[MX] actionscript editing

[meisje]

hello,

does anyone know for MX:

a) a shortcut to comment out code, meaning a way to put // in front of every line of selected code and of course the reverse, uncommenting code

b) find and replace in multiple scripts

a) http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/comment.asp
b) you'd need an AS editor for that. Scite for instance.

a) thanks.. but i guess no shortcut then like in my HTML editor i can select and hit a shortcut? i vaguely remember there were a lot of shortcuts for AS, a series of sticky combo strokes beginning with ESC.. but i can't find an overview anywhere

B) i found the downloadsite for scite:

but i am one of those suckers who bought a macintosh, any other recommendable apps?

thanks ilyaslamasse, meisje

BBEdit (http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml) is the Mac coders app of choice

a! happy to hear bbedit is the answer.. but i don't see how to work this.. i don't see a preference in flash to point to an external editor and from bbedit.. drop the .fla on bb and edit from there???
