I'm working with Flex Builder 3 right now and I've run my head into a brick
wall. Here's the situation:

I'm creating a standalone application (runs in its own window, not in a web
page) and I want to run it on a computer that does not have Flex Builder 3
installed. Help files and web searches haven't directed me to the right
answer, so I was hoping that someone on this forum could help. Anyone know how
to create a .exe file or something else that can be run outside of Flex Builder?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Convert it to an AIR Application?

Thanks Rob,

This may be what I'm looking for, but I don't know enough about the
difference. I guess I should have pointed out that I'm a complete Flex Novice!

Anyway, with Flex Builder, I created an MXML Application. I went through all
my various options again in Flex Builder and found that under the project menu,
I could export a release build in what appears to be the format you mentioned.
I managed to create a .air file, but it is not a recognized file type on my
computer. I tried double clicking it and the built-in windows services
couldn't even find a possible way to run it. Am I missing some important step?

Thanks again.

Sure, you will have to download Adobe Air. from here:

http://get.adobe.com/air/

then it will allow you to 'Install' the program that was just created.

HTH
