Air variable not working

Question

Hello everyone! I just started playing with AIR today, and so
far it's really fun. I've run into a slight problem though, it
seems that every time I try to use any kind of air function, like
"air.NativeApplication.close()", I get an error message in the
terminal: "TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression
air.NativeApplication.close) is not object.
onclick at app:/application.html : 50" I have AIRAliases.js
included in the file, so I'm not exactly sure what's going wrong.
Any ideas?

There is no air.NativeApplication.close() method.
The closest thing is:
air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit()
The NativeApplication object is a bit unusual in that you
cannot create one -- it is created for you automatically. To get a
reference to the object that AIR created, you use a class (aka
static) property. To use a class property, you use the name of the
class, in this case, "NativeApplication," with the name of the
property, "nativeApplication." Hence, the seemingly redundant
construction:
air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication
