What should I do to use a .as3proj file in Flash Builder?

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!

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

That is the simplest option and what I would do. These are two different development environments and you don't really want to import the code from your flashdevelop project folder: instead duplicate that folder in a new location and as I just said above create a new project there.

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

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.
