Adobe’s Strategic Transformation

• teyc 15y ago
  how is Adobe Air different from Flash? Are they different runtimes?
  • pan69 15y ago
    Yes. Adobe AIR is more like a container and functions similar to a browser while it exposes an API to access certain OS functionality (file system etc). Inside this container you can embed either Flash Player or HTML/CSS/Javascript based content. Another way of looking at it is, AIR allows web developers to create desktop applications using the knowledge they already have.

      A bit like a UIWebView? How would one deliver flash based stuff on Air on the mobile then, or would the developers have to exclusively work with HTML and js?
