Hi
Execellent!
Yes upon doing a fresh install I also found that it was necessary to use the
cpp lexer for flash. However,the style.flash.* definitions seemed to work
already without changig them to style.cpp.*... I also posted the following the
scite-instreset mailing list:
-------------------------
I want to edit flash/actionscript in Linux (Ubuntu 6.06). The scite
installation in the package manager is 1.67. I have used the discontinued
Scite|Flash distribution for windows and would like to incorporate some of its
features into the linux version. Sorry for the long mail, but I've been
struggling with this for a couple of days so I'll explain my problems in detail.
The first thing I'm unsure about is the extent of built in flash support in the
Linux version. Falsh(actionscript) is listed as a supported language for scite.
When I open a .as file I get correct syntax highlighting and code folding, but
there is no properties file and no language selection option (even amongst the
commented ones in the global properties file). I would like to edit the compile
and build commands to use a makefile, but since there is no properties file, I
don't know how to proceed.
I have copied the flash.properties, flash.api, API.flashcommClient,
API.flashcommServer files from the scite|flash windows distribution into my
/usr/share/scite directory where all the other properties files are located.
After adding 'import flash' to the sciteglobal.properties all code highlighting
disappears.
I assume this is because of the command
lexer.$(file.patterns.flash)=flash
in flash.properties and that there is no lexer named flash outside of
scite|flash. If I change this to
lexer.$(file.patterns.flash)=cpp
, I get the correct syntax highlighting in the style specified by
flash.properties. I can also edit the compile options in flash.properties to my
liking with the correct effect. I can also successfully add flash to the
language selection menu.
However, code I cant get auto completion and call tips working properly. If I
add "autocompleteword.automatic=1" to my sciteuser.properties I get auto
completion on keywords and functions the second time I use them in a file. Is
this normal? Also call tips are not functioning at all, in spite of the
inclusion of flash.api and the following lines in flash.properties
#######################
# Load the Flash API
#######################
api.$(file.patterns.flash)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\flash.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\API.custom;API.flashcommClient;API.flashcommServer;
autocomplete.flash.ignorecase=1
The only reference to call tips in sciteglobal.properties is
#calltip.back=#FFF0FE which doesn't activate call tips if I uncomment it.
To summerise:
1) Is there a different lexer i should use instead of cpp (a built in flash
lexer)?
2) Is there a way to get the auto completion to give all the options listed
in the flash.properties file without having used them in the file being edited?
3)How do I get call tips working?

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!
