Well, no, not exactly. A .fla (flash project) file can consist of flash
graphics and .as files that get imported, but when you create the .swf,
all the Actionscript gets injects into the .swf.  

So I create a .fla, create my graphics and animations in it, and I have
a simple line of actionscript in it, like this:

import MyProjectClass
var pc:ProjectClass = new MyProjectClass(this)

Then from there on out, all the actionscript is external in .as class
files and when I compile (with Flash or with the Flex SDK/FlashDevelop)
all the code gets injected.  But at develop time, yes, I'm using two
apps = Flash for graphics/animation and FlashDevelop for coding.
