I've run into some minor annoyances in publishing AIR applications from Flash CS3 that I really hope Adobe fixes with an update.

Annoyance #1: Not all files being published with the AIR file

hen you install the AIR update for Flash CS3 it adds 2 commands to the Commands (duh) menu: AIR - Application and Installer Settings, and AIR - Create AIR File. The first menu item has all the settings in addition to a publish button. The latter just pumps out the AIR file.

The problem I've found is that when I have added directories and files to the "Included files" area, they are only being included when I publish from the AIR - Application form and NOT from the AIR - Create AIR File command option.

Annoyance #2: Digital Signatures files are not application specific 

I have multiple AIR projects going and each has a different certificate to sign the application. Unfortunately, the certificate used for an application is not stored with the settings for that application. So, if I build application A with a development junk signature, and then immediate build application B with a Thawte digital signature, I must reconfigure that setting alone (and dig up my ridiculously secure password that I cannot remember). 

Annoyance #3: No option to publish AND create an AIR file all at once

I kept wondering why my AIR files weren't showing my most recent changes. Turns out, the commands mentioned above will only use the most recently published SWF to build the AIR file. Fine, I understand, whatever. But I'd at least like the option to tell Flash CS3 to build the SWF and then the AIR file all in one motion, or the option to use the latest build.
