Missing "WindowedApplication"
My top-level mxml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:loc="location.*"
xmlns:ch="choices.*"
xmlns:step="script_step.*"
pageTitle="Gasper Heights"
height="600"
weight="800"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
...
</s:WindowedApplication>
When I go to compile it, I get the error message:
compile:
[mxmlc] Loading configuration file
C:\barry\bin\flex\sdks\4.6.0\frameworks\flex-config.xml
[mxmlc] C:\dn\inprogress\GHen\flex\GHen\src\GHen.mxml: Error: Unable to
locate specified base class 'spark.components.WindowedApplication' for
component class 'GHen'.
[mxmlc]
What's up with that? When I look in the API reference,
spark.components.WindowedApplication is there.
Do I need to change my build file to use amxmlc instead of mxmlc?
Perhaps more generally, is there a reason to use AIR and/or a reason _not_
to use AIR? If I have a .swf file on my disk and double-click it, the
Windows Shell opens it in my brower-of-choice, so I don't see exactly what
AIR is for. Or, contrariwise, any disadvantage to building the application
for AIR (at least for debugging).
Comments?

Looks like you are loading flex-config.xml. For an AIR app, you need to
use the air-config.xml. With mxmlc you can use the configname="air"
option.

AIR runtime allows you to build desktop apps (and mobile apps targetted
towards iOS, Android and Blackberry) If you want to have file system
access, SQLLite, etc. building an AIR app is the way to go.
Think of AIR as an extremely liberal wrapper around a swf file that allows
you to do a lot of things. Whereas a browser is a restrictive wrapper
around a swf file. Which one you chose depends on your needs.

in your ant build, as per Om's reply, replace references to
"flex-config.xml" with "air-config.xml"

Barry,
I am assuming you are learning Flex, from a C/C++ background.
As you may know, you can try FlashBuilder for free for 60 days, without buying it.
FB brings auto-completion, contextual help, and many other convenient features.
Maybe you should try it, until you get familiar with Flex, and when the licence expires, move to text editor / mxmlc / ant.

It's just a game. Text, still pics (at the moment -- might look for somebody to do animation for me), buttons. Nothing really complex.
