Tell me a convenient IDE for working with as3

Question

ActionScript

Hello.
I suffer with as3 in adobe flash cs5 - this is some kind of horror, they would write more photoshops for themselves and not try to make ide for encoders.

Please tell me another ide so that you can compile and debug as3 so that the code can be split vertically (as in visual studio).

So that when debugging you can find out the contents of the variable using a tooltip, well, in general, so that there is a human-friendly environment. As close as possible to visual studio 2008 which I love and adore :)

Answer 1

I recommend trying FlashDevelop
, a fairly powerful open source IDE written in C#

Answer 2

IDEA also knows how to work with AS3. According to reviews, they say very well, some have switched from FD.

Answer 3

they would write more photoshops for themselves and not try to make ide for encoders.

In vain you are talking about Adobe, because Flash CS5 has never been positioned as a convenient platform for programming on AS3. It is positioned as a kind of combine for designers and animators, in which even before the pile you can edit the code.
Especially for full-fledged development, Adobe developed FlashBuilder based on Eclipse, which I use. He suits me in everything, a very convenient IDE. Moreover, you can create a project in Flash CS5 and work with graphics in it, and keep the same project open in FlashBuilder in parallel to work with code, although I personally do not advise this, for example.

Answer 4

Try FDT (http://fdt.powerflasher.com/). Very powerful IDE. There is a free version. But if you need exactly the similarity with Visual Studio, then look towards FlashDevelop (even the icons are the same there). But personally, in my experience, FDT is much more convenient and functional (especially the full version).

Answer 5

All I need is the ability to split the code into upper and lower parts with separate scrolls (the horizontal separator is like that, it seems like a split), a watch variables window where I put only the variables I need when debugging, and, if possible, highlighting paired brackets, and tooltips with variable values ​​during debugging.
I didn’t find a split in flash development, I didn’t even delve into it further.
I also found a plugin for visual studio sapphire - judging by the screenshots - it's interesting, but the price is 200+ American money - in principle, if you like the trial, I can buy it
