Is there a way to pass parameters to a running Air app or to invoke/start an installed but not running Air app with a parameter ? For instance, I have the app running, and you have the app installed, and I want to send you via MSN or an email a list of my favourite videos stored on a central server that both apps are connected to via webservices with a short clickable link. As in a URI like way myapplication:openvideo:videolist234567 ? Thanks ! Nils Hi

I'm finding the documentation to be vague and also wondering how a swf that launches the AIR app will know when it's available for communication. Do you know of any way to check if the AIR app is launched and available? Thanks, Paul Hi Marc,
