Native Extensions // Support Site

After over a year of trying to handle support through email we've finally got a forum, feature requests and knowledge base up and running for the native extensions.

We'd love all our users to check it out, enter any suggestions for future ANE's, and to discuss any questions you may have regarding the use of the ANE's.

We've tried out several solutions and have decided to use the awesome Uservoice platform. We're hoping this will improve all our native extension users experience with our support and help you to get going with the native extensions faster.

Native Extensions // Using Native Extensions

This tutorial will cover adding a Native Extension for Adobe AIR to your application.
We are going to be focusing on the native extensions developed by distriqt, but this guide should apply to any native extension (ANE).

Native Extensions for Adobe AIR are code libraries that contain native code wrapped with an ActionScript API. Native extensions provide easy access to device-specific libraries and features that are not available in the built-in ActionScript classes.

Their usage is similar to a SWC package of precompiled Flash symbols.

In the following tutorial we’re going to go through the process of adding an ANE to your AIR application using some of the most common AIR development tools. We assume you already understand the process of developing and deploying mobile applications using AIR so will just be concentrating on the additional steps required to get an ANE working.
