FxSpy as desktop AIR application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi!
Great work!
It would be great if you develop an AIR application based on the FxSpy
component, which allows users to inspect any flex application on the system
(as it Spy++ does for regular Win32 apps).
I am not sure if AIR sandbox will allow to implement "find objects using
mouse pointer" feature, when user can inspect flex UI objects under the
"crosshair" cursor. Still, i think it is possible to make this using .NET
on Windows or something different on other OSes (of course, if AIR supports
proper interoperability).
It would be a really helpful tool. Thanks.

The way to do it is to compile the logic and the crosshair feature into the app 
you
want to monitor, and have it communicate via local connection with the AIR app 
using
a named pipe (I would generate a new name from the running app every session 
and type
it into the AIR app -- local connection has issues with reusing names).
