Om,
I happened to have spent the afternoon working on Apache Flex integration
with FlashBuilder for the next release of FB. So I don't know what your
particular issue is but I do know that you're going to have to combine the
SDK with the AIR Integration kit and playerglobal.swc if you want it to
work. You don't need environment variables.
What you have to do is unzip the Apache bin kit.
Get the AIR Integration kit and unzip it right on top of the Apache kit so
that the root directories line up. Ie the bin directory in the AIR kit
dumps its files in the flex bin directory, etc.
Get playerglobal.swc and put in it
{your-flex-home}/frameworks/libs/player/11.1/playerglobal.swc
Edit frameworks/flex-config.xml and replace {playerglobalHome} with
libs/player/{targetPlayerMajorVersion}.{targetPlayerMinorVersion}
Edit framework/airmobile-config.xml and air-config.x and remove all
instances of the {airHome} token. The correct path is
lib/air/whatever.swc
The FB team will be providing a script to do this.
