Taking Flex To The Desktop: Browser to AIR

May 2, 2008 · 2 Comments

I was having a conversation with Charlie today at lunch and we were talking about how easy it is to take an application from the browser to the desktop with AIR. I decided that I should give you an example of how easy it is to do this. My hotel search and call application is a good place to start. I created a new AIR project in Flex Builder and copied the source from the Hotel Search & Call app into the project. I copied the code from the KayakHotelSample.mxml into the main file for the AIR project. I then changed the "mx:Application" tag to "mx:WindowedApplication" and ran the application within adl (the AIR debugger). The app ran flawlessly the first time. One tag is all it took to migrate a Flex app from the browser to the desktop.
