I will start programming in an AS2 application and would like to know which IDE to use.
I searched and found these two:
FlashDevelop and IntelliJ IDEA .
I've worked with Android Studio, which is said to be very similar to IntelliJ and was extremely good, really good.
PS : In the future this application will be migrated to HTML5 and Javascript, I do not know if this is worth commenting on.
Hugs.
* Both the question and my answer can be based on opinion ...
There are currently some well-known IDEs, but there are still some Flash Professional and Flash Builder , both from Adobe. The free, best-known and recommended is FlashDevelop, I say this in the amount of active (Brazilian) developers the community has, help forums and constant updates of the IDE itself, not to mention that the platform is similar to Flash Builder. / p>
I do not know if it's worthwhile to draw lines of code in ActionScript 2.0 to further design the content for Javascript. Although similar, you will lose some time, surely should change much of the programming. Without saying that many of the lines in ActionScript 2.0 will get lost in one or two Javascript functions, this is because it has not been updated for a long time, and Adobe has been following constant updates with the Flex SDK, ActionScript 3.0 and itself Adobe AIR.
Try to see the possibility of starting the application with Javascript to try to skip a certain programming time for the application. Today Javascript already offers enough resources for Web that are superior to Flash, as in performance and animations for example. And very good frameworks.
