Hi
I'm just starting using TextMate and at the same time starting to learn Flex/ActionScript 3. I've got a project that I was previously working on in FlexBuilder, and I have managed to get that to build and run through TextMate. I can open mxml files and make changes absolutely fine there, but if I go into a .as file and try to make any sort of alteration then TextMate hangs and I have to Force Quit.
Anyone seen this before, or have an idea?
Cheers L
I've not had that happen here, and as it's on any .as file it's odd. You could try changing the file extensions to .txt to see if the language grammar is to blame.
Which bundle are you using - have you checked out the ActionScript 3 and Flex bundles from the review branch? Or are you using the ActionScript bundle?
Cheers, Simon

Yeah, txt files do not cause a problem and mxml files are fine too. So far, it appears to only be as files.

I have both the AS3 and the Flex review bundles, and both are up to date.
Something that might be relevant: I have noticed that the colourization of the code inside the package {} declaration is not as you would expect. All the text is white, as if it has lost track of what file type it is working on. I have also seen similar in my mxml files, within CDATA blocks. The ]]> closing CDATA tag doesn't appear to be spotted, as the colourization seems to suggest that the CDATA block continues until the end of the the file.
I have had a brief look at the language parser in the bundle editor, but I can't see any obvious problems.

This would likely been a recursion happening in the grammar then, if you can pastie[1] the offending code should be able to tell what is causing it.

Incidentally, I couldn't use the Pastie action in TextMate for the "Hangs TextMate" link below, it...err...hung textmate again. ;)

I can't replicate the hang, but looking at the link you're not using the ActionScript 3 language - hence the missing package color. As there's no way for TextMate to know whether it should use AS3 or AS2 it picks the first in the list - AS2. There's two ways to change this, the language pop-up menu in the bottom of the edit window, or via ctrl- alt-shift-a.

Again, I'm not having problems here.
It's a long shot but have you downloaded and installed my ActionScript Utilities bundle? There's a language file in that I was using to test ideas with. I've recently deleted it but the changes may not be in the zip that's on my blog.
Cheers, Simon

It might have been a long shot, but it was right on the money. I deleted it and now everything is working as I would expect. Cheers!
