Uses of FlashBuilder and Flash Professional

[RichardFr]

Hi

Sorry for this true newbie question, but what are the differences between FlashBuilder and Flash Professional?

Thanks!

In a nutshell:

Flash is more of a generalized problemsolver, while FlashBuilder is a specialist,

meaning:

Flash can do anything what Flashbuilder can, but not vice versa (You have for example no drawing tools in FB).

But everything that FB can do, it does better than Flash (especially supporting you with coding).

Thanks for the answer!

I guess that I have to try both, then. I'll begin with Flash, I bought a book about it. Is there a good book for Flashbuilder?
