   I've made the big mistake of trying to get comfy with two new technologies at once. I'm getting used to creating projects in IntelliJ and also want to play around with Starling framework.

   I've had a hard time getting my project to even compile the most basic stuff, possibly because I am trying to use the AIR 3.2 capabilities for mobile? Even though I've linked all the swcs I can find (playerglobal.swc, etc), I keep getting something like "flash.display.Sprite not found"..

   Has anyone successfully used IntelliJ 11.1, Flex 4.6, AIR 3.2 and Starling to set up a project and get anything compiled? If so, do you remember the steps you took to set up your project? How do you overlay AIR 3.2 into Flexd 4.6 for use with Starling?

   thanks,
   B

   PS Starling rocks! It brings Flash back into focus with a clean modern API. I especially support getting rid of all the redundant and confusing baggage that's been carried along for so long, with the legacy Flash displayList. Good riddance.

   You might find the link in Step 2 on this page useful
   http://gaming.adobe.com/getstarted/ it contains a combined version of Flex SDK 4.6.0.23201/AIR 3.2.2070 SDK

   Just tried using the combined SDK and that was the magic ingredient. I had tried to combine them by just dumping AIR 3.2 over the existing files but I guess that's not enough.

   I got both example projects from that Adobe page compiling inside IntelliJ (Waste Invaders and the StarlingNape) and running on the mobile emulator. When i have more time I will make an actual mobile build and see what happens.

   Thanks again for the pointer.

   Cool, good to hear. The merging techniques should work too, at least they have for me on OS X Lion. This topic has a couple of blog posts that describe some different techniques.

   (though I notice the latest AIR 3.3 beta SDK is only being provided as a .dmg this time and not a .tar.bz2 so that might change the replacement technique a bit.
