Looking for a Free Open Source IDE for Flash development

Question

I am looking for a free open source IDE for flash development.

I got an old project, built in flash, and I need to fix some bugs... I have the source code (some '.as' and '.fla' files) and no experience at all with this tecnology.

I can edit the action scripts but I not able to work on the FLA files... so, I am guessing I need an special editor for that, and I am not willing to pay for that Adobe Flash CS4 Professional just to fix a single bug in an old application.

I am lost here... thanks for any advise.

Answer 1

Download a trial version.

Answer 2

SWF is open source. FLA is not open source. So you will not find an open source FLA editor.

Download the trial or p2p it.

Answer 3

SEPY is an open source ActionScript Editor. It can compile .SWF files, but I'm not sure if you need to make adjustments to the .FLA files this will help you.

You could try this. But I'm pretty sure you need to use Flash to edit .fla files, at least that's what I've heard.

As was said before, trial version is probably what you need.
