Stefan, I totally hear and understand you. I was really excited about MTASC and FLAMES a while back, but it seemed I spent more time tweaking the system than I did actual development on projects. Well, maybe not "more time", but the ratio was not good enough. I'm back to mostly using the Flash IDE as a compiler. But FlashDevelop has given me hope for MTASC. If they get the -mx param into the project build, it might work out well for me.
