What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

FlashDevelop is an absolute necessity have for anybody creating Flash and Adobe AIR programming. Code consummation speed by a long shot is the quickest I've at any point found in any IDE for any language. Squeezing a key springs up the code finish board momentarily, and it has never demonstrated a debasement in act even in activities with many source records, some of which being a huge number of lines long at times. Also the debugger is a godsend.It is in like manner by far the best windows IDE for making with OpenFL and Haxe. It gets every single comparative favorable position of AS3 code understanding for the Haxe tongue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

FlashDevelop is for Windows just, and it's not cross-stage either, which I wish isn't the situation as I am for the most part a macintosh user.Also, it doesn't have the same number of modules contrasted with different IDEs for comparable advances like PHPStorm, WebStorm versus Eclipse, yet I trust that is on the grounds that relatively few designers are as yet working with ActionScript 3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flashdevelop:

Like FlexBuilder and Visual Studios, this is an incredible IDE to use for coding in AS3 and other glimmer dialects from past forms. I might want to make reference to that to take full favorable position of this application, investigate a portion of the modules and possibly outer libraries like greensocket or Starling for extra utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashdevelop solving and how is that benefiting you?

utilizing it for Game improvement. Client friendly.Implementing and making new programming applications in AS3 and perhaps HTML5 in the close future.It enable us to sort out our ventures in progressively rich way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

FlashDevelop is an absolute necessity have for anybody creating Flash and Adobe AIR programming. Code fulfillment speed by a long shot is the quickest I've at any point found in any IDE for any dialect. Squeezing a key springs up the code finishing board promptly, and it has never demonstrated a debasement in execution even in undertakings with many source records, some of which being a huge number of lines long at times. Also the debugger is a gift from heaven.

It is likewise by a long shot the best windows IDE for creating with OpenFL and Haxe. It gets all similar advantages of AS3 code insight for the Haxe dialect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

Its module network isn't too all around kept up. While there are some incredibly valuable modules, some are surrey (and some will break when there is a noteworthy refresh). Its inner refresh instrument "AppMan" could likewise be enhanced, as a portion of the apparatuses you introduce are not a straightforward one-and-done process (and could be whenever executed) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flashdevelop:

Engineers who are as yet constructing their Flash/AIR items specifically through the Adobe Flash/Animate IDE ought to move over immediately. It's basic and will hugy affect the speed of your future work processes. Basically use Adobe Flash/Animate as a benefit creation instrument rather (.SWCs) and use FlashDevelop for the majority of your ActionScript purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashdevelop solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has chopped down form times for Flash activities essentially contrasted with utilizing the Adobe Flash (Animate) IDE, and empowers keeping source code out of the Flash .fla course of events. This is made it a lot simpler to keep up code bases of a huge size, particularly since stacking resources into a task from .SWC records is a breeze with the IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

I would feel that this is a must have piece of software to have in your arsenal if you are an Adobe developer using Windows as an OS. It is a very fast code completer as well. It is very easy to learn and use as well. It has that Adobe feel and look to it, so if you have used other Adobe apps this will not have a long learning curve at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

The "AppMan" integrated updater is horrible. It is buggy, clunky and I feel either needs to be eliminated or overhauled completely. It is a good idea, just not implemented well. I remember certain aspects of it needing updated and it took forever for those updates to roll out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flashdevelop:

It is great to use, but do not rely on the integrated updater. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashdevelop solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving time building Flash projects. Easy to organize bigger code bases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

Light, fast, clean, and much more intuitive than most IDE's. Flashdevelop streamlines the development of Adobe Air apps (Actionscript 2/3), but also supports syntax highlighting for a wide variety of other languages. Flashdevelop can automatically install the needed SDK's and provides you with a variety of template projects and scripts to make creating multi-platform apps as simple as possible. This is without any doubt the best means of developing iOS apps on Windows (Yes, it is possible!). Flashdevelop is a hidden gem that far too few are aware of. Best of all, it's FREE! You had might as well try it, as it will cost you nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

