I’d first like to quickly clarify that this isn’t about converting the actual Actionscript code from 2.0 to 3.0.

I just want to open a Flash Actionscript 2.0 document as a Flash Actionscript 3.0 document with all the layers etc. intact as they were in the original document, so I can then set about rewriting the code as 3.0

So far, I’ve tried creating a new Flash CS4 Actionscript 3.0 document, then doing Import/Open External Library/highlighting all the library items and dragging them onto the stage. But this has proven to be a little awkward.

I’m assuming/hoping there’s a much simpler way of doing this.

If anyone can help, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,  
Pete
