Setup Flash/Flex Development Evironment Under Unix/Linux
By admin | September 22, 2008
In article Using Actionscript 3 to develop Adobe Flash Content On Linux, Ntt.cc have introduced how to develop flash on Linux step by step. As you know, flex could compile SWF by XML or JavaScript. It is free for SDK but charge for GUI. Someone has integrated the Flex SDK into the Emacs. Of course you could integrate it into your favorite Unix/Linux. Following is some very useful resource which could help you to realize it.

Using Actionscript 3 to develop Adobe Flash Content On Linux
- The API Docs – Can’t do much without these
- Adobe’s Getting Start Doc – Adobe does a great job of introducing Flex and making clear what it is and isn’t.
- Flex Compiler Shell – the very cool utility that turns the rather crude command line compiler into a rally useful tool. This now comes with Flex, you don’t need to download it separately.
- Bootstrapping an ActionScript Only App – Flex encourages you to program in both XML and ActionScript. I’d rather program in ActionScript only, which isn’t really a problem. Accept, getting an app to start with just ActionScript isn’t obvious. This link provides a nice recipe where you use a single .mxml file, and the rest of your code base is in ActionScript.
- emascript-mode.el – This is a nice Emacs mode for editing ActionScript. Combine this with auto-insert mode, and you’re good to go.
- Fast Flex compilation for Emacs – this mode is a life saver. It wraps up fcsh, and allows you to recompile your project files in just a second or two. It also updates Emacs so it jumps to the write line in the file when a compilation error occurs.
- Emacs and Flex in the wild – An actual programmer talks about using Emacs and Flex together
- Migrating from ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3 – This is a very useful document that will bring you up to speed on the latest and greatest ActionScript.
If you are using the Unix/Linux, why not begin at once.

A great way to set up an IDE without playing with eclipse:
spket then follow this guide to get flex up – reall simple
