Oh, that's right, I had totally forgotten about MTASC - seems like eons since I've even thought about AS2 that I completely forgot about that.
Either way, anyone working in AS2 out of choice (not because the client is strictly demanding it) should really be working in AS3 instead. That's sounds harsh, but AS3 has been out for years now and it's far better, and I think, easier & more efficient to code with.

Incorrect. MTASC is used to compile AS2 outside of Flash, and comes with FlashDevelop. And, MTASC has a feature mxmlc doesn't in that it can do code injection into an existing swf, meaning you can take a .fla with lots of assets, publish it, and then just inject updated code inside of it without having to recompress all the assets again (especially fonts which can take a long time to code). _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
