Do i need Adobe CS3 to open the *.FLA files in \\touchlib\AS3\src ?

I have installed FlashDevelop.  Can FD open these FLA files?
I have also installed FlexBuilder 3.  Can FB open FLA files as well?

Sorry for these silly questions....i’m a noob.

Thanks in advance.

.FLAs are Flash documents.  They contain visual assets, almost like a PSD or AI.  You can only open them in Flash.  Sorry man.

So does that mean that i can compile them into exe or swf in Adobe Flash?

Yes.  You can compile them in Flash.  If you target Flash Player 9, you will create an SWF.  If you target AIR, you can create an app that will work on any computer.

Hey Charleslo…

I develop applications in a free program called Flash Develop ... if you want to learn AS3/Flash without having CS3… read this tutorial here: http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/1689/

To be clear, you can make your own programs in Flex Compiler Shell (a free tool that will compile Actionscript into an SWF) without buying CS3.  But, if you want to edit the FLAs, you need Flash CS3.

You can also compile the applications in Flash Develop or Flex Builder 3. You’ll need to get the document class from the applications and set that as your main class in either Flash Develop or Flex.

Just wondering, how do i get the document class from the example *.FLA applications in touchlib?
