Anyone writing extensions for your app, would compile them into a SWC file. Then, in your app, you can open the SWC (it is really just a zip file with some added stuff) and load the library.swf file into your application. It isn't as straightforward as you might like but it is possible. I posted some related resources on my blog at <a href="http://agileui.blogspot.com/2009/06/it-is-possible-to-do-this-in-air.html" rel="nofollow">http://agileui.blogspot.com/2009/06/it-is-possible-to-do-this-in-air.html</a>. You would probably want to provide an SDK (just a SWC file really) with the interfaces that developers need to implement in order to plug into your app. This is exactly how I am implementing third-party integration plugins for <a href="http://klok.mcgraphix.com" rel="nofollow">Klok</a> This probably isn’t the best place for me to respond to you, but what you are trying to do can be accomplished by dynamically loading a swf file at runtime.

I have gotten very good at it and an app I tried to write in HTML/Javascript years ago is now coming to fruition, partly thanks to your posts. I'm sorry for adding this to a blog post, but I couldn't find any way to email you directly...I have a question: Is there a way to link Actionscript files (.as) that are not compiled at runtime? What I want to do is allow users of my software to write their own Actionscript to extend the application's functionality on their own. The idea would be to have a script block that references a source file such as customscripts.as and have the application use the scripts on the fly rather than have it compiled in at runtime. Thanks, and again sorry for putting an unrelated reply on your post. -- Paul Peter,
