MXML and ActionScript in Visual Studio Code
Hello, Flex community!
A couple of months ago, I introduced a new extension for the Visual Studio
Code text editor that adds language support for ActionScript. The extension
includes tons of code intelligence features for ActionScript, like
IntelliSense, find all references, goto definition, variable renaming, and
more.
I didn't officially announce the project to the Apache Flex community right
away because, at the time, the extension only supported ActionScript, and I
hadn't started yet on MXML features. As we all know, MXML is pretty vital
for Flex applications!
Today, I'm happy to announce that the newest version of the NextGen
ActionScript extension for Visual Studio Code includes all the same great
features for MXML. You can install the extension right inside Visual Studio
Code. Simply search for "NextGen ActionScript" in the Extensions view.
For more information about the NextGenAS extension, visit the website:
https://nextgenactionscript.com/vscode/
For instructions about how to create a new project, set up the compiler,
and even debug Apache FlexJS apps in a web browser, visit the Github wiki:
https://github.com/BowlerHatLLC/vscode-nextgenas/wiki
With the community's help, I can continue working on useful developer tools
for ActionScript and MXML. Please join my Patreon campaign to lend a hand!

Thank you, and happy coding!
Josh Tynjala
NextGen ActionScript
Note: I am an Apache Flex committer and PMC member, but this VSCode
extension is not an Apache project. Today, I am simply posting as a member
of the community who wants to share a cool, independent project that others
might enjoy.

The FlexJS compiler does not yet support source maps for MXML (including
<fx:Script> elements), so breakpoints won't work.

Hi Josh,
Can I set breakpoint in <fx:Script> in mxml ? Cause I'm not able to do this.

For some reason, the compiler can't see your getClassFromAlias() method. If
getClassFromAlias() is in a package, double-check that you imported it in
the file where you're using it. You should also double-check that it (or
the SWC it's compiled into) is included in the source-path, library-path,
or external-library-path in your asconfig.json.

Re: MXML and ActionScript in Visual Studio Code

If you're using a recent nightly build of FlexJS, can you try changing the
nextgenas.flexjssdk setting to point at FlexJS 0.7.0 instead? You can still
compile your project with the FlexJS nightly build in your tasks.json, so
you can continue using the latest components and things. If you change the
nextgenas.frameworksdk setting to point at the nightly build, you'll get
the proper framework classes from the nightly build in IntelliSense too.
Your workspace's settings.json should look something like this:
{
"nextgenas.flexjssdk": "path/to/flexjs-0.7.0",
"nextgenas.frameworksdk": "path/to/flexjs-nightly"
}
Anyway, this was an issue where the NextGenAS extension was missing some
JARs on the classpath that weren't required by FlexJS 0.7.0. It is fixed on
Github, and version 0.3.0 of the NextGenAS extension will work properly
with FlexJS nightly builds again.
Both of you, let me know if that does the trick or not. If it doesn't work,
or if you weren't using a nightly build in the first place, I'll probably
ask you for a little more information.

Does that error happen after you've been using VSCode for a while, or is it
right away when you first open VSCode?

However, I can point out one thing that I can see is incorrect: true and
false should not be inside quotes.
You have "value": "true" and it should be "value": true

I'm pretty sure that this will work:
"define": [

"name": "COMPILE::JS",
"value": true
}
]
The supported compiler options are listed in the docs. Here's where you can
see how define should be specified:

You should see something in VSCode's Output view when you build with
Ctrl+Shift+B (or Cmd+Shift+B on macOS). Maybe not an error, but the
compiler output will never be completely empty.
Switching to mxmlc would require values in "args". It doesn't know anything
about the asconfig.json file. That's why you use asconfigc.

Hi Prashant,
Did you follow these instructions to build the project with tasks.json?
https://github.com/BowlerHatLLC/vscode-nextgenas/wiki/Create-tasks.json-to-compile-an-ActionScript-project
What does the compiler print to the console?
What does your asconfig.json file contain?
If it built successfully, you should see a bin directory in your project
with a js-debug directory inside (and maybe js-release, depending on your
compiler options). Are you saying that this directory did not appear? That
is empty? Something else?

Hi Hans,
Mixing Two IDEs with Maven build is not so bad. :) I'm doing it, but who
knows since Josh gives us support for mxml maybe I will drop Intellij.

