Problem: I would like to enable code hinting and highlighting in either Flash Professional or Flash Builder when developing an Actionscript Communications File (.asc).

Steps Taken:

Searched Google with limited success, most signs all pointed to FMSGuru.com where one may obtain an Eclipse Plugin, but:
- It was created in 2007 (likely out dated)
- It has known bugs that haven't been addressed
Searched this forum / adobe's web site to find a solution, to no avail.

Have a good one. Happy Coding.

I think you should post on Flash Pro or Flash Builder Forums:

As it pertains only to those tools in authoring .asc files, I didn't think that either of those two forums would have been as useful considering this is where people talk about developing for FMS specifically. If I err'd, then I do apologize.

To note, Dreamweaver has the ability to provide code hinting if I remember correctly but I'm perpetually disappointed in the FMS team for not providing even ONE item that helps in the development of server side coding for FMS. They have never provided anything and it's been up to the good will of developers for the platform to put together tools. As it is now, you'll probably never see anything better as most people (that I know of) have moved away from FMS, partially for this reason despite multiple requests that Adobe do something. Not to insult the FMS team, as they do what they have to do to pull in the paycheck, and the bean counters provide that and seem to be making most of the decisions.

ok. rant all done now

Yup, that's the only one. It's old, it's a bit buggy but works for the most part.

(coming from the guy that created fmsguru.com)

Believe me, if there was another better one I would be pushing that out instead.

Thanks for the reply!

I hope I didn't come across as unappreciative as that wasn't my intention. I greatly appreciate the tutorials and all of your work.

Thank you, again.
