I just finished the first version of a little applescript that enables you to get as3 snippets in any text editor on your mac.

Download snippets and copy it to /Library/Scripts.

Setup a short-cut… see here for an example on how to setup keyboard short-cuts. On page 3 an application called FastScripts is explained… I recommend using that.

I use the CTRL+CMD+SPACE as shortcut

When you hit your key combination you are asked to select a snippet. Press the number of the snippet you want. Then you are asked to give some parameters. Fill in the appropriate values and hit Enter. Your code will be pasted in to your editor at the cursor location.

Everytime scope is required the following can short version can be used:

pub = public

pri = private

pro = protected

sta pub = static public

sta pri = static private

The snippets:

addEventListener

parameters:

target:event (ex. myObj:Event.COMPLETE)

produces:

myObj.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onMyObjComplete, false, 0, true);

private function onMyObjComplete(evt : Event):void
{
IEventDispatcher(evt.target).removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onMyObjComplete);
}

removeEventListener

parameters:

target:event (ex. myObj:Event.COMPLETE)

produces:

myObj.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onMyObjComplete);

getter/setter

parameters:

name:type (ex. pub:username:String)

produces:

private var _username : String;

public function get username():String
{
return _username;
}

public function set username(value : String):void
{
_username = value;
}

var

parameters:

scope:name:type (ex. pub:username:String)

produces:

public var username : String;

function

parameters:

scope:name:return-type (ex. sta pub:getUser:User)

produces:

static public function getUser() : User
{

}

for var i

parameters:

counter:initial-value:operator:length:incrementer (ex. i:0:>:length:++)

produces:

for ( var i = 0; i > length; i++)
{

}

for var s

parameters:

key:target (ex. s:myObj)

produces:

for ( var s in myObj)
{

}

const

parameters:

scope:name (ex. sta pri:USER_READY)

produces:

static private const USER_READY : String = “userReady”;
