From the Browser to the Desktop ... and Back Again!
Presentation Materials

This document serves to remind those who attended my presentation the order in which I presented the material 
and the content provided within the zip files.

I started the presentation with a brief slideshow laying down the agenda for the topic:

The slideshow is included in the Docs folder within full zip file shown below:

I then proceeded to demonstrate and explain the first of the sample Flex apps:

Next I described how I converted the Flex app into an AIR app with now changes to the code:

Then I showed what I did to add Drag and Drop capability to the AIR app:

My last demonstration included both the Flex app and the AIR app. I showed the code that was added to enable the 
Flex app in the browser to communication with the AIR app on the desktop. 

First I showed the ColdFusion-based Flex app wrapper (the page that is used to display the Flex app - now a cfm file) and 
described the changes I made in order to pass a query string value into the Flex swf file (using Flashvar).

Then I showed the Flex app, describing how the Flex app reads the FlashVar that was passed into it. Then I described 
the code that establishes a connection with the AIR app (assumed aready running).

I followed the flow of information over to the AIR app and described the code needed to establish a connection and 
respond back to the Flex app.

And that's it. Well ... a few of you were very interested in the Adobe product icons I used in my presentation. 
The icons I used are not the official Adobe CS3 icons but instead a stylistic variation:
