AIR Ersatz Thread Example

Citing the lack of threading as an example, I recently ranted that Air had a ways to go as a desktop application platform.  In the context of such rich platforms like Winforms and WPF, I think that's a fair assertion (the API's are all public, judge for yourself). At any rate, leaving aside dramatic pronouncements, I decided to create an example AIR application which would both search the file-system and keep the UI responsive.  This silly example simulates threading by doing small bits of searching on ENTER_FRAME.

Have a look here.
