Hi

I was wondering how you guys go about creating a website in Flash. I try to do as much programming in my first frame, so everything is in one place, but you can imagine that this isn’t ideal if there is a lot of code.

I recently started using external .as files to make classes, which is pretty nice in ActionScript 2.0

I know it’s also possible to put code in an .as file (not as a class) and use the #include to use the code inside the .fla. So the code is ‘cut up’ in different parts. However, I don’t think this is a nice way of working since there is no real connection between the .fla and the .as. It’s just a part of the code that’s moved to an external file.

Are there other ways of programming for Flash?
