If you are developing a desktop application and can distribute a website, go to AIR. With AIR, you get a bunch of features that regular web flashes don't have, including:

  • Additional local file access options
  • Ability to create your own windows
  • Ability to create your own menus
  • Local encrypted store


And many others.

The big share, as I mentioned, is that the easiest way to get people to install an AIR application is through a web page. You create a so called install icon (it's just a specially crafted SWF), and when the user clicks on it, they will get both AIR and your application. If you need to distribute, say, a CD-ROM, you have to force users to install AIR first and then install the application. Right now, they can't just click and launch an AIR application, as you can tell, an executable projector. For these purposes, I would look at one of the various third party tools like MDM Zinc, SWF Studio, or mProjector.
