As soon as you save the .vfd file, the .as file should be automatically generated for you.
Now, there should be a "Properties" pane on your right. First, select the object to modify. Then, go to that pane and change the properties.

Version 0.2 Released. Check the first post for further details.
The new version is open-source, licensed under the MIT license.

It's improving

Problem: Event.* are generated as MouseEvent.*

Suggestion:
- generate stub event methods it they can not be found in existing code (just after the //[END..] line for instance),
- rectangle radius option.

The bug of Event is fixed.
I don't know how to add a rectangle radius... Particularly using "drawRect" instead of "drawRoundedRectComplex".

In order to generate the code, I'd need to know if the function already existed. Is there any built-in (perhaps in the Autocompleter) function to check this?

Yes I mean drawRoundRect. A simple radius (same for x&y) will be useful.

To check if the function exist I suggest just using Regex.IsMatch on the existing class code. Pattern would be like (not tested):

But then

/*
public function notImplemented()
*/

would match, although it shouldn't.

This would be a minor issue I think.

But if you want to be really sure you can still use the ASFileParser from ASCompletion.

Just installed v0.2.
Props for putting up the source as well.

Some testing feedback:

Bugs:
- On start-up focus always goes to "Events" with focus taken away from what I previous had chosen. Expected: The last tab I had selected (which is my "Project" tab) will stay selected.
- Shape selection is so percise its hard to select a 1px thick box.

Requested Features:
- Undo support
- Lasso selection of elements
- Any multi-selection of elements (lasso / shift clicking)


Most import, I just realized I misunderstood the purpose of this plug-in. I thought it was a UML-like tool for generating classes... I see it's more of a native graphic editor. My bad.

I have just installed Visual FlashDevelop and it looks great. However, is there a tutorial that shows how to use it (from design through to SWF) ?

Best Wishes

Not yet. I learned the hard way not to write tutorials until our software is ready and stable. Visual FD is neither.

Anyway, it is not dead yet. I'm still working on it. I'll probably put TextFields and Undo in it for the next version, and maybe some extra things.

Version 0.3 is out. New in this version is:
- Support for TextField elements
- Undo/Redo
- KeyboardEvents

Event function draft code generation didn't make it to this version because:
When a new event is assigned, all it does is mark the file as "Modified".
UNTIL the file is saved, the ActionScript target file is NOT modified. So, when you add events there would be two options:
- Automatically save the VFD file
- Get an inconsistent behavior in the application
Both may not be desired. I may consider the first option, though.

Also, if there is any bug or wrongly generated AS code, please tell me. I've tested it and it works fine, but it may contain bad ActionScript programming practices.

I love the idea but it isn't compatible with FD4. help me please!!!!!!!!

It's been 3 years since the last update - guess what it means.

its not going to continue

@13islucky, woah; I think you just posted more emoticons that everyone, ever has on the board over the past few years.

I agree it would be great if this plug-in continue. And your assessment of it's status may be true.

I think it would be accurate to infer, from the fact the plug-in hasn't been updated in 3 years, that it is abandoned. You may try contacting the plug-in author directly; maybe he/she will continue if there is an interested (and they have time.) Beyond that, I'd look for another solution in your pipeline; which may mean good ol' coding.
