AIR and Flex overlapping files

Hi,

I noticed that some AIR SDK and FLEX SDK files are common.
Sometimes, only the Apache/Adobe headers differ, but other times, the content is also different.



-          Asdoc/ : header only

-          bin/ :  header + content in many compiler scripts.

-          framework/libs:  core.swc (!)

How do we manage this ?

-          How are files merged when building the Flex SDK with the installer ?  I believe that Flex overwrites AIR.

-          What happens if either Adobe AIR or Apache flex team changes one of the files, won't it break AIR use in Flex ?

I installed it from this page:  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
(AIRSDK_Compiler.zip)

So I will use the standalone one from:
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/4.0/AdobeAIRSDK.zip
(url from installer config file).

Thanks for the answers.

My AIR SDK 4.0 does not have core.swc.  Did you install the Flex-compatible AIR SDK?  I think that's why they have to versions.  The default one is standalone and includes the compiler and some swcs and the Flex-compatible one is meant to be an overlay.
