ActionScript code is frequently written directly in the Flash authoring environment, which offers useful reference and powerful aids for syntax checking. In this case, the source code is saved along with the rest of the movie in a .fla file. It is also common for ActionScript code to be imported from external text files via #include statements. In this case, the external files are often given .as extensions, but this is not a universal convention.
