Add AIR 2 to FB4?

Question

I downloaded and installed FB4 beta 2. I want to try out some of the new AIR 2 beta features, but AIR 2 is not packed with FB4 by default, how can I set this up?

Thanks!

(Also if possible I still want to be able to use FB3+AIR1 for regular projects)

Answer 1

First you need to download the air 2.0 sdk http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html and then follow the instructions in the release notes.

The installation of the sdk is not global, so you will have to choose which flex sdks you want to install it in.

If you are installing on a Mac you will want to look at this post

Answer 2

For Windows

Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2\sdks\4.0.0

And duplicate the 4.0.0 folder and rename the new copy to AIR 2.0

Download the AIR 2 beta. Drop it in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2\sdks\AIR 2.0

Within FB4 go to Window>Preferences>Flash Builder>Installed Flex SDKs

Click Add and navigate to the new folder you added.

It will ask you to give the new SDK a name (name it something like AIR 2)

Now create a new Flex project and choose AIR 2 (or whatever name you gave it) from the SDK drop down list.
