hello list. As I've mentioned before on Allans blog, I'm developing a plugin which should ease developing Actionscript 2 with TextMate.
The plugin is a interface for Mtasc and has an integrated SocketServer which can display your trace commands. It also has it's own browser (based on the WebView of course), which can show which files are loaded by your flash movie.
You can see some screenshots here: http://nesium.com/blog/flashmate/
It works pretty solid right now (I use it for production on a daily basis) and I hope that I can release a beta version over the next week. So if you're interested in using it, please drop me a line. I would be pretty happy if someone could assist me in testing this thing!
cheers, Marc

Looks way way hip. Any plans on supporting AS3, Flex or AIR? thomas Aylott — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg — sixteenColors
I'll second that--I'm hoping my AS2 days are numbered, but I'm itching to get a streamlined environment for AS3/Flex sans Flex Builder....

Wow. That looks nice!
I'm working with AS3 / Flex all the time these days otherwise I'd be happy to help testing....

+1 for an AS3 request. I'm exclusively AS3 or I'd be all about it.
Just a question, since I know everyone else is going to want to know. What is the major obstacle to AS3 support? Is it a huge rewrite or something we can expect in the next maybe 3 / 6 / 12 months?

hi cliff (and all others). i did think of this issue when starting with flashmate. it should be not that hard (and i've already planned this) to get an as3 version up and running. i took a look at the possible mxmlc compiler flags, which seem to be a gazillion more than matasc has. so probably i have to get rid of the checkbox concept for the flags and get to something like xcode has, with a tableview. i have to mention, that i didn't take a brief look at as3 by now, so you guys may probably help me with the demands for flashmate as3.
aside from the problem with more compiler flags i need to parse the output from the compiler and needs some more items in the context menu i guess, since you need to choose a mxml file. that should be it. so hopefully the answer to your question is <= 3 :-)
first of all i need to get the as2 version out of the door and there is still some work to be done. then i would really like to have a filter for the trace output, essentially a ruleeditor something like in spotlight or for the email rules in mail. after that i am hopefully pleased with the plugin myself and can head for as3 support.
@ale: i will notify you as soon as i have suitable version for a public beta, which should be, as mentioned before, hopefully over the next week.
ah, some afterthought: i think a plugin could help resolving the fcsh issue, if there is no solution yet.
cheers, marc

ok, to do it right directly i've decided to change the mechanism for storing the compiler settings. i'm switching to a more xcode like interface ... http://nesium.com/blog/flashmate/xcodelikesettings.png
the good thing is, that this will speed up the support for as3 the downside is, that it will most likely delay the beta. but since there are more people wanting an as3 version, i things it's worth it.
cheers, marc
i forgot to mention that the table will be totally configurable via a plist file, so someone can add parameters himself, if he wants to :-)

Hallo Marc,
ich würde FlashMate liebend gerne ausprobieren, auch wenn ich nicht genau sagen kann, wie viel Zeit ich in den nächsten Wochen mit AS2- Development verbringen werde/kann.
Ich habe bisher Eclipse mit FDT genutzt, entdecke aber gerade TextMate wieder neu für mich und möchte es auch für AS einsetzten.
Gruß Tibor

hi all.
sorry for being so quiet for a long time. i had so much work on my day-to-day business (and still have) PLUS i made the decision not to release a beta without having as3 support at least prepared.
so the short story is: it will still take a few week before i'll release the beta.
the long story is:
you can try the as2 beta on your own risk so long and will lose your settings after upgrading to the new version. download it here: http://www.nesium.com/blog /flashmate/FlashMate.zip
the workflow is: 1. open up a textmate project or create one 2. right click on the main class of your flash application in textmates files drawer. choose FlashMate > Use " yourclass.as" as main class 3. FlashMate opens and shows the compiler settings panel 4. adjust your compiler settings in there (call main method, etc.) 5. either right-click on an existing swf file to choose it as the SWF target file or go to the export panel (the one with the folder icon) and select your SWF from the magnifier icon 6. repeat this step with the html where the swf will reside in (the term "template" is irritating in the contextmenu, i know) 7. adjust version and size in the movie panel (the screen icon) if needed and you're set 8. click compile
this sound perhaps a bit bulky, bit this procedure usually takes just a few seconds.
some news and plans for the new version: - i have a fileformat where you can specify parameters which are presented via controls in a table (see screenshot attached). this should make supporting as3 as easy as write that file (a plist) and a class which can take care of that parameters and hand them to the compiler. i hope that'll apply to AIR applications too (i was so brave to add a button for that already =)). - nothing is saved right now, which is kind of a tricky part, since i found no way to modify the textmate project file in the right time and have much more data than in the old version, where i simply saved the configuration with the shell vars of the tm project - after that i want to have different build configurations badly. say deployment and development, where development e.g. has no trace output or different paths - then putting all together (this will eat up some time!), testing, and releasing a beta - improving the trace message format - adding support for running script before and afterwards compiling (after puzzling them together via a gui?), such as copy, upload to ftp and so on. - improving trace speed (- taking a look at lexers to support a better code completion ;-P)
phew, i hope i can bear with that.
so thanks for your patience and your interest!
cheers, marc

Thank you for making this public available. I will give it a try the next days/weeks. Looking forward to the as3 beta though. If you need any help, let me know.
