I just came across a poster, which shows how Apple has evolved by releasing new products from 1976 through 2007.

Apple Evolution

Inside .AIR

Posted by suketuvyas in : General, Apollo, AIR , 1 comment so far

I have started playing with AIR. I found it very easy and effective to create desktop applications rapidly.

I was playing with AIR sample files and discovered that you can extract .AIR file using file zipping tool (WinZip / Win RAR)

For Instance:

Select any Air file and open with Winzip / winrar and extract that file to some folder.

It will result in to following package structure..

/myAppRoot
        /META-INF
             /AIR
                  application.xml
                  hash
        myApp.swf
        mimetype
        /images
                  image-1.png
                  …
                  image-n.png
        /libs
                  lib-1.swf
                  …
                  lib-n.swfAIRAlias.js

This gives an idea of how .air file is structured when it is packaged.
