do you use UML?

[dejanp]

Do you use any UML editor before you start working on some AS3 application? if yes, which one do you suggest?
I know about www.gskinner.com/gmodeler/ but does anybody uses it?
Any examples of UML diagrams for AS3 projects?
thanx!

I tried Microsoft Visio for a job and I liked it.
I don't know about gskinner but Visio is good.

Cheers.

Is there any special support for ActionScript in Visio, or it doesn't have to be?
Can you please post some examples of your UML diagrams for AS projects here?

[BradLee]

There is no support for Actionscript in Visio. It makes fine UML diagrams, but isn't capable of producing stubs for actionscript classes or anything like that.

For UML diagrams at work we normally us two big ol' white boards and draw all over them. After sufficient arguing and discussion somebody eventually makes a prettier version in Visio.

I don't get why you are looking for examples of UML diagrams "for AS Projects". Why would UML diagrams for a project being done in actionscript look different than the same project being done in any other language? It's all just classes, relationships, data members and so on...

You might want to track the Saffron project too, it's an AIR based UML tool. http://www.levelofindustry.com/display/ShowJournal?moduleId=676235&categoryId=114963

out of curiosity,for people that use UML, is it really helpful for coding a game?

Its helpful for coding anything requiring a less than simple programming design.
