I just checked in some updates to the ActionScript 3 Flickr library. The biggest change is that I checked in a Flex control that will provide a UI and handle all of the communication to authorize an application with Flickr.
There is no documentation on it, and as I have built it for projects I am using, there are probably some API gaps, but it seems to be pretty solid.

What are your biggest issues, bugs and annoyances with Adobe AIR? I am specifically looking for input on both developers bugs, and end user bugs. I am not looking for input on features you would like added (Ill do that in another post).
We already have a pretty good idea of the main issues (based on the forums, bug reports, blogs, testing and twitter), but your comments here will be another useful data point.
As usual, you can always submit the issues directly to the AIR team here.
So, post your biggest Adobe AIR annoyances, bugs and issues in the comments. Keep comments on topic.

Just a quick fyi, but we have just posted a technote with a list of error codes and their meaning from the ADT tool (inside the Adobe AIR SDK).
You can find the technote here.
