I was wondering which IDE choice you flash developer use to write the code....I use Flex Builder for my AS3 only project so the code below will display nicely with coloring keywords. I wanted to know if there are better choices there...Also, does flash developer do the AS3 programming only? Do they do graphic design at all?
Thanks for the reply...
I really suggest you to use FlashDevelop as your default IDE.
This program is a lot lighter than Flash Builder (which is built on Eclipse).
If FlashDevelop is properly set up (a lot more simple than it seems), you can develop Flash-based applications completely free!
A useful shortcut is available too in FlashDevelop to compile your project in Flash IDE. Simple as [CTRL ENTER].
About your question about being a Flash developer and doing only programming, the answer is simple.
It's up to you.
I am presently working as a Flash AS3 programmer for a video game developer… and I am quite good at graphic design!
As I am working on a big project, I do not design at all because artists are hired to do this job specifically. But in another hand, if you're working in a small studio or if you are a student/hobbyist, you have more chances to draw/code.
Programmers do not design because normally they are not good at it.
But it doesn't mean that you cannot do it.
And yeah, we are using FlashDevelop at work!
