AIR Application freezes on startup

Question

I've been working on a AIR project for some time and tried to
incorpoate some gestures and multitouch events into the project. When I tried to run the project, it
froze. So I created a new project that just has a simple textInput component and references a
TouchEvent, and it worked. I then copied my project to another location, stripped everything out of it, and
copy-and-pasted the working code into the shell that I created. Same problem. The application froze.
I verified that the properties were the same between the two projects, but still no success. The code
for the little test project is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
     creationComplete="initializeApp()"
     click="onClick(event)"
     width="100%" height="100%"  backgroundColor="#D5D2D2"
  title="Test Flash"
  >
  <fx:Script>
   <![CDATA[
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import flash.ui.Multitouch;
    public function initializeApp() : void
     maximize();
    public function onTouchTap(event : TouchEvent) : void {
     Alert.show("onTouchTap method","test");
    public function onClick(event : MouseEvent) : void {
     Alert.show("onClick method","test");    
   ]]>
  </fx:Script>
  <mx:TextInput id="upcTextInput" fontSize="14" x="10" y="10"
       visible="true" 
       click="onClick(event)"
       height="36" width="100" borderStyle="solid" />
</s:WindowedApplication>
If the method onTouchTap (which is not referenced any place) is removed, both projects run.
Any clue as to what is going on?

Just as an update, I had my friend try the same jarfile on his Mac Mini running 10.5.6 and it worked no problem. So it must be something to do with my setup. I am extremely unfamiliar with Java and programming so any technical talk needs to be in layman's terms. Thanks again.
