Importing Flex 3 AIR project to Flash Builder 4

[Guest]

I'm having some difficulty importin an AIR project built using Flex 3.3 on Flash Builder 4. I've followed the process outlined here:

But every time I import it, it imports as a Flex Web project rather than a Desktop project. Also, all of the "Add/Change Project Type" options are disabled, so I'm unable to change it.

How do I import a Flex 3 AIR project?

Thanks,

Did you get the "Choose Flex SDK Version" dialog? You only get that when your project is set to use the "default" SDK.

I was able to reproduce your issue. This happens because your project is set to look for a named "Flex 3.3" SDK. Did you setup Flex 3.3 in your Flash Builder 4 workspace yet? See Preferences > Installed Flex SDKs.

Thanks, Jason. Yes, I do have Flex 3.3 set up in my FB4 workspace. However, it still imports the AIR app as if it were a Flex Web app. Ultimately, I found a work-around: I created a new FB4 AIR Project, and copied the src folder into that project. The app.xml file has to remain from FB4, but it seems like everything else works.

Right, AIR 1.5 (in the Flex 4 SDK) has a modified app.xml namespace and XML schema. Your workaround was what I was going to recommend. Hopefully everything else is going smoothly.