Guess what: I did it ;-)
And I agree: first impression is of VS Code is very positive; kind of
motivation push to finally enter "fully heartedly" the JS world.
After first tests with the early versions of Typescript I was waiting
for things to settle, i.e. Typescript becoming a stable, fully
functional release; and for getting a better feeling about supporting
frameworks like Angular and/or React, ...
And I was about starting now, since imO things are pretty much settled now.
But what I've seen with VS Code (also supporting Typescript of course)
and NetGenAS promises to be a more natural and better fit for my
personal needs.
We'll see...
Thanks

You should try VSCode! Ever since I heard about VSCode (on this list) a
[code editor] dream has come true for me! It’s fast, open source, lots of
extensions, and fits like an F16 fits a pilot — you just become one with it.
And with Josh’s NextGenAS extension it will be even better. I’ve used
IntelliJ IDEA for years and I’m personally fed up with their lack of support
for everything AS3/Flex/FlexJS. They don’t even get basic things like
syntax coloring for AS3/Flex working reliably.
Josh OTOH is not only listening and responding, but he’s also in the
same boat with the rest of us — can’t get any better than that! :)

IntelliJ IDEA works great for projects that target the Flash runtimes, but
its debugger doesn't work with ActionScript transpiled to JavaScript. You
can only debug the generated JavaScript. Not even source maps help. The
generated JavaScript isn't all that different from the ActionScript, so
it's not terrible, but it's not ideal either. In VSCode, source maps are
fully supported, and you can use VSCode's integrated debugger with the
original ActionScript when running in Chrome, Firefox, and Node.js (those
are the ones I've personally tried, but other browsers may work too).
Debugging SWFs in VScode isn't possible yet, but that's the next big thing
on my TODO list. Once I get that up and running, I'm going to try
developing my Flash projects in VSCode full time and switch away from
IntelliJ IDEA.

Re: MXML and ActionScript in Visual Studio Code
Posted by Hans Nuecke <hn...@vservu.de>.
Hi Josh,
compliments to what you've already achieved. Looks promising and I'm
considering giving it a try, when I'll start porting an AS3 project to
Javascript.
The first project will be pure AS3, but I have another project in mind
that makes heavy use of Flex and would be a nice candidate to test FlexJS.
So far I considered Typescript and most probably React as framework for
the first project; perhaps together with Pixi (if I do not continue
using a JS library that actually does most of the display list related
things).
But something like continuing developing in AS3 and then "simply"
convert it to JS sounds too nice to be true.
But if I understood things about NextGenAS correctly, that could be
possible. No sure how to handle dozens of classes, but I'll find out.
Before I dive into all that, I have a short question you hopefully can
answer:
You focus on VS Code as IDE. I'm used to IntelliJ IDEA, and prefer using
that.
I know you're an IntelliJ user also and iIrc you even plan a video about
that topic.
So what is your recommended approach for me?
Thanks and regards
Hans

VSCode doesn't really have its own concept of project templates. I think
Microsoft recommends using something like Yeoman. http://yeoman.io/
That said, VSCode extensions can add commands to the Ctrl+Shift+P command
palette. For instance, the NextGenAS extension has a custom command to
generate a tasks.json file that runs asconfigc. I think it would be
possible for an extension to add a command that creates and populates a set
of files as a way to generate a new project. There are a few options for
displaying simple UI (pick from a list of options, choose a file, show an
alert bar with a few buttons), so the wizard could ask a few questions in
the process.

Re: MXML and ActionScript in Visual Studio Code

That would be perfect. Automatically adding imports is something I’m really missing in VS Code.
“Organize imports” is another item that would be really nice to have.
“Command 1” is something else I use in Flash Builder regularly. Generating getters and setters from variables is a great time saver. (Other quick fixes too)
I’m really pumped up about your extension. Good tooling for FlexJS is really important IMO, and tooling built around a modern editor with features like multi-selection, etc. is great.
What would be involved in having templates for different project types? Is that something that’s do-able in VS Code?

Re: MXML and ActionScript in Visual Studio Code

Yeah, the "code actions" are pretty cool as a way to provide automated
fixes for errors and warnings. I hope to find more places to add those. As
for imports, the newest language server protocol will finally allow me to
add imports automatically when IntelliSense completes a type name, so I'm
looking forward to upgrading the library and implementing that feature.

I tried to comment on your Patreon post, but Patreon is not letting me login in for some reason.
It looks really good! Big improvement!
