Starting AIR development - Update your software!

With Adobe working on so many things around the Flash platform and releasing new stuff at breakneck speed, its hard time updating your software with every release specially if you work on multiple machines.

Here are few updates which you should be installing to start developing AIR apps with Flash CS3.

1. Adobe Flash Player Update for Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2):
   This update includes a new Video Playback component supporting H.264. Most importantly this should update the debug and release versions of the Flash Player.
   
2. Adobe AIR update beta 3 for Flash CS3 Professional:
   This update will allow you to package and preview .air application files directly within Adobe Flash CS3 Professional
   
3. Flash player versions (debug included)

Note that you will need to install the Flash CS3 9.0.2 update to be able to install the latest AIR update.
