Chapter 5. Building an Application

There are several tools and technologies for testing and creating AIR applications. Depending on which technology you're using, AIR applications can be tested or compiled using the Flex Builder 3, Flash CS3, or Dreamweaver CS3 development environments.

Flex Builder 3 is used to build Flex-based AIR applications, Flash CS3 is used to build Flash-based applications, and Dreamweaver CS3 is used to build HTML-based applications.

All the different technologies can also be tested or compiled to AIR using the free AIR SDK.

This Chapter demonstrates how to test and debug AIR applications. Please refer to Chapter 6 for information on compiling AIR applications.
