Create a new ActionScript project in Visual Studio Code that targets Node.js

1. Install the ActionScript & MXML extension for Visual Studio Code.

2. Create a new directory for your project, and open it in Visual Studio Code.

   To open a directory, select the File menu → Open... or click Open Folder button in the Explorer pane.

3. Set your workspace's SDK to Apache FlexJS.

4. Create a file named asconfig.json at the root of your project, and add the following content:

   {
   	"config": "node",
   	"compilerOptions": {
   	},
   	"files":
   	[
   		"src/Main.as"
   	]
   }

5. Create directory named src.

6. Inside src, create a file named Main.as, and add the following code:

   package
   {
   	public class Main
   	{
   		public function Main()
   		{
   			console.log( "Hello Node " + process.version );
   		}
   	}
   }
