This is great, is there anyway of making it work with .as files? At the moment is seems it only works with actions registered to a frame on your timeline.

thanks in advance

James, wow. I didn’t actually know about getText, setText, and setSelection. I might be able to do a lot more with this now.

Awesome! This almost emulates the tab shortcuts in TextMate.

One problem is that as it is the script gets rid of you actions panel history, so I’ve changed:

_doc = fl.getDocumentDOM()
_tl = _doc.timelines[_doc.currentTimeline];
_layer = _tl.layers[_tl.currentLayer];
_frame = _layer.frames[_tl.currentFrame];
script = _frame.actionScript;

to:

script = fl.actionsPanel.getText();

and:

_frame.actionScript = script;

to:

fl.actionsPanel.setText(script);
fl.actionsPanel.setSelection(script.length,0); // This part stops it highlighting everything by moving the cursor to the end

Still doesn’t work in .as editor though – I’ll continue playing around.
