How to setup AS2 workflow?
October 17, 2008 3:30 AM   Subscribe

Is there an ActionScript 2 SDK or workflow I can leverage? Or can AS2 only be developed thru the Adobe GUI Tools?

I am quite good with ActionScript 3. I have my process set up and fully automated so I can do AS3 work in a text editor and have scripts that use the Flex 3 SDK to compile, run tests and deploy.

Can I make similar automation for AS2 projects? I just started looking into AS2 and it seems my only choice is a GUI tool like Flash Professional CS3/CS4 ($$$).

Eclipse with FTD is the way to go. I recently coded a 30,000-like-long AS2 app in FTD, and it cut my devel time in half. You can hook it up with a command-line compiler. In my opinion, FTD is the best option for both AS2 and AS3.

The downside: it's not free. But for me, it paid for itself in one week.
