I don't know actionscript. Is this the flash scripting langauge? But if you would send the one or the other example file it would be easy to get an impression how it looks like, how different it is from existing lexers and whether it makes sense at all.

Yes, the actionscript it's the scripting language of flash and flex it's the mxml language, code like xml to make GUI and user interface for flash.
this it's a hello world in AS3:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.text.TextField;
public class HelloWorld extends MovieClip {
public function HelloWorld() { var helloDisplay:TextField = new TextField(); helloDisplay.text = "Hello World"; addChild(helloDisplay); } } }
and this a mxml code (flex2)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="center"> <mx:Button id="myButton" label="Hello Bioinformatics World !" /> </mx:Application>
this codes can be compiles with flex SDK (what are free) and get a working .swf i want to help first to add the support to this languages and later, if you think it's ok, make a plugin to launch the compiler of the SDK from geany, then, we can have a IDE for AS/flex2, easy to use, and faster.
what do you think about this?
