Packaging an AIR installation file using the AIR Developer Tool (ADT)

You create an AIR installation file for both your SWF-based and HTML-based AIR applications using the AIR Developer Tool (ADT).

ADT is a Java program that you can run from the command line or a build tool such as Ant. The SDK includes command-line scripts that execute the Java program for you.

If you are using Flash Builder to create your application, you can also use the Flash Builder Export wizard to build the AIR file package. See Developing AIR applications with Flash Builder.

If you are using Flash Professional CS5, use the File > Publish command to build the AIR package. For more information, see Publishing for Adobe AIR in Using Flash (CS5). If you are using Adobe Flash CS3 or CS4 Professional, use the Commands > Create AIR File command to build the AIR package. For more information, see Publishing for Adobe AIRin Using Flash (CS4).

If you are using the Adobe® AIR® Extension for Dreamweaver® to create your application, you can also use the Create AIR File command to build the AIR package. This command is in the AIR Application and Installer Settings dialog box.
