Hi all

Do you think it's possible to make an app with AIR that is Airplay compatible like this one?

In Phonegap is possible because you can set the second native view to a standard webView

but what's for AIR? I think it's impossible to do but I want to be sure that I don't think wrong.

Thanks

Sorry, no.

Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't like to add platform-specific features unless absolutely necessary. Their "solution" is to let 3rd-party developers come up with the tools (ANE's), even if the functions are ubiquitous to the platform.

Personally, my belief is that if Adobe want developers to take them seriously about being an iOS solution, they need to develop and maintain a core set of official iOS ANE's so we can provide a uniform, consistent user experience that customers expect of iOS apps. (Native alerts, native scollbars, etc, etc)

I had not heard of Phonegap's Airplay abilities. Will definitely check that out!
