When I compile a project is not a window flash player, but I can hear sounds from SWF. Other AIR project compiles fine. AIR application also does not appear on the screen, but it can be seen in the memory.

Using the code Omar Fouad posted, i was able to create a Air App with flex builder, tho i had the issue when i closed my application, the debugger would still be running, so i had to manually stop de debugger with the red square (stop-button) below is a workaround for the problem.

instead of creating a new NativeWindow, i would recommend to use the stage.nativeWindow property. You should start it like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.NativeWindow;
public class airApp extends Sprite
{
private var m_NativeWindow:NativeWindow;
public function airApp()
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStage);
}
private function addedToStage(e:Event):void
{
m_NativeWindow = stage.nativeWindow;
m_NativeWindow.activate();
}
}
}

Hope this is helpfull for some people

The main class extending sprite is not enough to show something on the screen. You should add a native window first that would act as a main stage.

var windowOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
// create the window
var mainWindow:NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(windowOptions);
// activate the window
mainWindow.activate();
// adds “this” to the stage of the Window we have created
mainWindow.stage.addChild(this);

How can you create an AIR Application in an Actionscript Project with Flex Builder 3 beta?

I found the answer in Mark Walters BlogIn a nutshell

create a Flex Project
choose AIR as the application type
click next
click next again
rename the main application file from .mxml to .as

ive just tried this twice on a mac with no cigar. when i compile the project the trace output is good but instead of launching a swf all i get is a little app that opens called ‘adl’. so i’m wondering: are you compiling on windows?

hello.
i just installed flex3 and i tried to build a AIR app like you said, but when i hit debug, nothing shows up. what am i missing ? i just started with AIR, so im trying to find out if there are anything that makes it better to build an AIR desktop application than creating a actionscript project..

i only code AS3.
