Creating and Editing ActionScript and Flex Application Elements

IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 Web Help

Some features described here are available in Ultimate edition only.

When working on ActionScript and Flex applications, you create and edit the application elements (ActionScript and MXML files) using usual procedures:

Creating Template-based Files (Alt+InsertControl N or New | ActionScript Class and New | Flex Component).
- When creating an ActionScript class, you can select to create a class or an interface.
- When creating a Flex component (an MXML file), you can choose to create a Flex 3 or a Flex 4 file.
Opening and Reopening Files in the Editor (F4F4 or Jump to Source).

For ActionScript classes and interfaces, IntelliJ IDEA provides dedicated intention actions for creating subclasses or classes implementing an interface. These intention actions (called Create Subclass and Implement Interface) are available right in the editor, when the cursor is within the line containing the corresponding class or interface declaration.

When editing ActionScript and Flex sources, use extensive coding assistance provided by IntelliJ IDEA:

Syntax and error highlighting. Note that the way your code is highlighted is defined by an active build configuration.
Code completion.
Surrounding with tags or code constructs (Ctrl+Alt+TCommand Alt T and Ctrl+Alt+JCommand Alt J), and stripping off enclosing ones (Ctrl+Shift+DeleteCommand Shift Delete).
Intention actions and quick fixes (Alt+EnterAlt Enter).
Code inspections.
Jump to declaration (Ctrl+BCommand B).
Code refactoring.
9.0+ Automatic code generation (Alt+InsertControl N ): getters, setters, bindable getters/setters, event handlers, etc.
