This recipe is for Flex 1.5.
There is no way to combine the AS2 code generated in Flash 8 with the
AS3 code used in Flex 2.
The supported interaction for associating a Flash 8 asset with a
component is basically as follows:
1) Build an asset in Flash 8, with no code.
2) Convert it to a symbol.
3) Set its properties such that it is exported with a name, say "foo".
4) Export it in a SWF, say "assets.swf".
5) Create a new actionscript file, perhaps Foo.as:
// Foo.as
package
{
[Embed(source='assets.swf', symbol='foo')]
public class Foo extends mx.core.SkinSprite
{
}
]
6) Add your new component to the MXML:
<Foo />
There are some other ways to do this, but essentially you'll need to
keep all the code on the Flex 2 side, and only deal with the assets on
the Flash 8 side. This is a temporary and somewhat awkward period where
versions are a bit out of sync. Once the next version of Flash
Authoring is out and supporting AS3, you'll be able to mix-n-match more
easily.
