[TxMt] Re: AS3 bundle: change route to documentation from CS4 to CS5.5

Thanks for the heads up on this Dru. 

If the docs aren't bundled with the CS5 installer then there's little reason to go to any extra trouble getting them. The help command was only rigged to find them as a convenience. Sounds like it would be easier to grab the Flex SDK then build the docs manually using their included ant task.

Cheers,
Simon

I tend to simply open an HTML window with documentation in it, and just keep that around when working in TM for AS3, so this may or may not be applicable to the search functionality. I wrote up how I got to the HTML docs here: http://summitprojectsflashblog.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/get-offline-as3-documentation-in-cs5/

This was abstracted into a couple of regular expressions which you may need to specify again. Either way it would be good if you could supply any changes, via github or a patch to this list.
