Thanks Jake,
At this risk of getting too off-topic, I don't *think* that will work
for my scenario, which is an app that does a lot of jquery ajax stuff
with json. In particular, there is a sandbox that some of it will have
to live in:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR:HTML_Security_FAQ
Also, ideally, I would like to maintain one copy of the "core" code, but
have it work for both the AIR app and the web app, ideally with them
both sharing code (not copies).
FWIW, right now, I have little need for the AIR-specific features (drag
drop, local file system access, etc), and am just looking for the best
way to shoehorn my existing jquery app into the sandbox, I *think*.
Re: FlexBuilder, I'm using the Aptana plugin for AIR in Eclipse.
Thx,
Jack

As jQuery ajax functions work within Safari (Webkit), there should be
no major overhauls necessary for your app. Simply generate a static
HTML representation of your application and include it in a directory
with jquery.js, AIRAlias.js and your custom scripts/images. Create an
AIR configuration file (see book) and you should be good to go.
You may also want to check out the Flex Build IDE for Eclipse. It
includes a lot of built in functionality for developing AIR
Applications using either Flex/Flash or HTML/JavaScript.

Subject: [jQuery] jquery + adobe air: getting started?
Hi All,
Anyone know of some blog entries, tutorials, etc (other than the general
stuff at Adobe Labs) that might help me get started "migrating" a
jquery-based HTML app to the Adobe AIR runtime? I'm looking for
jquery-specific tips, examples, etc.
My app does a lot of ajax calls that send json data back and forth, so the
bulk of it will live in the AIR sandbox, at least initially, so that has to
be present in the how-to's. I'm using Aptana's AIR plugin for Eclipse for my
IDE, FWIW.
Thanks!
