Question

thing is, I have to do some modifications at my work, but I never used Flashdevelop, only Flash Builder.

However, the project I need to modify was made with Flashdevelop, it comes with a .as3file, no fla file anywhere.

So, what do I need to do in order to use this project in Flash Builder?, just creating a new project and browsing the path file with the src .as files is enough?, or do I need to do something else?

Thx!

I do not expect you’d be able to reuse a FlashDevelop project within Flash Builder. However, there is no reason you can’t use the same ActionScript files that youw rote in FlashDevelop in a Flash Builder project. There are plenty of ways you may try to do this. I’d start by creating a Flash Builder project. Then you can:

1. Copy the code from your
   FlashDevelop project into your Flash
   Builder project’s source directory
2. Create a mapped source directory
   in Flash Builder that points to the
   source of your FlashDevelop project.
3. Encapsulate your common code into a
   Flash Builder Library Project and
   create a SWC which can then be used
   in the Flash Builder project and the
   FlashDevelop project. [Note: I
   assume FlashDevelop also provides a
   way to create SWCs].

I’ll also note that fla is the file format for Flash Professional; and is not supported by Flash Builder–so far as I know.
