I'm scaling onstage MovieClips via AS properties "scaleX" or "scaleY", which kills any kind of animation the clips have within their container MovieClip, be it Classic or Motion Tweens.

I'm trying to setup VIM for editing Actionscript 3 for some upcoming Flash projects. I dislike working in an IDE and prefer VIM. Right now, I know that I want: Omnicomplete (with tab completion) Syntax highlighting (there is an actionscript.vim file on vim.org but the highlighting is not as good as other syntax files) AS3 compiler acce...

Does anyone have suggestions for a good method to manage the display list in an actionscript 3 project?
