When I try to Publish to AIR file, [COLOR=#ff0000]Error Creating AIR file.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]The swf file specified as root content is missing. [/COLOR] error is shown. When I run the Publish Project from the Project Panel in Flash CS4, The same error as earlier is obtained my application has a TextArea control in the library added to stage via actionscript (2 textarea instances). 2 folders in applicationStorageDrectory with a database in one.The other folder will get populated with files at runtime only. Am I missing some thing? * * * **Sol:** I moved the .fla and a folder to another fresh directory and then it creates an AIR file successfully. Strange though.
