    they're spreading AIR around because they don't want to bundle certain functionality into the Flash Player even though they could. Like saving multiple files is not possible in Flash, but possible in AIR.

    The justification is probably "security."

    Also AIR can run HTML/JS just like browsers, so you can make your ajax browser apps into AIR apps, and not wait for the browsers to add local storage functionality.

    • if it's happening in a browser, it's the browser that is preventing local access, nothing to do with flashacescence
    • you don't really want your browser to be able to write files to your hard drive.mathinc
