I second Kerry's suggestion...Flashcoders is a good place if you are having a really weird issue, cause chances are someone else there has seen it too. Its also a great place to keep up with the most advanced stuff going on. Flashnewbie is a great resource as well, and there is generally some good discussion going on there.
Scite|Flash is a favorite among hardcore coders, along with a few others (easily found by searching flashcoders), but I tend to use Dreamweaver, since I have it and I can do HTML,JS,PHP,and AS all in the same place... But it has its issues as well, namely its slooow. Check out the "for( $iterator in $object )" style of looping. Just make sure your $iterator is the right kind of object, which you can check with typeOf(). It will loop through all the instances inside another instance. You can't go wrong with Moock's ASDGMX either: Loooots of great stuff in there that's saved hours, with a killer flash reference...IMO better than Macromedia's.

I'm an intermediate Flash user, and I find a lot of good info on the Newbie list. There's always been somebody who can answer my questions. > 2) What external script editor do you use for AS and Mac-OS X? BBEdit.

In my experience, though, that question would likely be ignored on FlashCoders.
