Technically you can put any URL in there that you want, but I figure most people will use it for linking out to the compendium. When you're adding a creature to the encounter, you can link out to its entry in the compendium so you pull up all its stats and powers easily.

Have you considered having it work with the Iplay4e website? It appears to read the actual character builder files which have the powers in them.
Or maybe read the character builder files yourself to import a few stats? Eventually when the monster builder is ready those files could be available as well.
Anyway I'm like what you have come up with so far as it will now replace the spreadsheet I was planning on using to manage combat. The exporting and reimporting of characters will help plus I could pre set some of the encounters ahead of time and import them when the party came up to that point.
I'm also trying the offline version so let me know if there are some updates so I can try them as well.

Looks interesting.
Suggestion: run the defenses
AC Fort
Ref Will
Using normal english L-R, T-B processing, it's really disconcerting to go across the row saying "Init", "AC", "Where the heck did my cursor go?".
Or put the four defenses on a separate line or column.

I must be missing something really obvious, but I just cannot find any offline downloadable version of this. Is there something special I need to do or just a link i'm not seeing, or did I gloss over some instructions somewhere, or what?

Click that link, then at the bottom of the page it will say "Want to load saved files or run the app when not connected to the internet? Click here to download the Adobe AIR version of inCombat 4e! "

I've downloaded this on two separate machines and had difficutly with the second one. First off I needed to install Adobe AIR. Secondly I couldn't see the link to download until I told the program to run in full screen mode. The second machine was my laptop and it was probably a resolution issue that prevented me from seeing the link at the bottem. Going to full screen fixed that.

Yeah, looks like the html isn't putting up a scrollbar when the browser window height is smaller than the flash app. An easy fix, though.
Regarding having to install AIR, though, while it's a minor annoyance it's actually good in the long run. It means that using Flex I can simultaneously publish the app for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Heck, the thing's even coded such that the two versions use the same code, so if I fix a bug it automatically flows to both apps. Portability is good.

I didn't mean my comment on having to install AIR as a critique as much as making sure someone understood it was needed.
