I've got a build on my machine at home that 'works' with it, but I'm not willing to share at the moment because I broke a bunch of other things :)
I was able to correct the issue by blowing away all copies of AIR on my machine. It seems there was a beta from way back when that was causing the issue, even though I have the released 3.4 installed at the time. > > > > > Additionally, there was two points where Windows decided that the app was > > no longer responding, and asked me if I wanted to close it.
