3. Window -> Open Perspective -> Other...
4. Select ActionScript2
5. Click OK
6. File -> New -> New ActionScript Project
7. Enter hello_world for the project name.
8. Keep default location, project layout settings, and SWF version.

10. Click Finish
11. On the left you should see the Navigator. If not, Window -> Show View -> Navigator.

14. Enter Application in the Name box
15. Enable checkbox public static main()
16. Click Finish
17. The Edit build element dialog will open. Leave everything alone, and click OK

24. Double click it to run.
25. A tiny version (scaled down) of your Flash file will show "Hello, World!".
26. In the bottom half of your output window should be a second set of tabbed windows. You may see Problems (compiler output), LuminicBox Log Viewer, and Tasks.
27. If you do not see LuminicBox Log Viewer, activate the view. Window -> Show View -> Other... Then: ASDT -> LuminicBox Log Viewer
28. There is debugging output from your Flash file. It should say: Application initialized: _level0

Congratulations! You have built your first Flash application.
