Trying to get a very simple AIR app working with the BB10 10.0.4 AIR SDK and I get:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable qnx.fuse.ui.skins:kinAssets is not defined.

It occurs when creating a label:

import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.display.StageAlign;
	import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
	
	import qnx.fuse.ui.text.Label;
	import qnx.fuse.ui.theme.ThemeGlobals;
	
	public class bb1 extends Sprite
	{
		private var label :Label;// = new Label();
		
		///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
		public function bb1()
		{
			super();
			
			// support autoOrients
			stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
			stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
			
			ThemeGlobals.currentTheme = ThemeGlobals.BLACK;
			
			
			this.label = new Label();
			this.label.text = 'Hello World';
			this.label.setActualSize( 200, 50 );
			this.addChild( this.label );
		}
	}

 The exception is thrown when trying to run it as an AIR app on the desktop.

This code runs fine for me on the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Simulator. Also opens fine when I click the .swf in my bin directory. My version is slightly different. 

package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	
	import qnx.fuse.ui.text.Label;
	import qnx.fuse.ui.theme.ThemeGlobals;
	
	[SWF(height="1280", width="768", frameRate="30", backgroundColor="#777777")]
	public class LabelTest extends Sprite
	{
		public var myLabel:Label;
		
		public function LabelTest()
		{	
			ThemeGlobals.currentTheme = ThemeGlobals.BLACK;
			
			myLabel = new Label();
			myLabel.text = 'Hello World';
			myLabel.setActualSize( 200, 50 );
			addChild( this.myLabel );
		}
	}
}

Using FDT5 free version.

I am trying to confirm that the SDK was installed correctly. Any suggestions of what I can check or do? blackberry-tablet-sdk-3.0.0 is in the RIM folder under "Program Files". Which is also defined under SDK for Adobe AIR under IDE PReferences.

I switched over to Flash Builder and I'm getting the same error as you. Seems to work fine in FDT. I will create a bug and follow up with the SDK team.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

[jtegen]

Thanks.  Let me (us) know when it is resolved.  Nothing can be developed in Flash Builder at this point with the new SDK.

Here is the bug for tracking - https://www.blackberry.com/jira/browse/BBTEN-16

Voted.

For BB10.04, skins reside in a native extension, so you have to add it to your project properties.

Unfortunately, FlashBuilder requires two steps to do it:

The project has to have the QNXSkins.ane added to it (Preferences->Build Path->Native Extensions) and marked to be included to the BAR file as well (Preferences->ActionScript Build Packaging->BlackBerry->Native Extensions). For the latter, you might have to expand the window to actually see the checkbox for the ANE.

The native extensions are under frameworks/libs/qnx/ane.

Doh! Was reminded about ANE"s that need to be added.

- Open up your project properties and browse the the Native Extensions tab in the ActionScript Build Path option. 

- Click add folder and then add the C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\blackberry-tablet-sdk-3.0.0\frameworks\libs\qnx\ane folder.

Make sure it's checked off to be included in your bar as well.

Paulo beat me to it. Thanks Paulo +1

Also - case in point why the workflow in FDT is much better than in Flash Builder.

I recommend it
