justify the time and effort it would take to port it to that. The component selection simply was not there, the IDE support was minimal and it was an absolute pain to get the smallest of bits to compile and display anything plus all the MXML needed rewriting. We wanted a quick solution that could use the existing code base, as-is, while we rewrote the product using React/HTML/D3/SVG. First step was creating a direct Adobe Air compilation of the original codebase. We also used IntelliJ IDE and I never had a problem with it requiring the FlashPlayer. Other than working through some base component issues and some other bugs that surfaced, it wasn't too bad. We ended up extending that and going for a solution that loaded the original SWF file and essentially hosted it in via what we termed the "Adobe Air SWF Launcher" (almost a surrogate FlashPlayer). This way we didn't need our customers to reinstall the Application if there were bugs or tweaks, we could simply host a new SWF which would be consumed by our launcher.
