Michael, I had problems getting the ActionScript project code into the AIR application.
The original Document Class from OriginalProgram.AS would not run because it was no longer automatically on the display list and so its stage variable was null. I emptied the code from the constructor into a new function called main, added an instance to the stage, see below, and completed the construction via main(). It could then proceed since stage was no longer null. My background colour has changed and the aligment isn't working but it looks very promising. Thanks again.
