Amy Editor – standalone desktop application in Apollo

Amy Editor can now be run as a standalone application on both major platforms, that is Mac OS X and Windows (XP SP2, Vista). Linux is currently not supported due delay in Flash 9 Player implementation (according to Adobe).

It’s not a miracle, it’s the promising new technology from Adobe called Apollo. Apollo attempts to create cross-platform environment for RIA (Rich Internet Applications) supporting common technologies used for web development – Flash, ActionScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS – coupled with APIs for local access typical for desktop applications.

Applications are distributed as downloadable packages that are installed as common desktop applications (a little bit more smoothly though). In order to run these applications, you must have Apollo runtime installed (downloaded and installed once).
