AIR Pollution
Disclaimer: No swfs, libraries, Air runtime, tools were harmed during the making of this application.
You all know by now the popular request to launch native executables from an AIR application.
Note, this demo is an experiment/hack that shows how AIR can be extended with native Windows libraries. It does not require having the .NET framework installed and works only on Windows (of course the application will run on other operating systems too where AIR is supported but without native library access).
After installing the application you can test 2 things: querying the operating system info (will use the GetVersionEx kernel32 function) and performing file operations with the ShellExecuteEx Windows API.
Give it a try.
