Baking desktop applications using As3 and Zinc.

Zinc 3.0 is an alternative to turn Flash/Flex applications to full portable desktop applications.

As3 and Zinc 3 is the standard to develop desktop applications (often called widget) in the advertisement industry: it is easy and cost effective.

It is possible to style the window (I had transparent mode).
There is a very interesting library that extends the capabilities of flash.

The Mdm Zinc forum is very helpful.
