Find and replace Actionscript

Is there a way to "find and replace" specific Actionscript text in an entire flash project. When I use the Edit-Find and Replace window, it only changes the code that is active on the stage. Is there a way to have it apply to library items that are not on the stage?

I've never used flash builder before. Am I supposed to be able to export the FLA file into Flash Builder?

Flash Builder will only see code in your Actionscript files. If you have Actionscript files assigned as the "Base Class" of your symbols, then you can go into Flash Builder and create a new Flash Pro project and point it (carefully) to your fla. If you don't have your project set up that way, well you've learned the first reason why timeline code is considered to be less of a good practice than .as Classes. My Mom used to call that sort of thing her "education budget."
