Tools

The Adobe® AIR® runtime includes both the WebKit HTML and Adobe Flash® engines, enabling applications built using HTML, JavaScript, Flash, or Adobe Flex®. Because Adobe AIR supports these technologies equally, developers can use the tools with which they are already familiar to build web applications in the browser.

Download the software, SDKs, extensions, and frameworks you need to build, package, and deploy Adobe AIR applications in your preferred development environment.
