I couldn't find a comparation on the web, so, what's the difference between the Flash Professional and the Flash Builder?

--update

I saw in a video that I can edit some code in the Flash Professional. And I just saw coding in Flash Builder. So, my understand is that Flash Professional does what Flash Builder does, but not the oposite. Is it right?

  • Flash Professional refers to the traditional Flash IDE that is a member of the Creative Suite family.

  • Flash Builder refers to the actionscript code editor built upon Eclipse (previously known as Flex Builder).
