Adobe AIR as a platform for Flash
What I’ve yet to see in the AIR marketplace is an application that uses the SWF format as it’s content that it distributes. I can envision a fantastic gaming platform created in AIR that allows for a Flash developer network to create a myriad of playable online and offline Flash games.
The app could distribute a framework FLA that anyone could use to create a game. Games could be uploaded to a server and then sold in an online marketplace navagable through the AIR application or an online Flex app. Once bought and downloaded, games could be played online and offline, cross-platform.
The “app store” mentality is really taking control of the mobile space right now, why not the computer space as well? Facebook sure seems to be banking on it.
