An updated and extended version for FDT 4 and AIR 2 has been released!
AIR2 AND FDT4 (M3) – A DETAILED WALKTHROUGH

Original Post:
Admitting that I was surprised pleasantly that even the official Powerflasher-Blog published an article about compiling AIR projects in FDT 3 I recently started to take the challenge and began with the first steps.

1. Download AIR runtime and install. Check.
2. Download Flex SDK. Check.
3. Create new Core-Library for AIR. Check.
4. Create new Actionscript-Project with just added Library as compiling SDK. Check.
5. Download Example-Files from this entry. Check.
6. Configure ANT Build. Check.
7. Customize Descriptor File. Phew. Check.
8. Create new AS-Class. You know.
9. Compile. Yeah!
10. Package it. Che..cond.

• -certificate became -keystore
• -password became -storepass

If we’re changing these two param-names we’ll finally get a positive build packaging our project into an .air-File.

So here’s the updated task:
