Nice, I just got textmate and really appreciate these answers because I was
about to ask the same question!

Subject: Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Good External Actionscript Editor for Mac?

there are a few ways to do it.  you won't get the 'intellisense'
autocompletion like how it is in the flash IDE (with the dropdown that
pops up), but you can:

1. Hit the escape key when you are typing.  This automcpletes the word
based  on mathes it finds in the document, based on distance from the
cursor: http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/working_with_text#completion

2. use tab triggers to insert snippets into your code.  a snippet is a
bit of text you want to insert into the document.  a tab trigger just
means that that you can assign a keystroke plus hit the tab key and
the snippet will be inserted.  For instance, I have it set up so i
type 'getset'->tab, and a private var with it's getter/setter methods
will appear.  The coolest hing about snippets is that you can tab
through them after the appear, so you can jump right to the spot where
you want to type just by hitting tab again, and use mirroring if you
need to type the same thing more than once in a snippet.
