air on iOS

Hi, I made an app with AS3 in AIR mode.

I install it on Android. it works fine. it loads a lot of swfs wiht abc code in it on demand.

But On iOS, as you already know,  it can not load swf with abc code unless it is packaged on compile. 

We have already made a lot of educational courses which are in service in web version.

There are too many to package all those stuff.

I googled a lot and found that

In this, if I use AIR Developer Tool(ADT), I could load any swfs as I please.

My questions are

1.  ADT is something new to me, is this only way to load swfs with abc code?

2. this article was in 2013, Does it stll work in 2016?

Thank in advance.
