FDT and ANT – part 1

Just started to work with FDT and wrote about my “troubles” (post#1 and post#2) with my transition from FlashDevelop. (have to be very carefull what I say: “they” are watching me: here and here ) And it seems to be a very natural (geeky) thing to learn about ANT. And where do you go to [...]

Missing in FDT after working with FlashDevelop

I love FlashDevelop but moved to FDT (read my other post about this subject)… Not an easy thing (the biggest problem is that it totally not intuitive ) to do and I’m missing some stuff that I had in FlashDevelop. CTRL+U to change the selected text to uppercase Update #1: I have found it: ToUpperCase [...]

Moving from FlashDevelop to FDT

Yes, its time, I need to… So how to make the transition from FlashDevelop to FDT as easy as possible? Let FDT react like FlashDevelop And I don’t even have to break a sweat: the amazing Steven Sacks (creator of Gaia) wrote an article about it: read here. The only two thing that I’m using [...]

My first AIR app: SWF2GIF-banner – part 1

Sometimes, and I’m not very fond of them, I need to make banners….. The animation part is not so bad, but making the different sizes…. that can be a drag. And after you made the SWF banners, you also need to make the animation in GIF. This is how I use to do it: make [...]

FlashDevelop 3.0.0 released

My favorite open source project ever, FlashDevelop has released: FlashDevelop 3.0.0 RTM (English, 4MB) . I started with coding in the Flash IDE, when I realized that there are better programs to code in I started working with SE|PY (ActionScript 2 only). I really loved that program, but it never made it to ActionScript 3 [...]

Notepad++ opens ActionScript file with Haskell syntax highlighting

Sometimes I open ActionScript files in another editor then FlashDevelop. And in my case this is Notepad++. Notepad++ has ActionScript syntax highlighting but it seems that it doesn’t detect it. When I open an AS file it uses the Haskell syntax highlighting, and that is very annoying especially when you open a couple of files [...]

TextMate AS3

I’ve been using a code-editor for years now. I started with SEPY and now I’m using FlashDevelop. Both on Windows. A colleague of mine still uses the Flash IDE (on a mac), so I decide to help him with his transition. Sadly there is no free editor for the OSX that handles AS2/AS3, but TextMate [...]

As we are now approaching the final release of FlashDevelop 3, this release is the last feature release. FlashDevelop.org – View topic – FlashDevelop 3.0.0 RC2 released. FlashDevelop is awesome! If you never used it, give [...]

Document Class in AS3

A while back a read this post about the AS3 Pills #1 – Document class and it reminded me to write something about the “Document Class”. The title of this post is a little misleading: there is no “Document Class” in Actionscript 2 but this is probably the way you are searching for this problem. [...]

Hello box2D – part 4

In my previous post I update the “Hello world” for box2D so that you can see something visual interesting. You can find the original here: AS3: Hello Box2D. Today I will post the same code but now how it should be. Keeping the coding conventions in mind and making it easier to reuse code. Still [...]
