Alternative IDE’s for outputting Flash content
12.18.05 - I have been experimenting with some alternative IDE’s for compiling Flash content. One alternative that is definetly worth taking a look at is MTASC, which is a commandline compiler and also happens to be the first ActionScript 2.0 Open Source compiler. check it out at: http://www.mtasc.org . You can use it in Sepy for syntax checking and compiling. Sepy is extreamly useful and I was using it for awhile a few months ago and recently started using it again. Check it out at www.sephiroth.it.
A few of the developers at MTV got me interested in using FDT, which is an Eclipse plugin. Theres a slight learning curve but definetly worth taking a look at. http://fdt.powerflasher.com
