ActionScript Program

Does anyone remember what the name of the program is that is like notepad, but highlights the aspects of flash ActionScript... (so u dont have to use MX to write AS) because I need it and can't remember the name... it was freeware

It is called SciTEFlash.

Very useful tool.

Ahmed posted this at kirupaForum a long while back. I don't use it often, but it comes in handy when dealing with a lot of code since it allows you to collapse your function code blocks so only the line that starts the function is visible. In the screenshot you see the + in the circle and next to it it says "MovieClip.prototype.......", this shows the declaration of the function, but it has it collapsed so the code isn't taking up space, you can then click the plus sign to expand it and check out the code. Very nifty feature.

It works pretty much like a more advanced external version of the Actions panel in Flash. And you can save the code as an .as file so that instead of copying and pasting it all into Flash you can use #include to import the actions into Flash upon publishing.

thanks , I remember it from my old computer.. but forgot to reinstall it...
This is an awesome program!!!

what is SciTEFlash for?

It is just an actionscript editor. So instead of writing/editing your actions and such in the Flash actions panel, you can write/edit them in SciTEFlash which supports more abilities like collapsable code blocks and such.

wow! cool, I should try and see!
