SOLUTION: What’s going on is that the Adobe AIR Debug Launcher did not shut down properly when you clicked the X (close gadget) on the AIR movie you were testing. Or, if your AIR app didn’t even have window chrome with a close gadget, you couldn’t shut the process down.

On a Windows system, open the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and click on the Processes tab. Find adl.exe and shut it down. Now you’ll be able to test your AIR app again without closing and relaunching the entire Flash IDE!

SOLUTION Instead of using CTRL+ENTER to test the movie, use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to debug the movie. i was lucky enough to catch a small footnote in the AIR documentation that mentioned this bug. In case you missed it, there’s your solution.
