Publish a Flex project, which is better option SWF or AIR?

Question

Hello,

if i made a project with flex, and i want to distribute it, what it´s the better choice? i mean, it is not internet app, just desktop demo, what about the computer where application should be executed, there is any way to pack the application togheter with the flash/AIR player, in order that everything needed will be just in the exe or dmg file?

thanks. Br

Answer 1

AIR is cross platform so if you go that route you should only have to generate one deliverable. Otherwise you'll need to make a PC projector and a Mac projector.

Answer 2

If you export it as an air application the clients will need to have air installed.

There is an option to deploy an air 2.0 application as an executable

Answer 3

click&go solution ? Deploy it online as a Flex app. Using Flash Player, it will be loaded without any problem in any browser. Just give your boss the URL he'll be good to go !
