FlashDevelop will give you almost all of what FDT does. I recently started using FDT because I'm using Flex Builder 2 a lot and thought it would be nice to just use Eclipse all the time. But there is a lot about FlashDevelop that I miss actually. I may wind up going back to it. I can't say that the difference between the two is worth $200 if you are just doing AS. Of course, Java developers will have you believe that if you aren't using Eclipse, you are not serious about development. ;) And of course, if you are doing Java development along with your Flash dev, it would be nice to have the same editor. Did you try the trial of FDT? That will let you see if what you are missing is worth it. Keith
