I finally finished the FlashDevelop and decided to release it after few days of intensive testing. I did some modifications to the template stuff and included MTASC to FlashDevelop. Find and replace dialogs are now made by me because i was too impatient to wait the next release of Scintilla.NET component. I will keep improving the program in the future but i am quite satisfied to the outcome already. If you liked SciTE for AS 2.0, i think that you like this program even better. FlashDevelop requires the Microsoft.NET 1.1 Framework. You can download the latest FlashDevelop here. Read more about FD....

While a was waiting the Scintilla.NET component advance to the next version, i did my own version from the GUI to MTASC compiler. You can also save project files with it. When you compile a project, it writes a bat file and launches it. You can also copy the bat file to your project directory and use it to compile the project. Just unzip the files to your MTASC directory. The are also a small sample project with it. MTASC GUI requires the Microsoft.NET 1.1 Framework to run. You can download it from here. Enjoy!...
