actionscript 3 syntax highlighting for jEdit
Still happily living on jEdit for most of my scripting. I haven’t found an actionscript 3 edit mode, so I’ve made one. It is based on the original actionscript.xml and the Flash CS3 AsColorSyntax_3.xml file so it should have everything you can see colored on the IDE.
This edit mode doesn’t have any as2 specific keywords, so if you have to work on as2 don’t delete the original. Otherwise, you can just replace your original actionscript.xml file (you’ll find it problably in “c:\program files\jEdit\modes” if you’re on win xp) with this one. Make a backup of the original, just in case.

Thanks!
I love using jEdit and was wondering when someone was gonna release an AS3 mode.

[…] Out of the box, jEdit comes with full syntax-highlighting support for ActionScript 2. That’s nice, but it’s not enough. Fortunately, we can thank Jesus Gollonet for creating an ActionScript 3 edit mode for jEdit just last month. Download the file from his site, and save it in your ~/.jedit/modes folder (If you don’t know what that means, read on to discover just where to find this file). […]

Thanks for the great work on this! I’m just starting to use jEdit for ActionScript (and documenting the process on my own site), and this piece goes a long way toward getting me hooked. Please keep sharing any other secrets you might have for getting the most out of jEdit, too.

hey thanks for the compliments.
as for jedit actionscript tricks, I’m already taking note of your Test Movie tutorial (I was badly missing that). I’m going back to as again, so I’ll post here whatever I do.
best!
