[osflash] Q:Converting Flex based actionscript for compiling in the IDE

[Keith Peters]

Yes, there are some differences between the Flash IDE compiler and  
mxmlc, even for straight ActionScript projects. One of them is that  
mxmlc handles the metadata tags like embed and swf. The Flash IDE  
compiler ignores these. In order to embed things using the Flash IDE,  
you need to put them in the library and export them for AS, setting  
the class name in that dialog.

The SWF options are of course also handled in the IDE by setting the  
stage size, background color and frame rate directly in the IDE.

I think it's unfortunate that we have in effect, two different  
compilers. But that's the way it is.
