Creating .as files with Adobe AIR

Question

Is it possible to write text using Adobe AIR so that I can save it as an actionscript class file?

I want to generate my own classes using air, I just have not found anything that explains how I can save say a text file as a .as file.

Answer 1

Abode AIR provides a rich client SDK, and a platform to target.

A definition of Adobe AIR, taken from their website (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/) :

The Adobe® AIR® 2 runtime enables developers to use HTML, JavaScript, Adobe Flash® software, and ActionScript® to build web applications that run as standalone client applications without the constraints of a browser. Adobe AIR and the Adobe Flash Platform unleash the creativity of designers and developers by providing a consistent and flexible development environment for the delivery of applications across devices and platforms. Support for additional platforms, including Android, is under development.

Actionscript (AS) is a scripting language that can be embbeded as a SWF file.

Answer 2

Yes, you can. ActionScript files are text files with an .as extensions, so if you can create text files, you can create ActionScript files (by filling them with valid ActionScript code and give them an .as extension).
