FlashDevelop is a great light-weight tool for developing in ActionScript, it makes joint development easy and is very flexible for different project types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I find myself disliking about FlashDevelop is not being able to figure out all the customization for code style/layout. Somehow, no matter what settings I tweak, the auto layout is never what I want, so I only use it sparingly and then have to adjust.

I have also heard complaints about it not working on Mac, but I never work on a Mac so cannot verify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We all know that Flash has been modified as a danger due to all it's security issues, but you can't argue as a software developer on how elegant ActionScript 3 is, at least that's my opinion.

The fact that you can get a free IDE to work in Flash, that is compatible with Adobe Flash and Adobe FLEX projects, that it has it's own package manager to download debug tools, compilers, additional packages and more is just awesome.

It's free, it's constantly maintained and updated, has great support, tons of documentation and you can keep working in ActionScript 3, no matter what happened with Flash and with the new HTML5 technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool runs over Java so sometimes it can literally eat all your RAM memory.

Also, it doesn't have as many plugins compared to other IDEs for similar technologies like PHPStorm, WebStorm vs Eclipse, but I believe that's because not many developers are still working with ActionScript 3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it because It is a very lightweight IDE, it can work in diferent PC without incovenient. You can create several kinds of project like AS3, Adobe AIR, Haxe and even PHP.

I love its shortcuts they are life saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I should have an auto update option for adobe air sdk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing IDE and easy to use straight out of download

Code snippets that speed up coding

Very intelligent debugger with the implementation of using Flash CS6 and / or Flash Player within FlashDevelop

Very good plugins to use like Flex PMD (a little picky but good for holding coding conventions

Very good online resource and extensive library. Great documentation and Wiki. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No further support for some of its plugins. (Flex PMD, FlexUnit, etc)

Tedious to setup with FlashCS6 (Flex Builder is seamless)

Making folder structures on the fly is a pain within the program. Learn from Microsoft Visual Studios.

FlashDevelop should include automatically a PMD, a Unit Tester, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Flashdevelop for more than three years now. It is a very powerful tool in elearning. The good thing about flash is that, it can be used by both a designer and a developer at the same time. The tool is great at building games too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes things become complicated in Flash develop especially if someone is just a beginner. it would be a better idea if there is more tutorials than now for fresh developers to get an insight on how to get things done in flashdevelop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
