Question

In order for Flash Builder to "see" the MapQuest Mobile Flash API .swc file, you have to add it to your build path. The Flash Builder documentation gives step-by-step instructions on how to do this. There is a section called "Use SWC files in your projects" about half way down the page.

As far as tutorials go, there is a good one here from Adobe that might be worth a look. It's a step-by-step tutorial that has to do with building a mobile Twitter application, but I think it's a good resource for getting started, and I intend to work through this tutorial as well when I have time.

MapQuest also has a sample project (.fxp) that you can download as well as an example iOS application built using the Mobile Flash API that you can get from the iTunes App Store.

Hope this helps!
