Last week, Adobe announced Flash Player Premium Features for Gaming and the news was received with mixed reviews by the community. This mixed reaction concerns us because a healthy Flash ecosystem is very important to the FDT team. We would like to state how we feel about this announcement with the hope that our opinion [...]
Recently, Betas for Air 3.0 and Flash Player 11 have been released and they have some great features. To get started using them, you’ll need to do a little bit of setup on your own. This is because they are currently being distributed separately from each other and from the Flex SDK.
I’ve created a quick video that will walk you through setting everything up. Enjoy!
Thanks Tal!
Also check out FDT 5.5, which we’ve just released. It has a great deal of improvements and fixes – especially with the AIR workflow.
I have created a custom template for compiling AIR 3 using FDT for IOS which also syncs your app to your mobile if anyone wants to use it.. http://theboywhocriedwoolf.com/compiling-air-with-fdt-and-ant/
hope this helps..

Which version of FDT & Flex SDK are you using in your project?
yes i have the same issue as fintan… getting null pointer exception. i tried changing namespace to http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1
Hey Fintan,
The FDT5 mobile templates won’t work with 4.6 out of the box. You’re right about the XML namespace. What you can do is edit the template your self! The templates are kept in your FDT folder in your home directory.
On OSX this may be hidden by default. Here’s some info to fix that:

should the Flex 4.6 sdk work out of the box with the FDT5 mobile templates? I’ve tried it but the generated *-app.xml file points to the 2.6 namespace rather than 3.1 and I can get it to compile yet(java.lang.NullPointerException).
any help is appreciated
Fintan
