John, Though your code is in ActionScript, you should just be able to use the MXML WindowedApplication tag just at the very top-level, and initialize your main ActionScript UI within an <mx:Script> tag.
Something like: <mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; applicationComplete="init();"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function init():void { // Fire up all your AS stuff here } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:WindowedApplication> Finally, I left out a step (4) in my previous message. Steps 1-3 are sufficient to run your AIR app in the debugger, but to distribute your AIR application you typically need to generate and sign a .air file. Flex Builder can do that; from the raw SDK, you should check out the adt tool.
