I agree Rich. It's a bit un-reliable. However, I've messed around with
my "doxyfiles" quite a lot now and it works great with most things
I've thrown at it.

I'm amazed how clients seem to be impressed with its output! I guess
their not used to us Flash developers being interested in
documentation ;0)

To be fair, AS2 is actually not really supported by Doxygen, it works
at the moment just cause AS2 is a "Java-like" language.

Doxygen is really cool I think and it's a really active open-source
project. I heard someone saying they're about to add support for
Flex/MXML documentation! That'd be sweet!

One of my own projects I've been researching (as time has permitted
me) is to "tap in" to the way the EMF (Eclipse Modelling Framework)
works in Eclipse with Java and "re-gig" it to work with As2/3. As you
guys know, with the EMF, you can either model your project by
"drawing" UML diagrams and it spits out code for you or you can create
classes/interfaces and it spits out models/graphs for ya.
Heck, you can even pass it the data as a set of XMI files and it will
transform them to models and vice versa - in a roundtrip fashion. Even
by following the tuts in the help files, I think the learning curve is
quite steep for most Flash developers.

My ultimate goal is to do this easily and effortlessly with As2/3
inside Eclipse and release it as open-source.

Cheers,

Johan
