I have a flash project that consists of a .fla and a number of associated AS2 code files.
I'm new to Actionscript and Flash development in general but I'm trying to ramp up and setup a convenient development environment for working on this project.
I don't have full control to modify the basic project, I am just coming in and making adjustments/additions to the existing code and assets, mainly the code.
What is currently happening when I build the project using the Test Project button in FlashDevelop is that the project builds through Adobe Creative Suite Flash Professional 5.5 [CS5.5], it says Exporting Swf Movie while it builds, and then launches the swf file in a flash player window. Output is printed to the CS5.5 output window and my FlashDevelop debugger is not attached.
What I would like to happen is when I hit Test Movie (in the FlashDevelop debug configuration) the CS5.5 IDE will build the project but then when the Swf launches in the flash player, the FlashDevelop debugger will attach and I will get output and breakpoints in FlashDevelop.
Is something like this feasible? What steps would I need to take to configure CS5.5 and FlashDevelop this way if this isn't the default behaviour. If it should be the default behaviour, then what could be causing it to act as described above?
