I’ve imported the Shu .swc to my library path in Flex, but i’m not able to use the functions listed on shu-player.com. Is this the correct syntax:

var shu:Shu= Shu.GetInstance();
shu.System.launchFile(“thefile.exe”);

True, but the extensibility argument is moot unless you have enough people to get on board and write more extensions – and it’s the bells and whistles that attract people in the first place.

By “non-SQLite database support” I meant databases *other* than SQLite.

“however, it doesnâ€™t look like you can include command-line arguments, which is a serious drawback”

Think your wrong there. Works fine passing arguments.

“and non-SQLite database support”

Thats built in to AIR. AIR has no MySQL support, but Shu adds this.

I think they have pitched this as simply adding the common things you would expect in AIR yet Adobe have missed out. And at least if there is specialized things you need to do, having an extension api at least doesnt lock out the option.
