ActionScript for TextMate
October 9th, 2004This installer adds ActionScript syntax colouring and a Test Movie in Flash command to the awesome TextMate editor for Mac OS X. Test Movie in Flash works with .fla files added to your project (hit Cmd-Rtn with a .fla file selected), although at the moment TextMate displays binary files as text, which for a large file can be slow. Hopefully this issue will be dealt with in the upcoming 1.0.1.
The installer adds the bundle to /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/. If you prefer to do it manually (if you want to put it in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ for example), download the bundle.
Update: the latest version of the ActionScript bundle can be checked out from the MacroMates Subversion repository.

Any chance that someone will be able to develop PrimalScript-style Class Browsing and autocompletion for Textmate? What’s the plugin framework like?

There’s no plug-in framework per se, but you can add bundles, which are collections of syntax definition files, commands and snippets etc.
There’s no language-aware auto-completion as yet, but this is planned I believe: but you can hit escape and have TextMate auto-complete a word, providing that word already exists in your document.
Macros, commands and snippets mean that TextMate is *very* extendable and it’s by far the most productive environment I’ve used yet on the Mac. Check it out.

Does this installer work with the lastest release (1.1b13)?

No. Syntax handling was changed in TxMt after b5. There is a new version of the ActionScript bundle that works with b13, but you currently need to check this out of the Macromates Subversion repository: http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/ActionScript.tmbundle/

AS syntax colouring get lost with 1.1b13… if I installed 1.1b12 it was lost too! Your Link helped me! thanx! It’s the easyest to just Apple+K in the finder and then move de Bundle to the Bundle Folder… I tried with the Terminal an a FTP Program too, but dind’t work…
