Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8: Code editors
The projects I'm working on are all done using editors other than the Flash IDE and I just open the IDE to build. As long as your code is in separate .AS files this would work fine. The way it's set up in my projects (done by the previous developer, so I may be missing some steps) is to have something like the following as the only code for the first frame: your.package.here.main(this); Then, just do all your code in .AS files, which can be edited in any application you'd like (I've found FlashDevelop to be really nice, but I also use Vim at times). There may be better ways, and I may be missing steps (like I said, this was set up by someone else. I'm still learning how all this Flash stuff works), but that should get you what you want. -Andy On 11/23/06, Richard Helgor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, First post, excuse me if it's too much of a noob question...

My question I guess is, is there a way to simply 'edit in external editor', in the same way you can with Dreamweaver (or at least, you could when I last used it), and then compile in the IDE. Anyone know of any newbie tutorials for setting this (or something like it) up, available online? Mark, what's your workflow? Thanks. Richard.

Hi, Just curious what you all use to write/edit your actionscripts/.as files. I thought this looked good: http://www.sephiroth.it/python/sepy.php Suggestions would be great. Many thanks.

Flash Develop http://www.flashdevelop.org/ Hands down the best Actionscript 2/3 (XML/HTML/JS/TXT) editor I've ever used. It's autocompletion and dynamic code hinting is second to none. -Steven ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Hi Steven, thanks for the quick response. :) Oh, nice, it will work with other langs too? I do not see php as a part of the above list... that would be nice, but it still sounds very good. Checking site now. :) For most of my other coding I use Dreamweaver Code view (been a long time since I touched the design view)... I like DW mainly for the auto-complete, code collapse, and FTP integration. But, for a while now, I have been looking for a stand-alone code-only editor... maybe Flash Develop will be the one?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8: Code editors
If you're looking for an IDE that can handle multiple languages, including server side languages, check out Eclipse and its various plugins: http://www.eclipse.org/ Then for AS editing, have a look at http://osflash.org/open_source_flash_projects#eclipse_and_plug-ins http://osflash.org/asdt Or for a non-open source eclipse AS plugin, try: http://fdt.powerflasher.com/flashsite/flash.htm PHP: http://www.phpeclipse.de/tiki-view_articles.php Coldfusion: http://www.cfeclipse.org/ XML: http://www.xmlbuddy.com/ There's plenty of plugins out there.. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Micky Hulse [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 4:45 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8: Code editors Steven Sacks | BLITZ wrote: Hands down the best Actionscript 2/3 (XML/HTML/JS/TXT) editor I've ever used.

Thanks for sharing. :) I am definitely looking for a good code editor. I regularly code in CSS/PHP/HTML/JS... and I am now just getting back into Flash coding (been a while -- spent some time away from Flash honing my skills at other langs/apps.) I just picked-up Foundation Actionscript Animation... so far so good. Going to try a few different AS/other editors... looks like there are many available. It will be nice to ditch DW for something more specific to hand coding. :) Thanks again, Cheers, Micky -- Wishlist: http://snipurl.com/vrs9 Switch: http://browsehappy.com/ BCC?: http://snipurl.com/w6f8 My: http://del.icio.us/mhulse ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
