Zinc 3.0 vs Adobe AIR
Adobe AIR is described by Adobe as a tool to leverage "existing web development skills in HTML, AJAX, Flash and Flex to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop."
However, contrary to common belief, AIR is not a SWF2EXE Application. Adobe AIR is actually a "runtime", much like the Flash Player, which must be installed on an end users system. This runtime then allows AIR "applications" (or web based RIA's developed with Flash/Flex) to run on the users Desktop, even if no Internet connection is available. Apollo does NOT compile a standalone executable which can be copied/distributed to other users.
It is necessary for the Adobe AIR Runtime to be installed on an End-Users system before an AIR Application can be launched. The Table below demonstrates some key differences between using Zinc 3.0 and Adobe AIR to develop Desktop Flash Applications:
The actual use of Adobe AIR differs quite dramatically from Zinc 3.0. Whilst both tools use the terms "Desktop" and "Flash" in their descriptions, the end results are very different, and operate in very different ways. Adobe AIR is geared towards developing an RIA for the Internet first, and then being able to run that on the desktop via the AIR Runtime.
Zinc 3.0 is a dedicated development tool for creating Flash/Flex projects specifically for the Desktop which requires no further components to run, and provides support and access to a far greater number of functions specific to the desktop.
