Hello, Flex community! A couple of months ago, I introduced a new extension for the Visual Studio Code text editor that adds language support for ActionScript. The extension includes tons of code intelligence features for ActionScript, like IntelliSense, find all references, goto definition, variable renaming, and more.
I didn't officially announce the project to the Apache Flex community right away because, at the time, the extension only supported ActionScript, and I hadn't started yet on MXML features. As we all know, MXML is pretty vital for Flex applications! Today, I'm happy to announce that the newest version of the NextGen ActionScript extension for Visual Studio Code includes all the same great features for MXML. You can install the extension right inside Visual Studio Code. Simply search for "NextGen ActionScript" in the Extensions view. For more information about the NextGenAS extension, visit the website: https://nextgenactionscript.com/vscode/ For instructions about how to create a new project, set up the compiler, and even debug Apache FlexJS apps in a web browser, visit the Github wiki: https://github.com/BowlerHatLLC/vscode-nextgenas/wiki With the community's help, I can continue working on useful developer tools for ActionScript and MXML. Please join my Patreon campaign to lend a hand! https://www.patreon.com/josht Thank you, and happy coding!

Today, I am simply posting as a member of the community who wants to share a cool, independent project that others might enjoy.
