The IDEs used for Flex development namely Adobe Flash Builder 4 and Adobe Flex Builder 3 which are currently installed on your systems do not come with the AIR 2.0 SDK by default. Thus many of the features like Open Document API whose tutorial was mentioned in the last mail will not compile and will thus generate errors.

The following steps will illustrate how to do this: Download the ZIP package containing AIR 2.0 SDK using the following link http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/air/2/b1/air2_b1_sdk_win_111709.zip Unzip the contents in a new folder and name the folder Temp.
