SciTE for Actionscript on OS X?

Filed under: Flash — geoff @ 10:22 pm

If you are a Flash developer who recently made the switch to OS X like I have, you may be missing some of the great Open Source Flash development tools out there. I’ve always been partial to SciTE, specifically SciTE|Flash, because it is light, simple, and has some nice features. I recently found a port of SciTE for Mac OS X. It doesn’t have the Flash extras, but it does have basic Actionscript syntax highlighting. With a few tweaks, you can make it work just like SciTE|Flash.

Please Don’t Kill Fireworks!

Filed under: General, Flash — geoff @ 1:34 am

I’m reading in a lot of places that, as a result of the Adobe/Macromedia merger, a few applications might be shelved permanently. There are rumors floating around that one of these apps might be Fireworks. I very much hope that is not the case. I use Fireworks almost exclusively for web design. Fireworks was built from the ground up as a web design tool. It is to web design what Autocad is to architects. It’s vector-based features and nesting symbols make it perfect for designing an entire site’s GUI.
