HOWTO: Running Adobe's Flexstore demo as a desktop application

Open a command prompt, and change to the Sidewinder directory. If you have installed Sidewinder in the default locations, then you can type this:

cd "\program files\sidewinder\viewer 2.0"

Now execute the following command:

swviewer2 http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/flexstore/flexstore.html#meta(width=1010,height=610)

flex-store-command-prompt

Sidewinder will open as a basic Windows application with the Adobe Flash Flexstore demonstration running inside:

The Flexstore application functions as normal, but it can be treated as a desktop application in its own right, distinct from the browser:
