Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that lets developers
combine HTML, Ajax, Adobe Flash®, and Flex technologies to deploy rich
Internet applications (RIAs) on the desktop. Adobe AIR allows developers
to use familiar tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver® CS3, Flex® Builder™ 3,
Flash CS3 Professional, or any text editor to build their applications
and easily deliver a single application installer that works across
operating systems.
How does Adobe AIR compare to Flash Player?
Adobe Flash Player is a browser plug-in that provides advantages for
users and content creators in the browser, including the ability to
deliver RIAs in the browser. Adobe AIR incorporates technologies
originally developed in Flash Player and enables rich Internet
applications on the desktop. Adobe AIR and Flash Player provide
complementary deployment methods for the RIAs.
