[Flashcoders] Convert Flex to FLA

2010-03-10 Thread Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW)
Is there a way to convert a Flex 3 project to Flash? Tried decompiling the SWF 
with FlashDecompiler, but it decompiles it back into a Flex project.

I inherited a complex Flex project and have to deliver major edits to it in 2 
weeks ... things is, I've not worked in Flex before!

There is nothing to fear from Flex. It's just another AS3 coding
environment, and it's pretty easy to use. Your real challenge is to
learn a new code base and edit it in two weeks. The environment
shouldn't make that much difference.

It my not be possible to do it in Flash, also. If there are Flex
components, they probably won't work in Flash. Also, there are things
in Flex, like data grids, that don't port easily to Flash. Also, if
anything significant has been done in MXML, you're pretty much stuck
with Flex (which is a good thing, actually).

But, having said that, if you really want to work in Flash, and there
are no roadblocks, you can look at the Flex project, find the .as file
that is the starting point and make that your document class.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
