Hey,

did you initially create your project through flash builder or did you use the AIR LanchPad? Below is the source code from the descriptor file for AIRHelloWorld that should have been generated by Flash Builder. Good luck!

ok i think i found the mistake,

when i create a new AIR project, the version is 2.0 not 2.5 :

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0">

i am using the flex sdk 4.1 and i am downlading Flex Hero.

Hey,

yeah my hunch is that when you initially created the project it wasnt by the book and caused some minor errors with the SDK import and setup. Installing burrito fresh will solve your problems but make sure you follow the Getting Started Guide step by step while installing the blackberry sdk onto it. it can be tricky! here's the guide:

http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/21878/Installing_the_SDK_1347128_11.jsp

good luck!

Everything works fine with burrito, thanks for all
