In the last article on Community MX, we looked at how to use Flex Builder as the ActionScript 3 editor for a Flash-compiled project. But if you are using any Flash CS3 components, Flex Builder is unable to recognize those classes. In this article, we will take a look at how to get Flex Builder to recognize the Flash CS3 Component classes for editing ActionScript 3 files in Flash CS3 projects. How do we get Flex Builder’s code assist to recognize Flash CS3 Component classes?

If anyone has tried to use System.showSettings() and wondered why it wasn’t working, I noticed that in all three reference manuals — AS3 ref, Flex 2 Lang ref, Flex 3 Lang ref — the Camera class has contradictory information about which class the showSettings method belongs. Must have been a typo left over from the AS2 days, and accidentally got duplicated.
