Hi,

I plan on building an app for iOS and Android as well as Mac and PC.  My question is this:

Can I build an app for Android and iOS using AIR that connects to a central program on a PC or Mac also made on AIR through a wireless connection?

What would the simplest way to do this?  Is it even possible?  Thank you!

Use sockets.

On mobile devices AIR provides the socket class (flash.net.Socket) to implement client functionality. Desktops further provide flash.net.ServerSockets, so your project should be possible in AIR. I've never tried it, though....
