+This is a very simple, generic hello world application. You can learn a lot more by checking out some of our other resources below, or some of our [tutorial videos][5].
+
+1. Set the height and width of your application. Add the following tags to the Application tag (2nd line) : `width="640" height="480"`
+2. Add a new Layout tag within the Application tags. This will tell Flex how we plan on laying out our app. `<s:layout></s:layout>`
+3. Within the layout tags, add a BasicLayout tag. This will tell Flex we intend on telling it where to place our components. `<s:BasicLayout />`
+4. Between the Layout and Application tags, Add a Label tag. We will be setting the `text` `horizontalCenter` and `verticalCenter` properties. `<s:Label text="Hello World!" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" />`
+5. Find the Debug toolbar icon and click it. Your application should be launched in your default web browser and you should see the words Hello World! in the middle of the screen.
