I’ve just updated the ActionScript 3 Bundle to include an ASDoc language definition. This is essentially a scope change of Luke Daley’s JavaDoc language definition. The result is that the following scopes within the documentation blocks are brought under new colour jurisdictions.

keyword.other
entity.name.tag
punctuation.definition.tag

For me, using my favourite theme - Twilight - the extra colour where I was so used to seeing grey wasn’t working. To combat it, and get things greyscale again, I added 3 new theme elements and applied them to the following scopes:

comment.block.documentation keyword.other
comment.block.documentation entity.name.tag
comment.block.documentation punctuation.definition.tag

The results are the HelvectorLight.tmTheme which calms things down again.

As a Flash developer who’s been working with Flex and ActionScript 3 since late last year I really couldn’t bring myself to use the Flex Builder Eclipse plug-in. This down to my addiction to TextMate, in my opionion it simply out classes the competion. As a result I’m responsible for TextMate’s ActionScript 3 and Flex bundles.

At the moment the bundles are in the review section of the TextMate Repository. Once installed the bundle help covers how to set up (primarily to download the flex sdk) and outlines the non-obvious commands.

The main highlights of the bundles are:

Thanks to the following people who have all had a hand, although they may not know it, in the creation of the bundles:
