FlashDevelop is a .NET open source script editor designed mostly for Actionscript 2/3 development. FlashDevelop is very quick to setup and easy to use as an external editor for the Flash IDE or as a complete open source development environment.

Its main features include the following:

* AS3 Project management with seamless and optimized Flex SDK integration

* AS2 Project management with seamless SWFMILL and MTASC integration (using a portable standalone command line tool)

* Advanced Actionscript completion & exploration with automatic classpath detection (even without project)

swfmill is an xml2swf and swf2xml processor with import functionalities.

It’s most common use is the generation of asset libraries containing images (PNG and JPEG), fonts (TTF) or other SWF movies for use with MTASC- or haXe-compiled ActionScript, although swfmill can be used to produce both simple and complex SWF structures.

Its feature set includes the following:

built around an XSLT/EXSLT processor (libxslt)

input and output of the XSLT transformation can be either XML or binary SWF

XSLT commands for importing PNG, JPEG, TTF and SWF, and for mapping SWF ID numbers

built-in “simple dialect” to support library creation and building simple SWFs
