So for the last two weeks, I’ve been exclusively using XCode, doing Objective-C iPhone stuff. Haven’t even opened Flex Builder. Back to work today and back to Flex Builder. My fingers are tripping over themselves trying to figure out shortcuts. The two environments are similar enough – yet different enough – to cause major brain cramps. I was just wondering if there was a way to code AS3 in XCode. I mentioned my pain on Twitter, and got a reply about this project called CoreSWF.
Can’t vouch for this one yet, as I just heard about it and haven’t had a chance to try it out, but this looks pretty interesting:

I’m sure I’ll be trying it out, and will post my feedback.
And yes, Sam Robbins, I remember you rigged together something for ActionScript in XCode way back when, when you were on a Mac and I was a PC guy. But that was 4-5 years ago (God, has it been that long???) Flash 7, AS2, some ancient version of XCode. I imagine that would need some major work to get functional again.
