Glue an Adobe AIR GUI and Python kernel with AutoIt script
Problem
Adobe AIR program can't invoke local .exe file on Windows.
Solution
Use an AutoIt script to take over this task.
Detailed explanation
It is an interesting technique to develop an application with a Adobe AIR GUI and a Python kernel (implementing the functionalities) with PyAMF in between. (see a HelloWorld example at http://pyamf.org/wiki/HelloWorld)
Run(@ScriptDir & "\dist\MyKernel.exe","", @SW_HIDE)$PID = Run(@ScriptDir & "\dist\MyGUI private.exe")Sleep(2000)ProcessWaitClose($PID)WinClose(@ScriptDir & "\dist\MyKernel.exe")
@SW_HIDE). In this case, it is a python .exe generated by Py2exe.
