What is the Slice2as Flash Builder Plug-in?

Flash Builder is Adobe's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for ActionScript programmers. ZeroC has created the Slice2as plug-in for Flash Builder that automates the translation of Slice files and manages the resulting generated code.

The Slice2as plug-in provides the following features:

  • Handles all aspects of translating your Slice files
  • Incrementally recompiles Slice files after modifications
  • Maintains dependencies between Slice files
  • Highlights compilation errors in your source code
  • Manages the generated code to remove obsolete files automatically
  • Supports Flash and AIR projects

The Slice2as plug-in has been tested with Flash Builder 4.5.1.
