Comments on: FDT 3.0 ActionScript Code Editor Nirvana http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/04/28/fdt-30-actionscript-code-editor-nirvana/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

The way it creates classes and methods based on the context by which I use them (before I write them) is really useful. It's a nice switch from FlexBuilder. For AIR, I haven't tested it, but here's a good link that also links to more info about doing it: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/2008/building-air-with-fdt/ To me, the only real attraction to FlexBuilder is the profiler. I'm thinking that I could keep FlexBuilder around just for that. But, for what it's worth, I've been doing AS for a while and seemed to have gotten by okay without a profiler. I suspect the price has something to do with the dang exchange rates. Oh, they do offer free licenses to those involved in bone fide open source projects.
