Well, now that your campaign is over you'll be happy to know it delivered. You didn't get the 240 votes you wanted, but you got me working on it. Since you happened to time it right before the weekend, I already have it partially working. I'm hoping to have it within a week, depending on how busy I'll be otherwise.
Over the course of the four-day campaign, the Flash and Flex community emailed in about 80 votes and and I'm also happy to report that I just sent in a $200 donation on behalf of Ariaware this morning, bringing the donation amount to $310.
This is great news for the Flash and Flex community as it means that we are finally getting our own, open-source, easy-to-use and (sexy-as-hell to boot) documentation tool. And the community has already begun to embrace and even contribute to NaturalDocs. Daniel Aguilar has just released the second beta of his NaturalGUI front-end in .Net (NaturalGui_beta2.zip, 9kb) and it appears that Richard Leggert is going to be working on a Java-based front-end for it.
In order to provide both users and developers a place to talk, I've set up a NaturalDocs mailing list on FlashAnt.
You should also subscribe to the official NaturalDocs announcements mailing list run by Greg Valure, to get the latest news straight from the source.
Thank-you again to everyone who voted and donated towards the goal. Thanks to you, and Greg's hard work, we're getting full language support for ActionScript 2 in NaturalDocs!

Aral, try the same tactic towards Grant Skinner to finish GModeler2!!!
Can someone give me a link to the NaturalGUI site? I’d like to read up on it.
TIA,
Erick
Hi Erick,
there’s no special site for NaturalGUI. It is just a beta program, you can download the current version here: http://www.protozoo.com/stuff/NaturalGui_beta2.zip

in anticipation of “full” ND support, i’ve updated my “autodoc” JSFL script to now write NaturalDoc style comments instead of JavaDoc style comments.
so, if you’re one of those that still uses the internal Flash IDE (like me), you can select a frame of AS, run the JSFL command, and have your code fully comment-blocked (with params, return values, etc). all you need to do is fill in the “function description here” blanks.
you can also copy/paste class .AS files into a FLA frame and run the command and get the class header commented too!
it works great with the current “basic” AS NaturalDoc functionality.
i’ll blog about it later when i’m back at home and have a little time.
just figured i’d let you all know!
cheers

Greg, this is *very* cool. You made my Friday night
Ok, that just sounds weird, I know.
Hi everyone,
Well Aral, I think things are more clear now regarding FlashEurope. I haven’t had time to try going to their offices, but after reading your post I see it would have been useless.
Hope there’s a new chance soon.
Sad you are not coming to Barcelona
Well, regarding NaturalGui, I’ve just uploaded a new version with the rest of features.

I’ve sent a mail to the mailing list but thought it would be nice to post it here for non-suscribers.

Daniel

i imagine it will be a work in process, but not front-burner…

Hi g!
wow, cool script. It seems ActionScript’s getting a solid documenting system after all. Hey MM, look at this, it wasn’t so difficult, was it?
Congrats, guys!
Hi everyone,
just wanted to let you know I’ve just uploaded a new version of the .Net GUI and source code. Code it’s quite messy, so if someone wants to tidy it up… there it is.
