Hello there,
I am Actionscript 3.0 programmer working in Flash, Flex and Adobe Air. Please take a look at my feedbacks and reviews, all of my works are exclusively in AS3.
Regarding the project, I believe, I am one of the best candidates for Adobe Air application. However, I would like to know more about the project, since you are using Java as a backend which is very unusual. Is it java servlets or services ? Otherwise, Java itself is frontend programming language. I am well versed in Java as well. So, I believe, nothing complicated for me.
Let me know, if you have any questions.
Regards
