Q: 

What are the differences between the Flash Professional and the Flash Builder?

I couldn't find a comparation on the web, so, what's the difference between the Flash Professional and the Flash Builder?

--update

I saw in a video that I can edit some code in the Flash Professional. And I just saw coding in Flash Builder. So, my understand is that Flash Professional does what Flash Builder does, but not the oposite. Is it right?

+1  A: 

  • Flash Professional refers to the traditional Flash IDE that is a member of the Creative Suite family.

  • Flash Builder refers to the actionscript code editor built upon Eclipse (previously known as Flex Builder).

Flash Professional doesn't "do" what Flash Builder "does" (or vice versa)... however, there is some minor crossover in that they are both tools that enable designers/developers to compile swf's. Check out this link for a description of all the different technologies associated with the Flash Platform: http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/
