Last week I tried to convert a small flex 2 application to air. It went pretty smooth with some minor exceptions that were fixed fast. So if you have a flex 2 app and did not do anything fancy in it then it all should work fine.
Keep in mind that flex 3 has some modifications in the framework than flex 2.
These are the steps I took to convert the app.
1) Create a new empty AIR application
2) copy old app files into the src dir of the new AIR app.
3) build.
4) installed FlexSpy to fix the small visual errors
5) fixed all visual stuff
6) removed FlexSpy
7) exported the app
used the AIR badge to create an “installer” for the AIR app.
As you can see I had no problems with the logic or stuff functioning wrong (but I can not say that will not happen - it depends with each project.)
