Who This is For
This post is primarily for anyone that has to use Eclipse for actionscript programming, which is primarily for Mac, Linux, or even PC users who would rather use the eclipse platform.
FlashDevelop is only supported in windows (programmed using C#), so if using a Mac or Linux, you would have to use Eclipse with the Flash Builder plugin, or the Flash Builder, or for Mac users, code in the Flash IDE (CS3, CS4, CS5, ect).
Continuing
In the previous section, I listed pros and cons of creating games in ActionScript, as well as useful terms you may encounter when programming in ActionScript.
In this section, we will download and install Eclipse (with the Flash Builder Plugin), and create our first program.
(NOTE: I installed using windows, but using a Mac or Linux should be something somewhat similar – I’ll later try to borrow a Mac, and install Ubuntu to have screen shots from them as well)
