How does detecting and launching an AIR application form the browser work?
AIR applications must opt-in to be detected and launched from a browser. Through the use of the browser API, a badge can detect if a specific AIR application is installed, launch it, and pass parameters to it. However, this functionality is only supported using the Flash Player 9 Update 3 (version 9.0.115) and AIR Beta 3. Pleasesee documentation for details.
