It's restricted.

Flash 8 produces flash player 8 swf's
Flex produces flash player 9 swf's

Both run in a separate VM (virtual machine) and can not communicate with 
eachother directly.
To have a fp8 swf and fp9 swf communicate, you have to go through a 
LocalConnection.

more info here:

These two get my vote:

Flex Builder 2
Edit Plus

You can grab the: ActionScript 3.0: Application Template (for Ant/ 
MXMLC)

here:
http://actionscriptcheatsheet.com/blog/quick-referencecheatsheet- 
for-actions

cript-20/

You can use the template with Ant, MXMLC and Editplus to author and  
compile
ActionScript 3.0 content without Flex Builder, Flash 9 Alpha or  
Flash CS3. I


do recommend Flex Builder 2 though for coding ActionScript 3.0.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: Best tool for AS3 development

2007-04-25 Thread Muzak
For that kind of work I still use the Flash IDE.
I create a Project that contains all the Classes + default fla for easy 
compiling (ctrl+alt+p).

I also have a script that generates class skeletons for ARP forms and other UI 
components + a Flash Panel that creates Library 
MovieClips and associates a class with it and writes the .as file to disk.

Here's a rather old demo of the Panel

I would probably create my timeline based material in Flash and then load 
the SWFs into my main application which I would author and manage in Flex 
Builder or Editplus...
