QR codes launching ADOBE FLASH PROFESSIONAL CS5.5 apps

Question

Hello I'm considering buying Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 to write android and apple apps but I have a couple of quesries that I hope someone can help me on:

1. Can I launch an app from a scanned QR code and, if so, soes anyone know how (perhaps have examples?)

2. I have been trialing the software and noted that a large file has to be instelled on mobiles (Air) before the app can run. Is is possible to package this with the app rather than the user having to download Air too? Does anyone make people feel that this will make Adobe apps less attractive or have I missed something?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Rob,1. If you can launch apps through a QR code with the native apps then you will be able to do it with the AIR apps, once on the device they function just the same so that's not really an AIR question its more of an Android or iOS question, I do not have any examples. You can always set up a QR code that goes to the store page for whatever app you are trying to offer to the user.2. Yes you can package the AIR plug in with your file, for iOS its done automatically for Android you have to do it maually through some command prompt and it appears to be a huge pain in the ass, but it is possible. Yes I agree having an air download required is not as attractive as a native app, the good news is that some devices come with AIR pre installed the Kindle Fire and the NOOK being 2 good examples.
