Create a new ActionScript project in Visual Studio Code
To create a new project using the ActionScript & MXML extension for Visual Studio Code, you must open a folder for your project and create a file named asconfig.json. This configuration file is used to set up your project's compiler options and Adobe AIR packaging options. Until you add the asconfig.json file to your project, code intelligence in .as and .mxml files will not be enabled.
