flash, flex and vice versa
31 08 2007I have a small AS3 project where I need to keep the SWF quite small. I really want to use the Flex Builder environment to do the coding, and ultimately produce a target or targets suitable for inclusion both in Flash and/or Flex projects.
Two very helpful posts of the last couple of days with respect to setting up a suitable environment:
- Using Flex Builder for Flash CS3 Code Editing. With some useful comments. (Ted on Flex)
- How to use Flash CS3′S V3 components in Flex Builder (Moock blog)
I also suggest using FlashDevelop for AS2/AS3 code editing on a Windows PC. It’s almost as good as Flex Builder’s code editor, but free! I’ve been testing Flex 3 with this and it seems to work fine.
