Well i made an AIR application that opens up in AIR when i run though flash but when i go to the file it's published as a .swf file and not a .air file. I think anyway.

It always opens in flash player instead of AIR, why is this?

AIR is an installer file, its not an executable. The "executable" technically is the SWF file. AIR is a runtime for playing that SWF file as an application. The XML descriptor file defines how that application is run in AIR. To launch it as an AIR application (outside of testing), you have to package it as an AIR and then install it.
