Q: 

Actionscript 3 authoring tools

I like the Eclipse SDK for other languages like python/java etc for writing code. But the Flash CS4 environment is not as intuitive (specially the editor). Is there any alternative for writing actionscript?

+3  A: 

FlashDevelop is awesome for coding in ActionScript. Check it out at: http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Main_Page I find that the code completion in this editor makes development a lot easier than inside Flash.

You might like to try the plugin FDT for Eclipse. It is more powerful than FlashDevelop but not free. IntelliJ ultimate edition is another alternative. I have heard it is good but have not tried it myself.
