To import Flash Builder projects, IntelliJ IDEA can use Flash Builder workspace and project directories, .project files, .fxp and .fxpl files, and .zip archives that contain ActionScript projects.

Each individual Flash Builder project imported into IntelliJ IDEA is represented by a Flash module.

By importing one or more Flash Builder projects, you can create a new IntelliJ IDEA project. To do that, you can use the New Project wizard or simply open the corresponding Flash Builder projects in IntelliJ IDEA.

You can also import Flash Builder projects into existing IntelliJ IDEA projects.

  1. On the main menu, choose File | New Project.
  2. On the first page of the New Project wizard, select Import project from external model and click Next.
  3. On the second page of the wizard, select Flash Builder and click Next.
