A quick note to whom it may concern on my favourite tools for web development, primarily in AS2 & AS3:

I just had one of this “Oh my god how did I ever write scripts without this tool” epiphanies. Flash Develop rocks.  A lightweight framework that supports multiple instances (brilliant when you’re working on two or three complex builds) and I find, is just as good as Flex 3 for code completion.

SE|PY is a pleasure to use; I will still continue to use it for legacy AS2 projects as it’s a great tool, especially the XML parser which has been a long time favourite. This one of many goodies from Alessandro Crugnola including the amazing Flash Tracer and Flash Switcher Firefox add ons that are unbelievably useful thanks to http://www.sephiroth.it/

What would I do without Charles? It’s saved me a million times, especially debugging Flash stuff that talks to the server from Macs and PC’s. If you’re doing any sort of web development you should get this. Great stuff.
