And, by the way, just another dumb question:

Is there a way to put Eclipse Help working with Macromedia documentation, by pressing F1, for example?

Aral, thanks for your help (above)! I am new to the Flash open source world, and your work in this area is impressive!
I am using now (since yesterday :-) ) a FAME workflow and enjoying it!
It seems that everything is working fine (done some tutorials, and examples, without problems), except one little thing: it seems that the auto-completion feature in eclipse is not working, and i can’t find out why. I know this is a “dumb” question, but eclipse (and asdt… and everything else :P) is new for me, and i wasn’t able to activate this feature (i saw it working on flashout presentation video http://www.potapenko.com/flashout/presentation.html )… Can you give me a little help on this? :D

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the write up Aral :). To be honest I haven’t looked at Flasc or ALF yet. But I’ll give them a shot for sure – I think that Flasc is a fantastic idea and a good bridge to bring people into the OS Flash world. For me though I’m too tied to Eclipse (AMES). Most of my development involves some kind of backend (php or even xml) and the ability to be able to do everything in the one editor is a real time saver.

There some info on this in this email from the OSFlash mailing list.

The OSFlash list and the MTASC list (see http://osflash.org/mtasc) would be good places to ask as someone will likely have encountered the same issue or resolved it previously. (Searching through the archives, is, of course, invaluable!)

Hope this helps! :)

Well, i've read your article, and got curious about AFF. After downloading AFF, i've tried it with a project fully working with the Flash IDE compiler, but when i compile with AFF i get the following errors:

C:/Documents and Settings/joao/Local Settings/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/Configuration/Classes/mx/transitions/Tween.as:1: characters 494-515 : Warning unsupported #include
D:/webfuel/projects/onfashion_pt/fla/tools/md5.as:22: characters 0-6 : parse error Unexpected String

Sorry about my ignorance, but since i'm using Tween.as from Macromedia, why is MTASC throwing an error? ...
(this is the first time i'm using MTASC, and it's a completely new world for me :D)
