How to Compile an SWF in FlashDevelop
FlashDevelop is an open-source Integrated Development Environment (IDE) you use to write Flash applications, such as the free games available on many websites. Although you cannot use it directly to compile Flash applications, you can connect it automatically to the needed tools on your system to build SWF files. To do this, however, you will need the free Flex SDK from Adobe.
