    <p>That is a lot of questions for one question. I'll try to somewhat cover the main topic of workflow.</p> <p>The approach you describe with a pure ActionScript project with swc:s linked in is probably the most common approach (at least when it comes to more complex projects) as you want to separate code from content as much as possible. Usually I work with one artist so we sync up on functional design and then I define how the scene objects should be structured (i.e. a container clip, with XYZ child clips, naming, linkage and everything) to make it fit in with current framework or new supporting code.</p> <p>You do not want any code in the flash pro timeline whatsoever, you want it all in your ActionScript files. Ideally as a programmer you shouldn't have to go into the flash scene project. However, in reality you probably will. I usually try to keep this to my own placeholder scene so I don't contaminate the production files with test and placeholders. You also really don't want several people editing in the same scene at once. One approach is to split up into several different scene projects. If you make a card game you could have something like this: card.swc, mainScene.swc, opponents.swc. That also allows for some concurrency if you are working with multiple artists.</p> <p>Keeping the flash pro files in xfl format makes it a bit more source control friendly and you could actually merge two versions of the same scene but it can be a bit complex at times. I usually solve this by making quick functional placeholder graphics that can later on is replaced by an artist (or render graphics from code).</p> <p>When it comes to IDE:s, I think the most popular ones are FlashDevelop, Flash Builder and IntelliJ IDEA (With Flash Builder as my personal favourite). Get started with one and try some of the others in due time. Make sure the functions you use all day long are really good. However, if you have only been working with the flash professional environment before anything will be a drastic improvement on productivity.</p> <p>I for one prioritize searching, refactoring and ease to follow the program flow, which simplifies debugging and getting into other peoples code quickly. But it all really comes down to finding a tool that runs on a frequency you can tune your mind into.</p> <p>I hope that answered some of your thoughts and questions. Do not hesitate to follow up with more of them.</p>

    1. COThank you, I know it was a long-winded question... your help is very much appreciated. I'm definitely leaning toward Flash Builder with the swc approach.

    2. CONo worries. Just found another IDE that seems worth a look. Free for open source projects and also has a free limited version. Looks awesome from what I've seen so far. Flash Builder has some quirks. Like not being able to resolve missing imports etc. Which this one does with flying colors. http://fdt.powerflasher.com/

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
