Made my life quite a bit easier than trying to decipher the documentation. Also, in my research something you may want to add is that "app:/" is shorthand for "File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath" Thanks again! Thanks a lot for this post.

Thanks again!

I just thought for one moment if the updater could just update specific parts of the air package. Thanks for the reply. Many thanks Paul, this was how I expected it would be done.

So rather than use the application updater, you just need to build some logic into your AIR app that looks at a certain URL to see if there is new content - maybe images, text or data - and download it and store it in your app. This can be done transparently in the background.

What I would like to do is try to just update any supporting files and leave the app alone, so that it does not need to restart. Do you know if that is possible? Hey Paul,
