FlashDevelop and Flex SDK

Posted by Sunny | Filed under Flex

It seems that FlashDevelop can compile AS3 projects and Flex (MXML) projects.

  1. Download Flex 3 SDK and Unzip the files to C:\Program Files\flex_sdk\
  2. Download install and run FlashDevelop
  3. Go to Tools -> Program Settings -> Plugins -> AS3Context -> Settings.
  4. Set “Flex2SDK Location” to “C:\Program Files\flex_sdk\”

To test do the following:

  1. Go to Project -> New Project
  2. Select “ActionScript 3 – Default Project”
  3. Set the Name as “Test” and select your Location and click OK
  4. Project -> Test Movie
  5. You should see a new blank tab named Test.swf
