Step 2. Create association of FlashDevelop with AS3PROJ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AS3PROJ file to open in the FlashDevelop application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AS3PROJ file with the FlashDevelop program.
Step 3. Update FlashDevelop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlashDevelop program with the FlashDevelop ActionScript 3 Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FlashDevelop.org website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AS3PROJ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The AS3PROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AS3PROJ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AS3PROJ file. Sometimes virus-infected AS3PROJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AS3PROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AS3PROJ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use FlashDevelop help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AS3PROJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AS3PROJ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AS3PROJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AS3PROJ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
