Air Application generated via RoboHelp: can a developer edit like any other Air app?

Hello Forum,

I have an Adobe Air application - contains a niche business methodology (interlinked processes, tools, templates etc.), authored and generated using RoboHelp - which I want to make available for commercial sale.  In order to do this it looks as if we need a developer to integrate with the API of the vendor (see examples below) with my Adobe Air Application (RoboHelp content generated as an Adobe AIR Application).

I asked this question in the RoboHelp forum but the initial response has been confusion and uncertainty over whether you can 'tinker' under the hood like this. I was hoping - praying indeed, we are up against a deadline - that this isn't a massive oversight and that Adobe Air Apps built using RoboHelp can be edited like any other.

Here are a couple of examples of the integration required:

Any comments or pointers (including developers to speak to) *greatly* appreciated.  Any questions, anything I've left out, please just ask!

Thanks,

Felix

It won't let post the discussion to the Adobe Air forum - it's greyed out and I not sure why - I'm registered, can post in other forums but not this one.

Any ideas why or how to get my post on there anyone?

Thanks again for the link Peter - as mentioned in an earlier post for some reason the 'Adobe AIR forum' is greyed out and I cannot post to it.  I am not sure why as I can post to other forums.

This is the grayed out Adobe AIR forum listing I get when I try to post to that forum... the message box below 'why are some items grayed out?' doesn't explain why I am.  I cannot find contact details or contact form for following up issues of site functionality. Does anybody know?

I don’t think you’re looking at the correct location – try http://forums.adobe.com/community/air and start typing your question in the “Ask a Question” field; it appears to be working fine.

Hi Jeff - the 'Ask a Question' field is a search bar as far as I can see - to start a thread there I am clicking 'new' and then 'discussion' from the drop down menu as per this screenshot:

I then see Adobe Air grayed out as per the screenshot posted above.

Sorry, I forgot how to start a new discussion (been a while). You need to choose an area first (like Problems & Bugs), then select that in your dropdown list (you get a “You are here” indicator next to the forum you’re in). Then you can start up a new thread.

You were trying to go at it from too high up the chain.
