Anyone use the Eclipse IDE for development in ActionScript? It has an AS 2.0 plugin.

Nice - I'm gonna look into that ..
How are you finding it? How is the performance? Does it tie into the Flash IDE in any way?

The description is not that good. What is code folding?
What kind of color coding does it do that you couldn't do in the AS panel's preferences?

Eclipse can track down if you've used variables and if you type variables or functions that don't exist it will tell you. Things like that. It's much more powerful than the Flash IDE in terms of AS editting.

code folding is where you can group and collapse blocks of code to make it easier to develop.
say you have a really long function, simply group the entire thing and collapse it so you don't have to scroll down the page to work on the next function.
quite handy in large development situations...especially for php classes.
