How can I really associate ActionScript .as file with Flash Builder in Windows 8?
In Windows 7 you go to Preferences - Flash Builder - File Associations, etc. But the File Associations option does not exist in the Windows 8 version: (See image)
Adobe made a web page that says that you must use Windows Explorer to associate .as files with FlashBuilder.exe, but this doesnt work:http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/unable-set-default-file-associ ations.html
FlashBuilder.exe does not support opening an .as file like that. Flash Builder attempts to launch a new process and requires another workspace to be able to open a file from Windows. So either Adobe needs to add Windows 8 file association support in Flash Builder, or there needs to be a setting that prevents Flash Builder from opening a second process instance.
