Actionscript 3 IDE

Hello,

I'm currently using textmate with the actionscript 3 plugin to get as3 compile support. I'd like to use flash develop though, as it comes with much more, including code suggestions.

Is there any free and/or opensource alternative to flex builder/flash builder 4 that runs on a intel Mac?

+1  A: 

you could use Eclipse IDE with the Flex SDK.

you can also get a free copy of Flash Builder 4 Standard from Adobe if you are a student, teacher or broke-ass developer: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/flex/free/?sdid=GXVTO&PID=1225267

there's also Aptana which supports AIR and Flex: http://www.aptana.com/

I have to say - I never knew Adobe was that charitable for (as you said) broke ass developers. That's pretty sweet.

A: 

I just run FlashDevelop in Parallels, works great. There's a lengthy discussion on the FD forum on how to configure it.
