Air application integration

Hi,

Air applicatin provided with native installer is standard OS X application with .air runtime content. So - assuming that .e.g TourDeFlex:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex.html

(Adobe's flagship app for desktop) can eat startup arguments it could be launched (communicated) that way

NSString *appPath = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] fullPathForApplication:@"TourDeFlex.app"]; if(!appPath) return; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:appPath]; NSArray *args = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"-show", @"exampleName", nil]; NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:args                                                     forKey:NSWorkspaceLaunchConfigurationArguments]; NSError *launchError = nil; [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplicationAtURL:url                                               options:NSWorkspaceLaunchDefault                                         configuration:options                                                 error:&launchError]; if(launchError) {     // handle launch error }

(get path knowing only name of app, construct URL path, construct arguments and ask system [a.k.a. workspace] to launch TourDeFlex)

hth,

kind regards,
