Using Dreamweaver to Edit ActionScript
September 7th, 2004
One not-so-great aspect of using Flash is how crowded your environment can be when using only one monitor (a dual-monitor setup is highly recommended). I find that my ActionScript window is constantly competing for valuable screen space with my timeline window.
Well Dreamweaver to the rescue. Go File > New > Basic Page > ActionScript to open an AS document. Reference it in your Flash doc by using the ‘#include’ directive (e.g. #include “my_as_doc.as”). Now you can Alt+Tab between Dreamweaver and Flash while you are developing your ActionScript and testing it in Flash. It’s a godsend.
