@Steven
I’m in turn more thankful to you for sharing this framework, because I truly think it’s awesome with the limited amount of knowledge that I know about it.

Guess that’s the cool part of it: You don’t have to know all the features to get it to work, but if you have some specific needs, the framework already provides them.

Comment on Review: FDT Vs FlashDevelop by Steven Sacks

I’d like to see more information comparing FDT’s autocompletion to FlashDevelop’s. Considering how strong FlashDevelop’s autocomplete is (the best I’ve ever seen), I somehow doubt FDT’s could not be as good because it’s based in Eclipse which has limitations for autocompletion that FlasHDevelop does not.

The three primary reasons I use FlashDevelop are its autocompletion, project panel and contextual code generation, in that order.

Hey Lionel,

Could you please email me the list of warnings/errors that FDT says it finds in Gaia? I’m unaware of any of these and I like to make a very concerted effort to keep Gaia’s source absolutely strict and as compliant as possible.

Thanks!

Thanks again for presenting Gaia, Lionel. I’m glad you enjoy using it enough to get up in front of a room full of people and share it!

@Jensa
Yup it is able to implement the interface when you first create a new class. However, it ends there. If at a later point you wish to add another interface, there’s no shortcut (in my knowledge) that you can generate the interface functions.

Hi Lionel,
About this feature:

> implement interfaces

I know that FDT can create a new class from an interface and vice versa. I’ve seen it shown, but since I don’t use FDT myself, unfortunately I can’t tell you how to do it…

That’s very nice to know! It’s been pretty quiet for FlashDevelop for a couple of months and I know you guys must be cooking something pretty awesome!

Fair comparison, FDT has certainly a few inspiring niceties.

SWC Browsing: FD beta8 pre-release generates “code to peek” as well

Comment on Will ActionScript 4 Be Completely Different… Again? by Ryan Stewart

Hey Lionel, thanks for posting. No, ActionScript 4 won’t be drastically changing. We want a programming language that is well suited to complex web and client-side/desktop applications. We’re going to continue to work with ECMA and try to push the language as well.

I wouldn’t say ActionScript is any more proprietary than it was last week. It’s an extension of ECMAScript and still holds a lot of the core values.
