How to Trace Publishing errors in CS3

Question

Using Flash CS3 (updated 9.0.3, AIR 1.1) on a Mac (10.5.5)
and my AIR files that were publishing fine a month ago are now not
publishing at all (even though it's telling me the AIR file has
been created).
Found this on adobe.com:
quote:
* There’s no error checking. When packaging fails,
there’s no error dialog so it might appear as if the task
succeeded.
And also this:
quote:
Things to watch out for that might cause packaging to fail: *
Invalid characters in ID, file type name, file type extension
fields. * Space, double byte characters or high ASCII characters in
path or file name * Password does not match the selected digital
certificate. * Icon size does not match the specified size.
I've checked out these things, point by point, to no avail.
Anyone else encountering this issue?
Is there any way for me to find out where the problem is and
at what point packaging fails?
Thanks for reading this.

Thanks for your continued help. Once I gave the .air file
argument the full path then all of the other relative assets loaded
fine and compiled successfully. I can now package AIR files using
the "adt"!
I still can't publish the AIR files using Flash CS3, however.
It allows me to publish an unsigned certificate but when I try to
use the same certificate that I used successfully with the "adt" it
leaves me with a nonexistent .air file. I'm assuming it has to do
with the certificate, but this was all working fine a few weeks ago
so I'm at a loss.
I guess I'll have to wait for some sort of update with error
tracing within the Flash CS3 environment. In the meantime I can use
the "adt" command line method which seems to work fine, thanks to
all of your help.
Much appreciated.
