In response to a thread on the MTASC mailing list i've created a small eclipse plugin which will convert the flash help to eclipse help format.
If you download this : http://relivethefuture.com/code/org.asdt.helpgen_1.0.0.jar and put it in your eclipse plugins directory then you should get a new entry on the help menu 'Convert Flash Help' (you will have to restart eclipse if its running first) When you click this a dialog appears for you to find the folder where your flash help lives, im on XP and mine was here : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\HelpPanel\Help make sure you choose that 'Help' directory within the 'HelpPanel' directory, it should have subdirectories for the flash help content. When you hit ok it will generate a new plugin in your eclipse plugins folder called 'org.asdt.flashhelp' simply restart eclipse and you should have all your flash help in the table of contents. Note that it doesnt copy the actual html files into the plugin, the plugin is just a set of contents that refers to the original files. NOTE: apparently on OSX you have to change the permissions of the created plugin to 666 before it shows up in eclipse. Im looking into fixing this at the moment. thanks, Martin http://relivethefuture.com/choronzon _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
