What to use .as3proj file in Flash Builder?

The fact is that I have to make some changes to my work, but I never used Flashdevelop, only Flash Builder.

However, the project I need to change was done using Flashdevelop, it comes with an .as3file file, without a fla file.

So what do I need to do to use this project in Flash Builder? just create a new project and view the file with src.as files enough ?, or do i need to do something else

thanks!

I do not expect you to be able to reuse the FlashDevelop project in Flash Builder. However, there is no reason why you cannot use the same ActionScript files that you use in FlashDevelop in a Flash Builder project. There are many ways you can try to do this. I would start by creating a Flash Builder project. Then you can:

  • Copy the code from your FlashDevelop project to Flash The source directory for the Builder project
  • Create a mapped source directory in Flash Builder that points to the source of your FlashDevelop project.
  • Encapsulate your common code in the Flash Builder Library Project and create a SWC that you can then use in the Flash Builder Project and FlashDevelop Project. [Note: I suppose FlashDevelop also provides a way to create SWC].

Also note that fla is a file format for Flash Professional; and not supported by Flash Builder - as far as I know.

All you have to do is create a new Flash builder project and delete your code in the src folder and take it from there.

This is the easiest option and what I will do. These are two different development environments, and you really do not want to import the code from the flashdevelop project folder: instead, duplicate this folder in a new location, and, as I said above, create a new project there.

And, of course, ask yourself if you need to work with two different programs. I have used Flashdevelop for many years, but now I use only Flashbuilder. Go with one and you will find things easier.
