What is an AS file?
An AS file is a source code file written in ActionScript, a scripting language originally developed by Macromedia but now developed by Adobe Systems. It contains variables, functions, and references to other files. AS files are typically used for creating interactive Flash applications.
More Information
ActionScript files are often saved along with the Animate movie (.FLA file) that references the AS file. ActionScript files can be edited within Animate or with a basic text editor.
NOTE: Animate was formerly known as Flash, which was originally developed by Macromedia but then merged with Adobe in 2005. Flash became Animate in 2016.
