Hi there,

I've contacted Ale who is the original creator of SciteFlash. He has
kindly accepted helping us figure out what's going on. Here's a quick
translation of his emails:

---------------------

First thing to do replace in flash.properties:

lexer.$(file.patterns.flash)=flash
lexer.$(file.patterns.flash2)=flash

with

lexer.$(file.patterns.flash)=cpp
lexer.$(file.patterns.flash2)=cpp

To use default C++ lexer.

Then, in flash.properties look for lines starting with style.flash.*.
Those are keywords for each lenguage lexer. Changing them to
style.cpp.* will bring highlights again [because we've changed to C++
lexer].
---------------------------

And that's it for now. For the time being this is what we have to
start looking at the problem. Nevertheless, I'll chase him up because
i'm really interested in bringing SciteFlash up to life again so we
have a decent lightweight IDE for Flash in Linux.

Cheers!

Juan
