Also, you may note the forums have been discontinued, too. You wouldn't believe the amount of spam they could attract! Sigh...

Xcode 3. I've added MXML and ActionScript 3 support to it, including ActionScript blocks within MXML.

As explained in the forum post, I actually give big kudos to the folks at FDT for their "free to open source developers" program; the program is extremely generous, and I actually have a license for their top-notch, Eclipse-based app. Still, for anyone -- or any business -- that does not (or cannot) participate in outside projects, it's an expensive proposition: In today's global market, the app costs more than US$480 for the basic version, and $640 for the Professional edition. Plus (and this is just a personal opinion from someone who never liked VisualAge to begin with)... wouldn't it be nice to have an alternative to Eclipse-based editors? Granted, the editors available for Eclipse are plentiful and practical, but some of us just don't like the overhead. Part of the point of this contest is indeed to offer an alternative to Eclipse for Mac or Linux users.

I plan to post a call for additional sponsorship, and will definitely take you up on your generous offer. Thank you! Steve, thanks also for the jEdit info -- this could indeed help someone get started with an ActionScript plugin. Shane, that is awesome.

It comes with all the needed features, and is embedded in Eclipse. It´s not an open source project, but we give free licenses to all open source developers. Check out FDT 3.0.

If someone decides they want to integrate the code completion into Komodo, we'll be happy to give them direction. The Komodo 4.3 beta (released today) fixed the syntax checking for AS, though we use MTASC, which you must install yourself, and only supports AS 2. I'll also up the ante, a free license of Komodo IDE to the to top implementation for Komodo that you select, whether they are the "winner" or not.
