Using fl.* classes in FlexBuilder- impossible?
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/80765
Link above is a thread from Ben Clinkinbeard with Adobe support from the Flex team members Alex Harui and Matt Chotin. (At link above, see bottom of page for all posts on the thread. The link above is not the start of the thread, but rather well into it.)
The thread details Ben’s mixed success using FlexBuilder to code an AS3 project that is also publishable via the Flash CS3 IDE. As of his post on the link above, he writes:
>> I have simply set up an Ant task that uses the FlashDriver.exe that
>> comes with PrimalScript to switch to the IDE and publish the active FLA.
