Update: I’ve found an easier way without FlashCommand
Once you got used to developing for Flash in Flex Builder, you hate to do any programming in Flash IDE. Still you sometimes might have to: Flex Builder won’t allow to publish into a FLA file. (There are of course many other reasons, like supporting older AS1/AS2 projects, we don’t go into that here.) Thanks to Eclipse’s ability to be customized, there are ways to make things at least a little easier. I give here a little overview of how I’ve set up my environment, based on several helpful resources I’ve found in the web.
- Install FlashCommand
- Install Ant
And for each project:
- Create/modify Ant file
- Create Actionscript project
- Set up project and FLA file
