Running a native program in Adobe AIR
I need to run my own program and get the result in my application only on the Adobe AIR client side. I know that AIR does not allow native applications to be accessed, so what's the best way to achieve this? I came across this solution that works on Windows, but I need something that works on Mac too. I would rather not have two separate solutions if possible. Any suggestions?

I believe Shu might be what you are looking for. It costs money, but it is an API and bundler for AIR applications that gives them additional functionality.
To quote their site:
Shu provides the developer with command tools to enhance the system capabilities of your AIR application, features include, managing external applications, opening external files, database connection and management, system path retrieval, and screen capture functionality.
I believe its cross platform too.
