[Fwd: UG News--Adobe AIR Tour's Boston Event is Aug 24]

[michael.timony-H+0wwilmMs3R7s880joybQ at public.gmane.org (Mick Timony)]

Could be an interesting talk, but, it looks like it may be Windows or
Mac only to use the Adobe's Flex Builder IDE. 

The page about the event says:

"What to Bring
Yourself, laptop, any Flex, HTML and JavaScript apps you want to get
running on Adobe AIR ... "

But, AFAIK, Flex Builder, Adobe's IDE for Flex built on Eclipse, only
runs on Windows or Mac (click on Product Details):

But, there are workarounds (or hacks) to get it to work on Linux:

If anyone knows otherwise let me know.
