When you create a new FLA, there are several document types you can select from.
Each document type configures the publish settings, stage size, and frame rate to best suit the content you intend to create. Your choice of document will depend on whether you want to target the Flash Player and its APIs or take advantage of the additional capabilities of AIR.
This recipe will take you through the necessary steps to create a new FLA that targets AIR for iOS. We will use this FLA as the starting point for a simple app that we will create throughout the course of this and the next chapter.
