Difficulty: Beginner

Platform: Flash

Further Reading: SDK Management

Until now, when developers wanted to merge an AIR & Flex SDK it had to be done by hand, often using the command line. With FDT5, developers can have this process automated for them.

note: Some users may experience problems launching their Air applications after merging. This is generally an issues with the permission settings of your system. The best thing to do is to recursively change all permissions for the SDK to read, write and execute.

To overlay an SDK, you'll first need to have the SDK properly added to FDT, for more info see the SDK Management tutorial for more info. Once you have your SDKs setup, navigate to the FDT's SDK preferences via FDT > Installed SDKs.
