I will dig into it more, I can honestly say i didn't do a lot of Flex Dev in textmate mainly pure AS stuff. I also will say I have jumped ship a bit have been working with IntelliJ for a while now, and cant really imagine going back. Regardless I will try to reproduce what your talking about see if i can offer any insight.

I realize this post isn’t too recent, but I am having the same problem as Gerry. Everything will compile and build fine until I try to embed any form of image. After that flex2.tools.Mxmlc will load and just hang there indefinitely. Does any one have any ideas why this might be happening or a direction to look in to solve this problem?

Great tutorial, in between the sniffles. I needed to set up my TextMate for AS3 development after installing a Flex trial so this video guide was perfect. I’m having a problem with embedding images though. The java just chugs along but nothing happens. I tried just embedding an image to use as a class and it never works. Any tips?

Thanks!

Hey mate, thanks for the tutorial. Just wondering, you were about to talk about how to add snippets but skipped that?

I wanted to add a snippet for addEventListener, any tips?

Cheers.

Hy.

First tanks for that amazing job!

Second, unfortunate I found a error in auto completion.

If I press control + i to auto complete a, for example, MovieClip var, I got the tip popup error: WARNING: completions incomplete. The class MovieClip was not found.

Can you help me?

Thanks for Brazil, and again, great job!

autocomplete work great! even with custom classes

I found one bug: when custom class returns sthng other than void, autocomplete doesnt work as it should.

one more thing that could be great is to color Custom classes.

any chance to make/fix this problems?

This video is great.

I had puzzled through setting up TextMate with the original AS3 bundle and Flex SDK a few months ago. I was working with the TextMate demo then. Recently I bought TextMate and am working with some elementary papervision stuff. I was interested to see if you would touch on external class paths in the vid. That was something I had to really hunt for in my initial setup. But your comment #2 @david made a good case for pulling those libraries all into the same folder structure. I’m trying to see if I can set up TM to allow both kinds of development.

I became interested in the idea of developing Flash apps for as cheap as possible earlier last year. I also couldn’t really get into Elcipse.

So, yeah, good job on the video and the bundle. I’ll be sure to link to this post if I use this setup for anything cool (or lame I guess too).

Thanks a lot for making this intro vid for switchers like me. I wish I saw it a week ago :)

A couple of things I miss from FD is the possibility to “jump to method definition”, getting the tool tips for methods from keyboard combo and for some reason I can’t get the method params predefined on constructors like new Bitmap(bitmapData:BitmapData) however works great on methods.

Cheers,
