Answer 1

Hi,

You can ask the user of the app if they want to update... or you can program the app to be updated silently each time you want/need.

If you are looking on how to auto-update here is a nice tutorial.

Also please consult the flex help pages for more details.

Sorry, I miss-understood you :)

The answer is Yes!

Step 1. find a way to check inside the ap if a new update is available for your application.

Step 2. Download the new applications version (ex app_V1.1.air)

Step 3. Use this code.... :D

import flash.fileSystem.File; 
import flash.desktop.Updater; 
var updater:Updater = new Updater(); 
var airFile:File = File.applicationStore.resolvePath("app_V1.1.air"); 
var version:String = "1.1"; 
updater.update(airFile, version);

For more details... consult the flex help pages and search for flash.desktop.Updater
