Thanks Michael,

I will give this a try.

Currently, within FB3 I can create an AIR project and it does these 
things for me but the output is structured similarly to a Flex project 
but my projects are ActionScript projects built within FB3 and so the 
conversion isn't quite the same.

Perhaps I should be looking to convert from AcitionScript to Flex as an 
intermediate step: by minimizing the mxml and calling my main Document 
Class from the main mxml class and then modify that for AIR.

It's annoying because from within Flash Prof. I can publish as AIR, but 
that's a conversion step backwards.

John
