[Hopperxx] Updating a swf inside an AIR app

[Cole Tierney]

I would have a look productbuild:
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/productbuild.1.html>

It creates flat packages for the mac installer. In a nutshell, you feed it an xml file which describes which files go where and the name of the package. There are other ways to use it, but that’s all I’ve tried.
