FDT was just released as version 1.0 on August 22 and is now available for download and a 30 trial. The Eclipse plug-in allows hardcore coders to jump into Flash via ActionScript 2’s object oriented design. The plug-in features live error highlighting, advanced code completion and a great JavaDoc style pop-up plus a lot more. The code completion tool works similar to the code hints in the Flash IDE but pops up possible ActionScript as you type more like the code hints in Dreamweaver’s source view. The JavaDoc feature allows a developer to quickly scan large groups of files and read all formal code comments (always comment with stars, /**…*/) while hovering over methods, types and variables throughout the code. I also like the Flash Explorer feature that allows a coder to view their project as a full overview where they can easily change classpaths or even run various organizational actions. If you currently use Eclipse or if you just use a regular external ActionScript editor feel free to test out this new plug-in.