After using FlashDevelop for years, I haven't encountered anything worth complaining over. If I had to choose something, it would simply be an aesthetic upgrade, however the vast majority of IDE's are not terribly well designed in aesthetics - actually Flashdevelop is still among the better ones, especially as it offers a selection of themes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flashdevelop:

It's free, so why not give it a shot? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashdevelop solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flashdevelop in combination with the Adobe Air SDK has enabled me to develop apps that run on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Blackberry, with nearly identical code. So few seem to be aware that this is possible. The time and effort I've said is immeasurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

I have been using for pretty much my whole career in developing and coding FlashDevelop. Things that I like about FlashDevelop is that it's very easy to get used to, especially if you are new to coding. It's a free application so it's a good alternative for businesses who can not afford the money for other programs that cost money. Granted, those programs are probably better but FlashDevelop works just fine and is something that I would recommend to a lot of people. It's UI is clean and nice so it will help with people who need to have an organized application or workstation. All my employees that have used FlashDeveloped have made huge progress on their projects and get them done much faster than usual. FlashDevelop also has great support for ActionScript and Haxe development. It's a very good application to generate code and compile it as well as debugging code.FlashDevelop can also be used for web development and it is all open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

I do not dislike many things about FlashDevelop, however, FlashDevelop is not close to the other applications that are more popular but it does get the job done and my workers seem to like it so I don't see too many problems with FlashDevelop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flashdevelop:

I really recommend other businesses and people to use FlashDevelop. I have been using this pretty much my whole career and it works fine for me and my employees. This works and I encourage others to try to use this app if they are in a predicament Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashdevelop solving and how is that benefiting you?

FlashDevelop is open source which many of my employees like. My whole company uses FlashDevelop and I have realized that for a small company, this program gets the job done as effective as pretty much anything else. Benefits business wise is that it is cheap. Evey employee uses FlashDevelop at my company and I will continue to use it as long as it is being effective for the workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

FlashDevelop has first-class support for Haxe development, the open source toolkit based on a modern programming language and cross-platform library. It's quite useful for game development due to its rapid compile and run times, as well as its great debugging functionality with FlashDevelop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

FlashDevelop is for Windows only, and it's not cross-platform either, which I wish is not the case as I am mainly a mac user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used it to develop games as well as to develop plugins. I specifically like using this IDE because it is very useful for carrying out high-speed HTML coding and editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flashdevelop?

FlashDevelop is a must-have for anyone developing Flash and Adobe AIR software. Code completion speed by far is the fastest I've ever seen in any IDE for any language. Pressing a key pops up the code completion panel instantaneously, and it has never showed a degradation in performance even in projects with hundreds of source files, some of which being tens of thousands of lines long in some cases. Not to mention the debugger is a godsend.

It is also by far the best windows IDE for developing with OpenFL and Haxe. It gets all the same benefits of AS3 code intelligence for the Haxe language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashdevelop?

Its plugin community is not all that well maintained. While there are some extremely useful plugins, some are buggy (and some will break when there is a major update). Its internal update mechanism "AppMan" could also be improved, as some of the tools you choose to install are not a simple one-and-done process (and possibly could be if implemented) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flashdevelop:

Developers who are still building their Flash/AIR products directly through the Adobe Flash/Animate IDE should migrate over right away. It's very simple and will have a huge impact on the speed of your future workflows. Simply use Adobe Flash/Animate as an asset creation tool instead (.SWCs) and use FlashDevelop for all of your ActionScript purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashdevelop solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has cut down build times for Flash projects significantly compared to using the Adobe Flash (Animate) IDE, and encourages keeping source code out of the Flash .fla timeline. This is made it much easier to maintain code bases of a massive size, especially since loading assets into a project from .SWC files is a breeze with the IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
