May 2Taking Flex To The Desktop: Browser to AIR

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.
