ActionScript 3.0 support in BBEdit 8.5
Friday, 08 September 2006I’ve just been playing around with BBEdit 8.5 (the big brother to TextWrangler) which has just been released and have found that it supports ActionScript 3.0 for syntax highlighting, code collapse and function/method lookup. This is a nice surprise that I didn’t see on the official changelog.
If you’re coding ActionScript 3.0 on a Mac and you find XCode a little too heavy-weight, give BBEdit a try. It’s a little expensive for a text editor at $129 USD (£66-ish) but it should be powerful enough to handle all your code editing needs.
