Question

I make a big AIR application with lot of files. It's big and slow to compile.

In the future, only a few files of this application 'll be changed, and I would like to update only this files while updating AIR application instead of updating the entire application.

It seems not possible because during updating, AIR delete all the files that are not present in the updated appli version.

Is there some way to update only part of my AIR application ?

Thanx

Hi,

AIR's current update mechanism don't support update only some files. I'd like to suggest you to post a feature request here: http://ideas.adobe.com/air.

Thanks,

Xia

Another option to consider is decoupling the content from your AIR installer.  Would it be feesible to have your application copy/install the content on first launch?  Or maybe wrap your AIR installer in a native installer that first installs the content then sub launches the AIR installer?

Thank for your answer. My question was in to avoid 'more complex' solutions like the ones you describe.
