Abstract
Creating an Adobe AIR application with Flash CS4 is similar to writing a Flash application for the Web. There are, however, important differences regarding the AIR publication settings and the version of ActionScript to use, as well as the AIR APIs. For example, in an AIR project developed with Flash CS4, you must use the latest version of ActionScript: ActionScript 3. Also, when you create AIR projects with Flash CS4, you are creating cross-platform projects—they should be able to run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. You don’t need to study other languages; you don’t have to learn other tools.
