With Bluetooth ANE, you'll have access to the Bluetooth hardware. It enable you to scan for other devices, connect to and pair with them and finally transfer data between them. This ANE has been built with consideration of connecting to Android devices to each other. if you need it for other purposes, feel free to contact us here: http://www.myflashlabs.com/contact/ (This is NOT a Bluetooth LE API)
checkout here for the commercial version: http://www.myflashlabs.com/product/bluetooth-ane-adobe-air-native-extension/
you may like to see the ANE in action? check this out: https://github.com/myflashlab/bluetooth-ANE/tree/master/FD/dist
NOTICE: the demo ANE works only after you hit the "OK" button in the dialog which opens. in your tests make sure that you are NOT calling other ANE methods prior to hitting the "OK" button.
