Visual Studio support
Hi Mark,
Notice you use Visual Studio, is there anything you can share about how to set up Flex SDK with it? Are there any manual steps you need to do in order to get the SDK working with that IDE?
Thanks,
Justin

Not atm I haven't used the Amythyst designer in a long while. I use the VS
express at home and it wont accept the third party plugins.

Mark,
Do you use amethyst design editor at all? I tried this back in Amethyst
version 1 and it didn't fair too well. I noted on their site that they are
version 2 how which is great. Any experience using the design editor?
Thanks,
Chris

BTW give FlashDevelop[1] a try if you want AS, AS2, MXML, Flex SDK, Air
SDK, Haxe support . It's open source (always good to support).
Quote from their main page...
----------------------------------------
FlashDevelop offers first class support for ActionScript (2 & 3) and Haxe
development. Great completion & code generation, projects compilation &
debugging, plenty of project templates, SWF/SWC exploration etc.
FlashDevelop is also a great web developer IDE with source-control support
(svn, git, mercurial), tasks/todo, snippets, XML/HTML completion and
zen-coding for HTML.

Well if you have the regular version of Visual studio's you can use plugins
like Amethyst [1], Tofino [2], or Code Drive [3]. Although I believe
Tofino stopped developement at Flex SDK 4.5. You can do things like roll
your own plugin for it and get it to work for express editions... But
don't host your custom plugins anywhere permanent. It's against
Microsoft's license for the express editions and they will send you
reminders.
There are extensions like TWaver [4] for some additional graphics /
integration.
I use VS web because of the C# .net, HTML, JS, CSS, XML, and SQL work I do
on my servers. Those are all supported well with the intellisense(code
completion)... and the SQL even has some direct integration to a
development SQL server.
Even without the plugins you can just add the file extension and assign the
editor type. This will add full formatting / color support, it just will
not have intellisense. Not perfect, but it keeps me from loading up
several IDE's at once.

Looks like this link has a pretty good rundown of how to hook it up [1]
Looks very sweet, I will probably try this out myself!
