1. Re: what is the best third party app to build flash standalone applications with?
sinious Feb 8, 2013 7:13 AM (in response to dazzfazz)Adobe AIR has native extensions (ANE) just for this. For any functionality the AIR framework doesn't have you can write plugins that extend the capabilities of AIR. Here's a list of extensions for example, some are Windows (most mobile though):

Here's an example of a Windows ANE written in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ to tap into the .NET image processing:

Aside that I've used mProjector and Zinc and between the two, they also support their own plugins for extended functionality.
Although I greatly prefer Zinc. I've used it in several projects and the library of extended functionality it comes with is pretty extensive, documentation and support are great. They update quite a bit as well.
