How to open AS2PROJ file?

An often recurring problem with FlashDevelop Project Format is that AS2PROJ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AS2PROJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AS2PROJ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install FlashDevelop

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FlashDevelop is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FlashDevelop in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support AS2PROJ files.

Programs to open AS2PROJ file

Remember to download programs supporting AS2PROJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of FlashDevelop with AS2PROJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AS2PROJ file still does not use the FlashDevelop program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FlashDevelop application as the default for handling the AS2PROJ file.

Step 3. Update FlashDevelop to the latest version

If, however, after binding FlashDevelop with FlashDevelop Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the FlashDevelop.org website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AS2PROJ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The AS2PROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AS2PROJ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AS2PROJ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AS2PROJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AS2PROJ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AS2PROJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FlashDevelop, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AS2PROJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AS2PROJ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AS2PROJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AS2PROJ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
