CER files not working in Flash (iOS AIR app)

Question

I'm trying to test a flash project on my iPhone 5, but flash won't let it compile and opens the AIR pref pannel instead with the "certificates" field highlited.

I don't know why it would want that, but I searced for it on the apple developer website and found mine and downloaded it. But it's a CER file, and Flash wants a P12 file. I looked it up in the Adobe documentation (every bit of which sucks by-the-way) and it says I can convert with OpenSSL.

So I downloaded that from the OpenSSL website, but all I got was a bunch of seemingly random files. Fortunatly i'm good at digging through seemingly random files, so I did, and found 3 things: 1. It's not 64-bit compatible, 2. It's not Windows 8 compatible, and 3. It's not COMPILED! I'm pretty good at just about everything that involes computers, but if theres one thing I'm bad at it's COMPILING THINGS!

So this is my question(s):

1. Why doesn't Adobe Flash support CER files when that's all that Apple has for certificates?

2. Is there an online converter for CER to P12 files?

3. Why is OpenSSL not compiled?

4. Is there any other way to convert the files that works on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit?

5. Why is it so hard for anyone make a good Elecro song?

6. Would this work better on another platform?

7. What's up with Adobe's documentation?

Found an online converter!https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.htmlUnfortunatly, it needs a "PFX Password" and a "Private Key File".This is too much security. I don't even like security.I WOULD RATHER WALK AROUND WITH MY S.S.N. ON MY SHIRT!Also, I think Adobe is just trying to be anoying, because all I had to do to set up Xcode was type in my username and password, then click "add device to portal" in the device managment window.I've got it working now. Somehow all the sudden the .p12 option is avalible!And not just on the Hackintosh (in Keychain Access), also on the windows 8 machine (in Certificates Manager), and on my Mac (again, in Keychain Access)!I never did get OpenSSL working...Oh well, SSL is worse FTP anyway, and I don't like FTP.Now I have another question though, but i'll start a new thread for it.
