After installing the plug-in.

Open Flex Builder

Choose File -> New -> Apollo Project

Give it a name like MyApolloApp.

Open the main file (MyApolloApp.mxml), switch to design mode, add a few components.

You will have something like this:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<mx:ApolloApplication
xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” layout=”absolute”>
<mx:Label text=”Hello World, Apollo Rules !!” horizontalCenter=”0″ verticalCenter=”0″/>
</mx:ApolloApplication>

Now just hit the run button run.png, and you will see this:

That’s it! Congratulations and welcome to Apollo.

    Hello,

    It looks super easy to use Apollo with the Flex Builder 3 beta. How can I use the new AIR Beta 2 with Flex Builder 2? Thanks for the help.

    You need to get the Flex Builder 3 beta or the free AIR SDK to create applications that will run in the AIR beta. YOu can no longer use the Flex Builder 2 plugin.

    This tutorial was built for the Apollo alpha, Flex Builder 3 is slightly different and has the Apollo (AIR) support built in so you don’t need a plug-in. You can get Flex Builder 3 at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder3/

    Flex 2 is no longer supported for AIR, you will need the Flex Builder 3 beta or the AIR SDK to create AIR applications.
