var USER_OPTION:Boolean

if a couple lines later i start typing USE it would popup a menu to finish it for me.

function btn_1_click_Hanlder(event):void
{
}

The IDE would auto add a script block if one didnt exist. It would add a id to the control if it was null or use the assigned id if present…
this would be very nice for consistent nameing..

i really would like to second the remarks of tink and ben.

absolutely needed…. as wel as some advanced refactoring posibilities and template support!

also some more advanced code completion/code generation would be awesome. the guys from flashdevelop are doing a great job in this regard:

looking forward to the first beta

It should be a simpler.

It takes 3-5 lines of code to pop up a window.

Also, flex library is big. One problem w/ java is that they would never deprecate things and it got larger, and larger and no one ever said no.
How can we remove some stuff from flex so it’s smaller.

If you don’t mind I’d like to sum them up in the following list:
- warnings when vars or functions are never used in the code (when you create a var and you decide not to use it but it is still in the declaration section it clutters up that space and might cause confusion later on)
- more suggestions like when you type: “public” it should suggest var/function
- getter/setter generation (when you make a var _time it should make a getter and setter ‘time’)
- Code templates (like: if, while, try/catch, singleton)
- It might happen that when you run a project, it never runs through a block of code you just wrote because the condition is never reached. Some editors color code green when the code was executed at runtime
- var/function highlighting, when you put your cursor on a var, the editor will highlight the code where it is used
- autoformatting of code

Ok, that’s my wish list at the moment :p It would be great if you could implement some of these features but I also understand I’m not the only one requesting new features :p. You can give me feedback at: bart dot claessens at boulevart dot be. I used to work with FDT for eclipse, you might get some inspiration of their project
