Yes, there are some differences between the Flash IDE compiler and mxmlc, even for straight ActionScript projects. One of them is that mxmlc handles the metadata tags like embed and swf. The Flash IDE compiler ignores these. In order to embed things using the Flash IDE, you need to put them in the library and export them for AS, setting the class name in that dialog.

The SWF options are of course also handled in the IDE by setting the stage size, background color and frame rate directly in the IDE.

I think it's unfortunate that we have in effect, two different compilers. But that's the way it is.

I am not aware of any support for Flex Embed tags in Flash. Look in the "Help" panel in Flash.

Hi

I'm trying to convert some actionscript created to be compiled in Flex so that it compiles correctly in the IDE.

The problem I'm having are with the Embed tags....I'm not a Flex developer by any means.

For example

//CODE BEGIN

[Embed(source='/assets/assets.swf#cursor_main')] public var CMain: Class;

[SWF( backgroundColor='0x222222', frameRate='200', width='384', height='258')]

//CODE END


For the Embed tags do I simply include the referenced assets in the library of my main.fla with the correct linkages??
What about the SWF tag (in my Main.as)?

Thanks in advance
