AIR Tips

With the release of the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) Beta, I decided to do a collection of short tips that cover many of the features of AIR and ways to deploy AIR applications. For many examples I covered both Flash/Flex as well as HTML/Javascript examples of the features. You will find a listing of these below. Each one also lists what version it applies to.
