I'm a developer in ActionScript and while I'm watching Haxe as a language to be used by me, since besides the resemblance ActionScript, still be possible to make applications with output to flash yet. However I have a question about building AIR packages. When I search about building AIR applications with Haxe, the search does not bring satisfactory results. I ask, after the codification and development of the code (in Haxe), how is it possible to transform what was built into an AIR package? Thank you!

It isn't a very popular topic it seems. Anyhow, as far as I remember my experience building it some years ago, what you need would be:
- If you need some air-specific APIs then you should write externs for them. There is this existing project, but it would need a bit of update as it was written for flash9, however, I believe it is doable in like 1 hour of work.
- Compile to flash.
- Write all the manifests you need for Air. (Sorry, don't remember what exactly it needs.)
- Use this guides to package(also test and sign) your apps.
Note: If you want to go the same way you did before, you could compile haxe to as3 and be happy. However, I wouldn't recommend this method due to loosing speed and probable implications which may arrive.
