Native Extensions in AIR 3

AIR 3 is nearly done; the release candidate is now available on labs.adobe.com. It includes a host of new features, one of my favorites being the new native extensions capability. That’s right: you can now extend AIR yourself, adding new capabilities and integrating them with ActionScript.

For an overview of the feature, please check out my latest article on the Adobe Developer Connection, Extending AIR.

For even more information on the feature, attend MAX and join my talks on the subject.

    Oliver, this is great news! i just released a game using Adobe air – http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tunnelrunner/id459644700?ls=1&mt=8 – and i was sad to see the opportunity to use iAds or inapp purchases pass me by.

    I have downloaded the rc and am itching to get started with the native extensions – it would be amazing if you could tailor some of your samples around the iAd and inapppurchases systems.

    eagerly awaiting more!!!

    Thanks for the news Oliver! This is like gold!

    Can you tell us when an example for in-app purchases comes along?
