Installing Air 3.7 has broken mx library

I am on mac, Flash Builder 4.6

I have downloaded the AIR 3.7 sdk.  made a copy of my flex sdk then placed the sdk tbz file in there
I then ran these two commands

cd /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/sdks/flex_sdk_4.6

tar jxvf AIRSDK_Compiler.tbz2

Now when I try to change the SDK in Flash builder, i get errors where basic mx classes can't be found, like Canvas and Button.  Those are imported in AS files and not used in MXML files.

Did I do something wrong in installing the SDK? I've been taking these steps since Air 3.  I even tried downloading the flex SDK to start with a clean copy and still the same errors.

Hi,

There are two versions of AIR 3.7 one that is compatable with Flex and Apache Flex the other is not. Make sure you download the correct one for Flex which is the smaller link under the big download page here:
