Once in a while a great tool pops up that improves how you work. SciTE Flash is such a tool. It's a ActionScript code editor made by coder - for coders.
Scintilla is a free source code editing component and SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. BomberStudios have added Flash support for it. In addition to color-coding your scripts and giving you great code hinting, SciTE Flash will let you collapse parts of your script in a logical manner, so that blocks of code contract/expand at your will. This is a great way to handle long and complicated scripts. SciTE Flash also integrates with Flash MX (via Flush, by Robin Debreuil) so that you can compile your scripts directly from the app. The editor also supports HTML, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, XML... Neat!
