   Code into your main .as file

   //Add this to imports : 
   import com.appoxee.AppoxeeANE;
   ...
   
   //Add this to class : 
   private var _appoxeeANE:AppoxeeANE;
   
   //Add the class's constructor : 
   _appoxeeANE = new AppoxeeANE("YOUR_APPOXEE_APP_KEY","YOUR_APPOXEE_SECRET_KEY",handleIncomingPushMessage);
   ...
    
   //Add this method to get notified when push messages arrive to the device
   private function handleIncomingPushMessage(payload:String):void {
