Adobe Air launcher

Is there a way of stopping execution of application "A" and transferring control to application "B" in AIR?

Or will I need to create an OS command procedure?

My thought is to write an application whose only purpose is to verify that my "real" application is up to date, download any SWF files which are out of date, and then start the real application.It appears I can create an "Application Domain" and load things into it, but for my purposes, if I could stop execution of one application and start execution of a second, that would be best.

If this can be done in AIR, rather than OS command procedures, then I won't need to deal with Command procedures for Windows, Mac & Linux.

Technically, yes, you can launch B and quit A.  In fact, I believe the Flex SDK Installer does that.  I think NativeProcess will do the launch.  You may have to deal with path issues but if you get the path right, it should launch.  And then I think it is NativeApplication that will quit the app.
