Helium is a new Open Source component library for Actionscript 3. The library allows Adobe AIR developers to create custom web-based installers.

The current AIR installer badge is limited, and does not allow you to add any validation or data collection (such as age validation, agreeing to terms and conditions or collecting email addresses).

This library provides an easy way to configure an installer using XML to load components and assets remotely and to display the Adobe AIR installer once validation has been completed.

The project is in early alpha after some initial tests. A new clean codebase has been started and documentation started on my Wiki. Please feel free to comment and if anyone would like to contribute please contact me.
