Convert Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 document to 3.0

[flashrocket]

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

Hi welcome to the forum.

Switching between AS2 and AS3 mode is set in the flash IDE.
So there is no need to open it as...
You can change the AS version by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F12
This will bring up the publish settings of your fla.

Hope it helps
